Botanical Gardens, Book Club, and growing plants!

Yesterday was a beautiful day and we just couldn't stay inside. We always go to the park, so I thought we would do something new. I had been wanting to go to the Western Slope Botanical Gardens for awhile, so I figured, "Why not?"

Leilah, Devin and I.. This is my favorite picture of the 3 of us.

Devin and I looking at the Box turtle.

Devin LOVED the Koi fish.

My favorite flowers- Orchids.

My babies and I again :]

Devin loved this great train out in the gardens.

Leilah bug watching the butterflies.

Pretty butterfly landed right next to me.

Beautiful Koi fish.

It was really beautiful there, and Devin had a great time. Leilah even had fun looking around at all the colors. I'm glad we went, it was something new and fun to do on a quiet day.

So, the other day, the group of moms I talk to online and I decided that we should start a book club because we all like to read! I just blogged about how much reading means to me not too long ago, and I can't even tell you how excited I am about this book club. Our first choice of book is Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. 

I had never heard of this book before, but when I read what it was about, I could already feel myself being pulled in. I love that- when a book pulls you in from the beginning, and you just can't put it down.

I'm still finishing up Eat Pray Love (which I LOVE by the way... I'll write about that later.), but I can't wait to start this new book.

I posted pictures last week of the pots that I planted flowers in. I have been OCD about watering them everyday, and I check on them constantly. The other day while watering, I was so excited to see little sprouts poking through the soil!! I've never grown anything in my whole life! 

I'm so proud of myself. I can't wait to see how beautiful these flowers grow to be. 

Tomorrow, Leilah is 4 months old! And I think we're going to go get her ears pierced! I'll post pictures!
