    Weekend Recaps + Labor Day

    This weeks Weekending consists of not one, not two, but three weekend recaps all rolled into one, including Labor Day. Here’s what we’ve been up to… I attended a wedding shower for one of my besties who is getting married on September 27th. I can’t wait to be a bridesmaid on her special day.  If you say “cheese” to Jack he gives you the biggest goofiest grin.  Our Labor day weekend started with a Dilly Bar from the good ole DQ. You know what’s really fun? Trying to drive and referee a fight between a 5 year old and a 1 year old who is screaming at the top of…

    Happy Grandparent’s Day!

    Happy Grandparent’s Day to all the grandmas, grandpas, memaws, pampas, grannies, grampy’s, pa’s, ma’s and whatever else little ones may call you. My boys are so lucky to have such wonderful grandparents and great grandparents. All of my grandparents have passed away and J lost his grandfather two years ago. We miss them all and wish they could be here with us. Since J’s parents live out of town we called them to tell them how much we love them and we took my parent’s out to lunch. We ate outside and the weather was beautiful! I had the kids make this little craft and we mailed one to J’s…

    Happy Labor Day and 1st day of September! We’ve been spending lots of time together as family, getting things done around the house, and enjoying one last swim of the season.  I’m linking up with Kelly and sharing one of my favorite breakfast recipes that also happens to be the perfect breakfast for dinner dish.

    4th of July 2014

    This 4th of July had to be one of my favorite ones yet. During the day we went to the State Capital for the annual Salute to America celebration. It was our first time and we will definitely be going back. There was face painting, carnival rides, street vendors, food trucks, sand sculptures, and a petting zoo which we somehow managed to miss. After a quick stop at home we headed to J’s aunt’s house. There’s just something about celebrating 4th of July in the country that makes it even more fun. Each year I look forward to going out there and I’m so glad my kids will have these…

    Easter 2014

    This Easter was one of the best yet. We went to church, hosted Easter lunch for my side of the family, and then traveled to J’s aunt’s house for dinner and another egg hunt. I love Pottery Barn’s Easter baskets and ordered Jack the white one to match Ben’s. When I got it in the mail this week I realized I ordered Jack the large sized basket. I ended up just turning the embroidered names to the back and made Jack’s the little one. I plan to order Ben the larger basket for next year so they’ll match.  I love Jack’s little hand reaching for his goodies. For the table…
