Week #8 {2018}

Sunday we brought Nico home from church and the boys did a little teenage boy therapy.

And then some of this...

Monday we have a sick boy.

and I had to work,

so daddy got to nuggle buggle him.

Tuesday's outfit of the day.  {I love her!}

We took Bombi to the dog park.

My momma found and sent this ADORABLE picture of her and my dad.  SOOOO CUTE!

Wednesday morning was beautiful.  We are supposed to be getting 4-1/2" of rain over the next 5 days, so I will enjoy this view while I can!

Thursday the school called and Payton is now sick.  She spent the whole day like this.

Aldi had a dozen roses for $1.99!  And man are they beautiful!

Bombi snuggled up right in between Dylan and me.

Friday morning, I met a girlfriend at The Perch and then we hit up...

Trader Joe's!

Saturday Chris had a few helpers when he was tiling the shower.

While they worked I made Mini Lemon Cranberry Muffins to freeze for the kids lunches.

Love this kid.

I finished this book in TWO days.  I COULD NOT put it down.  GO get it!

Week #25 {2015}

On Sunday this kid made me giggle-snort when he came to me asking for a snack holding the bottle of dressing and a container of salad. 

That late afternoon we hit up the pool,

with daddy which is always extra fun!

I was sitting on the couch talking with Chris when this big guy came over, sat next to me, and put his arm over my shoulder. He's so rad!

Monday morning came and I found Ry like this.

Then Tuesday morning I found him here again. I'm gonna miss this when he learns to sleep in his bed all night long.

We got to the pool around 10-ish and it was awesome because we were the only ones there for awhile.

We left about 1pm and tagged along with Chris to Nashville and dropped him off at a meeting because it was a mile away from...

Trader Joe's! I bought 2 "new-to-me" products, Pretzel Bagles and

Speculoos Cookies.

And yes we sampled both in the car as we waited for Chris' loan signing to finish. The Pretzel Bagels are awesome straight from the bag. {We've not tried them any other way yet.} And the Speculoos Cookies are very similar to Biscoff cookies just not as sweet and not as greasy. I'll be buying both again!

Wednesday we headed to the Splash Pad that just opened a few weeks ago.

The kids were done after about 15 minutes and headed to the adjoining park to play.

Early Thursday morning I was folding laundry when Ry woke up and saw me. He got mad that I was folding his clothes so I gave him the rest and he folded them all by himself. See his stack he did???

Then we went to the Super Hero Party that afternoon.

~

Dylan is ALWAYS hungry right before bed. I looked over and saw him snacking on shredded carrots. Crazy {but awesome!} boy.

Friday while at my favorite store, Walmart {that was complete sarcasm by the way, I despise going there but it has the cheapest prices for certain things and it is right by my house}, Ry decided to hide in the Charmin.

Dylan had a birthday party to go to that night. I tried to stay awake to pick him up at 9:30pm but failed miserably...and it turned out to be a super late nap. LOL!

~

Saturday I had my IF:Table group in the morning and we ended the night watching Shrek 2!

Then right before bed Dylan was doing this:

Itsy's Wedding {California Day 3}

My mom toasted some old fashioned donuts for us for breakfast. I don't like donuts {I totally DON'T get Krispy Kreme}, with the exception of these toasted old fashioned {and it has to be toasted} and Dunkin Donuts Blueberry Munchkins, those are good too. 

I gave my dad a Goo Goo Cluster and Buddy, his dog, was hoping for a nibble.

We ran a bunch of errands and stopped for a bite at Miguel's Jr.

I've never eaten there before, but I WILL be back. It was so good.

Then a quick impulse buy at Trader Joe's. So good.  I'm on vacation, so I didn't look at the fat content.  =)

I got to FaceTime with these cuties. Oh how I miss them.

And then there is a long drawn out story about my sister, Jeannine, losing my moms car in the WalMart parking lot.  We ended up finding it in front of Ross, and it was hilarious.

Then it was time for Itsy's wedding.

It was at the Laguna Beach Presbyterian Church.  So pretty.

Itsy, actually her name is Elizabeth, is a long time friend. We grew up together and knew each other before we were born. We don't get to see each other all the time, but when we do, we have such a great time together.

She was a stunning bride.

Isn't my mom beautiful?

On the way to the reception, I drove up this hill:

It doesn't look so bad in the photo, but it's super steep and it terrifies me every time I have to go up and or down it. I drove it so I {actually my dad} could video it for Dylan.

~

The reception was at the Ritz Carlton, in Laguna Beach and the weather was perfect.

And the sunset, amazing.

Then it was time for dinner.

Not a bad view from my seat!

Mr. & Mrs. Durant!

The salad was excellent.  And it even had flower petals in it!

Chicken, Steak & Bacon.  Enough said.

Aunt Valerie, the mother of the bride.

Uncle Berry, the father of the bride.

Then it was time to dance. And that's my mom out there with us!  I'll spare you the video, cause I can't dance, but we had a blast.

Back at my sister's house, we said goodbye to Jeannine. I was spending the night at Davese's and Jeannine had to go back to our mom and dad's because she flew out early the next morning.

Goodbyes stink.  But we had SUCH A FANTASTIC and wonderful time.

We will laugh and joke and remember this trip for a LONG time to come.
