Weekend

The times where the week runs into the weekend without notice a dwindling. I go back to work next week - I cannot believe 12 weeks has flown by so quickly. Its so sad! What I think I will miss the most about going back to work (besides my sweet baby) will be Mondays being a free day with my mom. I will continue to work from home on Mondays, but key word there is work. No more play. Womp. Womp.


This weekend was a quick one! Friday nights are always pizza and a movie at home. Its a perfect ending to our week. And golf. don't let me forget the putting contests the boys have nightly. Since Gray's golf obsession has not subsided yet, we got up Saturday and went to Top Golf - betchya didn't know it opens at 8:00 am, we were there at a bright 8:20. This boys day was made before it was even 10am.

That night we were supposed to go to the FC Dallas Soccer game, but the weather had different plans for us - so I introduced G to jumping in puddles!

Which worked out better because my little friend didn't nap and passed out by 7pm... the time the game would have started. J was passed out not long after, so I snuggled with my littlest love while watching my absolute fav - How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days

Sunday I was able to celebrate one of my closest friends and her baby boy due in October. More pics to come later this week - of course!

After the shower, we took Gray to meet his new teacher. This year he will be in a Preschool Prep class. So 8am-3pm is more like preschool, with lessons, art, music, PE and Spanish and then the hours outside of these times is freetime. I am really excited to watch him grow in this new environment!


Monday we celebrated his last day of "summer" by taking him to the zoo with my mom. We had so much fun he took a 3 hour nap afterwards - Mom Win for sure!

Looking forward to this week without the kiddos - facial, massage, lashes... so many "me" things after 11 weeks of not so much "me time" - wooooohoooo!


Have a great week, yall!

What We Were Up To

This weekend started early for us - JoJo wanted to get out this week and invited us to join them at the Roughriders Game. We super lucked out with abnormal August Texas temperatures.

Friday C&I prepped for a shower, went to his 2 month check up (details on all that later this week) and then went and stayed out at my parents as it would be closer for me in the morning to start out the busiest Saturday ever.


Saturday morning started by showering my sweet co-worker & friend, Rebecca. She and Charlie are getting married in just a few weeks! We are thrilled for her and a DFF shower is always a great time - I will post plenty of pictures of this later this week as well!

After I ran back to my parents, pumped and grabbed C, I met J and Grayson in Dallas to celebrate our sweet little friend Emily's 2nd birthday with a pool party! I am terrible and took zero photos - but Gray could not have loved her party any more. This boy has turned into quite a fish these days.


We decided to run home after the party to change and head out to our final destination for the day, but on the way home Gray told Jarrett that his tummy hurt... not long later I was texting my experienced mama friends "how do you clean out your car seat from throw up?!" Good to know that you can throw the pieces in the wash. I think the 1,000,000 belly flops G did at the party, resulted in lots of water in his belly (and a bruise on his face - boys). I opted to head to Glen and Kathleen's Ice Cream Social Gender Reveal solo with the littlest of our bunch.


He makes a perfect date if you ask me.

Kathleen's mom did such an awesome job on this party! The theme is precious, and a perfect way to announce that our boys will have another sweet little girl to be besties with!

After a crazy Saturday, Sunday was so low key. The only thing we did outside of the house was grab BBQ for lunch.


My sweet Layla Love turned 10 on Sunday. TEN. She was my first baby, and although she may not get the same attention from me these days, she's still the best snuggler and Grayson loves her oh so much. He wants her with him always. "Come on Layla!" "Layla come!" He gives her cookies after she obediently "sits & shakes". They wrestle, and she tolerates all of his crazy. I cannot imagine a better companion for our family. We love this sweet pup!

The fun didn't stop there - Mondays my mom comes over since its her day off. While I have been on maternity leave we have been trying to do something fun for G. This week we went to lunch with his favorite - guacamole and then to the Library to play.

Such a great weekend - hoping this week is just as fun! XoXo

Weekend Things

Everyone else is super excited that their work week is already halfway over, and I am over here like "It should be Monday". Spoken like a true lady on maternity leave.


This weekend was a great one, but after 4 days of J and Grayson being home - Carter and I are a little off schedule. Life with a newbie isn't always easy when you want to go, go, go, as evidence by the state of our home right now. It's disgusting, but I digress.


We had a lot of family time this weekend - with our new family of four, our extended families and our bestests (which are just as much family to us).


Every morning we got up and walked to the park. Feels great in the mornings before that Texas heat starts to beat down on us.

And there was a lot of snuggling - this kids jowls cheeks are no joke! Although his arms might fight his cheeks for all the heavy cream at every feeding.

Sunday we went to my  in-laws to celebrate with BBQ and swimming. It was a relaxing day, and Gray is LOVING the pool and swimming this year. We got to spend time with Justin, Jordan and Hayes before Miss Poppy makes her arrival this Friday! We cant wait to meet you sweet girl!

This kid and gloves yall... oh man

These are as good as they get... I will just leave it at that.

To celebrate the 4th, Honey, Uncle Dude + Crew came out to our neck of the woods. It was hot. And humid. Mostly humid, but the kids still had fun and I always love this company.

I hope yall had a blessed and happy 4th! Here's to getting back on schedule, before I ruin it all over again this weekend.
