Throwback Thursday {Link-Up} Father’s Day Edition

With Father’s day right around the corner I wanted to share some special photos of my Daddy.

He’s the best BEST Daddy I could have ever prayed for.  He has the biggest heart and is always doing things for others.

He means more to me than I could ever tell him in words.

Thank you Daddy for always being there for me and loving me no matter what!

LOVE YOU SWEET DADDY!!!!

Okay, now it’s your turn to link up with your Daddy 🙂


The Best Thing I Ever Did

My sweet boy.  The days go by so quickly it seems & you are growing up right before my very eyes.  You are learning new and exciting things about life and it’s such a joy to sit back and watch.  God has shown me so much through you and your life.  I can’t imagine not having you.  You are the best thing I’ve ever done.  Yes, you have your moments….but that’s just part of living and learning.

D7K_1804You have the biggest personality and it shines through wherever you are and with everyone you meet 🙂

D7K_1811 What did we do before you?  People always say that, but it’s true.  The weekends aren’t long enough & the weeks are too long.  I wish I could be there to hold you and protect you always.  You have my heart and you know it….you run to me when you are hurt or need a snuggle.  Your Daddy is your play buddy, but Mama is always there to hold you and love on you!

  • You are loving school and the crafts you make.  You planted a garden last week and are watching it grow.
  • I have to drag you out of bed in the mornings….yes eventually that day has come!
  • You like to eat anything with peanut butter or cheese….or sugar…..ugh……
  • Every time I ask you what your favorite color is you change between blue and green.
  • You want to read the same book EVERY night.  Cars “Look & Find” book.

MOST OF ALL DON’T FORGET HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!

AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO WRONG, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST THING I EVER DID!D7K_1821

Live every day and enjoy every second.  It sure does fly…………07042010-11

All Those Birthday Shirts

I’m saving all of Connor’s birthday shirts.  It’s just one of those things that I just can’t get rid of.  But what do you do with all of those?

I think when he gets older I’m going to have all his shirts made into a quilt.  I know he won’t be wearing the cute appliqued shirts forever, but he will for awhile…..

I want to have a t-shirt quilt made with all of them like this one on Sew Caroline.

What do you think?

Too overkill???….I just can’t get rid of them 🙂

Five on Friday

This week has seriously flown by.  I’m excited about helping a dear friend plan a shower for her baby girl tomorrow!  Yay!  It’s been a long week, but short in other areas….you know how that is? 

I went to pick up Connor from school yesterday and he shoved a kid.  That’s all I saw.  He pushed him to the ground and I don’t know what happened before that…but seriously???  It’s just awful and it hurts my heart.  We had a long talk about it and I know he knows what he did was wrong, but still, why did he do that? 

Overall, he’s a really good kid and he doesn’t behave like that at home so I’m wondering what happened?

Okay so on a positive note, here are FIVE things I’m loving this week (or missing) and I’m linking up with Five for Friday Link-Up.

This bruschetta I had while visiting Arkansas and dining with my friends.

I’m still dreaming about it.  So good!IMG_20130526_140535Also this dessert.  I’m going to try this at home.IMG_20130526_151226Memories made with best friends…IMG_20130526_203352Friends that will babysit your kid on a last minute’s notice. 

They love him so much and he has been talking about them all week.  So blessed.IMG_20130601_140440It’s FRIDAY so I splurged on Starbucks. Gulp.

I wish a Seattles Best was a bit closer to my work, but I’m sure they are getting there 🙂IMG_20130607_090428New bloggy business cards.

I ordered these from Overnight Prints and they did a bangin job. 

I realized when I went to Blissdom I had nothing on mine except my name, email, and blog address.

Apparently I also needed to include all social sites…so I’m thrilled with how these turned out!IMG_20130607_090608My big boy is growing up 🙂PicMonkey Collagezz

Weekend Wrap-Up

We had a pretty chill weekend.  Terence and I have started watching a show called “The Killing” on Netflix.  My Mom recommended it.  It’s a really good mystery and crime drama.  Season 3 premiered last night and I am recording that on DVR. 

Saturday morning I woke up and went to a photo shoot for the Fort Worth Mom Blog’s new site.  I’m so excited to be a contributor to their website, all the girls were so nice.  If you haven’t checked it out you can find it HERE.

I’m hating my hair right now.  It’s so hard to remain patient and let it grow out.  It’s not growing out pretty either….UGH.  My sister gave me some stuff for my hair and I am LOVING it.  It’s called “It’s a 10 Miracle Leave in + Keratin” I can definitely tell a difference in my hair lately.

Speaking of hair…this little guy got his fro cut this weekend.  I told her to go easy.  I am a tad bit attached to those curls and I didn’t want them all chopped off!  395313_10152873625555125_1205967317_n

He just LOVES going to school and that makes my heart so happy.  He’s always talking about his friends and doing fun crafts….my baby boy is growing up!550336_10152772101545125_1117336640_n 248385_10152823418655125_2003389601_n

We also attended the wedding of Terence’s cousin Macy & her husband Matt….it was such a beautiful wedding!!!482577_10152870473140125_1857519835_n

My Birchbox left something to be desired….the Cargo blush came all crumbled up and was completely ruined.  They were nice enough to credit my account 100 points.  I was so disappointed though 🙁934070_10152817645090125_2131191375_n

How was your weekend???
