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! 

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!

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

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 🙁

How was your weekend???

HAPPY 32 BONNIE! LOVE YOU AND NO ONE I’D RATHER SHARE THIS DAY WITH!!!!

Thank you friends!

 

Some may not know, but my Nannie has had a pretty rough year this year.  She was diagnosed with cancer and just finished her treatments not too long ago.  She seems to be doing much better and the Doctor’s can’t find any sign of cancer right now….praise the Lord!  Let’s hope this continues and Nannie lives a LONG and healthy life.  I can’t imagine not having her in mine.  If there was one person on this Earth I could wish to be like….it would be her.  There is none like her and there never will be.  She is the best.  That is all.  THE BEST.

I don’t get home as much as I’d like that’s for sure.  Terence and I are working a lot and only get so much vacation.  This makes the times we do get to spend together so special.  On Thursday after work Terence and I drove my new car (yes-I got a new car!).  We had to put the Avalon down after 11 years, she was sooooo good to us!  We ended up buying a Hyundai Sonata & so far I’m really liking it.  We drove the whole trip and didn’t have to fill up until we got to Arkansas.  Amazing gas mileage!

So we got in late Thursday, oh, and about 5 hours into our trip we realized we forgot basically all of our clothing.  We had fold up clothes and undies….but yup…..no clothes!  So the next day we drove to Little Rock to meet my sister.  We visited with Bonnie, Jarrett, and Vinny for  awhile and then went back to Conway.

Later that evening Mom & Dad took us out or a birthday dinner at Marketplace Grill.  YUM.

Saturday we woke up early and drove to Nannie’s house.  I love the farm.  It’s the one place I consider constant in my life and so many wonderful memories have been made on the farm.  There’s no place like it.  It’s nice to get away from the city and soak up the fresh air and see stars in the sky.  Nannie fed us chicken and dumplings, fried squash, fried taters, roast, and so many other fixens I can’t even remember!

We decorated Papa’s grave for Memorial Day:

Mom, Nannie, Me, Aunt Karli, and the boys

We have a lot of May birthdays

Some pictures of the farm:

We rode to the spring on the 4-wheelers

The boys loved it!

Best view ever

It comes out of the mountain behind there…..

On Sunday night we stayed with our good friends Kristin & Nate.  We miss them so much!  Had a great time with them and their kiddos and we found a turtle in the front yard!

Birthday dinner night 🙂I love this picture of Connor and my Dad

32 years old!

Bonnie and Vinny

Then it was off to Texas again….sigh….

We had a great visit and a few days off.  Hope you all had a blessed Memorial Day!

This little nugget makes my heart swell….and my ovaries.  I can’t believe how fast the past few years have flown by.  Everyone tells you that.  They say enjoy every minute because the time will go by so fast.  When you are in the midst of sleepless nights, feedings, and spit up you some how forget to take that advice. 

But then a few years go by and somehow you’ve forgotten all that biz?  Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about having another child.  I swore up and down that I wouldn’t even consider it.  Especially not anytime soon……

But….he’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever done.  He’s the ultimate gift God has ever given to me.  When the time is right and maybe if/when our hearts change for another dumpling.  Lord willing….before my ovaries are prunes…..just maybe we’ll have another???

Love you boo…don’t grow up too fast my lovey!!!



Contrary to popular belief I don’t carry my big honking fancy camera everywhere I go.  I wish I could, but it’s heavy and large and all that stuff!  Someone invent an HD camera for our phones will ya???

I’m loving Instagram.  Let’s face it we live in a very “visual” world.  We like to see pretty pictures and share them with our friends 🙂  It’s a lot of fun!  And ahem…..Pinterest…..need I say more???

So here’s a little glimpse of the last month or so via my life Insta-style

Connor before school Work clothes #ootd (out-of-the-door)

Connor and his #sipface

Instagram yourself with your Starbucks and tag with #sipface to see everyone’s faces! Bling Bling bracelets from VeryJane or Groopdealz???

A couple of weekends ago we rented a canoe and rowed down the river.  Connor LOVED it!  He said he saw sharks and snakes and alligators!!! Ha Ha!!!  What an imagination….I love this age.  It was so much fun, minus the sore shoulder for a few days….I can’t wait to do it again!!!

My favorite color: GREEN!  I got the striped tank at another daily deal online and the green cardigan at Nordstrom at NorthEast mall 🙂  I have curvy bootie too….my favorite jeans if you have curves are definitely Joe’s Jeans! I loooooove this skirt from Kiki La’Rue.  It’s so soft and breezy for summer.  Love Bug cookie  Michael Buble’s new album…good, but hardly any original songs???  Another Kiki La’Rue find! Awesome sauce coffee mugs  J.T.’s new album A+++++ My child’s apparent hidden talent…stuffing cars between his toes Hope ya’ll are having a good week!

Happy HUMP day!

Things have been pretty busy the past few weeks.   So it was nice to have a laid back weekend with my boys.  On Saturday our subdivision was hosting a neighborhood garage sale, so I went through some of our junk stuff and sat out for a few hours.  I made about $50 bucks…not too bad?  Saturday was also Terence’s birthday.  My hubby turned 32!  He’s the best hubs ever and I’m thankful for every day God has given us together.

The first birthday we shared together! May 11, 2000

We celebrated birthdays/Mother’s Day at my in-law’s house Saturday night with dinner, cake, and ice cream 🙂

Today the boys and I had red velvet pancakes, they let me do a little shopping at Anthropologie, and we took Terence to the electronics store.

Then we came back and took naps & I caught up on a little recorded TV.  Oh my gosh The Following is CRAZY!  And Arrow on CW is one of my favorite new shows too!!!

Me & my lovey!

He’s getting SO big!

My sweet boys

Thank you Lord for my beautiful family!  All the mothers in my life, and mom role-models.  I pray for all those out there still waiting for motherhood.  God’s timing is perfect!  Don’t lose faith!

We wish you many blessings this Mother’s Day!
