Insta-Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend was our anniversary, but we had family in town and other things going on so we are going to celebrate next weekend with a date night 🙂

I love the man….he is my everything!
 We ate lunch at Jersey Mike’s
Cheeto Face
 Mama got her crack and I was good for the day!

 Connor is loving some Braums this summer.  His Poppy loves Braums so we ate some for him.

Friday night after work we went to eat at Chick-fil-a at the mall until the gymnastics place opened for play night.  Connor was going crazy in the gymnastics place and when it was time to go he threw a tantrum….we may not be going back for awhile after that show out! He even tore my necklace off my neck while I was trying to carry him out! UGH!  He went all limp noodle one me….. He embarrassed the poo out of me and wasn’t following the rules on the trampoline so we’ll just wait until we have classes 😉

 A sweet girl that works at our company brought in Sprinkles cupcakes….MY FAVORITE! 

 I ate them for breakfast
This cute little table was so neat!
It was 50% off at Aaron Brothers.  Do ya’ll think that is a good deal?
  
We had Aunt Suzan & Uncle Royce stay with us this weekend.  Connor loved having them visit! 
This picture is so cute of them walking into Cracker Barrel.
 WE HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT WEEKEND & HAPPY MONDAY!

11 Years

Happy Anniversary to the man who stole my heart!
I love you today more than yesterday and tomorrow more than the next……
Happy 11 years to my the best husband, friend, and father I could have ever prayed for. I love you with all my ♥ and pray for 50 more….

*CHEERS*

Fit Throwing Biz

I stayed home with Connor yesterday because he hasn’t been feeling well.  He was pretty good most of the day but we had an issue when I tried to wash THE BLANKET.  I mean he had it out!  I thought I was going to start crying….of course every time I offered up another blanket he would just get more furious.  I told him I was going to take his picture and he stopped right after…..I guess he knew he better stop or I may show these to future girlfriends 😉 Ha ha!

I’m ready to go back to work today….aka….”vacation”.
Just KIDDING!  I wouldn’t trade any day with him….fit throwing and all!  I love you so much boo boo and hope you have a good day today with your nice clean blanket.

We also got to visit with my lovely friend Amber.  I LOVE HER.  She is such a beautiful person inside and out.  I’m so glad God brought her into my life….and she found me through this here blog!  She’s doing so good raising her two boys since Brett died earlier this year.  She’s much stronger than I would be….I just admire her in so many ways. 

I told her I was going to talk with my British accent until the Olympics were over.  I tried it for awhile but I don’t think she was too fond of it!  LOL!

 Us embarrass anyone…..NEVER!
We headed over to Garden Ridge to take in all the Christmas wonderland and Halloween horrors.
Ya know because it’s August and all….only 110 degrees outside!
Connor was not scared when we scooted down this isle…he just laughed!

Welp!
I hope ya’ll have a great Friday!

Father’s Day 2012

We had a fab Father’s Day weekend!
We are so blessed to have Terence.  He’s the best Dad and Hubby ever.  God has truly blessed us with him and he takes such good care of us.  I know I don’t tell him enough how thankful I am for him and how much I love him.  But honey….I love you and you and Connor are my heart.
Aren’t Terence’s new glasses so GQ?  I love them 🙂
He was so nervous ya’ll….but I think they really are nice on him.
Connor and Mama

We had a nice lunch over at T’s parent’s house with family and all the kids got to play together.  It’s SOOOOOO hot in Texas right now.  Although, it is a lot cooler than last summer…..so far!

We are so thankful for our Dads, Grandpas, Uncles, and brothers…all the father figures in our lives.

I love this collage I made a long time ago…..my gosh how time flies!
Daddy holding Connor for the first time 🙂

And here is my Daddy holding my sister and I.  Bless his heart.  TWO BABIES.  I cannot imagine.  I am constantly telling my Mom & Dad I don’t know how they did it…but thank you thank you!!!!

My precious Daddy.  He is such a teddy bear.  He has the kindest heart of anyone you’ll meet.  He’s giving, and always puts others before himself.  He loves my Mom with all his heart after all these years I can still see how much he loves her and tries to please her.  My Daddy is always sending me little cards in the mail to remind me how much he loves me and how proud he is of me.  He’s my cheerleader and is not just my Dad, but my friend and I feel like I can talk to him about anything.  My Dad always holds a special place in my heart.  I LOVE YOU SWEET DADDY!

BIRCHBOX JUNE 2012

 I’m linking up with Fabulous But Evil today for Birchbox linkup….go HERE.


I loved the fun Ziploc baggy.  Not sure what I’ll use that for?  Also-not sure what I’ll used the blender cleanser for since I’ve already used my Blender and I’m not paying $25 for a new one.  It does say you can use it to clean regular makeup brushes though??? 
I tried the self tanning towel.  Overall I got great coverage, still some streaks but it was easy to apply.


The Staniac sort of reminds me of Benefit Benetint….and I actually like that one better.
Overall this month’s box was GOOD!  I love getting my little surprise in the mail every month!

HOPE YA’LL HAVE A GREAT MONDAY…..
OFF TO WORK!



Mayfest Fun!

Here in Fort Worth they have a weekend festival the first weekend of May called “Mayfest”.

It sort of reminds me of Toad Suck Daze back home in Conway 🙂

We had a great family day out yesterday…of course I was sweating like a PIG!  It’s already so hot here in Texas….I need to work out and get a hot bod so I can wear some shorts and not be ashamed of my white legs 😛  Of course there were lots of people there wearing crap they shouldn’t have been wearing so that made me feel better, but seriously.  This may be a sundress summer because I don’t like shorts????

I am going on a juice fast starting today so we’ll see how it goes.  I say a fast…but really I think I’m going to have a juice for dinner every night and eat a light lunch mid day.  I’m just not happy with my muffin rolls and I want to feel better about myself.  Especially now that summer is here.

So here is my little family at Mayfest 2012

Excuse my hot and tired looking self… we had worked the early morning Sunday school class at 8:30.  We had EIGHT two year olds!  God bless all you Mom’s with multiples…I just don’t know if I could do it!  I was beat!  Then we stopped for a Starbucks and Connor dumped it all over the back seat of my car and onto the carpet….sigh…just another day!  Pick and choose your battles.  He’s becoming and very opinionated and defiant two year old some days…but other times he just melts my heart and is so loving.

 Thank goodness for child leashes…especially in places like this!
 Connor rode his first pony. 
He was a little scared, but he did well overall and he loved it!
 Awesome sand castle
 Cracking our Mayfest confetti eggs!!!
 Riding on rides with Daddy
OMG why are fair rides SO expensive???
I swear they drain you…they know this…and get away with it because they can!

We had a great weekend.  I spent most of my free time devouring the ever popular “50 Shades of Grey” series everyone is talking about….and let me just say it did not disappoint!  But now I am left hanging and I must read the 2nd one asap! This book as pulled me in hook, line, and sinker. 

I love a good romance …..and this is WAY more than a romance let me say…blushing red romance.  I wish Terence would read it.  I think most women wish their men would read it.  My husband is not a reader, but dang…I wish he would, it might inspire some spice in our 11 year marriage….you know what I’m saying??? ha ha!!!  I really loved KLaw’s review.  She’s the funniest writer and as blunt as I’ll get out…but she doesn’t hold back and that is why I love her blog 🙂

Okay enough about that…have you read the book?  What do you think about it?



Connor’s 2nd Birthday Party

We celebrated Connor’s 2nd birthday on Saturday.  I can’t believe my baby boy is already TWO!  Time just flies by when you’re having fun!  My Mom, Dad, sister, and nephew Jarrett drove in from Arkansas for the party.  I’m so excited to have them here, it wouldn’t be the same without my family.  Bonnie flew back home today and Mom, Dad, and Jarrett are gonna hang out with us a couple more days.

This year we rented out an area at our church and it worked out great!  It was so much better than having it at my house and having to clean up the mess afterwards.

I didn’t really do as much as I did for his first birthday.  We just did cupcakes and ice cream.  Works just fine for me and less stress!  (I highly suggest this method)

It was St. Patrick’s day so it was the perfect day for a “Starbucks” and green party 🙂

 
Great Granddaddy and Nell
Party favors
Cupcakes – thanks Pinterest for the idea 😉
Hot chocolate bar
Me and my twinkie Bonnie
 I think someone enjoyed his cupcake!
 I love you sweet boy!
Thank you family and friends for coming out.
We had the best time and love you all so much!
xoxo
Becky, Terence, and Connor
