An update weekend kind of thing

I have so much to update and talk about so I'm just going to jump right in.

The shower is over and I just got the pictures this morning so look for a full on update next week on what I did for decor and pictures of the venue it's amazing


My Mom had her surgery and is officially cancer free. I'm so happy and glad that it was caught and taken care of quickly.


We went on our annual blueberry picking trip and let me just say I know every year it is just going to get better. Grayson was such a good boy and ate blueberry's happily in his stroller.






This past weekend I was up to my eyeballs in final shower preparation so my mom offered to take Grayson overnight on Saturday night and it was just what I needed. I breezed through my final shower prep and went on a date with my husband. It was wonderful and amazing. And even though I had the chance to sleep in I was up at 6:45 (major mom moment there).


Our 5 year (!!!!!) anniversary trip is about 3 weeks away and I'm beyond excited. We only have a few things planned and the rest we are just going to wing it.


Grayson is spewing new words out all the time now. His latest is HOT! but they way he says it is so cute with a little lisp on the T I'm in love. He has a cute raspy voice and it melts me all the time. He is also super helpful around the house. He likes to throw out his own diaper (only the pee ones) and pick up his toys and but his shoes in his bin. He helps with laundry and while it takes me twice as long to fold it because he keeps handing me clothes I can tell he is so proud for helping.


I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that tomorrow is August 1st where did June and July go?


I have been getting more things done around the house now that G is able to wander more easily. With a gate on the stairs he can roam to downstairs which gives me time to get somethings done before starting dinner. I feel like I'm taking back my house and I love it.


On Sunday while I was hosting the shower my sister had G and my brother invited them to the local splash park. G loves being with his cousins. They also have a small part with 25 cent rides and they went on those a few times and played on the playground. He took a 3 hour nap that afternoon.

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
