Come and take a ride on my Big Green Tractor!!

I have just thoroughly enjoyed having Saturdays off.  I can’t believe the difference it has made!!  I feel like I have so much more time with my boys and Chris…that was my goal!!!

Are you on instagram??  I may or may not be becoming addicted!!  Thanks to that app, I have pics to blog from our weekend!!

Saturday morning, we had some fun playtime!

I know I have tweeted before that I would LOVE to start a hair blog!!  I have been meaning to share how much I love this product for awhile now.  Redken Powder grip….this stuff is amazing!!  It gives some great volume at the roots!  I seriously don’t think I can fix my hair w/out it anymore!!  Maybe I should do a giveaway!!!  What do you think???

Saturday afternoon, me and the boys went to get ice cream and then went to Andrea’s house.   Chris was doing some plumbing work there so we brought him a cold treat and got to spend some fun time with Andrea, Taylor and Shep!!  Maddox had the time of his life…he got to drive the John Deere Tractor!!! To say he was in heaven is probably an understatement!!  Thanks Shep!!

Ryder got to ride too!!

We went on a trail ride thru the woods and fields on the golf cart!!  Notice the pics below we can’t get the boys to all look at the same time!!

I was excited to break out the boys July 4th clothes!!!  It is just around the corner!!!

This morning was church of course. I have still not taken Ryder to nursery….I know I need to just get over it and let him go…but I’m struggling with it.  The problem is…he is getting impossible to wrangle during church.  We thankfully have a cry room that I can take him to and still hear the message but it is still hard to pay attention even in there. 

Maddox playing with his girlfriend Elynd!!

I LOVE these girls!!!  Deana and Keleigh hold special places in my heart!!  Me and Keleigh were both sporting the side pony this morning….great minds think alike!!! ha!

Kendall and Ryder!!! They were born a couple days apart and now here they are….already 1!!! 

Tonight we watched the Gamecocks play in the CWS Championship game…not happy about the loss but we’ve still got tomorrow night!!! Go Gamecocks!!!

New Lens Love!

Here are some pics from the past week that I took with my new 50 mm lens.  I love it for the most  part…I haven’t got use to the fact that It doesn’t zoom in and out  but once I figure out where I need to stand to shoot  I love the look this lens gives my pics.

I took my camera to work last week…I need to start a portfolio of hairstyles and color that I do.  Even though I had my camera, I didn’t use it much….here is Sydni…she just started first grade…isn’t she cute!!

The back of Sydni’s hair!

I love me some McD’s Iced coffee’s….sugar free vanilla with extra cream please!!

 

Saturday evening, we went to my cousin Chad’s 40th birthday party.  His wife rented a photo booth and it was so much fun…they had all these fun props you could put on for the pictures….FUN!! 

My cousin Johnny and his wife Crystal

I know this pic is overexposed but I love it anyway!!

My cousin Tiffany and her son Harrison

Maddox, Laura and Harrison…unfortunately I didn’t even get a pic of the birthday boy.

Ryder after church

How cute are these little shoes!! I found them at a church consignment sale back in the spring…love me a good find!!

I didn’t plan it but me and Maddox were matching for church Sunday in our grey shirts!

That’s a lot of handsome!!!

Hope everyone’s having a great week!!!  I’m off tomorrow and will be with my boys!!!! LOVE!!

Lately

I don’t know how I get so behind on blogging!  I need to do better so I can come up with better titles for my posts…I feel like “catch up, this and that, and last weeks happenings are a little worn out by me! ha!

These pics are from last Friday…Andrea and Taylor stopped by for a little visit!

Taylor, Ryder and Maddox

So sweet!!  They are growing so fast!!

Friday evening, Chris was out of town with the football team.  They had a scrimmage game about 2 hours away.  So me and the boys played outside and caught up with the neighbors. 

Saturday, I had a few hours of ME time!!

Sunday, Me and Ryder went to church and Chris and Maddox stayed home.  Chris woke up with a pounding headache.  He got ready for church anyway but even before we left he was still in pain.  I knew I could not handle both boys during service b/c Maddox still will not go into nursery.  Here is Baby Kendal…she was born a few days before Ryder and we were all in the hospital at the same time.

Sunday after church, we went to Chris’s Mom and Dad’s for Sunday dinner.  I have been on a diet trying to get rid of my baby weight but I decided to allow myself to eat good that meal!  His parents know how to do Sunday dinner!! Yum!!

Keeley, she will be a year old soon

Maddox and Kenny, they had a ball playing together

Kristie getting to meet and hold Ryder for the first time!

Sunday evening, we had some freaky looking clouds pass over!  I could just imagine a tornado dropping out of them…they were swirling.

Monday, we went to the pool….after we went on our walk!

Maddox is gearing up for football season!!

Ryder slept the whole time.  I could just squeeze him in the pic below.

Joy had to go to the bank so to keep from having to dry Tori’ hair…I braided it for her.  I think it turned out cute!!

Ryder still snoozing!  I love his blue eyes but I love these sweet sleeping pics too!

I’m not going to overload this post with anymore days and will try to finish catching up in the next one.
