Weekend Recap!

Actually these pics were from last Wednesday.

Check out that nice bruise on his forehead. He is clumsy like his Mommy!

He just wanted to throw the pumpkin!!

On Saturday, I was honored to help host a baby shower for my good friend Keleigh! It was such a hard day for her because her grandmother passed away that very morning. Her mother decided to go ahead with the shower. They were amazingly strong getting thru the shower….my heart just hurt for them.

I tried my hand at making the tissue poms! It was so easy and fun!

I also made the banner! It matches the bedding in her nursery!

She was blessed with lots of adorable gifts for Miss Elynd!

I was gone the whole day Saturday so Chris and Maddox had lots of Father-Son time. Chris said that Maddox sat and watched the whole South Carolina vs. Alabama game with him. Speaking of the game…..Yeah Cocks!!! On Sunday Maddox didn’t want much to do with his Mommy.

Maddox enjoying his grapes!!

Look at those cheeks!

Hope your weekend and Monday were great!!

Show us your life – Kitchens

My kitchen was the first room of the house that I painted after we moved in…I love the light gold color, it just goes so well with all the other colors I love to use. I don’t use my kitchen a lot for cooking but it does get used a lot for collecting mail on the bar, microwaving, pouring drinks and lots of things like that! Ha! So here is a peek!

This is our breakfast area…the view walking in from our garage.

I had this plate rack forever and never hung it so one day I decided it would make a great display for photos!!

Anniversary, Wedding and Birthday Celebrations

This past Saturday Chris and I celebrated our 11 year wedding Anniversary! It’s so hard to believe 11 years have already come and gone. I can’t say that all the years have been easy but I can say that I have an Amazing husband who I am so in love with! Chris is everything I could ever want in a husband…he loves me with all his heart and is always willing to go the extra mile to honor me but most importantly he is a man of God. I am so thankful to have a husband who prays over me and our family. The last 15 months I have been amazed at how awesome of a Dad he is. I can truly say that he shares half the responsibility of caring for Maddox…there is nothing I do that he can’t do and Maddox adores him! I look so forward to spending the rest of my life with him! ( I know you are going to read this so…..Love You Baby!!)

Having said all that, what better way to spend your anniversary than going to a wedding!! Our friends Melissa and Jordan were married on Saturday and we were happy to be at there ceremony and reception. Joy kept Maddox all evening and then he spent the night with her so Chris and I had lots of time to spend just the two of us! We missed little man but it was so nice having our time!

The Groom, Bride and her cutie pie Harrison

I love my Keleigh, her baby is due in 6 weeks and I’m excited to be helping host her baby shower next weekend….Chris snapped this picture trying to be funny but I actually like the candidness of it!

Me and My handsome man

On Sunday evening…we went to Joy’s house to celebrate Tori’s 7th Birthday. Her birthday was on September 30th but we couldn’t get together until Sunday. Joy made some yummy Taco Salad and we enjoyed some delicious birthday cake.
