Birthday Party Weekend!

Saturday we went to Carter's 3rd birthday party and it was great!! They rented out the church gym which has basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, big yoga balls, a game room, and a party room! They also had a bounce around for the kids! Lucas and Brent had a lot of fun playing basketball!

I have never seen Brent play basketball like that it before it was fun!

Lucas had to "shoot it" a few times!

Monster truck volcano cake that Liz and her mom and sister made! They did such a good job!

yummy home made cupcakes!

We had a lot of fun and went home after getting some dinner for the night the boys were exhausted! ha!

I am so glad I have been able to get to know Carter and his family, they are so sweet.





Sunday I got up and went to mom's house to clean out my new to me dresser and get it loaded up!

I found these crayons inside it, my Mema was notorious for hiding stuff from us kids! I have been helping mom go though some of her things for a few weekends now and I am always finding old toys and things. She was always so worried we would write on the walls with crayons, markers, and paint and always afraid we would break something with bats, balls, and other stuff. It's so funny now that I think about it.
Needless to say I kept the crayons :)

Sunday night Ethan and his family came over for dinner! We cooked cheese burgers on the grill it was a lot of fun! The boys definitely had a blast!

Lucas all snuggled in Monday before I had to wake him up for school, I just had to take a picture of this bedhead!

He is so sweet and in the evenings when I'm watching t.v. and he is ready for bed he will say "Mommy I wanna snuggle" it melts my heart! He is so rambunctious and "all boy" doing crazy stuff during the day but he loves us so much and is so sweet at night. I tell him " Your so sweet Lucas" and he tells me back "Your so sweet Mommy" ah I die!

And!

This isn't necessarily weekend stuff but yesterday Lucas, Chloe, and I were outside playing in the yard, we haven't really had a chance to play outside lately with 110+ heat but I decided you know what we are not going to watch t.v. this afternoon. And what do you know, Chloe found ANOTHER snake! I couldn't believe it! I was on the phone with Cox about our new DVR (whoop whoop!) and I tell Lucas to gather his cars we are going inside, of course he didn't want to so I had to put my "do what I tell you right now mommy face on" I yell at Chloe to get in the house and get the Cox lady off the phone (mind you she was trying to sell me something else, why do they do that!?). We all get up the deck and by the door and a bee starts attacking us!! Now I know to most people this sounds crazy but I am way more scared of bees and stinging bugs than I'll ever be afraid of a snake so at this point I loose it! I am almost in tears and now Lucas is upset. But I get Chloe to stop snapping at the bee and we all get in the house (without Luke's cars)! I tell Lucas we are not going out there anymore until fall! He said "Ok" in his little scared voice, ha!



After all that I send my friend this text. Ha! I guess we are going to have a few more t.v. days ahead of us because it so hot here and I can deal with the heat but I can't deal with critters AND the heat!

Tonight I have my board meeting that I love to go to and Lucas is going over to his mema's so they will have a lot of fun :)

Have a great week everyone!

A snake, a baby, and 2 parties!

I know crazy title!!

So Thursday evening about 7 I walked out into my kitchen and noticed Chip the cat was playing with something in the bottom of my curtains, I didn't think much of it until I saw it slither out! A snake! O my word I didn't know what to do! I think for a full minute I just stood there watching it, I watched it until it went under my oven! Then I thought O gosh where's Lucas! I picked him up and thought " How am I going to get Lucas and Chloe the dog to the car when all I have on is a t-shirt"! Ha that's pretty funny that my first thought was to get to the car and go to mom's house, mind you Brent was out of town (of course) I went to grab my phone to call mom and tell her we were on our way but my phone was over next to the oven! I was so freaked out at this point I put Lucas on the couch and ran as fast as I could to grab it and get back over to Lucas! I called mom, no answer, so I called Brent and he said to call his dad to come over and take care of it " O duh! Why didn't I think of that" So I called my father in law ( who always is the one to have to take care of my unwanted critters while Brent is away) and he came over and we looked and looked and looked. Pulled out the oven, turned it on, looked in the cabinets, looked everywhere we could think of and nothing.

But Brent got home Friday night and him and a guy from work tore the kitchen and garage and found this little guy! He wasn't harmful but we didn't want him in the house! Eric took him and let him go somewhere on his way home. Thank you Eric!!

I am so glad that is over!

Saturday morning I got to go see this little cutie!

Eviee Rae was born Thursday evening weighing 6 lbs 10 oz

She was so sweet I held her for an hour! New babies are the best!

Thursday I got all the Thirty-One stuff in! I loved all my stuff so I had to share :)

Birdy bag with 30 cards, manicure case, compact mirror, and thermal flat iron case.

Brent's thermal lunch bag.

Laundry Bag

Huge tote!

Cosmetic bag that also doubles as a Bible case.

I love this bag! I originally got it for cleaning supplies but decided to take it to the race track on Saturday and it was great! It held all our 'dry' snacks and changes of clothes. All the pockets on the side are so great! I can see this bag being used for all kinds of events! Not sure if you can read it or not but in white it says "Super Mom"

I got all that stuff for a little less than $50!

Friday evening one of the play group girls had a Pampered Chef party! It was so so fun! I am really loving those girls and can't wait to see them again.

I got.....

The trifle bowl, that middle comes out and can be used as a stand to make it a more fancy bowl! So cute!

Quick Stir Pitcher, whatever you are making can be stirred up in the pitcher without using a spoon!

And there was a special spend $60 and you get this collapsible bowl free! Awesome!

I can't wait to get this stuff in! Thanks Stephanie!
