Weekend Recap!

We had a very full weekend! I wasn't planning on it being this busy but it was and that was ok!

Friday night we took some cupcakes to my sister in laws birthday party, I didn't stay at the party,I'm not sure what is wrong with me these days but I just want to be with Brent and Lucas all the time. I rarely do anything besides come to work with out one of them and I just have no desire to do anything that doesn't involve one or both of them. I used to be such the social butterfly but this season of my life there isn't much room for that and that is ok!

After we dropped the cupcakes off we went to Kohl's and went to eat at Fridays, we both ate really well! I am so proud of us for eating good at a restraunt, I can honestly say it's getting easier and I often don't even miss my old ways of eating. After we left Fridays we went over to Brent's Mamaw's old house and went though some pictures and things. We stayed there until around 11:30.

Saturday morning mom and I went to do some yard sale-ing! It was my town "City Wide Yard Sale" day so we got out early and found some treasures!

I got this old school desk, chair, and glob for $7!

I started taking the fabric off yesterday and under it the wood is in great shape! What an amazing find! Lucas will love this and what a great little home-work station when the time comes!

After yard-saleing we went to McDonalds for Happy Meals, Ronald was there for all the kids to see and Lucas really liked him! I was surprised!

Saturday afternoon I went to my friend and co-worker's wedding and reception. It was really pretty! Congratulations James and Ally!

Loved the baby's breath in mason jars!

When I got home from the wedding we headed to eat with Brent's parents, uncle, and my mom.

We ate at the sizzler, then Lucas went on to Mamaw's with Nana and Papaw and Brent and I went to run a few errands. We went back to Mamaws and ended up going through more pictures and stuff! Lots and lots of pictures!

I texted this picture to Desiree, my coupon partner. My little "stock pile" it's even grown more since this was taken! I am pretty proud!

I am really learning about this couponing way of life, no I am not getting things for free or for pennies but I am getting what we do use at a fraction of the price it would usually cost me. It does take extra time and I do have to be willing to hit up more stores than just Wal-Mart but it works! And I am loving this new found hobby of mine :)

Yesterday we had planned on taking Lucas to the zoo but that didn't happen after 2 late nights we just decided to stay home and sleep in. So we did! It rained anyways so I didn't feel like we missed out.

One thing we did do is put new lights on the front of our house! I've been wanting to do this forever and with my bingo ladies coming next month that was just the excuse I needed!

So much better! I am really looking forward to getting all my fall decor put up real soon too!

Fun fun weekend with my boys!

Baby Shower Weekend!

Well it finally has come and gone! The baby shower that I have been planning for months now! I have been so excited and had lots of fun putting it together. I hope Desiree enjoyed and I cannot wait to meet little Eviee!!

Friday before the shower I had a bunch of errands to run to gather all the food and some last minute items. I went to Target to find a cardi to go over the dress I was going to wear and ran into these pants! I have been dying for some linen pants and these were perfect! (Love my little Chloe in the background :)

I got a few things to spruce up my living room. Thrifty Decor Chick talked about these beauties last week and I had to have one!

I bought this chair slip cover at Pier1, I loved the pattern but didn't want to buy their expensive chair to put it on, I remembered I had this goodwill chair in my craft room that I painted last summer, added a pillow to the seat and put the slip on! Now she looks gorgeous ;)

Chloe got her summer hair cut on Friday as well. She looks so funny without her long hair, but it's almost hitting 100 here so I know she doesn't mind looking a little funny! Ha!

Friday evening one of Brent's very best friends got married! This is what I wore, also from Target! Score!

Brent and I at the wedding!

The wedding was so pretty! Simple and so much fun! I had a great time, all Brent's old buddies and their wives/dates sat at the same table, I have never got to hang out with them before and it was alot of fun! Looking forward to some get together's soon!

Lucas loved that the wedding was outside!

Bride and Groom stomping the glass!

I hope for many years of happiness for these two!

Next up a TON of shower photos!!

Opening gifts! I think Lucas thought it was his birthday! Ha!

A few of the gifts I got her.

Favors.


Flower I made for the mommy to be to wear during the shower.

Saturday after the shower I went a jewelry party at Jessica's! She is the best hostess! I know she doesn't think she is but she should have people over all the time! Her food table was beautiful I'm so mad at myself for not taking pictures! The party was alot of fun! And I cannot wait for my necklace to come in!

Saturday when I got home Lucas was napping so Brent and I decided to take a nap while we could, we didn't get up until 6pm! I love getting a nap every once in awhile.

Brent 's parent's and uncles came over for late evening cook out. And Brent's cousin Sara and her boys came over for a little bit too. Lucas absolutely loves his cousins Noah and Christian. He had to show them all kinds of stuff, poor boys!

Sunday we got up late and went and ate at Marketplace and ran around town for a bit before coming home. We lounged around the house until the sun went down then went outside and did alittle yard work.

Lucas and I pulling weeds and watering.

I am also proud to announce that Lucas can now ride his power wheels without any help!! He is getting so big! Sometimes I look at him and he looks like a kid! Not a toddler or baby at all! I miss having a baby.....

And that's it!

Hope everyone had a fun weekend!
