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!!

Chip on snake patrol on Friday!

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!

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!!

Banner I made.

Rag garland I made!

Food table with cupcakes! The cupcakes were delicious, Jessica's aunt made them!

The book is the guest book I had everyone write something to Eviee.

Yard Sign.

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!
