Eric's Birthday

Considering it is Friday and in a few days I'll be posting new pictures from this weekend, I thought it was time to show you what we did for Eric's Birthday...last weekend.
(This picture is of no significance, I just love Eli's being silly.)

Thursday night we went out to eat at Ruby Tuesdays. I was running around like a mad lady trying to get all of Eric's gifts and by the time dinner came I was too exhausted to take pictures. Plus, Eli fell in the booth and got a nasty bruise, so much of our dinner was spent soothing him. In fact, Eric took him to the car as soon as we were finished so that I could pay.

(Please note the before and after photos of Eli trying to get the cake.
Before= happy. After= "I'm mad so I'm not smiling)

Anyway, Friday night we headed to Marion to be with Eric's parents. We went straight to Colby's ballgame. It was way too cold for my sweet boy to be out, so Eric's mom and I went home to get Eli ready for bed. When the boys got back, we had a quick family celebration.


Saturday morning we headed to another Ball Game and then dinner. It was nice being able to enjoy the beautiful spring weather, and I'm pretty sure Eli had a blast being to center of attention...ha!!

Sunday we slept in and spent the rest of the day riding four-wheeler and playing outside. It's always so refreshing and relaxing to spent time in Western Kentucky. All in all, it was a wonderful weekend to celebrate my husbands 27 years of life.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports?  Ha!  I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested.   The thing is, he doesn't discriminate.  Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube.   We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats,"  John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers,  "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops!  That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break?  Not this boy! I never thought ...

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...
