Weekend Recap


We had a great weekend doing a bunch of nothing, and sometimes that's just what you need!  I woke up early with the kids on Saturday, and spent some time planning for a future trip.  I don't want to talk too much about it now, but I know it will be "magical."  ;)


While I was working on the details, Eli played Monster Trucks and watched TV.  When Eric got up we played around the house before running to a greenhouse down the road for plants.  We grabbed lunch at McDonald's, ran a few errands, and cooked a country breakfast for dinner.  


This morning we went to church.  I wish taking pictures of everyone dressed up was as easy as actually getting them dressed. My goodness, it never works out!  Eli hates taking pictures and Eric hates making them with the camera. What you're seeing is the best I can get. 


I have to remind myself that it's not about having perfect pictures, it's about documenting our life, and right now this pretty much sums it all up...CRAZY!!


We came home for a quick lunch after church, then I had to head back for a baby shower.  We're about to have another beautiful girl in the nursery!  I can't wait for Ellie to have a new friend. 


As you can see, the ladies did an amazing job on the decorations!  It really was an amazing shower, and it reminded me of how blessed we are to have such a loving and giving church family.  It also reminded me that I have yet to blog about the shower they threw for Ellie back in January..oops!  I'll get on that!



After the shower I headed home and we worked around the yard while Eli played in the sprinkler and Ellie rocked in the swing.  Both kids were super tired, and I couldn't get anything done.  I gave up, served Roman Noodles for supper, bathed the kids and had them in bed by nine.  I'd say that was the best part of the whole weekend!

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...

Sunday Funday

Ellie redeemed herself last night by sleeping EIGHT STRAIGHT HOURS!!  Ya'll, we are so blessed to have a good sleeper, and Eli is doing great too!  There are no word to express our gratitude. I try to get pictures on Sundays before church because it's pretty much the only day that we all look presentable, at least at the same time.  Some days I still have on work clothes and look ok, but the kids are in sweats from daycare, or they're looking super cute and I'm in gym clothes.  Please tell me you understand this! At church today, a friend's son gave Eli two brand new pair of baseball pants.  Brett plays ball for a local high school, and Eli thinks he hung the moon.  You can imagine how excited he was to sport his new pants.  As soon as we got home, Eli had change into them and a baseball shirt...love his heart! Eric let me take a little nap, and when I woke up we decided to let Eli swim in the kiddie pool since it's about a ba...
