Our Date Weekend

Eric and I have enjoyed the most wonderful weekend together.  I met my parents in E-town on Thursday with the kids, and of course they we're all excited (grandparents and kids alike), then I came home and vegged out with my hubby.  It was wonderful being able to go to bed when we wanted and watch non-cartoon shows on TV.  Ha!  It's the small things!


Friday after work I took my sweet time getting off of work.  Then I ran some errands, stopped by Goodwill and picked Eric up from work.  We toured the St. Jude Dream Home, which is something we would not have braved with the kids.  Afterwards we picked up some BBQ for dinner.  We spent the rest of the night outside on the back porch relaxing around the fire pit. 


It was heavenly getting to sleep in yesterday morning.  We weren't in a rush to eat breakfast or get anywhere.  We almost missed the UK v. Louisville Game, but we ended up watching it before heading to the Bluegrass Festival.  That's where I ate the best Hot Dog of my life...YUM!!


I may or may not have also consumed a red velvet funnel cake, chips, and cookies.  I kinda wrecked the diet, but when you sit through an all day concert you kinda get bored.  Plus it was wonderful spending quality time with my hubby. 


We had VIP tickets, so Eric was able to meet the members of The Grascals following the concert, and of course, he was on cloud nine.  They are really super nice people, and I enjoyed their music. 

After the little meet and greet we stopped by a Mexican Restaurant for dinner then came home to watch a movie and relax some more.  


We had evey intention of going to church this morning, but we slept too late.  That's ok, it meant we were able to pick up the kids.  It sure was nice having alone time with my hubby and catching up on rest wasn't too bad either!  I sure did miss my babies though!

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...
