Our Weekend

I totally slacked on taking pictures this weekend.  It just seemed like everywhere we turned there was a meltdown from someone (including and exhausted mommy.)  Nonetheless, we did manage to squeeze a few fun things into the chaos. 

For starters, we watched had family movie night on Friday.  Eric picked up Iron Man 3, and to my surprise, I enjoyed it.  I was also shocked that Eli wasn't scared out of his mind. 


I knew the kids would be up early on Saturday, so I saved my episode of Scandal as a treat for being up with the sun.  Then Eric made us a big country breakfast.  We relaxed a bit more before heading to hike at Lost River Cave.  They have a Scarecrow Trail, and Eric's work won.  

We ran a few errands and went to Nats and Target before picking up a pizza to enjoy at home while we watched UK get slaughtered by Alabama.  Oh well, still love the Cats!


Today we got a picture as we were rushing out to church.  The kids had a rough night and were up early on top of it, so Eric watched them this afternoon while I napped.  I was going to make a roast for dinner but hit the wrong button the crock pot, so Eric and I cooked healthy enchiladas...yum!!

The kids are exhausted, so we're winding down and hoping for an early bedtime.

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

Mother's Day Memories

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.  I want to start by saying that my heart and prayers go out to the "Mommies in Waiting" and to those who are missing their Momma on this special day.  You are not forgotten. We started Mother's Day at church with our crew, and we were lucky enough to be in the nursery.  We let Eli tag along, and he helped facility "Derby Races" around the table while the kids were on riding toys.  It was a hoot!  We also made cards for the mommies. We had some leftovers at home for lunch and then I spent some time laying out while Eric worked on the pool.  It was almost 90 degrees and the perfect way to relax on my special day! Eric made me a shrimp boil for dinner, and we took a family trip to Dairy Queen.  They also have presents coming later this week for me.  Basically, they are awesome!

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
