Weekend Recap

Ya'll, after the craziness of the last few weeks, we needed a nice relaxing weekend.  And that's exactly what we got.  Friday night is almost always Pizza and Family Movie Night.  We enjoyed the pizza, but the kids wanted to swim in the dark instead…so we did. 


Saturday we had our first tournament game, and we lost.  Worry not.  We are still in the losers bracket, and the boys weren't too torn up. Actually, they weren't upset at all. Ha!  Saturday afternoon it was about a million degrees, so we were thrilled to enjoy the afternoon at a "swim party."


Saturday evening we were zapped from the sun, so we ate dinner, bathed the children, and settled in for Family Movie Night.  We watched Casper.  Ellie conked out, but Eli hung in there until the bitter end.  After he went to bed, Eric and I watched Eddie The Eagle.  It's a British movie about a famous ski jumper from England.  It was actually really good! 


This morning was church, and the kids were beyond thrilled that Brett brought a baby rabbit. Ha! After church we decided on a whim to eat Mexican, and it was amazing!  We didn't even have one single spill. 


Back at home we went straight to the pool where we stayed all afternoon.  Seriously, we were outside all day long.  It was wonderful!


We grilled out for dinner, and now we are busy settling in for the night.  Eli starts summer camp tomorrow, so I can't wait to see how he likes it.

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

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

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 yard is basically an o
