The Flower Child Becomes The Flower Girll

Yesterday started off a bit busy with a ballgame bright and early. Eli scored all but one basket for his team, including a three pointer! We are so proud of him.

After the game, we ran to town for a few errands and a quick lunch at Pizza Hut. Then it was back home to get ready for the wedding.

Ellie was all about getting her hair curled and all dolled up. She is such a little prissy-pot, and I love it!

She and I left early for the wedding so that she could be in all the photos and do another practice run in the venue.

She was eating it all up. She loved everything about getting to be a flower-girl.

When it was time to walk down the isle, she did great. However, once she was on stage, she spotted a Sunday School friend, and it was all over. She ran off the stage and straight to her friend. I ended up having to get up and get her, which was so embarrassing.

Me and my forever date. I can't believe we did this eight years ago. PS- if the bride and groom follow in our footsteps, they will be preggers in 8 weeks. Ha! Just sayin'. We were surprised ourselves when we found out.

Of course that little bundle has brought us so much joy. Just look at him now, seven years old and as cute as he can be.

The kids loved dancing and eating cake and just being crazy. After such a great evening, this little lady crashed on the way home...if only she had stayed that way for the night.

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 yard is basically an o
