Weekend Wrap-Up: The Memorial Day Weekend Edition!

Hi all!  Happy Memorial Day!  I have a helper with my blog today- Maya is standing over my shoulder helping me write about our weekend.

Here goes! On Saturday morning I enjoyed the sunshine during my morning run.  

Maya: Maya cleaned her room (and mom's car) and got new shoes (and a new swimsuit!).

Maya: We went to hike with Boom and played on a park.

Maya: We went to Mitchell and Isla's house and had dinner and played and watched Isla on her walker...

...and had BIG COOKIES! There was a MONSTER COOKIE, and chocolate chip cookie and caramel something else cookie!

Maya: Then we did tie-dye and played a little bit in the backyard.

On Sunday morning I went for a pretty (cloudy) run.

Maya: We met Boom and had Dairy Queen before I went to my SLEEPOVER!

While Maya was at her sleepover, Callie got a hair cut, mowed the lawn, and Luna looked cute through the porch door.

Then Callie tested out the new slip-n-slide and we watched a movie!



Maya: At Boom's house, we did FOUR art projects and Boom bought me bars and I ate three of them.

Maya: Then in the afternoon when Lucy and Mila came over, we had a slip-n-slide/pool deck dinner!

Maya: We took a picture and each time Lucy got in the car, Mila would cry.

Maya: We were playing at the park and we went down a water slide.  And Mila was in the play house with me!

Maya: It was fun.

Have a great week!

A Picture Update

Hi all. It has been a long week. The end of this school year is feeling a bit relentless. But we have 8 days left. We’ll make it. 

Not too many pics this week…

Today was so beautiful, so the girls enjoyed some sprinkler time (finally) and a little bball.

It’s a long weekend so I’ll be back on Monday for the wrap-up. Have a good one!

Timehop Tuesday

I got home and heard the horrible news out of Texas. As a teacher and a mom of kids in public school, I just can’t imagine. So I’m just working on gratitude for the sunshine and enjoying time with these two crazy creatures who I get the privilege of raising.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey everybody!  We had a nice weekend, but I didn't get too many pictures!  Yesterday morning I had a nice run and our lilacs have finally bloomed.

Chris and I had 2 40th birthday parties to go to- one was my friend Adrea's!  And I finally got to meet her sweet baby Hattie.

They girls had fun with Boom- including Punch Pizza!

This morning Callie did some mowing and Maya had her last gymnastics class until July.

Friends came over for a deck dinner!  And as you can see, we are getting work done on our back yard.  It will be awesome when it is done!

Have a great week.

A Picture Update

Happy Friday Y'all!  We had a chill week enjoying the beautiful weather.  And the girls got new Crocs for the summer!

Maya and her BFF participated in the Science Fair and were one of the top 5 projects in 3rd grade!

And this afternoon Maya and Luna set up some office space in our trunk.  For doing who knows what?!

Have a good weekend!

Timehop Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! Today I’m taking the opportunity to put my children in blast for never smiling nicely in my pictures any more (or VERY rarely).

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday! It was a beautiful weekend here. We did the best we could to enjoy the sunshine and glorious temperatures. On Saturday morning I caught some sunrays during my run. 

While Cal was at dance, Maya and I walked to the library. 

We are getting our backyard finished up by professionals this month, so Luna enjoyed watching him out the window. Then we enjoyed outside time.


And we had our first DECK DINNER of the season!!!!!!!!! There was also some crazy yard games and softball. 

This morning our front tree was finally in full bloom and the girls enjoyed playing together doing “photo shoots” that apparently included cartwheels.

While Maya was at gymnastics, Cal and I walked to the library and then enjoyed some porch reading time.

Tonight we went to see the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” musical at Children’s Theater. It was a riot! Only Maya and I got a picture because Chris and Cal decided to go get candy instead. 

Have a great week!

A Picture Update

Hi all! Happy Lovely Friday!  

Here are the pics from the week (there aren’t too many):

There was a beautiful 6:30am sky earlier this week.

And then some severe weather on Wednesday night where we had to spend some time in the basement after bedtime but also watched it a bit (after the sirens turned off)!

Callie had a theater cast party at school where they watched the video of their Spongebob show and awards were given out. She won an award for Best Ensemble with her fellow sardines! And Maya and I enjoyed time on the deck. 

Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Pa!

Yay it’s Pa’s birthday today!

Glad we could celebrate with a cool treat on this 90 degree day (even though one of us was very distracted by melting ice cream)!

Happy Birthday Papa!!

It’s Papa’s birthday today! We hope you have an amazing day. Here’s a throwback of Papa with both of our babies. 

Timehop Tuesday

A Mother’s Day timehop. The girls have just gotten so big the past couple of years! It is so crazy!

Also it would be a TOUGH SELL to get them to match with me these days!

Weekend Wrap-Up: Happy Mother’s Day!

Somehow it is Sunday night already! 

First up…HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the wonderful women in our world. We are so lucky to be surrounded by amazing ladies. ❤️

Yesterday was a lovely, sunny, very chill day. Circumstances allowed me to have a few hours at home alone, so I started one of my new birthday puzzles and sat out on the porch! And those were the only pictures I got. 

This morning Maya brought in a toasted bagel she made for me all by herself. After my yoga and a treadmill run, I enjoyed my breakfast and tried to get the girls to take a couch picture…

We headed over to Boom’s for Mother’s Day brunch with her and Great Margie! Maya took our picture, and also managed to get a pic of our legs too…ha! On the way home we saw a few different dinosaurs on lawns. 

This afternoon we headed over for Mother’s Day dinner at Uncle Dan and Auntie Hanna’s with the whole crew!

And chaos ensued, as per usual! 


All in all it was a lovely, busy day. And the girls cooperated for ONE picture outside.

Have a great week!
