Twenty Eight

I wish I had more insightful things to say about what I have planned for 28.

I would like to think this is the year I get me back.

Exercise.

Mind.

Health.

Home.

A little at a time we have continued to simplify the clutter and "noise" in our home.

There is still alot to be done and more ground to cover than I anticipated but I am glad we are moving in the right direction.

Living more intentionally.

And investing in those around us who take the time to also invest in us.

I made a resolution to whenever someone is on my mind to text that person. 

I am so glad I have!

Dear friendships have picked up right where they were left off, ones I didn't realize how much I missed until now and I could not be more thankful to have these awesome friends beside us, just doing life!

So, twenty eight.... her is to making the end of the 20's all you hoped it would be.

Making up for lost time... and truly living each day to the fullest.

Yesterday was me day... I spent it making shorts, and monogramming, and stopping to change barbie's clothes, eat a cupcake with friends, change diapers, let the dogs in and out, wait for the mail, and do some laundry.

Pretty mundane, but quite honestly... I was with my family and living the life I only dreamed of a few short years ago. 

That to me makes it pretty awesome!

Big Girl Turns FIVE!!

I can not fully put into words how hard it is for me to believe my sweet angel is five years old!

She asked a while back to have a monster bash, AFTER we did a HUGE blow out at the American Girl Doll store in Atlanta this summer.

So a small monster bash we had. 

Basically I bought some pom poms and googly eyes on sale at target, 

made a huge jar of bubble and home made bubble wands and we rolled with it!

We rented a bounce and the main action was on our little swingset! So funny!

                        

 

We set up a backdrop for the kids to take pictures with the silly monster smiles. 

This was a digital pritable I purchased. 

If you are interested in something like this I can gladly look up where I found them!

She looks like such a goober here! haha

The food table was simple simple!

My husband ran by our local Malco movie theater and for 20.00 got a trashbag size bag FULL of movie theater popcorn!!

Who knew they did that???

So cupcakes, popcorn, grapes and some marshmallows and we were in business!

For the first time ever paw paw was able to come to our party and the kids could NOT be happier!

C bug is copying mommy big time! We all got a good laugh out of this picture!

She was all about the 5 sparkler until we lit it!

look at the uneasiness in her face!

We bounced, we swang, we ate popcorn and the momma's and daddy's just sat back and talked! 

Here is Ashlynn loving on my sweet Whit!

How is he 4 months old already??? I want Time to STOP!!!

How cute are these cupcake toppers??

Found them at home goods!

(the plan is... before december to do a full tour of the house. I have been SOOOO BUSY sewing and have not had a chance to blog, like... AT ALL)  

Happy Fifth Birthday Sweet Girl!!!

Another One in the Books

Well, it seems another birthday came and went.

My sweet family treated me like a queen.

27 was thankfully quite uneventful!

We enjoyed an afternoon of my craving I can't get enough of.... Hamburgers.

(Ps, never eat them!!)

Some of my favorite cookies!

And a leisurely afternoon shopping with my husband while babies napped at my parents!

Now I am in a panic realizing I am almost at countdown point for our next bundle!!!

Let the list making commence!
