Fabbbbbulous Weekend

Sam and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary this weekend with an amazing day and night at Barton Creek. Thanks to Jeanne Ann and David for keeping our sweet little lady so we could get away! It was a short trip but every minute was wonderful. It is so funny how you don't really know to appreciate "me time" until you don't really have any. We laid by the pool, drank fruity drinks and ooooh-ed and awwwww-ed over the gorgeous weather and landscaping (wow, getting really old). We went to a fairytale wedding Saturday night, enjoyed a fabulous dinner outside, caught up with old friends and even cut a rug for a bit!!! Sunday morning we slept in (8:15!!!), had a delicious brunch and headed home to scoop up our peanut!! A little date time goes a long way, is so good for the soul and is definitely good for the marriage! I love my hubby dearly! We are thinking an annual weekend at Barton Creek might be the perfect anniversary gift every year! And just because I wanted to relax 100%, I did not take ANY pics!! But here are a few of the rest of the weekend... and of course the cutest part of it :).

Strut your stuff, girl....

Nana and Pops, I LOVE my wagon!!!

Finishing up the deck.... woohoo!!!

OMG!!!! Charlotte hit the jackpot!! Saturday morning was the neighborhood garage sale so we set out in the wagon and went shopping! And look what the lucky duck came home with....a BARBIE JEEP!!!! She is in heaven even though her little legs are years from reaching the pedals. She loves to pretend she is driving just like her "da da da".

As if she wasn't "mini me" enough...

Watching a movie with Daddy

Pool with a view!! Look at that deck, I am so impressed with my hubby's skills!!!

Bike Ride!!

Last weekend we took our first bike ride with Charlotte! Our friend and financial plannner, Jeff, was so sweet to give us his very gently used baby bike trailer. Charlotte loved laughing at mommy riding and Macy running beside her. Not too long after we got to the park the sky turned very dark so we rode back home! We got a little bit of rain but guess who didn't mind playing in it?!!?!

Strapped in with books and a snack!

Off they go!!

Charlotte stands on the sidewalk and waves at Sam the whole time he mows the lawn... sooooo cute.




Wordless Wednesday

My New Year's Resolution was to blog more "everyday moments" instead of just big events. Because that's what life is really all about is a whole bunch of everyday moments, which are usually my favorite memories. So 3 months later, here's a first. It is hard really hard for me to keep my mouth shut but I'm going to try to let the pictures speak for themselves. I'm going to steal my sisters cute title and try to do these every Wednesday.... we'll see!!

What a catch!!



I LOVE this picture! Wyatt Cole is the sweetest little 10 year old boy I know! Charlotte is crazy over him, she has good taste already! He is such a handsome, loving, fun little gentleman and will sure make a lucky little girl very happy someday! We went to the UT golf club for Sam's birthday (I didn't get any pics of the b-day boy, bummer!), but we had a great time. I looked over at one point to check on Charlotte and this is what I saw. So so sweet. I made them reenact it for a pic.

Spring project

Sam and Papaw are building us a deck this spring!! And I am counting the days until we eat all meals outside on it!!!! They pretty much spent the whole spring break working hard and things are moving along! They are about ready to put down the decking, then we will get up the railing, pot some plants, get us a table and be ready to enjoy the summer!! I will keep you posted with pics!

Proud Papa (yes he is working in the arm brace...it is impossible to keep this guy down.)

What a team!

Working hard

And here's what Char's doing while they work...

She takes after her Uncle Vinny in some ways :)

What Mom??

Good day.

Charlotte lucked out last weekend. Mama and Char walked around the Hill Country galleria just to get out of the house for a while. And what do you know, the toystore had a little stroller on the clearance rack for 12 bucks. So we bought it. And she has never stopped playing with it since... she LOVES it. Her kitty is usually the lucky rider but she does give all of her other babies a turn. She looks like such a BIG girl in these pics... more like a toddler than a baby. Time for another, right?!!?!
