Day 56

Saturday, July 21st

I thought it would be a fabulous Idea to get some little things together for a time capsule...

I want to bury it while I have all my babies and Sean here, an then dig it up in 10 years...

So far we have air soft pellets, Nerf glasses, a doll chair, a written story and football key chain.

I still need a picture printed of the 5 of them... I can't wait until 2022, when we are looking back at these tiny things that meant so much when my babies were still babies.

Day 55

Friday, July 20th

Today was so much fun!

We watched the kids ride scooters out front, and had pillow case races...

Eric, the kids, and I went to the Park for a picnic. We ate Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Pringles, and Capri Suns.

In the summer, Wilson Park has Dive-In Movies at the city pool.

We waited until right before the sun went down and swam. The movie they played on the projector was "Up".

Day 54

Thursday, July 19th


I love the new shift  I am on at work now 9am-3:30pm. I have all evening with my family.

Today we took the kids to get snow cones at Shave the Plant.


*Aleigh got Wild Strawberry
*Sean & Landon got Black Cherry
*Aubree got Blue Bubble gum
*Kharter got Banana
*Eric got the Flag (minus the vanilla, substitute with Lemon Lime)


 Afterwards, we went to My favorite Park, that is fully shaded and played for about an hour!

Day 53


Wednesday July 18th


Marnay, one of my sitters, Brought us a cake today that she made- NO BOX CAKE- this was the real deal. 


It was so delicious, I couldn't stop eating it!! 


Marnay is also planning mine and Eric's entire wedding ceremony. We didn't have one back in 2010 when we were legally married. I have been looking forward to it!


I really wanna spill some details, but I wont! It will be a surprise! Just know, with Marnay handling things, it going to be fabulous! 


The kids watched Mr Popper's Penguins. Loved it! =)

Day 52

Tuesday July 17th


Some days are just simply -Chill- Days. Eric took all the kids and jogged around the block while they rode their scooters. I caught up on some laundry, and relaxed.


Its always nice when Daddy does something with the kids and gives mommy some "Me Time" 


I am pretty spoiled to say the least, I'm used to breakfast in bed, and a delicious dinner every night... 


Thanks, Eric. We love you!

Day 51

Monday, July 16th


So, Since Santa got all the kids a scooter for Christmas- we like to go to the bike trail, here in Fayetteville. 


It is beautiful, and it wraps around the entire city, there are ponds and creeks, beautiful landscaping, just a breath of fresh air, and it wears the kids out. lol.


After our walk, we usually go down to the creek to "see" the water. However, being with out rain for a few months, the creek is completely dried up. Nevertheless, the kids loved it- and were fascinated to see what it looks like under the water! 


We had a great time, and a good workout!

Day 50


Monday, July 16th


You remember those days when you could go outside and play for hours, and didn't even want to come in when dinner was ready, right? 
Just isn't the same nowadays...


I know, we used to go down to the creek all day until it started getting dark outside. Or, Ride our bikes for hours without checking in... 


Well, I, just today, let my babies all play in the front yard... I know!! I'm livin' on the edge...


Sometimes I just find it hard to let go. I know they are "big kids" now. I know they can take their own crust off of their sandwiches, make their own drinks, sleep with out night lights... but, I have the right to want to hold on....


Now we are off to the walking trail to let the kids ride some more! 

Day 49


Sunday, July 15th


I just love the drive down I540. 


Especially on a Beautiful day! 


Eric and I went to pick up Aleigh, Landon and Sean in Mulberry. We went home, put on our swim clothes, picked up a few noodles and water blasters and headed to the lake for the evening.


They had a blast! 


We had a picnic (Peanut Butter and Jelly with Pringles).


Shortly after we got back home, Aubree and Kharter came home! They were all so excited to see each other, they were hugging for 10 minutes!


Needless to say, my house is full of kids, and chaotic now... 


But, I wouldn't have it any other way! =)

Days 39-48 


Saturday, July 14th

Days are going by so fast... Especially since my babies have been away from home...


We have had some good times, though. Friends have visited. Eric caught up with a group of old friends. We listened to them play guitar, had some amazing food, and heard some unbelievably funny stories!

Eric and I had some "Us" time. which was totally nice.


We went to the Mexican Grocery Store today for the first time. Got some amazing Pork, and Chicken! Awesome experience!


Now, we are working on a project I got from Pinterest...



And this is all you get to see................. for now. =)

Day 36

Monday, July 2nd

Coming home from the lake and going straight to work was not a good time.

Work was slow, and my babies are at their daddy's. So, Eric and I are enjoying some piece and quite.

We have been giving Bellah some extra attention.

Because of the burn band, there will not be a fire work show this year, kind of stinks.

We are also making some pretty big changes in our lives. In five years from now, we will be living a lot different than we are now. I couldn't have asked for a better partner, and have never been happier! [=

Days 32-35

Thursday June 28th- Sunday July 1st!

These days all blurred together. We spent the entire weekend at the Lake house at Beaver Lake.

It was Marnay's birthday, and we spent the majority of the time on the boat, tubing, and just having a blast.

Marnay's guest book includes:
Michael
Chire
Memaw
Papa
Kenna
Gina
Jody
Joe
Eric
Khelli
Megan
Derek
Aubree
Kharter

Here is a glimpse at what we were up to!

Day 31

Wednesday, June 27th


I love to try things I find on Pinterest...


Today I made a Hash brown Casserole for dinner, and it turned out quite amazing.


I have been itching to read a book lately, and I have quite the selection. My Nan left behind around a hundred books, all marked inside the front cover of the year she read it! 


I also found this amazing website for the kids to read ebooks. When the story is over, they get to play two activities that relate to what they just read. Totally cool.


Happy Reading!

Day 30

Tuesday, June 26


Aubree and I made dinner together.


Another memory to add to the books! 


It was so cute watching her dip the chicken into the flour. She wound up with it all over her dress, hands, and  nose... 


Dinner was a success!

Day 28

Sunday, June 24


I spent my morning with a dear friend relearning coupon techniques! Clipping, planning and learning new ways to organize. Very productive visit =)


It is always refreshing to have a wonderful service in church.


If only my day started so pure everyday. 


My babies loved Sunday school as well. They had so many things to share with me afterwards....


When church let out, Eric made the kids lunch and put them down for a nap while I went grocery shopping for the week. (One of my favorite, most relaxing things to do!) Full price, The items I bought would have cost me $44. Instead, I paid $12!! Really encouraged me! 

Now, to finish getting ready for my week!!


Happy Sunday!

Day 27


Saturday, June 23


I Love Days at the lake!! 


We went to Lake Weddington, and spent the entire day cooking out, swimming and playing horse shoes with some of our favorite people. 


Aubree taught herself how to "go under" the water. She did it so many times, she was comfortable with being  thrown, or jumping into the water =)


Shortly after, Kharter decided he would try! He succeeded as well! 


My loves are officially Water Babies. Next step is learning to SWIM!
