Last week I was a little pre occupied making sure I got my weekend shoot done before we were FINALLY getting some rain! I mean, it was a hurricane, but hey, I'll take what I can get. Spoiler: I got the session done and we got some rain and wind but nothing bad. At all.

I'm thinking I may need to be done blogging for awhile. I know that nobody reads this but I like having the record although at this point with my instagram it is very redundant. We'll see what happens. Work is about to take over so I don't think I will have much of a choice.

It was "tailgating" Sunday at church so the kids were all matchy matchy in their Baylor gear. I LOVE this picture so much. Jonathan had to be included because Barrett is LItERALLY glue to him always and Penny would not leave them alone. They're my people and they're so cute.

Random weekly happenings. Just quick phone snaps.

Barrett and I were gearing up for raining day school pickup. It's a lot but it happens.

Before the hurricane Georgia and I saw this. She pointed out that it was a rainbow behind a cross (on the steeple) she told me it was God's promise and she knew the storm wouldn't be bad. Smart girl. She was right.

Milam watching, "Spirit" gets intense. He's sensitive.

Family photo outfits have been picked out!

A lazy hurricane morning. They're nice when they aren't stressful.

This weekend Milam had his first birthday party with friends (not just a family party) and it was a lot of fun seeing him playing with his little friends.

The other day my kids looked so cute. Accidental matching. I promise. And this is the best pic I got. Little stinker!

My friend and I are 35 and booked our first mammograms together. We have the same doctor and she recommends getting one at 35 as a base line and if that is normal then to start getting them yearly at 40. Ours both came back normal (praise!) so we won't need another for five years. It was so easy, painless (I promise), and they even let us do our billing together. It was actually a fun little afternoon.

After the hurricane I told the kids that whoever had the best attitude while doing yard clean up (picking up branches too big for the lawn mower) could pick an after dinner treat. Georgia won and she picked Starbucks.

Milam: I'm going to lay here so I can see Jesus.

Car line issues

Still obsessed with THIS polish. This is my latest color I rewarded myself with after redoing the grout.

Our boys

I bought this amazing chair at a garage sale for $15 I think. I had been looking for an amazing cushion and also a prop for some fall photos. I cannot believe I found the perfect cushion (size and color!) for only $13 at Ross. YAY!

I also got this sign for $10

We celebrated my mom's birthday. I had the kids wear green because she loves green. Barrett insisted on the hat.

We skipped church this Sunday because I had a nagging cough and didn't want the side eye from anyone. Georgia and my niece had a nana sleepover so they went to church with her and then she dropped them with us for lunch. They're getting so big. They are one year, one month, and one day apart. So funny.

Here's to a new week. I don't know if I'll still be posting somewhat regularly. We'll see.

Our Weekend

Currently:

I'm blogging and drinking Chamomile from my favorite mug that was my grandmothers. Jonathan is in the dining room working while G is organizing her bracelet supplies in her room. Milam is having quiet time in his room while Barrett gets in a nap in his room. This peaceful time of day is one of my favorites.

Here is what we were up to this week.

These boys are VERY much into dirt. So much dirt all the time. I'm having to clean them off before naps and then again before school pick up for Georgia. Just a lot of dirt and sweat. There is so much dirt here from where the new gas line got put in and these two are really hindering the grass growing process.

Obviously didn't clean him off as well as I should have before waiting for sister after school

Barrett is also in a funny/cuddly stage. He imitates everything we do and is just so cute. After I uploaded ALL of these adorable Barrett photos I realized I probably should have made a collage or something because it's a bit much but he's just so dang cute. (Besides that he's napping horribly, not wanting to eat hardly at all, and woke up three times last night in one hour - I'm thinking 2 year molars - so luckily, he's cute)

The boys had use a push toy to play with all morning before I realized that it had left scuff marks all over the wood floors.  Barrett heard me complaining a bit about it and he went and got a towel and tried to wipe them off. Such a sweet boy. He tried so hard.

Watching Uncle Austin in the driveway. I adore his sweet face.

Super helpful to dada at work. 

Our mornings are so slow now that Georgia's school doesn't start until 9. These next two photos are perfect examples of our slower roll these days. So nice.

Milam gets so intense while he's watching TV. It kills us. So dang funny. My mom is the same way and we've always laughed about it.

How much longer will Milam want to hold my hand while we watch movies?! Don't answer that. He's just the sweetest...when he wants to be.

Camera selfies at the grocery store.

These two went out to dinner and they looked so super cute. Loved their little green/gray color scheme they had going.

Jonathan is an amazing cook. We both enjoying eating healthy but I'm not a huge fan of salads. I do eat them but they're never my first choice...or second or third. He comes up with the best recipes. This is just roasted sausage, sweet potatoes, and brussels sprouts. I sautéed some spinach (with olive oil, garlic, and soy sauce). It is so good and so filling.

A beautiful partly sunny day and a tiny sliver of a rainbow.

We bought the kids THESE skateboard mounts and we love them. They look so great and are so easy for the kids to use. Now that's two less rolling around in our house/garage.

On Saturday evening we had dinner with friends. So much fun.

Church on Sunday. The kids were not in a mood for photos but they're still cute.

Here's to a good week, y'all!
