last week

We went out of town and spent some time in the mountains in West Virginia. It was nice to just relax and enjoy some time away from everything. Unfortunately, the bubs got his first ever cold from his grandpa :( Poor thing is still coughing. The snot that comes out of that tiny little nose is unbelievable... ;)

hunter boots

My Hunter Wellies finally came and I have to say, I love them :) I can't wait to wear them this week so bring on the rain ;) 

They also didn't have any of that weird residue on them that I had heard about, just in case you were wondering.

4 months ago life changed

Happy 4 Months, Bubbie! 


We can't believe it's been 4 months already. 
4 months ago you made us the happiest people on earth and you sure made your mama work hard for it :) 
You are such a blessing and make every day so much better than the last. 
I am the happiest girl when I see you smile, which you do a lot.
When you wake up in the morning and talk our ears off for an hour I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. 
You are growing so fast and learning new things every day. 
You love to be in your bouncer and play with all the different toys on it. 
You laugh when your daddy tickles you with his beard or when the puppies come close to your face.
You have such a strong grip now and I have to make sure my hair stays out of your reach. 
You roll over like a pro and love to be upright. I hope one day you will stop drooling though ;) 
I love your bald little head and your big blue eyes.
I secretly feel good about the fact that you only want your mama to rock you to sleep or calm you down when you're upset. (Don't tell your papa, even though he probably knows...)
I love to see how happy you are when we take your clothes off for bath time. I guess soon enough you'll be a teenager running around this house in only your underwear, just like your dad an uncles used to do. 


Please slow down little man. Don't grow so fast. I already miss the skinny little newborn you.


We love you so much.

new faves

I love getting packages in the mail :) The unfortunate thing with packages is that it usually means you spent way too much money somewhere online... Well at least in my case it does. 

I'm away with my in-laws this week while the hubs is wrapping up work for this season, yay!

So I figured since I am gonna have some help with the bubs I may actually be able to get some reading in...

Am I delusional?? I'll let you know how it went...

So here is what I got:

5 year diary 

(It's usually $25 but only $12.47 on Amazon, there are only a few lines for each day so it's perfect for this lazy bum)

The Help by Kathryn Stockett 

(I had to restrain myself from going to see the movie, I really wanted to read the book first)

Design Sponge at Home 

(I am already drooling over all the wonderful inspiration) 

Any tips on books? What have you recently read or purchased?

We went on a nice little family walk on Thursday, all 5 of us. There is a nice park just a few minutes from our house with a walking trail, playground and a baseball field. 

We both got on the swing set. I think it had been more than 10 years since I was on a swing ;) It was fun. I have no idea why we don't do this more often? Why do we stop doing silly things like that just because we grow up? 

The little guy took a nice long nap and the pups had a blast. Family time is the best :) 

homecoming

The hubs finally came home :) One more week and the season is over... 
Counting down the days.
So today we are enjoying his last off day before the end of the season.
Family time :)
