Life Lately

Life lately has been a little hectic. Let me catch you up in no certain order. About a month ago my granddad suddenly passed away. He went to the doctor after not feeling well and after running some tests found out he had stage 4 cancer. It most likely started in his lungs then just spread everywhere. My sister, brother, and I flew out to Florida to meet my mom, aunt, and uncle who were already there with him. It was a very quick trip. My grandad didn't want a memorial, but we gave him one anyway. There were only a few arrangements, because he wanted people to make donations to food banks, hospice, and charities. 

Here we are heading to Florida. We made my brother sit in another row since he was driving us nuts. 

While we were there we bought a selfie stick and had way too much fun using it. 

We had a lot of family drive in from different parts of the state to be there with us. It's been awhile since we had seen some of our cousins. 

We had a lay over in Miami. I wish I could have stayed. I love Miami!!! 

On to some happy news... Daddy was out of town a couple weeks ago while he was gone we went to the local amphitheater for some face painting, playing at the park, crafts, kona ice, and finding Nemo on the big screen. We took CFA and got there a little to picnic and get a good spot for the movie. I love how every Friday they do this during the summer. 

When daddy's away mommy shops. The kids and I headed to canton to see what we could find. C got a wooden arrow for his room, liv got an outfit, and mommy got a yummy soup mix. 

One of Carson's friends turned 7, and had a fun soccer themed birthday party at the park. 

Liv had farm day at school. She makes such a cute cowgirl. 

The other day I left the kids at home with Ryan to go get my hair done. While I was gone he pulled the boat out to get it summer ready. The kids are so ready for summer! 

Swimming after school before the rain storm. 

Just like momma! 

Both kids successfully had field day at school. 

We can't get enough watermelon around here. Our favorite snack. 

Olivia finished prek-3 last week. 

And we recently took a trip to Arkansas. It will have its own post most of my pictures are still on my big camera. 

So that has been our crazy little life lately. If you read through this insanely long post, high five! :)

Weekend recap

Another weekend has come and gone. I wish the week would go as fast as the weekend does. Friday night was stormy. Ryan wanted to go eat, so we braved the down pour. Good thing he was driving I couldn't see anything. After we left the restaurant I realized I forgot my phone on the table. I was freaking out that someone probably stole it. Luckily it was under napkins, and was still there. After my almost heart attack, and dinner I watched the Bruce Jenner interview. 

I've always liked him. He seemed the most normal out of all the Kardashians. This whole transgender thing though is kind of mind blowing. The beginning of the interview was kind of strange he was talking in a more feminine manor, then back to Bruce. I prefer him as Bruce, but oh well. Good luck to him, or her. 

Friday nights are sleep over nights in our room. The kids wanted to sleepin Carson's tent. I told them they would be squished, but they didn't care.

They wait all week for Friday night sleepovers. 

Saturday Ryan said he was going to check the mail at the office. I told him I wanted to go and him drive me by the lake. He wasn't too excited about it, but this momma always gets her way! 

The lake was so busy, and the kids really wanted to get out and play. 

We've been experimenting what life would be with three kids. Haha. Not really I just love bringing my neighbor places because she's so sweet with the kids. It's kind of funny to me she will come ring my door bell and ask Olivia to play. 

That night we headed out to Texas Motor Speedway to watch the Torc Series races. 

The last time we went Carson was only 10 months old. It doesn't come every year. These trucks are fun to watch. 

This truck had his whole hood hanging by a thread during the race. He didn't let it stop him. 

Sunday I cleaned house while the kids played outside then my sister and nephew came out so I could get their pictures in the Bluebonnets. 

The bluebonnets aren't as pretty as they were, but that's what she gets for waiting so long. 😜

Olivia was all over baby Cam he was not having it. 

Last time we took pics I didn't think about putting her in her cowboy boots until we got home. White dress, pig tails, cowboy boots, bluebonnets just scream Texas! 

It is a little difficult to get three kids to all look at the camera. I'm pretty sure Cam was scared of me during this pic sesh. I was making all kinds of silly faces, loud weird noises, whatever I could to make them look or smile. Sometimes you just gotta be crazy. 

And we ended our weekend with some yummy banana cream cheesecake pie the hubs requested. Hope y'all had a great weekend! 

Life lately!

Our week started off with morning kickboxing, then some shopping at ikea. 

I'm redecorating Carson's room right now, so we went out to ikea for a couple things. While we were out there we also checked out Nebraska Furniture Mart. That place is gigantic, even gigantic might be an understatement. I was searching for a bed for Carson while looking it dawned on me we have a really night wrought iron bed in our attic. The bed search was over and it was on to mattress shopping. I got lucky, and my sisters mil has a nice one in the size I need she was willing to sell me! Score. 

After shopping mini me & I picked up our handsome boy and headed to wal mart for groceries. I just love these two.

Ryan bought me these pretty tulips at wal mart. Ok, maybe I bought them, but it was his $ so technically he did, right? :)

Olivia's school pictures came in. These are so cute. School pictures are so expensive, and I don't display them in my house so I just keep the proofs. These were hard not to buy.

Olivia's hair has gotten so long. If it's not up somehow it looks dirty, and tangled. I think she looks adorable in pig tails. I think she likes them too. She was having fun during her iPhone photo shoot. 

Wednesday we went to open gym at golden grips. We absolutely love golden grips. 

This girl could swing all day. She told me she was Spider-Man? 

That's been our life lately. If you follow me on IG you've probably already seen these. Since it's Thursday I thought I would throw in a few tbt pics. I had a few cute ones pop up on my timehop. 

Watermelon photo shoot in the backyard. 

He had bronchitis and you would have never known. 

She had the cutest rat tail. How could this have been comfortable? I moved her after I took a picture. 

My SIL took this picture of C in the bluebonnets before I had a good camera. I still have it hanging in the house. So cute. That's our life lately with some throwbacks. Happy Thursday. 

Weekend recap

This weekend was low key & perfect. Friday after school the kids came home and played with the neighborhood kids like most days. I love having a 10 year old neighbor. She loooooves playing with Olivia. While they were playing I played with my new hair wand. 

I'm not good with fixing hair, but I'm trying. 

Saturday morning I got up and hit the gym for Extreme boot camp. I love my boot camp family, we have fun sweatin' together. 

After boot camp Ryan & C went shopping for new dirt bike gear, so we met up with Autumn Bottom for some pampering. 

We did some shopping after our pedicures. She didn't like this dress so she was mad I had her try it on. She's definitely my daughter. In the end she got her way and got a different dress and shoes. 

We had a late breakfast so popcorn for lunch it was. 

After we got home from our four hour long shopping adventures we headed to Razzoos for some rat toes, & stuffed shrimp. Yum. 

Chasing bubbles after dinner before the storm hits. 

Our bubble machine is amazing. She got it for her birthday last year and I haven't been able to find another one. It would make a perfect gift for my nephews. 

Sunday we were extremely lazy. The kids were eating cinnamon rolls at 1 pm. Ha. Some days you just need to do nothing.
