Weekend at the Lake

We had a wonderful weekend! We meet up with the Beach family and enjoyed a few fun days on the water. It was Presley's first time to ride on the boat, and to go tubing. She LOVED it!! Kim's niece, Ava, and her nephew, Mills were great playmates for Presley, too! Going to the lake it one of my favorite things to do, so glad we all got to go!

Kim had bubbles waiting on them..which made for happy kiddos!

Captain Presley..living the life!

Sweet Mills

Princess Ava

 My man :)

My angel!

HA!

Tired after a day on the water!

MOMMY..a WASP, AHHHHH!!!

This is her face. EVERY time she sees a WASP..and they seem to LOVE her little pool.
She is soo funny, she yells for them to GO, AWAY, WASP!! :)
One of my fav. pics, of all time!

She loves Daisy so much, she loves chasing her around the yard! I love that she has a little dog she can play with. :)

She is loving her movies these days.. I have to come up with lots of other activities..otherwise, she would be wanting to watch TV all day. 

She totally can push play on the remote now, too. :)

Here, "Mommy, this one, next!" :)

She can't throw a fit when she wants to.. She can be extra picky about these movies, too. :)

But, when she says, "Mommy, I love you." and leans in for a kiss..it makes those temper trantrums so much easier to put up with. I just am enjoying every moment, the easy with the hard, the fun with the not so fun.

She is loving her books..as always. Tonight, when asking her to pick out some for me to read..She says, "hmm, Mommy, let me see..." LOL love the little things she is saying these days. She also said, "Yeah, I think so" and "just a minute, Mommy!" today. Gosh, I think she grew up over night!

                                                                  Love this sweet angel!!!

Fun Weekend!!

We had a really GREAT weekend!! We had to make up for the last one ( Father's Day weekend we attempted to potty train, FAIL. lol) Presley just isn't ready..so we have moved on for now. :)
On Saturday, we drove out to Loveless Cafe. I have heard really great things about this place.. But, had no idea that the normal wait is a hour or longer!!! Thankfully, we got there around 11, so we got to our table a little after 12. It wasn't bad waiting, since they have a little gift shop, and lots of areas to sit outside. The are known for their chicken and biscuits, so that's what we had! Matt and I LOVE fried green tomatoes.. so we ordered those, too!! For dessert, we ordered the Chocolate Fudge Pie.. OH MY! It was AMAZING!
We will be back for sure, but only on occasion.. we can't eat like that and stay healthy, too! :)
That afternoon, we took Presley to the park, then went to the grocery store.. Matt loves to grill.. so he made us this amazing meal! He steamed shrimp in butter, and spices on the grill and Italian chicken, too. I made baked potatoes and pasta salad..and we had a great dinner together after we put Presley to sleep.

On Sunday, we didn't make Church because it was raining and the service was outside..so we watched  How to Train your Dragon and hung out. I popped popcorn, and Presley had it for the first time, she LOVED it and almost ate the entire bowl!! She will really love going to the movies in July! :) After Presley's nap, we went outside to play with chalk and then we got the water hose out, and Presley had the time of her life...Matt really got into it, too! Love seeing them giggle together!!After that, we just got some things done around the house, and I made Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup in the crockpot for dinner..great for a rainy day!!
So blessed to have this sweet little family!!
 We were sad to see Matt go on Monday for a week. On my way out the door to run errands, Monday.. I noticed I had NO CARSEAT in my CAR! AHHH, Matt had taken it to the airport! Thankfully, my sweet friend Lindsey came over and watched Presley so I could go buy another one! I am loving it!! Presley looks so much more comfortable in it! It will convert to a booster, and she can use it forever! YAY! We also got her a cute little life jacket for her first lake trip this coming weekend! :) She is gonna have so much fun!!

 Couldn't choose between clean/ antique look..so I did some of both :)

 Someone also just did a somersault for the 1st.. ALL by HERSELF..as she is saying daily these days :)

She was VERY excited about it!

Matt let Presley hold the nozzle and spray it, ALL by HERSELF.. and SHE WAS SOOO HAPPY!! I have so many other pics of these, but, here are my favs.! Gotta love that belly!

muffins with mommy

On friday, I made some yummy cheesecake blueberry muffins. We love the easy Betty Crocker ones :)
It was such a pretty day, Presley and I went outside to eat.
I also am in LOVE with her little ponytail!! IT is just too precious, and I can't believe how much she has changed over the last few months!

LOVE this girl!!! and her sweet little smile and laugh!!

Look at me, Mommy!!!

Those are the sweetest words to hear these days! She is saying it all the time! I took her outside yesterday because she was asking to ride her tricycle..and she has been "push" riding it, but she surprised me!! She just took off!! I was SO happy I had camera in hand and caught her in action!! I was sad that Matt wasn't there to see, but hopefully she can do it some for him this weekend! I was so PROUD of my baby!!

She loves "hiding" ( she says) in this little tree in front of our house. :)

We got her some new sandals this morning :) Aren't they SO adorable!!?? Gotta have painted toes with a new pair of shoes :)

We are also sporting our new denim shorts from Naartjie, I just LOVE their line. LOVE these shorts on her!!!

I just LOVE this... looking back to see how far she had come! :)

Later that day, we colored some.. She is really enjoying coloring these days :) its so sweet to see her artwork and see her proud of it!

Loves these little toes!!

I LOVE this picture!!! LOVE that its blurry action pic at times!

WE are so excited Daddy gets home tonight.. and we get him for the weekend!!!
