Sweet summer time

I need to clean...I need to blog...blogging won!

Our weekends have been spent outside having fun!  Sweet Brooke turned 4 this month and we had a great time at her pool party!  Here are the girls singing to the birthday girl. Check out the Ariel cake Rachael made!



We had the pleasure of meeting Nolan, Karah and Ryan's beautiful new baby boy.  He is absolutely precious and made me want another lil babe (fleeting moment until one of Hadley's 'precious' moments).



One of Hadley's favorite things is to play with Mardi Gras bead and my sunglasses.  Not sure why I even buy the girl toys because she likes things around the house more than anything.



She loves playing in water so I got her a water activity table for outside.  She's had a bit of diaper rash from antibiotics she's been on so I let her play naked which she really enjoys!



This weekend we went to the zoo and love the new splash pad!  You can see my kids playing around in the water - note the little girl in the red bathing suit was knocked down by my 'big kid' shortly after I took these, hehe.





Magpies, my favorite bakery in town, just started selling their cakes and cupcakes at my local Kroger. Uh-oh as Hadley would say!



I've been trying lots of new recipes (thanks, Pinterest!).  Here are a couple goodies - Quinoa Farmer's Market Skillet and "ice cream" (using just frozen bananas and raspberries in the food processor).




And, last but not least, Hadley pee-peed in her potty for the first (and second) time over this weekend!  I'm not sure of the last time I was SO excited!

Summer days...


Busy summer. Fun summer!

As of late….

Celebrated Reese’s first birthday party…such a fun party! Kandi did a FABULOUS job with everything at the party. Check out Kandi's website to see more of the party here!








I went to NYC for work.  I haven’t been since I was probably 10 or so.  Had awesome weather and managed to run 4 miles through Central Park which was AMAZING!  Ate everything in sight too J
 










Hung out at home with my sweet girl…





She’s had her fair share of terrible two “moments” lately…



Been hanging out with Gabe….they even shared their first kiss after a pool date J





She’s also had a couple swim dates at the Bennett’s and at the McMahan’s!




Even snapped green beans with her momma on the patio…




And always love a good snack time – crazy hair!




I ran my first 5K on July 3rd with a few of our new neighbors. Completed in 27:45 (pace of 8:51)!





Happy Summer Y'all!
