Cousin Time and Baby Ward!!

Wednesday before last, Mama went and picked up Hunter so he could visit with us for a while. We love when he comes to visit!! I took off work Thursday so we could all spend some time together. Thursday night, we went to Outback for dinner. Yum!! William had a grilled cheese and he got tired of eating the bites I cut up and just grabbed the whole sandwich. Such a big boy!! After Outback, Hannah surprised us and said she wanted to go to Wal mart and get William the Stride to Ride Dinosaur that we had been eyeing. We were so excited and there was only one left!! William went to bed when we got home and I got to work putting it together (with some help from Robbie ;))

Sweet boy!

Blueberry waffles, yum!!

Being grown with the whole sandwich!
Friday, William played with his new dino and we all ran to lunch and the grocery store for a few things. We decided to cook out that night at our house. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, corn and baked beans. Thanks to Robbie for his grill skills!! ;)

Loving the new toy!


Happy to see me return to the car after grocery shopping


Saturday morning, Erica and her mom came up!! Erica found out on Thursday that she was having a BOY so we had lots of shopping to do!!! We went to California Pizza Kitchen for lunch and then hit Pottery Barn Kids, Babies R Us and SmartMomma! SO much fun. William was a little trooper!! She got a LOT of cute stuff. At Babies R Us, I went ahead and got one of his birthday presents - a Little Tikes picnic table! I had Toys R Us gift cards and a coupon, so I think I ended up paying $10 for a $50 table. That's about the extent of my "couponing". That night, we all went to dinner with her brother and his girlfriend at Fujisan (our fave). It was DELICIOUS. William was not in an eating mood that night. He had maybe half of a baby food and a piece of chicken and zucchini from the restaurant. Thankfully, he still slept all night.


Sunday was the day we took Hunter back to Linda and Ron so he could go home. :( Robbie was home with us in the morning and then had to close. William and I rode with Mama and Hunter to Greensboro to meet Linda and Ron. We ate dinner at Cracker Barrel and then turned around. It was so much having Hunter here!! William just loved him. He kept staring and him and smiling. So sweet. I definitely don't mind William looking up to Hunter, he is so great!!!

2 Weeks Ago...

The weekend before last was another busy one!!

Thursday night, we celebrated Hannah's birthday at Carrabba's. Mama, Stephanie, her Dad, Robbie, me, Tanya, and Chiara were all there and we had a great time!! She turned the big 2-3!! Her actual birthday was on Friday the 13th but her friends wanted to go out that night, so we celebrated early!!


William was a little restless after dinner and was trying to escape his crib!
Friday I worked from home. William was crawling everywhere as usual and decided to pop over and say hi to me! That night, Robbie's parents arrived around 10. Robbie worked until really late, so he didn't see them until Saturday morning. We had a nice time talking Friday night and finally went to bed around 11:30.


Snacktime after nap!

Saturday morning, we had breakfast at home with Robbie's parents then just hung around the house playing with William. We went to lunch at the Mexican restaurant and then they left when Robbie went to work. William and I headed to Buy Buy Baby for a few things with Mama. She got him the cutest pair of Crocs! He looks so adorable in them! And he definitely is not allowed to wear them in the car because he thinks they are a chew toy. ;) After that, Mama had plans so the two of us went over to Starbucks and he had a bottle while I had my coffee. :) We had to finish up with a visit to Target, where he got his first Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD. He LOVES Mickey! So, I rigged his mirror to be able to see the DVD player so he can watch (occasionally) when we go places! He loves it! We went to dinner that night with Stephanie and her dad at Bojangles. William made a huge mess on the floor. One of the downsides of eating table food, haha!



Sunday was a busy day! We went to Noemie's 1st Birthday party!!! We had a great time. They had a ton of food and William snacked on some strawberries and ham. He tried his first lollipop! Luckily, he didn't care that we took it away after a minute, haha! We left after Noemie opened her presents! Happy Birthday to a sweet girl!!

Morning playtime with Daddy







When we left the party, we went to see Ashley, Willie, and Molly! They had been in Alaska for 10 days, and we had missed them!! William and Molly played forever. Molly was very interested in a coaster and William wanted it too! When we got home, we took a little quick nap on the sofa, and then William was back to playing of course!








Finding a way over everything...

3 Years!

On July 11, we celebrated 3 years of wedded bliss! I am such a lucky girl to have such a sweet, thoughtful guy to share my life with! I can't even believe how far we have come in just 3 short years. Seems like just yesterday....






And now... :)


I took off from work Wednesday (actual anniversary) and Thursday. We celebrated Wednesday night by going to Firebirds for dinner. Hannah and Mama celebrated some alone time with William at the mall!! We had a wonderful meal and their drinks were half off that night, yay! After Firebirds, we headed to see "Ted". So crude but so hilarious. Sometimes you just need a good laugh.




Thursday, we went over to Southpoint for a little birthday shopping for Robbie's dad and Hannah. It was nice to just have a couple days off to enjoy being together!!



Happy Anniversary, Robbie!!!

William + Conner = BFF!!!

Y'all, I am SO behind on blogging! It makes me so mad at myself. We have had some busy weekends lately!!

Two weeks ago, Shelley and Conner came up for the day on Saturday. You may or may not remember that every time Shelley comes, we are shocked. ;) So, she texted me early and said they were thinking about coming. I figured she was just kidding, so I went about my business of setting out pork chops for dinner. She texted a few minutes later saying they were on their way, in the car!! I got so excited and the pork chops made a hasty retreat to the freezer! Conner and William play so well together now! It is so fun to see their little friendship flourish. They played for a few minutes before we went to lunch at O'Charley's. We then headed over to North Hills to shop their sidewalk sale (a bust!) By the time we were through with that, Robbie was off and we went home to relax for a while before dinner. Shelley brought William some of Conner's toys and he had a ball trying to figure out the musical walker. When we dumped all of the toys out of the bin that she brought them in, we put the boys in. They thought it was SO funny! She pushed them all over the floor. Right before we got them out, William threw his arm around Conner and kissed him on the cheek!! We have NEVER seen him do that before. I'm not sure where he got it, but we DIED laughing. We went to dinner at the Mexican restaurant and they headed out around 8:30. We were so glad they came to visit!!!

Crawling around and getting stuck

Playing together!

Shopping!



Both staring at MMC!



LOL! Can't believe I caught it on camera!




The next day, William played with his ride-on truck that Shelley brought. He LOVES it!! We went to lunch at Amante's Pizza with Mama and he enjoyed some mac and cheese and pizza crust. That night, he was SUCH a sweetheart. I rode in the backseat with him for the first time in a long time, and he kept putting his little hand on my arm and patting. So sweet.
