Our Life In iPhone Pics

(a couple weeks worth)

I'm behind, so I decided to just catch up all at once.

Let's rewind back to Mother's Day weekend.  We stayed at my parents' house Saturday night.  Chris had a golf tournament and I went shopping with my mom and sister - including all four of our kids.  

What a whirlwind of a trip!  Won't go into the long details, but my sister and I made out with some very pretty dresses courtesy of our sweet momma (our Mother's Day gifts).  

After shopping, we went to Hannah's softball game.  It was a LONG game - they went over the time limit, but ended up winning.

The littlest priss had a blowout diaper and just smiled at me the whole time I was cleaning her up. The little stink.  Macie and Noah were occupied by dirt and ring pops.

Mother's Day morning, we woke up, had breakfast, got ready real quick, and went to church.  The sweet Methodist women honored Macklyn with a donation to an organization.  I thought that was pretty neat.

After church, we stopped to eat Chinese in town then headed back to my dad's shop for ice cream and a little social time.  The kiddos played to their hearts content....

and Macie and Noah butted heads as usual.

They just can't find a happy medium - they either get along or fight.  Ahhh!!!

As usual, it was so much fun to see the family and I was sad to see the weekend come to an end.

We left for home and Chris did dinner - he ordered Chili's takeout for my Mother's Day dinner.  Better that than what he might attempt to throw together.

We didn't have a very exciting week - which is why I'm not doing a week in iPhone pics. 

We did the usual school, had a playdate with Macie's friend, Grant, then just laid low the rest of the week until Friday.

About the most exciting thing that happened with me was having a chance to flat iron my hair - woohoo!!!  It's been about a month since the last time I got to do that.

We're supposed to have playgroup on Friday, but we opted out this week because Macie woke up with a bloody nose.  It was supposed to be a trip to the "beach" and I just didn't think a bloody nose + water was going to be such a good idea.

So instead, we hung around the house that morning then headed out to watch my cousin play in her senior powder puff football game.  

I can't believe she's a senior - makes me REALLY feel OLD! 

After powder puff, we went to my SIL's new apartment for a yummy dinner!

We had a good time and the girls got some quality time with their Lolli, Aunt Ash, and Aunt Sherri.  It's always a great time with that bunch of ladies! 

Macie spent the night with Ash.

Saturday, I met Ashley at Central Market after a grocery trip - grabbed Macie, ran home to quickly unload, ran to Stephenville for a Birthday party for my BFF's {that now lives in OK} 2 y/o, went to see my cousin's new baby girl, then headed back to the house for dinner with our neighbors.  

What a busy day!

We finally got to relax at the neighbors' house. 

I'm so glad we're finally hanging out with them more.  Kara is so sweet and it's just nice to have someone next door.  It'll be great having babies the same age so they'll have playmates.  Love it!

Chris planned a golf trip today and I had intended to stay home and clean, but a trip to see my momma sounded like a better idea.  My niece and nephew were there, so Macie had some playmates.  

We had Chinese again {because the Mexican food restaurant's grill and fryer were broken}, I ran into my BFF with her dad and brothers {got to see her two days in a row, YAY!}, and just hung out for a while. 

The week went by fast and the weekend flew.  

This is Macie's last week of school and we're going to have a busy weekend again - a birthday party for a friend of Macie's, a wedding reception for one of Chris' best friends, and Chris is going to a Rangers game on Sunday.  

Whew!  I'm already out of breath.

Guess what I finally did!

10 ON 10!  

Okay, maybe I didn't get around to actually posting until after midnight, but I actually put forth the effort all. day. long!

I've been wanting to do this FOREVER, but always forget.  Thankfully, this month Holly @ The Erwin Journey reminded me....AND I didn't forget!!!  YAY and thanks Holly!

So, here goes my 10 on 10 for the Month of May.

10:00 a.m. - Morning walk with Kara and Preslee.

11:00ish - Cool down with a bottle of water after the walk.

12:00 p.m. - Yummy sandwich for lunch.

1:00 p.m. - Miss priss sitting on my lap while I get ready.

2:00 p.m. - A trip to World Market.

3:00 p.m. - then moving on to Central Market.

4:00 p.m. - Picked up Sissy from school.

5:00 p.m. - Eating gummy butterflies.

6:00 p.m. - Heating dinner in the oven courtesy of Central Market.

7:00 p.m. - This sweet face looking up at me after she finished eating.

The weekend.

A chill weekend.

Saturday we all woke up and hung out - stayed lazy all morning.  I went grocery shopping with just one kiddo.  It's amazing how much leaving one at home helps. 

There's marina in town that has a restaurant called Stumpy's with awesome surf and turf kinda food.  We hadn't eaten there in a while, so I told Chris that we needed to go.  He was on the phone with his buddy and they just happened to be going that evening for dinner before his son's t-ball game, so we planned to join them. 

It's always fun at Stumpy's because after we finish eating, we'll feed our leftover fries to the fish, ducks, and turtles.  Macie always looks forward to going, especially when her little buddies are there too.  I wish I had taken some pictures, but I was a little busy with the littlest priss.

After dinner, we went to the t-ball game to root for Macie's friend.  We got to yell really loud when he hit a home run!  They didn't win, but he did pretty awesome.  Macie, of course, would rather play in the dirt with her friends than watch the game.
Sunday we woke up early to start the day and get ready for a baby shower in Paradise for one of my friends.  I was alone because Chris went to play golf EARLY {left before 6:00 a.m. - how is that fun?}. 

The shower was very nice and it was good to see everyone.

We stayed about an hour or so then headed over to my in-law's house to hang out and get some outdoor time in {we have no shade at our house, so with the HOT days already we don't get to go out much}. 

Macie played and played, then wanted to stay.  I think she would probably split her time between the grandparents if we would let her!

We got some tummy time in, then headed outside.  Macklyn LOVES it outside.  She always falls asleep while outdoors - it's so cute. 

 Then she got a sweet pallet on the living room floor and slept until we had to leave.

Then we made the trip back home to Daddy.

Now we're looking forward to another busy weekend consisting of a golf tournament and Mother's Day.  I hope Chris doesn't forget to help out the girls with a nice somethin' somethin' for Momma. :)

~Our week in iPhone pictures~

I know, I said I was going to do this weekly and I'm not.  I want to have fun doing something and not stress about getting it done, so I've decided to just do this when I happen to have a good week with lots of pictures.

So anyway, here we go...

Monday was pretty uneventful.  Seriously.  I have two pictures from this day.  Macklyn found her thumb and had started using it to soothe herself, but gets VERY angry if she can't find it {pic is from the day before}.  We went on our daily walk with our neighbor and her baby {Macklyn's future buddy}.  We're searching for our cat, so Macie was keeping a lookout for her {she's been gone going on two weeks :(}.  I'm starting to get a pretty good tan from the outdoor time - exciting.  Still, it's getting way too hot, way too fast.  Me no likey having no Spring. Wah wah.

Tuesday, no pictures. Macie went to school and Macklyn and I came home to chill for a bit before our walk with Kara and Preslee.  We went a little longer on our walk this day, so I was pretty tired.  I went home anyway, took a shower, headed out to get Macie from school, and we took off to Ft. Worth to meet my MIL and SIL to drop Macie off for a sleepover.  I made my mom and MIL a photo book of Macie {from birth until now} on Shutterfly {which I've become obsessed with} and it was supposed to be a Mother's Day gift, but I couldn't wait that long.  I gave my MIL hers and I *can't wait* to give my mom hers now.  I worked HOURS on these, so I'm really proud of how they turned out.  I ended up making a couple of my own in smaller versions.  One is Macie's baby pictures and the other is Macklyn's.  Can't wait to get those either!!!

Wednesday was a BIG day for all of us!  Macklyn and I went on our walk, then came home to get ready for some strawberry pickin'!  We met Marianne and Ashley out at the farm and one of Macie's buddies and his mom met us out there too.  They had a blast!  After we finished up, Macie went with her friend and Macklyn and I went for a mani and pedi with Marianne and Ash.  I hadn't had a pedi since BEFORE Macklyn was born.  Whew, that was needed desperately!

Thursday, Chris got Macie ready for school AND took her to eat donuts before dropping her off.  What a sweet daddy!  Did I get a picture of them?  No.  I was too busy trying to sleep in with little miss I don't want to sleep.  Speaking of the little one, she turned 3 months this day!  We eventually rolled off the couch and got ready for our walk.  I've quit DP and have been chugging me some water!  We hung out at the house for a while then went to pick Macie up from school.  From there, we stopped to get snow cones.  Go figure - I stop at the one that has melty ice because it hadn't had time to freeze.  Oh well, I got a scoop of vanilla in mine and it made it a little better.  My cousin came over that evening so I could take her pictures and we made her graduation invitations.  {{tear}}  I can't believe she's grown up.

Friday {today} we went to the "beach" here in town for play group.  **Warning, Soapbox**: It's actually pretty nice for a lake beach, but like any public area there are the trashy people that don't care and leave trash, cigarette butts, and dirty diapers {I've never understood not disposing of diapers properly...it's just gross and rude}.  Thankfully, the city has workers that go around cleaning it up as best they can.  I didn't get any pictures of our beach outing - was too busy trying to keep an eye on Macie while keeping the baby out of the sun.  Today was just a weird day.  It seems like it just flew by.  Macie thought Macklyn was getting hot, so she cooled her off with a whipey.  I picked up dinner for us from Sonic {they downsized their kid's meal drink}  Chris went to bed a few hours ago, I got Macklyn to sleep, then got to doing the things I don't get to do during the day.  Edit pictures, make collages, and internet shop.  I'm debating whether or not to buy 50 Shades of Gray, I'm looking at a website I found on Pinterest with swimsuits, and I'm swimsuit shopping online.  This morning while getting ready for the lake, I put on my two piece from last year...boobs were falling out.  So I broke out the one piece - boobs still falling out, but not as bad.  I've *got* to get a new one before the next time I go swimming!

That's all folks!  I'm gonna turn in and get some sleep {fingers crossed} so I can prepare for this busy weekend ahead.
