BEACH

Hey everyone!!! We are at the beach this week...pictures to come! Wanting to soak up as much family time as possible! XOXO

OoOoOH SUNNY DAY

Temp is rising!!

Whew! Its been a few hot days in VA, no complaining though. We have had so much fun at my parents pool & at the lake! Kylee did so good too! She wasnt a big fan of the sand at first, but grew to love it! We got out the sidewalk chalk at nana's and papa's, after a couple of 'bites' :) she then realized what she was supposed to do with it! I am starting to realize summer break is almost over, bummer! The teachers in my county go back August 3rd-which is right around the corner....im going to soak up every second with Kylee before I have to return to being a 'role model' haha love my job (no really i do!!) hope yall are having a FAB summer XOXO

COOKIES & A MESS

We had a great Tuesday evening. My friend Amy had Kylee and myself over for a fun playdate, a yummy dinner & some hairbow making!! We had a blast. Her little girl just turned 4 months and it amazes me to think Kylee was that age just LAST july...wow!!! Needless to say, Kylee got into the dessert & was loving every little lick!!

XOXO

 Hope you had a FAB Sunday!

Homemade Legwarmers!

    We were supposed to go to the lake today, but the Sun just wasnt on our side. We did so many things instead, including making leg warmers! I was browsing some "How To" sites & I didn't realize how easy they were. I have some more ideas up my sleeve, but the ones I made today I didn't even have to sew (jackpot!) I took a pair of my tube socks & simply cut the bottom off. For some reason, the bottoms rolled up perfectly & looked like they were made that way. Another pair could possibly need sewing, so just base it on how you think it looks! I have a few pictures of them on my little girl. Kylee was all over the place today, so I only got a few good pictures, good luck catching a 1 yr old!

::Playtime::



cute little kitchen

love this bed idea

great organizational ideas


We are looking into ideas to turn Kylee's 'nursery' into more of a toddler 'playroom'. She is 16 months going on 18 ;) I'm simply amazed at how she's developing & how observant she is.  Playing with her is the highlight of my day. The way she hands me things and giggles just melts my heart!! To all the mommies out there enjoy those little moments, I can already tell they grow up too fast xxoo

A Day on the LaKe!

There's nothing like a day on the lake in VA! I love summertime, love love love it! The sun was shining bright, the water was the perfect temp (like bathwater) great friends & a nice cold one!!! We had so much fun in the water, tubing & had a fun picnic mid-day! We then went into some coves to check out some waterfalls.This was the only one I would climb up because of my fear of what I call "S's" I think you guys can figure that one out. I will not say nor type the word of that animal, ew! We came home and had burgers on the grill, perfect end to a perfect day. XOXO

HAPPY 4TH YA'LL

July 3rd-Cookout on the mountain!

  

Heading to FIREWORKS tonight. Cant wait to listen to good music, eat til' I wanna pop & spend it all with the ones I love. There's something about the 4th of July that just makes you smile. Seeing everyone coming together & being PROUD Americans gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside, I love it!!! Be safe, Ill post pix tomorrow =)

Vacation: PA!

PA was filled with lots of family time! My husbands family lives there & we try to visit at least twice a year. He was born in NY and moved to New Castle, PA when he was 5. Then he made his way down to VA (to find me I still think!!!) at the age of 11! We attended the same elementary and high school and God has richly blessed us in our lives together. It's crazy to think about him being so far away in different states for so long and then finding possibly the smallest county in VA! GOD IS GOOD! He would drive me crazy on the school bus, but now I see he was being all boy and wanting my digits haha We started dating when we were 15 (WOW!) we were young'ins!! I love him to pieces and wouldnt have it any other way. He is everything I want in a husband, and is an amazing father to our little girl. I am thrilled to spend the rest of my life with him, and make so many more memories!! Sorry I went a completely different direction with this post, but here are a few pictures of our PA adventures!!!! Enjoy!
