a rainy valentine's

hearts, cards, and candy are abundant here.

the rain just keeps drizzling.
taking the pollen with it.

our boy is home.
see above pollen!

i'm working on checking off my list.

which includes editing pictures from our north carolina trip.

but now, i'm off to make a hungry boy some mac and cheese.

toilet paper

every child must do it.

and i couldn't help myself.
i just had to look back and find her brother's shenanigans.

and this just happened to be in the same folder.
still amazed at how much they look alike and can make the same facial expressions.

a season of firsts

we are embarking on a new adventure: t-ball.
it will be a season of firsts:
a real glove,
a pair of cleats,
the first practice,
the first catch with that new glove,
and many more.

so far all is going well.
he's enjoying practice and looking forward to the next one.
our boy is growing up fast,
and we are soaking up these precious moments.

legoland and other instagram pics

last week august and i went on a field trip to legoland.
mom watched tatum, so we could have a "date."
he was so excited to get this experience with his friends.

the crew after riding the dinosaur roller coaster!

august loves his friend hannah.....the one he calls a tomboy.

riding through the safari.

his favorite superheros were there too.

a knight on his horse with a brand new sword.

we had a wonderful day.
just me and my boy.

other instagramming:
caught being a super helpful big brother.

my tired running partner.

new fabric in the morning sunlight.

fence construction has begun.

hand stitching some appliques.

just being

soaking up the last bits of warm sunshine.
riding bikes and racing mama.
taking note of spiderwebs laced through the grass.
loving on my babies.
watching them play together.
laughing at static electricity hair.
a girl that is always taking off socks and shoes.

yesterday afternoon was definitely about just being.

an insta update

cousin steve's peanut brittle....hands down the BEST!

too bad it's gone.

christmas night.....a very tired boy.

 
the dryer broke,
but it was a great day to line dry.

i gave up coke after our trip to the mountains.

it only lasted one day,
but this week i have gone 4 days straight without one.
hoping to keep the streak going!

organizing my fabric stash,
and hoping to use more from it.

the perfect healthy fat in it own little bowl.

my aunt candis coozie at girl's game night!

my jeep ridin' babies.

our first rain delay of the day.
reminded me of days at the ranch with lunch breaks under the oaks.
we were delayed again with quite a downpour....
my faith in the weather channel app was questioned!

playing legos with my boy.
and anticipating tomorrow's field trip.

pictures from our mountain trip coming soon!
