Went to Kroger and got a sucker. Acted like she had NEVER had a sucker before in her life. Goober!
Tuesday Mia and I went and had dinner with Meme, Poppy and B at McAlister's and then froyo for dessert! It was a great evening, but you can tell she had a little shu-gah!
Her Monkey face!
Whoever said sugar doesn’t affect kids, obviously has never seen mine on sugar! That is ANOTHER reason why we limit the intake! HA!
Also, check out our pretty flowers blooming…
It’s been a good couple of days. Real good. Not anything special or out of the ordinary, just good ole family time well spent. Nothing humbles me and makes me feel more blessed than reflecting on weekends like these.
Although Meme had to work the whole weekend, we still had good QT! We sure did miss her though.
Saturday morning, daddy went to help his mom and dad do some yard work, so Mia and I went to eat breakfast with Poppy and B. After breakfast we had an impromptu shopping date. Just the four of us! There wasn’t a whole lot of buying, but instead just enjoying each others company and being together.
Mia rode some overly priced, generic mall rides…
And Ben enjoyed some Starbucks…
He is such an old-man-trapped-in-a-young-mans-body type of kid! Wouldn’t trade him for the world!
And look what Poppy bought for Mia…
Are those not the cutest?? Thank you Pops!
When daddy got done shopping, we met him at the local sushi bar and had lunch/dinner!
We came home for a bit and daddy and Mia played on the slip-n-slide!
Don’t let him fool you, he had just as much, if not more, fun as she did! Love those two!
Oh and we had some kiddie pool time…
Melt my heart!
After Meme got off work, we all went to the local theatre and watched “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” It. Was. Hilarious!
This morning we got up, went to church and ABF, the mall for Mia a shirt* (more to come on that later!), and then to Aunt Terri’s and Uncle Charlie’s for a swim party/cookout!
I woke up to this…
Daddy and his cuddle bunny :)
Pool time!
And then he dunked her. Completely.
She didn’t mind at all! Such water bugs!
Even the dog enjoyed a nice swim!
Dave and I then went to our final marriage class/seminar. I just love being around a bunch of Christian married couples in all stages of life. Such a good mentor/mentee experience!
After that long and fun weekend, I’m ready for a chill day :)
Before I start, just want to warn you, this post will be a total photo overload!
Thursday morning Mia and I went to bible study at Tiffani’s house. Mia got to play with Jase while mommy got to spend some time with the girls watching Beth Moore!
After bible study, we took Mia to get her blood work done. The older she gets, the worse she is getting about it. I think it’s because she has better memory now and knows it’s going to hurt. And? She is SO strong, I can’t hold her still.
This was before the “poke.” Happy as can be.
This was right before. Already stressing out.
Right after. Notice daddy ending up having to hold her?? I literally could not hold her still!
Any time that happens, Mia deserves some yummy lunch!
I worked Thursday night, we just hung around the house Friday and Friday night we went to eat with Meme and B and then had game night at Meme and Poppy’s house!
Mia had her besties over today. Brinlee and Nadia, of course :) Nadia’s big brother Bryce came as well and he was SUCH a trooper! He helped us keep the girls in line and entertained them. Such a sweet sweet boy!
Mia and Brinlee in the pool!
Even though the water was pretty cold, Mia stayed in the pool, shivering and all. Such a water baby! HA!
Pretty Nadia!
Mia loves these girls and always has a great time with them :)
This weekend we went to Charlie’s baseball game and Brody’s wee-ball game! Mia just adores her big cousins and I love to watch her with them!
Mia and Charlie
Sweet Brody! If there is anything that makes me want a boy, it would be this! How cute is he in his little helmet and uniform?
Playing in the tree!
Mia and Brody
On the way home… She was HOT and tired.
After nap, we went out and bought Mia her “kiddie” pool. And of course she immediately had to get in!
Playing with Uncle B.
Sunday we went to church, came home and played in the pool and then Dave and I went to our “marriage spring training.” I am LOVING it! If you ever have a chance to get the David Platt Secret Church series on Marriage and Family, I HIGHLY recommend it!
Mia and I had an impromptu little date today. She needed new crocs and I needed some more hand soap, so we headed to the mall!
It’s crazy how it’s the little things that make us happy. We got Mia her new shoes and my soap then went to visit Mickey Mouse (at the Disney Store), went to Old Navy to visit with her little friend (the little mannequin!), threw coins in the fountain and finally had dinner together at Panera Bread!
I love spending one on one time with my favorite little girl. I am drinking this age in. She can be so stinking sweet one minute and absolutely disobedient the next! It’s a work in progress :)
Haha! She loves this “little girl!” She kept going up to her and holding her hand! HA!
Dinner!
Such a great day :)
