A fun day with some sweet boys

I started my Monday off with working.  But don’t let that fool you, it was only for four hours!  That is about my average these days, and I love it!!
When I got off work, I stopped and grabbed Mia some lunch, picked her and Finley up from daddy and us girls headed to the park with a friend, Cassie and her sweet boy Sam.  We haven’t actually seen each other since Sam was 3 months and Mia was about 10 months!  But with Facebook, blogs and texts, we picked up like we hadn’t missed a beat!  The kids had fun and it was nice to have adult conversation!


We came home, had quiet time and then went to Mia’s FAVORITE big cousins baseball games!!



Pretty sure they like each other ;)


We came home, had baths and snuggled in bed!
Tomorrow is a big day!  Mia’s last day of 3 year old preschool and her first best friend sleep over!!

A fun little Tuesday

We started today nice and early, and went non stop all day, up until bed time.
I got Mia up for a bath before school at 730.  Got her ready and fed her, fed Finley and then took Mia to school.  I came home, got myself and Finley ready and by that time it was time for us to go pick up Mia.  We grabbed Mia and headed straight to the hair salon, where Mia and I had appointments to her our hair done!

Big girl before school…


I didn’t realize that by telling her we were going to get our hair “cut” was going to mortify her.  When she sat in Rhonda’s chair and she got out the scissors, Mia freaked.  Didn’t realize she would put 2 and 2 together.  Hair cut and scissors.  Sorry for scarring you Mia girl!

Oh my heart.  Waiting for our turn…







After a sucker bribery…


We had plans to meet at a park and have dinner with one of my nursing school friends this evening.  I have ben friends with Katie for about 7 years and we have kept in touch via text and Facebook and our first borns are 3 days apart and our youngest are 2 months apart, but we have yet to have our kids together.  So today was the day, and it was worth it!  Mia and Alex hit it off and had an absolute blast!



Beautiful weather!




Dirty booty… :)


This is how sister enjoyed the park…




Think she’s having fun??




After the park, we were all hungry, and since kids eat free at McAlister's, that is where we went :)

They had SO much fun together!!


Mia wouldn’t even sit on my side by me, she said “NO!  I wanna sit by him!”  Well ok then sister.  Just throw me to the wayside for the boy.  Teenage years??  Such is life.


Next up, the mall to buy the clothes that I had picked out yesterday, that were now on sale!!

Such a fun day!  Can’t wait to do it again!

Ballpark, doctor and a play date

Yesterday one of the sweet high school girls from church asked me if I would come to watch her softball game.  The weather was great and being that I used to love playing softball, of course I went!  I was such a good game and those girls are really good!  Being that I went to a public school and this game was with Christian/private schools,there were a few things I was used to.  First, the fans of both teams sat on a little set of bleachers, together.  That was unheard of where I went.  Competition was a huge part of it when I played, even between the parents.  The other thing I LOVED, after the game, all of the girls, from both teams, together formed a circle, in the middle of the field, hand in hand and PRAYED!!  I thought that was so awesome, because win or lose, we are all still children of God and can all still get along and love each other despite our differences.



Take me out to the ball game…


Uncle B went with us and entertained Mia on the playground during the game!

This morning I started off with an ultrasound and x-ray of my kidneys to check on the stones. 


I then had to go straight to the urologist to see what the next plan of action was.  He said it appeared that I still had one stone, but since my symptoms have gotten better, it could also just be a calcification.  So we are going to check back with another US and x-ray in a month.  If my symptoms come back, we will go in and remove the stone, if not, we will just wait and watch.

After the appointment, my friend Aubrey needed me to keep her sweet little Gracie for a little bit while she worked.  I loved it because Gracie is such a sweet and super cuddly little thing.  Something I am totally not used to considering Mia was NEVER a cuddler!  We came home for a little bit, fed Gracie and Finley, put Gracie down for a nap and got Mia ready for our play date with Lori, Brinlee and Nadia.



After nap we met up with some fave girls for lunch and park play time!

I mean will you just look at those cheeks?!  And eyes and lips!!! So cute!


At the park with Brinlee and Nadia!




On the ride home I told Mia we were going to go home and take a nap/have quiet time.  She said “I don’t WANT to take a nap!  I’m NOT TIRED!!”

You’re right girlfriend, you are NOT tired.

Once we were up and in a better mood, Mia played with Sam and Finley played in her bumbo!


How cute is this baby???

And why on earth is she so big already?!
