Recap That Doesn't Want To Work

Well I had a post ready to put up and even uploaded the pictures.

But for some reason the pictures do not want to work correctly. They are there but when I preview the post they aren't showing up.

I'm sure it's user error. I'll try to get it working and have it up for tomorrow.

Y'all have a great day!

Flywheel and Fireproof

Let start off by saying, I had a great weekend!

It was my birthday weekend. And we had a wedding to go to as well. My in-laws kept the boys all weekend. They left Friday after school and did not bring them home till Sunday afternoon.

Friday night Hubs and I grabbed a bite to eat in town and then ran some errands. We also managed to get our grocery shopping out of the way. We didn't get home till almost eleven. I know we are such party animals.

Saturday, we just hung around the house and did somethings here and then we went to the wedding and then Hubs took me out to eat for my birthday. I was torn between going to Saltgrass Steakhouse or Carino's Italian Restaurant. We ended up at Carino's. They have one of my favorite pasta dishes, Spicy Shrimp and Chicken. SOOOOO GOOOOOOD.

Sunday the boys came home and we decided to watch a few movies. A friend from Church had loaned us Courageous and when I gave it back to her, she had Flywheel and Fireproof.

Both movies were so good. I love the message each one sends. Another great part of these movies it that they are appropriate for the entire family. The boys loved watching them and I loved having them watch with me.

If you haven't seen Flywheel and Fireproof, don't wait another minute. They are worth it!

Errands, Courageous, and church

So I have lots of things swirling around in my head but I don't know that I can formulate them all into a post.

Friday night R2 had a friend spend the night. We took the boys out to eat at a place where they serve peanuts like a Mexican food restaurant would serve chips and hot sauce. The cool thing about the this place is that you just throw the peanut shells on the floor. But when you take two 7 year old boys, one almost 12 year old boy and a grown man to a place where it's OK to throw peanut shells, we will just say shells were a flyin'.

Then Saturday R1 had to be up at school at 7AM for UIL. I would say 7AM is a terrible hour to be awake on a Saturday, but I was up at 5AM. Which is even worse. I'm one of those people that when I wake up I'm up and can't go back to sleep. So I took R1 to school and then stopped and got donuts for breakfast. Because on Saturday morning at 7:30 nothing says breakfast of champions like fresh donuts.

While R1 was at UIL, Hubs, R2, and I took care of some errands. One of them being grocery shopping. We made it through produce, the meat department, and down the bread aisle when R1 called me to say they were leaving the school where UIL was being held and would be back at their school in about 40 minutes. I have never seen two people cover and entire grocery store in about 35 minutes. I must have looked a mouse in one of those maze things trying to find the cheese. Let's just say I was moving pretty quickly up and down the aisles.

Anyway, we made it and got to school to pick him up. Then we went home to unload all of the stuff we bought and then Hub's grilled chicken for dinner. Right in the middle of grilling dinner, his propane tank ran out. He usually has a spare but for some reason this time he didn't. And being the nice wife, I went back into town and exchanged a tank for him.

After dinner we all watched the movie, Courageous. If you haven't seen it, it is a MUST see. It was so good. I cried through most of the movie. At one point R1 looked at me and asked, mom are you crying AGAIN??? The boys even liked it despite my crying.

Sunday was church and then I had to go back into to town to find a red shirt for baseball. I have a friend who designs rhinestone T-shirts. She is making me one that says "CARDINAL BASEBALL". I can't wait! But I had to find a shirt for her to use. Believe it or not I found at the first store I went to and it was only $9.00.

Then I came home and did the never ending laundry and I wanted to watch a new show that will come on ABC on Sunday's at 9PM - central time. But I never made it to 9 o'clock. I feel smooth asleep in the recliner at 8:45PM. Thank goodness for the DVR.

So I hope y'all had a good weekend, I'm off to watch this new show. And I'll let ya know if it's any good.

Fashion Friday- again.

OK here it is, two weeks in a row.

I have found a few cute things this week. It's been so dang freaking hot here I've started thinking about the dreaded "S" word...swimsuits.

Shudder, OK moving on.

I have so many outfits pinned on Pinterest and I found this on Old Navy. It's so cute.


I love love love Yellowbox Flip Flops. I own so many pairs, Hubs says I could have my own shoe store in size 8 1/2.
I'm not gonna link to the next few things but I found them all on the Avenue.

Is it really March?

I totally blew it yesterday with not blogging something about it being February 29th and Leap Day/Year.

Yea, that's how I roll. Forgetting things.

But what I can't get over is that it's March. Seriously, what in the heck happened to January and February.

This year is just flying by.

That and yes folks, it's spring training time. Woo Hoo! Baseball season is less than a month away.

This year the boys both just happened to get picked for the Cardinals, different divisions but both on the Cardinals. You would think that would make me happy, one parent shirt.

I really want to find one that says Cardinal Baseball in bling. Hmmmm. I have a friend that designs blingy t's.

Gotta run, I need to call my friend.
