It was so nice having this Monday off. Today, we didn't really do a whole lot. Just stuff that needed to be done around the house. I had to work on Saturday, after we visited J's parents the first half of the day, and then on Sunday it was Jonathan's turn to teach our Sunday school class. Georgia stayed at J's parents the rest of the weekend so we spent most of today (Monday) waiting for her to come home and doing some yard work.

Hanging out with these boys is the best.

Curls before school. So fancy!

We're very much enjoying brother being in school and getting some one on one time. Funny side note: both boys are missing their big sister now that school is back in session BUT Barrett is not showing any signs of missing Milam. Ha. Poor, Milam!

He had a great first two days of school. It was a short first week. 

More one on one time with the baby nugget.

"Frozen" hot chocolate for the win!

Five year appt was a rough one. They sprung some "routine blood work" on us and it did not go well.

Still upset about it while I was trying to run on the treadmill.

SO glad I caught his "thinking" face. Love him!

Casual, fall movie night.

Headed to Jonathan's parents house.

Couldn't you just eat him up!?

Fell asleep eating.

It was a nice long weekend!

Our Weekend - Birthday Boys!

My two biggest boys had a great birthday weekend. I loved their birthdays being on Saturday and Sunday this year. We had a grandparent lunch on Saturday. We had chips and hot dogs because that is what Milam loves and Jonathan isn't picky.

Another celebration after church Sunday with more family.

Rewinding back to the Friday pick up line. These crazy boys waiting for sister.

This photo of mom life and all the things we use on the regular. Gotta keep them close by!

For their birthdays the boys wanted to ride BMX so that's what we did! Milam took first and Barrett took first place in his first balance bike race!

It was a late night for Barrett boy. Jonathan is driving and holding his hand.

Our last picture with Milam as a four year old.

I snagged another Sally Hansen Insta Dri. This one is Just in Wine. I needed to start inching my way into the fall vibe.

Sunday at church we had Milam's bible presentation. It's for the kinder kids.

HEB brought the samples back!

After swimming at my brother's house.

And, of course Sunday photos.

It was a good one! Happy Monday, everyone.

Week in Review

 Jonathan has long weekends in the summer. He doesn't work on Fridays so all the days kind of start to run together. And, for some reason when I added these photos they were out of order and I don't have the energy to fix them.

Milam got out of the car and said what all red heads say when they get in the sun, "man, it feels like I'm going to get sunburn!" So, we got him a new hat. I've actually been wanting to buy him this hat for awhile and oddly enough, he loves it. Jonathan bought me this ONE (different pattern - can't find mine) and I'm so excited to wear it to the beach soon. 

On the way to church and cannot stand how old Georgia looks. It's crazy!

Super frustrating to find out Barrett was behind on a few vaccines on accident. One from 12 months and one from 15 months. Anyway how, we got him caught up and he wasn't thrilled about it but smarties help. Just keep a few in your purse always. They can cure a lot.

I love that Georgia and my niece are almost exactly a year apart. Nice having a built in friend.

My mom found one of pawpaw's head lamps and thought Milam would love it. She was right. So dang cute.

The 10 minute car nap that ruined the rest of his day.

We walked around The Woodlands at some point. Got the kids Starbucks and they felt so cool. Barrett was super entertained by the ducks.

Jonathan and I went with some friends to celebrate a guy from his bible study's birthday. Great food, entertainment, and company.

I posted way too much on instagram about being sad that we had to cut 2/3s of our beloved pecan tree down. The short story, I'm now a tree lover and am so sad the freeze killed our heat loving lack of rain thriving pecan tree and new build neighborhoods make me sad. The end.

Milam being an adorable little Texas boy and digging up some crawfish. So cute.

My kids snuggled the other day for over 30 minutes. It was the best.

We colored. Can you tell which one got in trouble for eating the markers?! 😂

...and went to McDonalds. Parenting at it's finest. 

Milam's preschool class had a park play date...which was pretty pointless because I brought this guy. So hard to keep up with him and my two other kids. So hot and so tired.

We've started independent reading time so I made Milam a "reading nook". Just his sheep skin rug, an extra throw pillow, and his crazy tacky Walmart wolf blanket he picked out (he's sitting on it). It made him excited to snuggle up and "read".

That's a wrap!
