Week in Review

Since I hadn't gotten to do any link-up's this week or even more an entry I thought I would do a quick week in review.

Sunday--Bobby & I headed to his sister's house to finish putting her roof on.  He worked hard...while I set in the grass and read my book.  I am reading The Help.  I have been having a hard time getting started on it.  I just haven't been able to find the time to sit down & really get into it.  I want to watch the movie, but I gotta read the book first.  For some reason lately reading has made me SUPER sleepy.  I ended up laying on my blanket & taking a nap.  After they got finished with the roof I headed to work.

Reading/Relaxing (or as Bobby says it "being a nerd")

Bobby & Bobby Joe working hard

Monday--My wedding favors ARRIVED!  They turned out PERFECT!  Here is a sneak peak...watch for pictures after the wedding or if you attend be sure to pick one up!!!

Thursday--I went for my second job interview today.  They are supposed to let me know something next week.  If I get the job I will not be starting until after the wedding/honeymoon.  I have been praying about this a lot.  It is in God's hands now.  I know he will provide for us.

Spencer wanted to hang his squirrel/bird feeder in the wood close to the house.  He was glad to get it up.

Friday--Spencer had a check-up with his allergy doctor.  He said everything looked good for this time of year.  Spencer had some drainage, but he said with everything blooming that was expected.  He did change his medicine around a little.  We go back in two months & hopefully he will be decreasing some of his medicine after everything is done blooming.

There's a smile...Happy Boy :)

After his doctor's appointment we headed to the Dollar Tree to look for wedding stuff.  I FINALLY found my flowers.  I have been looking EVERYWHERE for the last two months & couldn't find anything that I liked.  I bought all they had, but I will have to keep searching for some more!

Exactly what I have been looking for...and CHEAP!

The kids Easter parties were at school on Friday, but by the time we got back they were over...Spencer had already said he didn't want to go back to school anyways.  Therefore we didn't get in any hurry to rush back home.  While we were in town we stopped at my mom's work for a quick visit.  Then Spencer wanted wings from Rally's.  After a fun filled day I took Spencer to Nanny & Pa's because it was their weekend with their daddy.

Watch for a post about the weekend.  We (as in Bobby and I) are going shopping tomorrow for wedding stuff....This could be VERY interesting!!!

Miss Crafty Morgan

Morgan went to spend the weekend with Meme and they went to a painting class together.  These are the pictures I got through text messages.  Morgan is definitely going to be the crafty one in the family.

High Five Friday (3/23)

It's Friday!!!  Which means it's time to link-up with Lauren at From My Grey Desk for

Here are my 5 favorite things from this week.

1.  My wedding favors have been ordered & shipped.  They should be here Monday.  (Sorry NO pictures,  until after the wedding).  They are exactly what I wanted...a little expensive, but worth it!

2.  I went for a job interview yesterday!  It is A LOT closer to home & the hours are better.  Hopefully this will be the answer to all our prayers.  I am ready to be closer to home and to be able to spend more time with my family.

3.  It's tanning season again.  I made my first trip to the tanning bed this week.

4.  The kids have 1 more week of school until Spring Break.  We don't have any big plans, but we will find something to do close to home.  We already have a week full of activities planned in Chicago in June.

5.  The wedding is 44 days away.  I have accomplished a lot, but still have a lot to do.

Here is a short run down on what I have accomplished the last 2 weeks...girls dresses are here & fit, my dress is here & fits, Spencer's tux is here & fits, photographer booked, invitations mailed, favors ordered & honeymoon booked & paid for.

Things that still have to be done...find Bobby a tux, everyone needs shoes, flower (having a hard time finding what I want), order cake, order napkins/plates/cups, hair pieces for the girls, baskets for the girls.

Happy Friday!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend.  

Don't forget to grab my button in the top right corner.  If you read my blog & have a button of your own let me know so I can add it to my Button Love tab!

Since there are NO pictures in my top five favorite things of the week.  I will leave you with a picture of my five favorite people :)

High Five Friday (3-16-12)

Today is my first link-up with Lauren at From my Grey Desk Blog for...

5 Great Things From the week...

1. My wedding dress arrived in the mail today. It fits perfect & is exactly what I wanted. It fits great (sorry no pictures of me with it on)I am so please with it.

2. Bobby & the kids built my arch for the wedding. I love it!!!

3. I'm loving my new hair cut/style. I can't wait to be able to finally wash it tomorrow though.

4. The kids were out of school today...which means we got to sleep late. This doesn't happen often around here. Usually on my days off I have to get up to get them on the bus. It was great sleeping in until 8 am.

5. The Vow has got my attention at the moment. I tried to start reading it a couple of weeks ago & couldn't find the time to get into it. I started it again on Wednesday & am almost finished. I can't wait to see how it ends & then see the movie. So far it's a great book.

Have a wonderful weekend & enjoy the beautiful weather.

Building Project

We have a pile of old lumber in our yard and I wanted an arch made for the wedding with it.  Bobby and the kids got to work this afternoon and built it.  Morgan was his little helper.  I LOVE the finished product....exactly what I wanted and a whole lot cheaper then buying/renting one.

New Hair Cut

The weather is getting warmer & the wedding is getting closer so it was time for a new hair style. I LOVE my new hair cut (thanks Heidi).

On the way home I stopped to get supper & movies.  I rented Footloose & The Smurfs.  Footloose was a great movie.  I have not seen the first one yet, but now I will definitely be watching it.

Saturday Fun

The girls dresses are here and they are adorable.  I love them!  They love twirling around the living room & watching the flowers fly in their dresses.  I am pleased with them & so are the girls.  They are going to wear flip-flops.  I am still trying to decide if they will be pink or white.

After trying on their dresses they went outside to play.  When I looked out the window this is what I saw.

They were rolling in the mud like a bunch of pigs.  The smiles on their faces are priceless.  I looked out the window a few minutes later & saw this.

Needless to say they didn't get to stay outside long, because it was 60 degrees, they were wet & had undressed.  They had mud everywhere.  It was on the vehicles, house, windows & doors.  They stopped the shower up with all the mud.  I wish I would have took a picture of them sitting in the kitchen floor waiting their turn to shower.
