Birthday Fun!

We enjoyed a very fun filled weekend! Mike celebrated his 29th birthday! {My handsome old man} I baked a cake, got some dinosaur decorations and we were ready to party. LOL. Mike said that it was like having a party for a 5 year old...

Susan and Adrian came over to help us celebrate! :) Olivia went to bed at 6, so she missed the festivities! :( I cooked Mike's favorite dinner, Alfredo Pasta. It turned out yummy and the boys CLEANED their plates. I bet they would of licked the bowls if us girls weren't around.

We enjoyed yummy pineapple coconut cocktails. MmMm. And played an exciting game of Cranium! :) Oh dont worry, we REALLY know how to have a good time. LOL





Mike said it was the BEST birthday ever! I think I did a good job :)

Thankful Thursday

1. my amazing bakery family. they reminded me how amazing my life is and how wonderful my marriage is and to be thankful that Mike and I's bickering about irrelevant things is the ONLY thing we fight about ;)

2. My Olivia. Oh boy, does she love her Mommy lately? These past 2 mornings, she has eaten her bottle, played around on the ground with her toys then has crawled towards me on the couch and I pick her up and put her on my lap, where she sits and falls asleep close and snuggled up to me.. it makes my heart smile.

3. My Momma. Its funny how much we are alike. 2 days ago, she texted me, but I didn't know it. The next morning, I woke up and realized my phone wasn't near me and said "I miss my Mom" and her text said "I miss you!!" Two peas in a pod ;)

4. My friends. Gretchen and Em gave me a great hug yesterday when I really needed it. Then Gretchen told me a great story and I laughed so hard! And my sweet Susan who has been helping me with Mike's birthday! Thank goodness!

5. For my coffee pot, Mr. Black! WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT CAFFEINE!?!? LOL

6. Chestnut Street Baptist Church! The minute I walked in, the butterflies were gone. They have a nursery for Olivia to stay in and and a great Pastor. Pastor Frank is hilarious. And the worship...PERFECT

That's my thankful thursday! ;) Sorry no pictures. The camera is dead and charging as we speak!

God Bless!

scrap closet!!

I finally bought some great shelving {at a garage sale, like you would expect anything else???} and I got Mike to hang them up for me.

I purge some of my supplies to donate to the elementary school down the street and now I'm free to be creative! :) Here are some quick pics and then it's off to bed for this Momma.

I love it. It's perfect for me!

Have a good weekend everyone!!

God Bless! xoxox

A day in the life

Today was a fun day. I don't really have a true reason as to why, I just loved it. Mike and I didn't stress over what was to be done or who was going to do what. It just worked out. We even fit in an hour nap cuddling with each other on the couch. Can you get any better than that?




This morning was precious. I think Olivia is inheriting my good taste in music. Today, we were blastin' Free Fallin' by John Mayer and she just happened to be IN LOVE with him. It's only right. After all, she is part of me :)

I think she may have an ear infection. We are headed to the doctor tomorrow to find out. I blame our nurse Kim. She wanted to see me and said "Well, I'm sure Olivia will get sick and have to come in.." So she is in BIG trouble. She was pretty crazy but lovey! So we BOTH got great pictures with her :) And in great "Ashlee's trying to grow out her hair" news: My hair is officially long enough for a pony AND a messy bun. My life is good. :)

That's all for now. Olivia is in bed and so is Mike. I'm gonna go cuddle with him. :) :)
