Ahhh...the weekend...and a few things that made it wonderful
Well we had a fun filled weeked...full of smiles, playing, swimming, tantrums and emotional breakdowns (that was me)...but all in all it was great hanging out with the family. It always amazes me how quickly the weekend flies by!
Through all the bustling around this weekend...here are a few items that made my life a little easier/better...
Puddle Jumpers - This is an item I came across a couple of weeks ago when a friend of mine had one on her 2 year old son. I am very apprehensive around water and the kiddos, so this has helped ease that (somewhat). It is hard enough keeping up with 4 kids on land...put them in water and I can be a nervous wreck. KK is good with floaties (and supervision...obviously) but with the twins, I wasn't sure how that would work...so this helped us ALOT this weekend when we went to a pool party for a friend's birthday party. The boys still like to stay pretty close to mom...I wish I had a picture of them...needless to say I had my hands full :)
GoGo squeeZ - I am LOVING this item right now...ALL 4 of my kids (from 3 years to 9 months) ALL love it and it is a great snack that is easy to pack in their backpacks or the diaper bag. No spoon required...the boys think it is so fun! I also like that it is applesauce plus a fruit (peach, strawberry or banana for this particular brand). I happen to run across them at Target one day and they have become a staple on our grocery list.
Crock-Pot - (sorry for the BAD picture...it was before I washed it tonight) Well I pretty much ALWAYS love this...however, it was so great for us today...we ended up going to the late service for church because of Kev's schedule...so I put on one of our favorite recipes before we left and we came home to a house that smelled wonderful! It made dinner a cinch and the kiddos were happy...can't beat that!
(In case you were curious...Italian Chicken and then I cook up some brown rice when it is close to being done...so easy! Chicken breast (frozen or fresh), pack of cream cheese, can of cream of mushroom, pack of italian seasoning, 1/2 cup of milk all thrown in...it cooks down and is super creamy...yum! I even added in broccoli tonight!)
Family - Well, I don't have a picture handy...but my sweet sister-in-law that watched my kids on Friday so I could help out my dad...and took my daughter to VBS that evening...just to turn around on Saturday and drive out to my house to hang out with my boys so we could go to a surprise engagement party for a friend. (Our original babysitter fell through). She made my life SO much easier/better this weekend. (THANK YOU LINDSAY!) While mentioning sister-in-laws...I should bring up my other one...she kept me sane during mental breakdown Saturday morning with encouraging words and a big hug (THANK YOU KORREE!)
Another thing, I purchased this...
Glamourous Wash - High Maintenance....ahh, it smells amazing! We washed our sheets in it...it is a little pricey honestly...not like I would wash all my clothing in it...but it was perfect for the sheets and it made our room smell amazing!!
Church with my family...our church has started a new message BOLD. It is amazing...it is talking about the Bold actions in Acts. I am really looking foward to next week...BOLD prayer.
Last but certainly not least...was ice cream night with the boys...we headed up to our Sonic tonight to sit on the patio. We beat the heat with lots of yummy ice cream.
Ice cream makes EVERYTHING easier/better :)
Here comes Monday!

Favorites - Weekend Edition
Well we had a great weekend...that consisted of a whole lot of nothing :)
So I figured I would just list some favorites from the weekend...
1.) Target in Moore opened...and I have been there TWICE :) They have the best and cleanest buggies...KK and I went together once and we ended up walking away with favorite #2...
2.) Finger Nail polish...as I mentioned in this post, it is my new obsession. We walked away with two new colors...Ivy League and Plum Power.
3.) My 3 year old daughter has a new word...WhatEVER...so far it is during play time talking to her brothers...hopefully, it will not be used toward me...then it will probably NOT be a favorite...until then...you can see her whatever face (as a fairy, of course)
4.) The boys got their first backpacks and they came in at the end of the week. We decided to pack them up and head down to Granny & Papa's this weekend. They are super excited about it! They love wearing them...
5.) Watching the kids wrestle with dad took up a good part of our Saturday afternoon :) I love Kevin's face...it's all fun and games until Daddy gets hurt...
6.) My family started the day at church. It was the last week of our church's series, At the Movies...it was wonderful!! Now I am relaxing with my hubs and we watched Big Brother...love Sunday!!
7.) Last but not least...
Love the weekends!!

Weekend Re-Cap
Hello and happy Monday to all! I hope everyone had a great weekend....I sure did! It was crazy busy but we all survived it without to many tantrums or tears (myself included!).
Friday started with ALOT of errand running to get last minute things for the baby shower on Saturday, so after I was able to pick everything up and dropped off, I headed home to get ready. For what?? Junior High Pom tryouts of course!
Back in the day....about a million years ago, I danced and participated on school pom squads. I loved it...and still do love dancing, so I always get excited during March for judging junior high pom tryouts...it is amazing these young ladies with SO MUCH talent. I have been judging for about 7 or 8 years and the talent just keeps getting better and better...there were 35 girls that tried out this year. You can just see the sparkle in their eye...so sweet! We were fortunate enough to find a great group of 18 girls that I know will have a blast this year cheering on their school and competing.
Woke up Saturday and it was SHOWER DAY! So off to Tiff's house I went to help set up and once I got there, we both put it in overdrive and got everything set up...and it turned out super cute! I would post pictures...but I left my camera at her house...go figure! But we had a great group of friends come and some brought there kiddos, so needless to say there was never a dull moment. Austin got to meet alot of my friends for the first time! Kev brought the three older kids by towards the end of the shower and they got to play and hang out.
As far as the momma-to-be, she got so many cute things! I love baby showers....all the cute loot! Lots of fun little outfits and blankets and baby necessities...she is so good too, because she already has the nursery done and ready for the baby that is due April 11th....however,baby Evan decided to surprise everyone and make his grand appearance last night! He is 4 weeks early, however, him and mom are doing great! I can't wait to go meet him!
Saturday night, I had the opportunity to hang out with some old, high school friends to celebrate a dear friend's 30th! She is so fun too...she always has themed parties and this year was NEON...and let me tell you, people rolled out with some pretty crazy attire...so fun! I didn't stay to late...not feeling 100%...pretty sure the bug has decided to hit me! But it was still nice to have a chance to see everyone!
In the process of going to bed early Saturday...I forgot about daylight savings time...dang that Spring forward!! We woke up late for our normal church service on Sunday...so we went to the one that followed and ended up being lazy for the remainder of the day....
whew!! Woke up this morning with a LONG lists of to-do's for this week...hoping to get it all done!! I hope everyone is having a productive day!!
Happy Monday!

Ramblings from the weekend....
Well....It is Monday...well actually Monday is almost gone! We had a great weekend....the weather in January here in Oklahoma is a little all over the place. So on Saturday we finally broke the cabin fever and headed outside. We had a blast with all the kiddos (sans Austin...he decided he would rather nap!)
Making sure everything was ready to go
Helping a brother out...
I think someone is going the wrong way
Katelyn doing a little manual labor
Our little homemaker
Sweet Sutton girl enjoying the day
"No brother....don't eat dirt!"
My precious kiddos
So it was a wonderful Saturday...which led into a wonderful Sunday. Church with the kiddos and then home to hang out with Grandma Peggy and Grandpa Ronnie. Then of course KK headed down to Granny and Papa's house and we headed to Sam's. Once we got home and all the boys went to bed, I settled into the couch with one of these...
I have an obsession with these currently...
and turned on
I didn't make it through it...of course I fell asleep...but I did enjoy looking at all the pretty dresses. This post has been picture overload so I will refrain from showing all the beautiful stars that were on last night....you can catch it on pretty much any website right now...but I will leave you with my favorite...
How I love Carrie Underwood and she looked absolutely amazing...so pretty and sparkly!!
Until next time...
