Flashback Happy Birthday

This day seven years ago my little nephew made his debut in the world:

Today, he is still a precious little soul and always has a smile on his face. No matter how many trials have come in his little life, his spirit hasn't been shattered. It reminds me that we are all to have faith like a child.

Happy Birthday Blake! We love you!

Niece Weekend!

My mom, my sister-in-law, and my sweet niece came to visit this weekend. It was mostly a girls weekend because Jason was busy studying for his certification in a little over week. On Saturday morning, we went shopping at the Allen Outlet Mall. They were having a major sale at the Children's Place store and Kaydence practically got a new wardrobe for school this year. She starts kindergarten in the fall and I can't believe it. It feels like yesterday that she was born. Anyways, we shopped for several hours and I even got myself a dress and a scarf. We went to Chick-fil-a for lunch and then introduced Kaydence to the game of Trouble.

I am sad to say she didn't win that game. My mom beat us all =). We chilled at the house for a bit until it cooled down outside and then we did the thing that Kaydence had been wanting to do all day - swimming!!

They left on Sunday after church and I was sad to see them go. I had such a blast with them and hope they can come down again soon. Love you guys!

Weekend update with Elizabeth

This weekend:

We saw Inception on Friday night with some friends. That movie was awesome! You should go see it.
I did FIVE loads of laundry. FIVE. How Jason and I have accumulated so much that required 5 loads of laundry is beyond me.
We took a swim in the pool on Saturday night. The water felt so good and I got to wear my new swimsuit.
I finished a book called The Devil's Queen. It was alright. I started a new book called Her Mother's Hope.
I watched 3 hours of Friends episodes while I cleaned my house. It reminded me how much I love that show!!

Hope your weekend was wonderful!

November Please

Last week during the Eclipse movie, they showed the greatest 2 minutes of my life (ok maybe a little hyperbole) during the previews. I can NOT wait to until November. I have been anticipating this event for quite some time and the trailer just continues to taunt me. It is going to be awesome. I'm going to have to start reading all the books soon so I can be done before the movie comes out. Watch the trailer and be very excited!!!
