Our house is on the market! It's been listed for a couple weeks now and we've had showing after showing after showing--which explains why I'm a little frazzled and a lot exhausted! I had no idea just how much we were taking on trying to show a house that we happen to share with two little kiddos. Whew. I can say that our house has never been cleaner, that's for sure. Of course, we've hardly been spending any time at home! The showings are constant so we have to be out of the house a lot, and I also just try to keep the kids out of the house most days just so they can't mess it up. I have been amazed at how messy/dirty it can get in no time at all when they are around. 

Welcome to what has become a bi-monthly (at best) Recipe Round-up. I am nothing if not sporadic.

I loooove this simple recipe for greek chicken, but really it's all about the feta topping. It is perfect on the grilled chicken but is super versatile and can be used in a lot of ways. I originally got the idea from this Pin for feta dip and just tweaked it a teensy bit.

The birthday boy had a nice cheering section with Mar Mar, Papa D, Scott, Melissa, and Emma all in attendance--along with Mommy, Daddy, and Sam of course.






Go Braves! Go #6!

We had a great time celebrating Noah's 4th birthday last week. It was full of cupcakes, presents, singing, and playing!

Monday night after Noah went to bed, Josh & I decorated the doorway of his room for a little birthday surprise the next morning.



He went to school that day and took some cupcakes for his class. I'm pretty sure that he was sufficiently celebrated and loved on at school by his sweet teachers, friends, and of course Aunt Rachel.

That evening was his very first t-ball game, but that deserves a post all it's own. Afterward we went to All Aboard to celebrate the birthday boy and baseball star. The sweet staff there sent him a train whistle and Happy Birthday card via the train, so he was feeling pretty special. He also opened his gift from Mar Mar and Papa D and squealed with delight over "lots of Cars I don't have!!"




Thursday he had his check-up, which we had both been dreading since he had to get shots. He is 42 lbs (89%) and 42 inches (85%). I would describe him the exact same way I did as a 9.5 lb newborn--sturdy. This kid is STRONG, like a bull! He had a vision screening and a hearing screening. He has 20/20 vision but didn't do great on the hearing. I'm pretty sure it is because he was too busy flirting with the cute girl doing the screening and didn't pay attention to the instructions :) She agreed that he was kind of being silly and didn't fully understand what to do, so we are just going to check again when he's 5. When time for shots came, I had a really hard time holding him down. I honestly think he may be stronger than me! But we both survived the shots and he got to pick out a new toy afterward with some of his birthday money.

All week long he asked me repeatedly how much longer until his birthday party. Finally, Saturday morning the time was here! He had a race car party this year--of course! I tried to really keep it simple and just fun for the birthday boy and his friends. We had a racetrack ramp built by Daddy, lots of Cozy Coupes to race outside, racecar decorating, a Lightning McQueen pinata, and cupcakes. Papa D's Mustang provided some impromptu birthday fun too!! Noah had a wonderful time--success! He is blessed to have so many sweet friends who came to celebrate with him.





















Sunday we celebrated all over again at Mimi & Papa Jim's. This is one lucky 4-year-old boy to have so many people who love him and want to celebrate each year of his life! Thank you to all the family and friends who made him feel special.
