Weekend Rewind - Caught in Storm, Birthday and More

Whew!

Our weekend was a jam packed one.

I'm ready for bed and it's not even 8pm yet!

It started with a little birthday fun as our nephew Reed turned 7.

Shelby was all smiles about her very first birthday party ever!

Look at those 2 teeth!!!!

Warms my heart, I can't hardly stand it!

Reed had his birthday party at The Sports Connection out in Ballantyne.

This place is shenanigans!

As Brad said, a casino for kids!!

Bowling alley, laser tag, climbing wall, ropes course.

WOW.WOW.WOW!

And, they serve adult bevies which makes it even better! 

LOL!

Reeders had a great day.

I was so happy for the little guy!

Even if he did get annoyed with my picture taking.

Niece Paige enjoyed herself too.

Grammy and Paw Paw traveled in.

The highlight of the day was when Reed took on the ropes course.

Gosh, we were all SO PROUD!!!!!!!

The other highlight was cake of course.

I wish I was still 7.

Not a care in the world except blowing out a few candles.

After the party we went home and proceeded to get ready for our date night to see Charlotte Squawks.

GREAT show!

That meant Shelby got an early bath.

And, we had some Mommy and Daddy time.

Today, our neighbors and friends Lu and Keith invited us on their new boat.

We enjoyed lunch at T-Bones beforehand.

Shelby was such a trooper the entire day.

Napped on the run even though it was hot.

She loves her some Miss Lu!

The weather was great at first and Shelby even dipped into the lake for the first time.

She loved it just like she did the pool last weekend.

We were having a great time.

Until the storm rolled in!!!

What a hoot.

Thank goodness it wasn't lightening or I would have been in hysterics.

Instead we all just rolled with the punches and took shelter under a nearby bridge.

I got on the floor of the boat with Shelby and wrapped her in towels to take cover from the storm.

Can you believe she fell asleep??!!

She slept through the entire storm fiasco.

Gosh, we're so lucky to have a laid back baby!

We waited out the storm and headed back to dry land.

Shelby didn't seem bothered by any of it!

Just look at this!!

Thanks to Lu and Keith for taking us out!!

Now we're home, Shelbs is in bed and I'm about to be.

Hope you all had a great weekend too!!

Weekend Smcheekend

Here I am again.

It's Sunday and I'm attempting to document what was our weekend.

We stayed in Charlotte, yet again, but have a fun weekend at the lake planned for this next weekend.

We are EXCITED!

Anyhoo..

Here's our weekend in pictures.

The weather was nice on Friday evening so we pulled Shelby's exersaucer out on the deck.

She's truly obsessed with this thing.

Best gift ever!

Saturday morning I met up with LSU Meg!

She and her friends drove up from Charleston for the weekend.

So much fun!

We spent over 2 hours talking and drinking wine!

Meg gifted Shelby this darling bubble outfit that I put on her for dinner at our neighbor's house.

We're still enjoying the new camera so I had Brad snap a few pictures of me and the Shelbster before we walked to the neighbors.

This picture is a new favorite of mine!

Shelby was one happy camper at the dinner party.

I was shocked at how good!

Don't mind my crazy hair bump.

I got hot walking over so pulled it back..

Wish Brad would have said something.

;)

And, here we are with the babies!!

You might recall, that we got together a couple of months ago with these same neighbors.

Click here for a recap.

Parker is 2-weeks older then Shelby.

We attempted to get a few pictures of the kiddos together.

It started off good.

Then went south!

Shelby was not bothered at all....

In fact, she tried to console him!

LOL!!!

In other news from the weekend we added one of Shelby's school photos to our gallery wall.

We got dressed up and went to church.

And, enjoyed lunch with a friend.

They wouldn't let me bring the stroller in so I had Shelby sit in the high chair.

I thought she 'might' be ready but it turns out she's not.

We used a few table clothes and a changing pad to prop her up.

She didn't mind!

She was GREAT!!

And, that's a wrap!

This week is go time for me.

Knowing that I have to be in a swimsuit this next weekend has be VERY motivated to cut the carbs and the wine this week to shed a few pounds.

I'm also determined to hit the gym every.single.day.in.the.morning!

WISH ME LUCK!!
