A bunch of stuff!

We have been enjoying the days so much lately- minus the 100 degree weather like we had today in NWA.   I think I have something going on everyday this summer... mainly the pool with my sweet girl!  She is just growing up before our eyes.  Can you believe how big she looks in this picture?  She was so precious after church this past Sunday.

This past week!

Sorry there are a few through here that are blurry because I saved them from my Instagram... Which reminds me I am so excited that a lot of you are now following me on there so I can keep touch with the daily stuff in life.  It is so much easier than finding time to get on the computer every night.  But my blog will not stop, it just might not be as often every single day so don't stop following our crazy life!  I have had alot of e-mails on my ID, it's Ashley0513 if you want to follow!  I'm just pumped to see alot of you guys each morning that I don't get time to follow via my computer!

Okay so this weekend we celebrated our friend Keely's Birthday!  Several of us got together in a big group for dinner! It was such a great night with awesome people!

We also got dressed up in make-up on Friday & then headed out to spend the evening on the lake for a beautiful evening boat ride.  Avery loves the boat so much!

And of course I have the 4th of July decorations up in full swing!  

I have been enjoying a few good finds lately too on these hot days!  My most favorite is my new sign!

I made a cool little easy crown goody for fun that is a canvas that I had covered in a thin burlap!

I put them in my bathroom to look at while I am getting ready! They were by my front door but I decided to move them!

I'm loving my new fun wine sign in the Kitchen!  

And of course I have been enjoying my summer scents & burn these all day long all throughout my house!

And Sunday Chad's family joined us at the pool after church!

Thursday is my sister Tiffany's birthday party & Crystal's too! We are going to get together for dinner & a girls night out we are all excited we are needing some Momma/family friend time!  

Speaking of my brother & his wife are doing amazing, how sweet are they & their precious boy?  My nephew is growing too fast, he is 7 months old!  She is throwing the CUTEST birthday party for him for his 1st Birthday I can't wait!!!

Her sister Crystal's sweet baby girl Ella Kate is doing awesome too she is growing so fast! I can't believe how time flies it just isn't fair.  She's just perfect!

So many great things are going on, above all Im just so happy right now.  Content, blessed, thankful & loving life! 

Father's Day & Girls Lake Weekend

I had the pleasure this past weekend to spend the weekend with the girls at our friend Amy's amazing lake house.  It was so nice & relaxing & the perfect weekend although we have had it planned for months & realized the week before it was Father's Day.  So Sunday morning I got up early & headed home so I wouldn't miss that important day!

Side note:

{I have a ton of pictures on Instagram which reminds me, who that follows my blog is an "Instagrammer"?  I would love to know because these days it's so much fun for me to just upload a quick picture there throughout our day.  Blogging has taken a toll on me as far as finding the time to blog, but I won't stop since it's my life journal.  Just curious if you all Instagram out there.  I may be addicted...}


Okay, so we started off Friday night being in the Kitchen, breaking in the trampoline on the lake, enjoying sweets, listening to country music, laughing until our tummies hurt, sitting on the porch, listening to the deer through the woods, & being scared of daddy long leg spiders!  It was also Amanda & Amy's Birthday's  this coming week so I gave them so fun presents!  They both got a set of Lily & Laura bracelets & some cute scarves!  I got them a cake from Shelby Lynn's too that we ate Saturday!

How pretty is her lake resort!?  These are pictures when she first built it because stupid me didn't catch a ton on my camera because I was busy with my feet up looking out this window when I had the chance! =)

My room had a huge glass window wall that woke me up to the sun shining in & seeing nature!

We thought it would be a good idea to go jump on the lake trampoline!  Every time we would jump up we would fall down... good laughs!

Getting there & cooking some dips!

Ready for some lake fun!

Saturday was a big day for us!  We took the boat out & parked it & enjoyed lunch & relaxing in the water!  Then we went to pick up our wake board instructor!! We hired a guy to teach us on the lake all afternoon &  we had beyond a good time! He was amazing at teaching!!!  I am so sore I can barely walk still & it's been 2 days!

Enjoy our fun lake day!

We love you Sean!  Thanks for helping us learn to wakeboard!

And I'm up!

Im laughing because I realized my bottom's were about to fall off from being pulled out of the water!

Afterwards we all enjoyed burgers at JJ's on the lake!

We made Chad a huge breakfast for Father's Day, spent the morning with him, lunch with his dad & then dinner at my parents!  We snapped a few pictures at my parents with Dad & the babies!

Can you believe how huge Avery is?  She is so tall we can barely hold her!  I still rock her sometimes just because...

We got Daddy some clothes & Avery made him this sweet sign & we framed it!  =)   

It was a great weekend!  In the words of my favorite show, Duck Dynasty- I'm "Happy Happy Happy"!
