Wonderful Weekend!

We had the GREATEST weekend. As I stated Friday it was 70 degree's in our neck of the woods. My goodness it was amazingly beautiful out, ALL WEEKEND & again, 70 degree's!

My weekend started on Friday night. My mom, our friend Kim, along with myself headed over to my sister in law Tiffany's to hang with her. She has been home from the hospital for a week recovering from her hip surgery. It's been so hard for her but she is recovering nicely. She has had alot of support from family & friends! We enjoyed ordering pizza, eating strawberry cake, & playing Phase 10- my favorite card came EVER!!!! She enjoyed girls night! I took a few pics!

Tiff with her little baby, Dixie!

Us gals!

With her crutch, bless her heart!

She received so many cards & flowers! She probably got 20 arrangements in the hospital!

Saturday was a blast! My friend Alyssa's husband went golfing for the day with my hubbs so us girls got up & around & headed out with her kids. Alyssa has 3 kids that are adorable. I kind of joke & call myself, "Aunt Ashley". They love me to death & Alyssa loves Avery to death! I have been so blessed to become close friends with her because she is also a stay at home mom like me. We have found a lot in common with each other & have leaned on each other for support. It's been a lifesaver for me. She has had so much experience raising the 3 on her own, that she has offered amazing advice to me with Avery. I don't know where I would be without her support in my life over the past 6 months. She is my work out partner too! We TRY to hold each other accountable! So Saturday we took the kids to Chick-Fil-A for lunch & then headed to the park for the day! We had SO much fun!!!

Saturday night we celebrated Chad's Dad's 65th BDAY with his family! We enjoyed hotdogs & hamburgers & spending time with the family. I mentioned it once & will say it again... Chad has the BEST family! This was the first BDAY that his Dad had 3 grandaughters there, (2 for the first time). It was very special & we enjoyed just hanging out! I didn't get any pics, we were all so busy eating & talking!

Avery on Saturday ready for "St Patty's Day"...

Alyssa's youngest Halle- ADORABLE! She was getting bored!

Mother & Son...

Sunday we enjoyed the morning at church. It was a WONDERFUL service. I just love our Pastor. I attend an amazing church in our town. If you are interested in hearing a sermon or learning more visit HERE.


Following church we went to hit golf balls with Chad. My husband loves to golf!


Then we went to one of my favorite places, the waterfall! We love this place & it has a trail. Chad & I visited alot when we first met. I tried to capture alot of pics while I was there!!!

This tree was SO cool to me!





My girlfriend Allisha,(& my neighbor), who I adore was there too with her family so we got some cute pics!! Her daughter is 13 months & is precious!












Ended the fabulous weekend grilling, my favorite!

Finally, some warm weather!

It is 70 degree's in NWA today! Can you believe it? This morning I had a lunch date with a friend & we did some shopping in Fayetteville afterwards. It was so nice having the sunroof open & cruising through town! We went to this adorable antique store that I plan to do a post on next week sometime. I can't wait to show you these pictures! There was some awesome furniture that is from the East & West coast that were to die for!

After lunch & shopping we came home & Avery & I decided to go on a nice jog in my jogging stroller! She loved her shades & her cute little hat! She was laughing & making all kinds of noises!

This evening we are spending time with Aunt Sassy, (AKA, TIFFANY). She is still recovering from her hip surgery so we are going to go over there & have some girl time! Us girls are going to play cards, eat some Strawberry cake, & order in some dinner! We may throw a movie in there!

Have a great weekend!

I LOVE consignment!

Last night my gal pal Alyssa & I went up to this huge consigmnent sale that takes place in NWA twice a year! When I say huge, I mean BIG! There are thousands of people that consign in this event & tons of cute clothes that look like they have been worn once. Some even have tags on it! I thought I would share some of the adorably sweet things I got for Avery for the summer. It was so fun buying 12 months but at the same time it was sad to think she wil be a year old this summer. I didn't get a ton of clothes because believe it or not we are loaded up for spring/summer! Also you have to be picky at these sales because some of it you can get at Carter's brand new cheaper than they are marked at these sales! But I had to share some cute goodies! I also bought her some toys which I didn't take pictures of, sorry! =(

I am so excited about all these little outfits & have ribbon lined up for some fun bows to make the outfit...

Loved the floral print! She will be in style this spring/summer!
Someone made this, but I loved the white & saw a beach picture of her in this!
WAY cuter in person, simple & innocent with some little white sandels!
Cute for the beach!

Again, floral print for this years "style" (HA)! One of her swimming suits for the summer, sassy & classy!

Bought this just for Daddy! We are ready for green month!
My favorite! I want a picture of her in this with no shoes and a big bow!

Sorry I didn't have the flash up on this picture but I bought this adorable mesh looking bow for some fun pictures! Thought I would try it on here this morning before breakfast!

After breakfast she played in her bed & I caught her climbing up her bed... she had just fallen when I took this- stinker! Good thing we lowered the bed this weekend!

She was so cute today before we left the house, I had to get a picture of her playing!

Little of this, little of that!

Today we had lunch with 5 of my sweet girlfriends! We all met up in Fayetteville for our normal monthly gathering. We always have such a great time!

While we were there a girl walked up to our table & said that she recognized all of us! She has been following our blogs! She doesn't currently have a blog, but found ours somehow. How neat is that? Seriously we kind of felt like "blogger celebs"-(HA)! Her name is Amy & she was just a doll!







Avery is 9 months old today! I can't believe it. She has changed in so many ways over the past 2 months alone. She isn't crawling yet, but trying so hard! She gets on all four's & moves back & forth. It's too cute! She is saying her usual, "Momma, Dadda, baba, bye-bye,". She's weighing in at about 19 lbs at this point. We go back to the doctor for our 9 month check up on Monday. She loves to eat! She is eating all kinds of goodies. She loves squash & sweet potatoes but her favorite is apple blueberry! YUMM! She has started playing little games with us. She will take her bib & pull it over her head & start laughing so hard. I just get a kick out of it. And of course when I start laughing, she starts laughing even louder. TOO FUNNY! She also has developed a "fake" cough. She does it frequently because she has learned that it worries her momma & I have to say, "Are you okay sweetheart"? So I have stopped doing that & saying, "YOU ARE FINE, SILLY!" It's hilarious. Her hair is starting to come in a tad bit. I think we have a sandy blond on our hands. It's pretty cute! I love it with her baby blues. They are just gorgeous. Of course I am partial though. She is sleeping 13 hours a night which is a dream come true! She still uses her fufi, (passy,) & I think it's her best friend. She is still wearing some 6 months comfortably but is starting to roll into the 9 months pretty quick. She likes to eat little mum mum snacks along with her strawberry banana cherrio snacks that disolve in her mouth. She also likes to sneak a sip of my tea! I think she is a momma's girl but when Daddy comes home from work she is on Cloud 9!

Along with her turning 9 months old today, it is also my adorable father in-laws 65th BDAY today! He is so special. I am blessed to have in-laws that are amazing. They are so caring & giving. I love everything about them & don't know where I would be without them in my life. I realize why Chad is such an amazing father & husband, because he had great parents who raised him with morals & values in such a christian based home. We are so blessed! So, Happy Birthday PAPA! We love you more than words!!!!

Here is a picture of me & Avery with Papa:

Happy March!

With each new month comes a new fun table in my breakfast room! I love Holiday's & any reason to dress up for them or decorate for them! The fun thing about this table is that I got EVERYTHING at the Dollar Tree for $1.00!!! I love to find cute ways to make something inexpensive look amazing!!! It's kind of a hobby!

Happy March!!!
