Labor "less" Weekend with Uncle Kurt

I am a little behind on posting, but this pretty much sums up our Labor Day weekend. We were blessed with one day of semi-sun on Friday, and took full advantage of our beach time. The rest of the weekend we enjoyed the Auburn win, cooked and played with Uncle Kurt. It was so nice just to relax and enjoy spending time together as a family.

Tropical Storm Lee was a doozie, and when we returned back to Birmingham, we lost power for two days. Wyatt entertained himself by stomping around in his rain boots and pretending to watch cartoons. He wasn't nearly as excited as we were when our power was restored :)

Kick Start to Summer

Me and my sweet Lily girl :)




I hope that you all had a wonderful Memorial Day! I am so grateful to all of those in uniform, and overwhelmed by the sacrifices that have been made to secure our freedom. My daddy is a veteran, and I am thankful for his service to our country.

We had the kind of weekend that made me never want to return to the 'real' world. Mark smoked his famous boston butt, we enojoyed our new patio furniture (thanks, AL state tax return :) ate a ton of amazing food and spent the rest of the holiday with the Bufkin's on the lake.

Food, family and good friends is a great way to begin the summer, don't you think?

Baby, its COLD outside!

It's been awhile since I have felt the crunch of icy frost under my boots, or the sting of freezing air on my cheeks. It is certainly not something that I miss. I am a Southern girl through and through, and I dread the cold winter and all that comes with it.

The low on Friday is a frigid 8 degrees here in Central Alabama! BRRRR. As Mark is plotting his hunt this weekend, I am planning to not leave the house.at.all. We are stocked up on diapers, milk, bread and Leap Frog DVD's... and we will be warm and toasty. If my crazy husband wants sit outside waiting on a prize-winning Buck in rut while turning into a popsicle- so be it :) As for me and this little guy- we will be as cozy as two bugs in a rug. If anyone is up for hot chocolate and a big long play date on Saturday- c'mon over!
