Wordless Wednesday

We had such a great weekend. My new hubby is a ton of fun ;) Just kidding lol. Chris just has a new lease on life that I am loving! We headed out Thursday night to go to the in-laws. We took a detour cause we were trying to find a place to eat. Before this would have never happened because it added a good 1.5 hours to our trip. That is by the time we found a place, ate and got back on track. Anna stayed up until 11 that night. She had had a 3 hour nap earlier in the day so she was a bit hyper.

Friday, was fabulous. We spent the morning and afternoon with my in-laws. Around 6 we (Chris, Anna and I) headed to Augusta to the festival they have and later the fireworks. It started raining right after we got there lol. At one point it was raining so hard we had to hide in the parking garage with a few 100 people. It cleared up so that we could have a hot dog and go down to where the fireworks were going to be. We spread out our blanket and enjoyed our time together before the show started. It was a spectacular fireworks show. Probably one of the best I have ever seen. Anna loved the fireworks. At one point she got a little antsy cause they were booming fast and furious. She settled down though and started pointing out all of her favorites.

Saturday we went shopping and to visit Aunt Cinny (Cindy). We cooked out that night. That night Chris decided to take us to the Pink Dipper. They have the most amazing chocolate and peanut butter ice cream called charlie brown. It was a great detour. That was another late night for Anna with her sugar high lol.

Sunday we went to my in-laws church. It felt weird not being at our church. Anna was confused she kept asking for Brookes one of the boys at our church. We at dinner and Chris and I went to take some pictures of a cabin that a friend of the family built.

All in all it was just a great relaxing weekend. Hope you all had as much fun as we did!

Happy Independence Day

Hope you enjoy a day with your family and friends!!!

Wordless Tuesday and Wednesday

Wordless Tuesday and Wednesday

Little bit o' this and a little bit o that!

I should be doing housework right now but I just am not feeling it lol. I have peace in the house and I am savoring it.

I have some things in my life and in a few lives around me that I need prayer for. I can't go into details at this time but there are 2 young ladies that need some extra prayer for 2 totally different reasons. I know it would be easier for you to pray for them if you knew what was going on but I really can't share. That is all I can say about that.

Anna and I went swimming alone this morning. This doesn't happen often because I try to share the joy of the pool with our friends. I thought we would go see a movie today so I didn't invite anyone over. Anna had other ideas. She wanted to go swimming and pretty much started talking about it right after we got up. She is doing such a great job in the pool. I really hope she does as well when we start the lessons. I just had to share one of the games we play in the pool with ya'll. We go out towards the deep end sometimes in it and sometimes right before the drop. She will say "Mommy, don't get me" translation being: Mommy come get me lol. So I will say "Oh yes I am going to get you" She will squeal and start swimming as hard as her little legs and arms will go. I will go under the water and she will pull her feet and butt up out of the water as high as she can get them (basically going into a floating position). I will swim under her and past her and come up. I will look all around the pool and start to "panic" calling her name and looking right and left. She will then either laugh or scream behind me and I will act all surprised and shocked that she was behind me. She absolutely loves it lol. I guess she thinks she got one over on me ;)

On to brighter things. Anna learned how to spit out watermelon seeds yesterday lol. She was very excited about her new skill. She ate a whole slice of watermelon absolutely thrilled every time she came across a seed lol. As a side note I will probably have watermelons coming up all over my back yard at some point lol.
