Just Look At This Crew

By Courtney 16 Comments

Only a few more weekends of summer left, so we’ve been trying to soak them up as much as possible over here!

IMG_2503

After a rainy Friday, we were thrilled for some nicer weekend weather. Jay was out for a good majority of Saturday, so it was just the boys and I. And we tried to spend as much time playing outside as possible.

IMG_2512

Of course, we had some play breaks inside, too, and both of the boys are currently obsessed with the Busy Train Book and Busy Car Book from Usborne. It keeps both of them busy for hours minutes on end. ; )

IMG_2507

Jay ended up getting home a little before dinner time, and I was treated to a delicious steak, potato, and roasted asparagus dinner that he completely took care of prepping for us.

IMG_2517

SO good!!

On Sunday morning, I ended up waking shortly before 6am and couldn’t get back to sleep thanks to some pesky post-nasal drip (UGH). So I figured, since I couldn’t sleep, I might as well take advantage of the quiet time and headed to the basement for a workout (I ended up doing this Jessica Smith workout for the first time and I loved it!).

IMG_2521

Of course, about halfway through the workout, I heard the heavy footsteps of a certain four year old who was also awake a bit early…

IMG_2523

So he came down to join me. My buddy <3

We also tackled another fun project this weekend which has been on my to-do list…and that was to update the wall in our foyer with some new pictures. Here’s the before, which had some outdated wall art (from back in the day with my Live, Laugh, Love obsession).

IMG_2419

And here is the after!

IMG_2498

I printed off some prints from Alex’s first birthday/family photo shoot (photo cred: Danielle Simmons Photography!) and finally ended up finding these picture frames at Walmart for less than $10 a piece!

IMG_2500

I love, love, love it.

Later, during Alex’s nap, I worked on putting together a brownie trifle dessert to bring to a neighborhood gathering later in the day…

IMG_2525

And also spent some one on one time with my buddy outside.

IMG_2527

Once Alex was up, the boys spent some time harassing poor Cody (he’s SO good with them!)…

IMG_2529

And then we were off to go play with the neighborhood crew!

IMG_2533

We had some delicious apps and drinks to snack on while the kiddos played.

IMG_2534

And all sorts of yummy stuff for dinner, including pulled BBQ chicken, garbage bread, homemade mac & cheese, potato salad, and more.

IMG_2537

Oh, and watermelon, too.

IMG_2536

A little later, it was time to break into the desserts!

IMG_2538

Just look at this crew of boys. Man, they are adorable.

IMG_2543

And they sure love their cake. <3

IMG_2549

Oh, and hey, all of their parents are pretty awesome, too. We seriously have the BEST neighbors (photo cred: Lucas) <3

IMG_2548

And that’s a wrap!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and has an awesome week ahead. : )

    My son is obsessed with the 1,2,3 count tummy time book! He's only 2 months but he stares at it. I love Jessica Smith videos. I'm going to check that out because I need a new one to do tomorrow (maybe.. if I get up early enough ha!) Such a fun summer weekend. Is Alex still on 2 naps or is he down to one?

      Hey Heather! He's pretty much down to one now. If he gets up really early he definitely needs two naps but doesn't usually like to go down in the morning ;) So those days can get a little tricky! But for the most part, he usually goes down between 11:30-12:00 and naps for anywhere between 2-3 hours :)

    Looks like you had a good weekend! I went to a resort a little north of me for a night and got a massage and sat in the hot tub. It was perfect. I also spent some time hanging out with a new man in my life (shhh) which was a lot of fun.

    so is the preggo lady adding another boy or a lonely girl ;) how fun to have a neighborhood. While we adore our slice of heaven I am sure our kiddos would LOVE to have neighborhood kids to play with occasionally. Perhaps someone will buy the land next door and build a house in the future :)

    Mmmm garbage bread <3 I think that's a NY thing because since I have moved, you rarely see anything like that and everyone looks at me strange when I talk about it. I miss the crazy NY food! Have you ever been to Rochester and had a garbage plate?? If you are ever near there you MUST get one. I'm drooling thinking about them!
