I love these weekends...

Happy Weekend! If you're fortunate like us, you're enjoying 80 degrees and GORGEOUS weather! The humidity down here in L.A. (lower Alabama) has yet to reach 100+%, so for that we are so very grateful and are soaking up every ounce of outside time that we can.

This week has been blast. The play set was finished on Tuesday, and we have spent literally up until sundown every night this week, outside! Campbell. LOVES. IT! And this mama LOVES the fact that her appetite has totally stepped it up a notch and her sleeping is phenomenal. I mean, seriously, both Ryan and I have had to wake her up twice this week in order to get to work on time.






We kicked off the weekend with a family b'day party in Atmore with my inlaws. Campbell loved seeing her cousins, eating delicious steak and chowing down on some SUGAR! Whew! An almost 2 year old with a big 'ol honkin' chocolate cupcake at 8pm?! Insanity. And, a Chatty Cathy on the 45 mins drive home!




Today we went to Fairhope for the annual Arts and Crafts Festival with some friends. It was wonderful to be outside and get fresh, Spring air. Campbell LOVED sporting her new flip flops. And, yes, they are white (sorry to my fashion-forward friends, I do realize it is pre-Easter/pre-Memorial day). But, really, who can pass up a little Spring-Summer flair on a day in the 80 degree range when your child is wearing sunscreen?!



Hope all is well in your neck of the woods, and you are enjoying this gorgeous weekend!

Spring?! Is that you?

This weather has been incredible! We have loved getting to open our windows, take family walks around the neighborhood, and even starting my Zyrtec/Flonase combo for the season hasn't dampened my spirits.

Well, as we near Campbell's big "2" b'day (and somehow, she already says she's "2" when you ask how old she is), we have been thinking how much fun an outside playset would be for her. And, by looking at this shirt of my "not-so-prissy-girl-child", I think she will never want to come inside once it is built.


(no, she wasn't at the scene of a MURDER, she just decided to finger paint at school with some good 'ol ketchup).


Ryan has a Contractor-buddy who is going to build us a mack-daddy playground! I am so excited! Here is all the lumber and our little cheerleader ready to start building. I can't wait to see the final result in time for her to blow out those big 2 candles.






Campbell continues to bring us such joy everyday with her changes! Though the "terrific" (ha) 2's" have begun and tantrums are definitely presents mostdays... Some of her current milestones are-- She is referring to herself as "Beebol". She likes to go around the house and label different items into categories, "That Mommy's" "That Dada's" "That Beebols". She says, "No Thank You" to most foods she doesn't care for. She LOVES to sing-- her favs are "Are you sleeping?" "Twinkle Twinkle" "The Barney Song" "Jesus Loves Me". She is quick to tell us that she has made a "mess". Potty Training still continues... (as I watch her run by this office naked as a little Jay Bird) it's hard to keep a diaper on her. She is such a helper-- she loves to help me load the dryer, dishwasher, feed O'Malley, cook, etc. We continue to be in awe of this sweet creature the Lord has blessed us with!

Hope all is well (few readers), and that you can enjoy this wonderful weather, whereever you may be. Happy Weekending!!
