Babies, Birthdays, and Braves

It's been a jammed packed summer for us and these past few weeks have been no exception filled with showers, parties, dinner clubs and sporting events. For starters, Trey and I have the cutest nieces and nephews in the world. Little Kevin lives right around the corner from our new house so I was excited when Lisa asked me to babysit. He's such a smiley baby and was no trouble at all. My sister in law Carrie Beth was even able to come over in the afternoon with my nieces Handley and Harper for a playdate. Kevin was a little timid at first but he warmed up and started having fun with the girls.



Next on the baby list was a shower for our good friend and neighbor Lisa, whose baby is due in September. Then, the next day I was able to throw a baby shower for my good girlfriend and bridesmaid Terrie. She's due around our anniversary (August 30) and is having a girl! (along with everyone else we know ;)




Then, to continue the baby saga my cousin Ali had her baby boy who just so happens to be my little godson. I'm thrilled for the honor and was so excited to meet him last week. He's a tiny little nugget and super cute.


As for the parties, we celebrated my oldest brother Jon's birthday and had our dinner club at our house this weekend. It was a success and we had so much fun with all our friends. Trey and I even managed to sneak in a last minute Braves game Friday with Racetrac's amazing seats and front row tickets with our friends Jamie and Katie to the Atlanta Tennis Championship Tournament on Sunday.



It's been a fun summer for sure!

My Lighthouse


A few months ago my girlfriends and I went to this painting place called Just for Giggles in Milton and followed along with an instructor while we painted a wildflower picture. It was so much fun and I have been talking with friends about going back there again. But- tonight I decided to have some fun on my own since Trey was out of town.

I went to Michael's on a good day. I was able to buy canvases and paint on sale and bought a little tray palette for the paints- all for $15! I printed off a picture from the website of Just for Giggles and tried my best to paint it. It turned out pretty good and I had so much fun playing with it. I can't wait to try another one.

Fourth of July in Wilmington

Everyone knows we love the beach and this weekend Trey and I had a great time catching some rays and relaxing with family in Wilmington. The highlight was when Handley kept saying "Happy Birthday America!" and then she asked Robby, "Daddy what's America?" Those girls are too cute. All in all it was a great fourth of July weekend and we can't wait to go back.

Harper loved to roll around in the sand... clearly ;)

Handley loved the water

Trey and I snuck in a morning ride before we left today and took the boat over to Figure Eight. It was so nice and relaxing. We were both glad we did that even though it meant we got home a little later than we planned.
