It's July 21st Already?!?

Good Morning Y'all! I promise I haven't left my blog behind...it's just been a super busy month so far though, like I told y'all a couple weeks ago Lane is here for the month of July. :) We started off the month by celebrating 4th of July with a lot of Michael's family at Richland Chambers Lake for the weekend. I'm not a huge fan of fireworks for several reasons so I did my best to enjoy the firework show with included....a beer in my hand. Our 19 year old niece came and stayed the long weekend with us so she got to experience the great time I get to have with my in-laws. I mean my sister-in-law is my total bestie...it's so bad that Michael jokes that she would pick me over him if we were to ever go through the "D" word! 

Lane has also got to spend a few days in Fort Worth with my mom visiting majority of my family. My mom and I have had some issues recently but I am truly grateful that no matter what happens between us she is and always has been awesome to Lane and I can't ask for anything else. :) Anyways...Currently we are gearing up for our family of 3 Galveston Beach trip at the end of the week to go deep sea fishing...for sharks! I am so damn excited, maybe even more than the boys! Lane has been telling everybody that he just knows that I will be the one to catch a shark...just because I'm so effin afraid of them! I'll be posting everything on Instagram, wish me luck!

This month has already flown by...Its hard to believe we're already over half way through the month. But we enjoyed every minute of playing outside with the dogs, swimming with cousins, Lane getting a mohawk, playing on the trampoline with a sprinkler underneath, all of the fishing, shopping for Lane's first pair of football cleats, watching movies together as a family, going to town for the best snow cones on the planet, and cooking on the grill! 

 

P.S. Next week is my 1 year BLOG ANNIVERSARY! I can't even believe it's been a year! But I have truly enjoyed it so much! Be sure and check back for an awesome giveaway to celebrate me and my blog! :)

Twerking and Spanx

Hey sweet friends, I am so sad that I am so behind on reading everyone's blogs, I promise I will get to it very soon. While on the road yesterday between Odessa and Fort Worth I had some time between singing my heart out to get come confessions together for Kathy's Humpday Confessions.

I confess...I think the real reason why my dogs hate riding in the car is because of the lack of singing ability I have.

I confess...at my sister's wedding rehearsal, I twerked in front of her soon-to-be stepdaughter.

I confess...halfway through the wedding reception, I took off my Spanx and was "free balling" the rest of the evening.

I confess...that I'm considering getting a 4' tall redneck pool from Walmart.com because Texas Summers are fucking hot!

I confess...I don't wash my hair but every 3 days or so, because ain't nobody got time for that! But no really it takes me forever and a day to wash this mop.

I confess...that just this week Michael and I have already googled "race of Panda Express's owners", "white beans", "Todd Chrisley gay" and "Justin Bieber's neck tattoo"...I am seriously beginning to think we have a problem with googling shit.

I confess...that I HATE working out and eating "right". It's complete bullshit.

I confess...that we have been so busy lately that all I really want to do right now is to sit on my ass at home and watch some mindless reality TV.

 

When no one is looking...

Good Morning Lovebugs! 

With the Hubs working some crazy hours lately and giving baseball lessons when he is actually off work, I have found myself at home more often then I use to. So, I got to thinking about the things I do when I'm by myself and decided to share a few with you guys.

 I really hope we can all still be friends after this this. :)

When no one is looking…

-I talk to myself in the bath room mirror to see how my face looks while I’m talking.

-I google how to spell….ALOT.

-I put on my favorite pants and check out my ass.

-I have very long and deep conversations with my dog.

-I watch Honey Boo Boo...

-I also smell my dog's paws, because they smell weird! 

-I dance like Beyonce while I’m checking out what is in the fridge.

-I have ate PB & J sandwiches for breakfast.

-I practice accents, if I can’t look like Sofia Vergara I will just try to sound like her.

-I will make faces or mouth words when my husband turns around.

-I have drank wine out of the bottle.

Happy Tuesday!

Make Today Great! :)

Five on Friday

Whooo-Hooo! It's Fridayyy!

Usually I'm not this excited for the weekend especially when I really don't have shit going on, but for some reason I'm in much need of a break from this J.O.B.

It's been awhile but today I am linking back up for Five On Friday with the pretty Darci @ The Good Life.  

{One} It. Is. Texas/OU weekend. Can I get a hell to the YES?! 

I'm so excited to support from the comfort of my outside patio with an extra full glass of wine, instead of fighting all the crazy fans at the Cotton Bowl and State Fair. The Mr. and myself decided a few years ago we are just to cool old to hangout with the first year college students anymore. -Ha!

I assume I will still wear my UT dress...mainly because the Hubs LOVES me in burnt orange. -Hahaha!

{Two}

It was love at first sight when I saw these adorable duck bookends at Goodwill for $3 bucks! I'm really thinking about going crazy and turning them to glitter covered duckies. 

What do ya'll think? 

{Three}

These $89.00 Steve Madden riding boots! Aren't they uber cute?! I will be purchasing this beauties this afternoon while I'm hardly working at work! 

{Four}

I bought and received this super duper cute makeup bag a couple weeks, but like I said it's been awhile since I've linked up. Anyways, Madi over at Madi May Design custom makes these adorable 

makeup/travel bags in tons of different colors and print combos. Before I ordered I was a little worried it wasn't going to be big enough to hold all my products, but it is PERFECT! I can get everything in it and still feed my obsession for anything chevron print. :)

Check out the Etsy store

{Five}

I saw this quote on Pinterest and thought it was so spot on! 

Sure hope all you beautiful people have a GREAT weekend!

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday Everyone!

 

This weekend was JL's first baseball tournament for the Fall, we were all looking forward to it because it meant we were not going to be sun burnt and drenched in sweat from just being outside for 10 minutes. JL has played year around travel baseball for the past 4 years, which makes us very busy...year around. The Fall season is always my favorite mainly because I get to wear sweatshirts the whole weekend. It is the small things in life, right?!

 

We love our #4!

 

Anyways, on Saturday we drew the 4:00 and 8:00 games, which are game times I will never complain about because all that means to me is that I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn.Our 4:00 pool play game went great...6-4 win.

 

JL & his cousin Rhaina

It's hot chocolate. Not coffee, folks.

 

A legit cold front actually moved into Texas Saturday, so the weather was set for us to be playing baseball in football weather. Again. No complaints from me. But some of the other moms were cold and I was craving a white chocolate mocha so after our win we loaded up and made a trip to Starbucks...to wait 40 minutes in line. Usually I would say eff this line I'm out of here but that warm liquid heaven was really calling my name. We made it back to the complex in hopes to win the next game and then head out to dinner with most of the team. Right about the time the boys were taking the field, it started lightening and raining. We all loaded up in our cars waiting for the rain to pass...45 minutes later they finally cancelled our games. We all got checked into our hotel rooms and got the boys rounded up to go to dinner at 9:30. Dinner was great, lots of laughs between the boys and parents. Finally at 11:45 I got myself and JL in bed while a few of the dads were partaking in some adult beverages in the parking lot since we had no clue if we would even play the next day.

 

The next morning we got the call that the fields for to wet to play on and the rest of the tournament was cancelled. It was pretty disappointing considering we drove all that way, spent a few hundred dollars and only played 1 game. Since the weather was 75 and gorgeous, we grabbed Olive Garden (JL's favorite place.) and headed home to catch the Cowboys' game.

 

Spaghetti and lemons for lunch.

 

The hubs and I watched the game on the patio with the dogs while JL went to the football field with his cousin to play around.

 

She is such a classy lady when she crosses her legs

 

My nosy, Scooter

 

Even though we didn't get to play much baseball and the Cowboys lost, the weekend was still a great one. Cooler weather...Starbucks...dinner with friends...and sleeping in...It is the smaller things that make it great, right??

Weekend Recap

I had all the intentions to be writing this post last night but thanks to a sore throat and achy body, it was a no go. You would assume my achy body was from a earth shattering hangover since it was my birthday weekend and all or my sore throat was from talking loudly in a crazy crowded bar. -Nope. Didn't happen. Whomp. Whomp. But I'm not complaining, instead my niece and her roommate came to visit from college, which was the hubs and I first experience with having college age "kids" who eat anything and everything in your kitchen. Since they came down to visit and it was my father-n-law's birthday the day after mine we decided to cookout fajitas Saturday night with some close friends and family. My awesome mother-in-law made homemade enchiladas, thankfully I refrained from eating all 75 enchiladas she brought. That's called extreme self control, people! I tried to indulge in some adult beverages but it to was a no go because I was to busy trying to be the hostess with the mostess. Eeeekkk! Which is another sign I'm turning into my mother! Apologizes for not taking pictures like a true blogger but I was taking my hostess duties very seriously Saturday night.

 All and all we had a good time...until...the hubs got the outdoor TV working just to watch the ass whooping that was UT vs BYU. Just sad. Just plain sad. 

But I did get a picture of the beautiful roses and lilies I got this past week from my sweet hubby.

 I have a lot going on this week and some changes for the my blog coming up very soon, so be sure to stay tuned! 

:) 

Have a FABULOUS week!

Weekend Recap

 Hey Everybody!

As some of you can imagine having a blended families can make things very hard and sensitive and this time of the year is extra difficult for the hubby and I. 

After JL has been here for the past month, it was time for him to return to his mother's house Sunday. It's a day I dread every summer because the hubby is so sad that day, because he had just got use to him being here for a long period of time. Our house immediately goes from having noises of a little boy bouncing off the walls to a quiet space.

 So to try to make things less gloomy on everyone I planned for us to cookout over the weekend, visit, and enjoy the time we have as a whole family.

My parents have this awesome outdoor kitchen and space that we decided to gather at over the weekend. We need rain here in Texas so BAD, so excuse the extra crispy yard.

Even though it was 104, and you seriously sweat standing still, we enjoyed our music, dinner, drinks and watching our kids with Grandpa and PePaw! 

With each picture I posted the more I feel like we look Honey Boo Boo's family! :)

My brother in law and Hubby

My sweet peas Lilli & Rhaina

This is a confirmation we are some form of REDNECK! :)

Do we let our kids drive cars/trucks/jeeps on our property? Well Yeah! They have to learn sometime! Do we cook on the grill and drink beer? Sure do! 

Do we own hunting rigs like this? 

Absolutely!!! 

It's not that we won't see JL for awhile, its just that for the month of July we get to experience everyday life as a family, so that's what is hard for us when he leaves. So hopefully us spending this weekend like we did helped not only the hubby and I but JL too. 

Happy Monday!!!
