This + That

I have been a huge slacker in the blogging department lately, but here is a little bit of this and a little bit of that from the end of June.

- Father's Day Weekend

Modeling Mommy's sunglasses...silly boy!

My sweet nephew Landen turned 2!  Saturday afternoon we headed to Deanna Rose Farmstead for his birthday party. It was quite steamy, but we had a blast!

Landen with the ship we got him!

B got a new hat...such a stud!

He wasn't too sure about this big goat getting in his face :)

We left just before a big storm came through.  We unfortunately had to drive home in probably 50-60 mph winds and torrential down pours, but we made it safely!

B was so excited to give Ryan his Father's Day gifts. He helped him open them and was sure to point out the picture he drew him on this card. We also made Daddy a picture collage and B was so cute looking at it.  He would point to one of the pictures and say "look at that" then point to another one and say "aww look at that one daddy".  It was really sweet!




Sunday night we had both of our families over for dinner. I planned to have Mexican food so made salsa chicken in the crockpot and tried this new recipe for carnitas. They turned out AMAZING!  Everyone absolutely loved them. I was hoping to have quite a bit of leftovers, but that was definitely not the case.

It was one of the best family dinners that I have hosted.  Everything was prepped in advance so I could actually relax and enjoy the company.  The only bummer part was Ryan's dad ended up having to go down to their lake house on Sunday so he didn't make it for dinner. He got a call from one of their neighbors telling him a tree had fallen on their house from the bad storms that we had on Saturday.  Ryan's aunt also couldn't make it because she was in a car accident on Saturday on the way to Landen's birthday party which dislocated and broke her elbow :(  Ryan's poor family did not have a good weekend! Thank goodness she is going to be okay!

- 5 Year Anniversary

Ryan and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary on June 20th.  He secretly planned for me to get off work early and for my mom to keep Brennen over night.  We went to dinner and rented a movie. It was a wonderful evening to just be able to enjoy each other!

- My mom stayed with B and I while Ryan was at a basketball camp for the weekend. B loves spending time with his Grandma!

- We have been spending quite a bit of time outside.

B loves to swing...even just in his underwear!

B and Daddy flying his kite!

- We spent the most relaxing weekend at the lake.  It was perfect!

- And the most exciting news...my baby brother got engaged!! I am so happy for him and can't wait to have my future sister-in-law officially part of the family :)

I have a 5 day weekend coming up and am looking forward to relaxing and enjoying being with the family.  Hope you all have a safe and wonderful 4th!
