Some good ole pictures

Forgot to post this adorable picture of the boys! Hunter LOVES Beckham and was so good with him. It's absolutely adorable 

Finally back home, cleaned, organized, settled! It felt good! Had friends over for what turned out to be a LATE night...this is why! Old school Mario brothers tournament! Haha

Beckham loves to swing! He loves to be on the go and moving! Charlee Kate was this way too. I do believe part of it is because I NEVER stop! While I was pregnant and after birth, it's moving all the time, going nonstop, and exercising. We are movers and groovers and I must admit I am just wired that way. 

A great week at bible school with her best friend Harper! 

They just LOVE each other!!!

One morning before bible school! Please please let us have an early fall...I am over heat and humidity! 

My favorite girl came to stay 2 days! My kids adore her and loved it! I loved it more having a "side kick" with me especially while Jeremy was in Chicago. Oh how we love Haley (she's been a Whatley since she was 6 months old...started babysitting her 16 yrs ago)

We get a date night once a week (even if it's a movie at home) but Sunday night we went out to one of our fav places in Bham! FIVE bar and grill! 

What a great week at home! Lots of fun, lots of cleaning and organizing, and lots of stuff with friends! That part I like about summer time. I am not ready to prepare my little girl for K! It starts soooo soon! 

Clean living

Well...sometimes my OCD wins! Once we got home from Charlotte, something sparked a motivation in me to just move one piece of furniture! However, that led to rearranging rooms, reorganizing drawers and closets, completely redecorating, then cleaning along the way. A 48 hour project that wore me out but felt good when done! The last project is the huge yard sale in September to completely have a clean basement and redo a playroom. I just like my stuff cleaned and organized I guess. 

The kids rooms were the first make overs. They are still my favorite. I recently painted a table for them that goes in the kitchen. I have had my feel for painting. I think I did everything in their rooms. I keep doing it but can't say that I love too. I just love a finished product 😄

After all was finally done, I lighted candles, melted my waxes, and it felt complete. For some reason I melted my pumpkin waxes. Maybe the cool weather outside sparked that...but you mix a fall smell and cool weather, makes me want FALL! 🏈

The suitcase now houses toys for Beckham 

The little table I painted for the kids. CK loves to draw and do school work while I am cooking. I love having it in the kitchen so she is in there with me. She also likes to clean my make up containers and organize here! 💄...yep she's my child!  My granddaddy made this table years ago.

I have actually considered selling the Gucci diaper bag. I guess I am a favorite brand girl but if anyone's interested let me know.

Last...my mom sells these essential oils. They are huge here and making their way around. The diffuser is awesome. I always diffuse an oil based on why we need a certain one, clean with thieves, drink the ninxa drink, and my kids use it for any type of sickness, scar, need! If you don't know about this and like that organic, clean, healthy way to live...this is the other half if it : ) 😋

Charlotte trip

We took a trip to see K&K and kids! It always fly by and we stay busy (but it's fun stuff)! All 3 kids were upset not wanting to leave each other. They do have so much fun together. Jeremy and I decided it would be best to travel with B leaving at bed time. It was nice bc tgere wasn't any traffic but tough at the end. 

B actually did great being in a new place. He slept great especially the first day. We all slept until 9:15. That was much needed sleep. Each morning we would sleep and relax. Kids would just play...here's a few pictures of the time away

Little shopping at South Park! Our mini mes

Hunter turned on thd iPad for Beckham and put a hat on his head! Hilarious!

We got some great sleep on our trip! This particular morning everyone was still sleeping at 9:15! Even B! It was great, but once he wakes up we let him stir around and talk. The girls woke up and heard him then decided to go see him. Kelly and I watched from the monitor. 

Here is what took place: 

CK: what are you doing Ella? (As Ella is hopping out of the pack n play)

Ella: getting out before I get into trouble

CK: oh me too

***both girls hop out***

2 minutes later...both girls hop back in. 

I guess the "trouble" thing didn't matter anymore. 

Made us laugh!

The guys took the kids out on the boat at Lake Norman. 

Little snow cone fun after lunch 

We had a babysitter one night and adults night out at Cowfish, a favorite! Jeremy was in charge of most of the pictures which is pretty obvious

Haha...playing dress up with goggles

This is the kind of weather we came home too...cooler and no humidity! Wish it would stay 

Appts, relaxing, playing!

That's what our week has been like....here are A few little pictures of my babies! This week has been laid back sort of! Charlee Kate has had gymnastics camp in the mornings, afternoons we just play and hang here at night (unless we go grab ice cream). Appts, hair cuts, all the good stuff in between! It's been nice being home for the week!

Happy 4th of July

This July 4th was a quiet one. There are usually tons of people and a big party at the lake house, but with so much happening it was just is this year but was very relaxing! We could have used more people for the usual corn hole tournament though. We couldn't have ask for a better day though...gorgeous weather, fun things to do, relaxing!!! It was a wonderful 4th! 

My crew first thing in the morning. I think I will keep these three for sure

Love love these two! Couldn't get enough of them. B was in a great mood, probably bc his first tooth has finally poked through and he had some Motrin 

Swim suit and onesie...casual picture

I talked her into the red, white, and blue swimsuit since it was the 4th

Her little scar on her face is slowly healing...poor thing

Grandmother ogle came today and Charlee Kate loved it! 

She was beside herself excited all day...swimming in the pool, the sea doo riding (which we did lots of), swimming in the lake (with daddy of course), riding on the boat, fishing, fireworks, riding in the kabota and golf cart! Man...that's a good day with all that fun!! 

Fishing before time to shoot fireworks 

Last but not least...an absolutely amazing gorgeous run...68 degrees and no humidity at all to start the day! Not sure how we got that lucky in July but definitely makes me ready for fall

Get a way...not many pics

So I took a trip with Jeremy! He had to do some work in central FL and I tagged along. We flew into Orlando to start with! I hit up exits 68, 75, and 78. My favorite outlets and mall of millennia! It all came back around, stores, back roads, the fun!! Then a few days of just beach, sleeping, working out, and dinner! It was a much needed break (even though I thought of my babies the whole time too). It was great! Much much needed TOES in the sand!  

The morning before I left these cuties

The ice cream truck on the beach that kept playing Christmas music...gave me a good laugh

Just me and the ocean!!!

Beach time

Night time 

The secret service workout Stephanie told me about!! Killed me and Jeremy! Exhausted! Dead! Jello muscles! We did it!!!!! lol...it was hard core. I have had a lot of "self talks" through a workout to try and finish but this was one of my harder talks : )

CK having fun with Jace and Blake while we are away
