Happy birthday

You We are so blessed that God gave us this sweet girl 6 years ago! She is always full of life, creative, imaginative, picky, can be stubborn, girly girly girly, but has the biggest/kindest heart! She absolutely loves to play with my shoes and clothes, loves...

- make up

- jewelry

- cheering

- her friends

- being outside 

- candy

- anything sweet 

- her baba

- playing with friends

- NYC 

- her school

And the list goes on and on. I am so excited for all the fun celebrations we have had for her special day! 

She wanted an art party this year. I had an art teacher do the party at her studio. It was such a success and so much fun. Probably one of my favorite parties yet! 

The set up for this party was easy. I decorated the table, put up a few more things here and there, and that was it. Much easier than the past 😜

Her art teacher Mrs Hubbard

Pop and Gammy wouldn't miss the party

So glad Nana made it this year. Both grandparents were a huge help!!!

All her friends painting lollipop pictures

Her best friend Harper

Beckham did enjoy the party 

Strawberry cake from Dreamcakes! Yum!

The piñata! It was fun but piñatas are crazy

Cute little area for presents 

The party favors...cookies and little craft crayons or paint

We hand delivered paint invites 🎨

Celebrations

We celebrate a lot for birthdays! I am not quiet sure how this evolved but I love birthday celebrations and these babies won't be little forever!!! So...we enjoy it! The celebrations started early for Charlee kate. 

Going to eat with Charlee Kate for the first time this school year. Beckham actually did pretty good. We enjoyed it!

The day of her birthday party! What a special day but this will be a post all in itself! 

Riding in the car for a surprise birthday trip. Going to Atlanta with Lisa and Harper to stay at The Ritz and go to the American Girl store

We picked up Lisa and Harper to head to atlanta. The moment the girls realized we were at The American Girl Doll store... Pure excitement 

Reservations for lunch at the bistro 

I guess it never gets old when people sing Happy Birthday to you! It's a happy song...she was giddy with excitement 

We have her a new doll. She picked out many accessories for the dolls

A little mommy shopping after the girls shopping adventure at Phipps Plaza

Staying at The Ritz! Such a treat! 

The ritz left out cookies and milk for the girls 

We ❤️ Homewood

I can't imagine living elsewhere! We have a great community, great friends, and we love walking everywhere! (Especially with the "hint" of fall weather we had) 

It's been a great week to spend with friends and play outside with my kiddos! 

Steel city pops! Love his new Homewood shirt and I am obsessed with royal blue so his shoes are my favorite! 

Dinner and popcicles with our neighbors 

When he sleeps late, he gets breakfast in the stroller! 

He looks so big here! I love this sweet boy with all my 💙

Trucks, trucks, any trucks! He loves them 

Busy

Busy is a word we all know! It's something that is in everyone's day to day life no matter what. Yet, it's not always a bad thing. Being busy for us means family, friends, fun, good schools, good health to do all that we do, the opportunity to volunteer, having two healthy children to enjoy keeping me busy, etc... I admit, it's nice to have a "down day/down time". Those times are appreciated more because of all that we have to be thankful for. I am not ready to be the one that's 90 something waiting for people to come by or remembering those "busy" days. This is our prime time...time to treasure! Live it up ❤️💙💚💛💜💗 So with that being said, summer was busy and August has been super busy. BUT...September looks to be laid back, or maybe just busy with whatever we come up with🍁🏈

This weekend Jeremy and I were at home alone and enjoyed the rest, catching up for the upcoming events, and truly relaxing. We definitely caught ourselves saying we missed the noise and the pitter patter of little feet. We were glad to get our babies back from my parents Sunday at lunch. It was nice to get them back! 

Neighbors walking to school together. This is a blessing! 

She wakes up happy, loves school, tells me that she loves our walks in the morning to talk! Priceless! 

Monday my little guy slept in, watched a little TV (2 minutes 😂) and enjoyed breakfast 

We headed out to walk, to the park, to downtown HW. It was an amazing morning (minus the humidity)

Emily and baby Levi coming to visit from Nashville. 

Charlee Kate loved holding him

Picture day at school. We walked outside to feel a hint of fall in the air! Oh how I love fall!!!

Picture day. Mary Addison and CK

These two boys! Beckham just looks too big to me
