Oh Sunny Day!

We can't get enough of this beautiful weather that we are having. Our nights are consisting of walks, bike rides, playing outside, grilling out, and of course...ice cream!

Daddy and Christian grilled up some bbq chicken tonight for when Bryleigh and I arrived home from dance class!

It was a perfect end to a wonderful weekend and start to a new week!

Christian's 1st Soccer Game

Christian had his first soccer game yesterday morning. Daddy and Bryleigh were on the sidelines to cheer him on!

When they got to the field yesterday morning, they couldn't find the coach. Apparently, his coach was involved in a car accident this morning.  Please say a little prayer that him and his family are safe since we do not know if the car accident was serious or not.  A few of the parents stepped up to help coach as best as they could. Christian is in the white shirt in the pictures above since he was not at his first practice to receive his shirt and the coach was not there.

Christian had fun but according to Daddy, soccer may not be Christian's sport. Our timid little boy was too scared to get right in on the action to get to the ball. It seems as if we have a bit more to wok on :)

School Carnival and Sunshine

We have been having beautiful weather the past few days!  We are really enjoying 70 degrees since we know that it will probably be short lived given that the temperatures are supposed to fall back to the 50's this week. While Christian was at school yesterday, Bryleigh and I played outside.

After school, we attended Christian's school carnival.  We stayed for a few hours and the kids had a blast with all of the games!

Daddy had a good time too since he won a cake on the cake walk! We figured that if all 4 of us did the cake walk, one of us was bound to win!  Our logic worked :)

After the carnival, we had movie night at Grandma and Grandpa's!  I took a nice nap since I haven't been feeling the greatest the past few days! But today I'm feeling much better so we are hoping that tomorrow is just as nice so we can play outside all day!

Snack Day and Soccer

Thanks to my Facebook friend Talisha, Christian had another cute snack day treat to bring to school today... Dino Cups!

According to Christian, all the kids loved them!

Tonight was extremely busy.  If tonight was any indication of what our lives are going to look like in a few years with extracurricular activities, then I have a rude awakening to face!  I picked Christian up from school, we came home and Christian and I went on a 2 mile run (bike ride for Christian.) Then we had to rush to get ready for soccer practice from 5-5:45pm...

Our little soccer boy!

Bryleigh and I played on the playground

Christian is in white

Bryleigh wanted to play soccer too!

After a fun filled soccer practice, we returned home for a 5 minute dinner of Grape Uncrustables and applesauce before Christian was off to Weekday Bible School and Bryleigh and I headed to church.  We were home by 7:30pm, just in time for baths.  Now the kids are in bed, and I'm beat.  It was nonstop running tonight and although I love being busy, this was a bit too busy for me.

But I surely can't complain the the weather was in the mid 50's and sunny all day!  I had a smile on my face today and the weather is only supposed to get nicer from here with a high of 80 degrees nest Tuesday!  WooHoo!

Bryleigh's Toy Box

A few years ago, I started searching for a wooden toy box for Bryleigh's room.  I knew that I wanted the Espresso colored toybox but was unsure of the style.  Not to mention... they are pretty expensive. So I put the idea on hold for awhile. Then, I was discussing Christmas present ideas with my in law's a few years back, I threw in this idea.  My father in law offered to make one for her and so the process began.  I showed him a few pictures of what I was looking for and he began building!

We finally brought home the finished product this past weekend and I LOVE IT!

 Obviously, Bryleigh loves it too!

It is so much bigger than I had anticipated which is perfect for all of her toys laying around!  I'm also loving that once Bryleigh no longer needs a toybox then we can use it for a storage bench. It is amazing and its even better since Grandpa made it :)

Bryleigh says "Thanks Grandpa!"

Living Room Additions

As you may remember, I repainted my living room back in January when I was feeling ambitious. I have been wanting to make it feel more "homey" lately but I'm just not a good decorator so it takes me awhile to match things up.  Well this past week, I went a tad bit crazy and got a few items for the living room.  Its coming together now and I just need one more big picture and I think I may be satisfied for awhile.

Here are a few of my new purchases...

New rug...Love it! 

New Vinyl Sticker

Throw Pillows

Throw Pillows

I'm loving the colors in the room!  And I love my new throw pillows even though Bryan things they are a waste of money and space :)

Children's Festival

Each year, we take the kids to the annual Children's Festival at our local high school.  It is a day that we look forward to.  There are many fun activities for the kids to participate in and the best part about it is...its all free! Unfortunately  just like all Saturday activities, I was unable to go this year since I was in school :(  Bummer for me but thankfully my in law's went with Bryan and the kids. I get to enjoy the day in pictures.

Christian and Bryleigh were very excited to tell me about their day when I got home!  I'm so glad that although I have to miss out on all the fun activities, they have an amazing Daddy that makes up for me being gone every weekend! I'm so blessed with my amazing family and couldn't ask for anything more.

Now I'm off to bed so that I can enjoy my day with the kiddo's tomorrow!
