Weekend recap

Friday night, Brad and I had our monthly date night! We went to Birmingham to see the play South Pacific.

It was a lot of fun! The show was great but it lasted over three hours and our legs were screaming by the time it was over. Then we had the hour drive home! BUT I was able to cross #26 off my 101 in 1001 list, by staying awake until midnight! I NEVER do that!

OH, also on my way home from work Friday afternoon I saw this in the road…

Freak my FREAK!!!! Still alive. But that didn’t last long! I ran back and forth over it so much that Noah said, “Mommy, I want to go home now.” Ha! They are tearing down some woods close to our house to build a new school so I’m sure we are in for some more critters.

The rest of our weekend was pretty low-key. Just some geocaching and hanging out with our little fam jam. :)

Noah’s 2012 class picture

How stinkin’ cute! In case you can’t tell, Noah is on the far left, sitting beside his bff. Noah loves for me to point to someone in the picture so he can tell me their name! And he can name every single one!

Our beach trip!

We left town Thursday afternoon and headed to Gulf Shores for a little relaxation and fried crab claws! Noah and Bella both did so well during the four hour car ride, with help from a Bob the Builder dvd.

Noah loved playing in the sand but he hated the water! Once we finally coaxed him in to putting his feet in a little tide pool, he slipped and fell and went all the way under! He was 100% done after that! He kept saying “I don’t like it!” or “I don’t want to!”

After about an hour on the beach, his face started breaking out from his eczema so we packed everything up and headed back indoors.

The next day, we played in a park. #75 on my 101 in 1001 list is to take Noah to a park! Check!

And we did a little geocaching, of course!

And since we didn’t really want to haul everything out to the beach again to only stay an hour, we decided to visit the little zoo the next day. Noah loved the tigers the best! #55 on my 101 in 1001 list was to take Noah to the zoo…Check!

We all thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend time with each other and we can’t wait to go back!

#11 on my 101 in 1001 list is to go to Gulf Shores 5 times, so only 4 more trips to go before I can cross that one off!        

And finally, #96 on my 101 in 1001 list is to eat a Krispy Kreme doughnut. Our KK was destroyed in the tornado so it’s been almost a year since I’ve had one. Luckily, there is a KK close to Gulf Shores, so we were able to grab a few doughnuts before we headed home on Sunday!

Whew! Now I need a vacation to recover from my vacation! :)

#89 & #91 – Check!

On my 101 in 1001 list, #89 was to visit someone in the hospital and #91 was to hold a brand new baby. I got a two-for-one deal today when I went to visit my friends that just had their third baby! Meet Cooper!

He is so sweet. He looks just like a little baby doll and he is so PRETTY! He almost gave me baby fever. I can’t wait to snuggle him again!

Easter weekend recap

Friday, I picked Noah up early from school to take him to his 2 year check up with his pediatrician. He weighed 28 lbs 6 oz and measured 34 3/4 in long. He had to get his finger pricked, but he didn’t even flinch! I was so surprised! I would rather get a shot than get my finger pricked! He was super excited about getting a bandaid on his finger. (Look at his farmer’s tan!)

He is in the 50th percentile for weight and height and is developmentally a genius right on track! 

Saturday, our church had our annual Easter egg hunt.

Noah thinks he is a professional egg hunter now. The age group where we hunted was birth-2 years old so he was the oldest in there. I literally had to make him stop gathering eggs so other kids could get some! Overachiever!

After our nap Saturday afternoon, we decided to tackle a couple of caches. We didn’t plan on going in the woods, but things just kind of happened that way. As we were leaving the woods, Brad literally stepped over this….

I think it was a baby snake, but still. A snake is a snake!! We sprinted back to the car and stayed out of the woods for the rest of the day!

Sunday, the Easter bunny dropped off some goodies for Noah!

The new train was his favorite thing.

Then we went to church to celebrate that Jesus is alive!

And we finished the day with an afternoon nap and spending time with our families!

Happy Easter!     

#64-Check!

#64 in my 101 in 1001 list was to go through Noah’s closet and put away the baby clothes. I like to stay on top of purging his closet so that wasn’t a huge project. But I feel a little more accomplished, none the less!

Checky check!

Along with cleaning around the house this past weekend, we also went to a birthday party for Noah’s friend on Saturday. It was golf themed and Noah was in heaven!

Lucky for Noah, he inherited some Indian genes from his Daddy so he just tans and tans. I wasn’t even in the sun as long as Noah was and I still got a little red!

And while Daddy went and played golf with the guys, I got to cuddle this little love bug!

This week, we are looking forward to dying Easter eggs, going on an egg hunt and celebrating our risen Savior! :) Have a Happy Easter friends!
