Weekend Update

We had a lovely, relaxing weekend at home and I wanted to share a few fun pics.  Simple to most, no doubt...but monumental to us...Brooks had his very first little dip in the pool!  At 8 months old, his first pool excursion was quite an event for this mama and daddy!! Oh. Em. Gee. It was the cutest thing that I've ever seen!  His little face lit up and he splashed his hands in the water and laughed and laughed.  I am so thankful that our neighborhood has such a fantastic, kid friendly pool. Good to know those HOA fees go to something good. Can I getta amen?!?

Here are some pics of sweet baby Brooks and some other shots of our much needed "staycation" at home. : )  We are usually on the go or working on some type of project.  This weekend, however, we enjoyed quite the departure from that.  Some much needed R&R!!




Getting ready to head to the pool in our sun hat and swimming gear!

First time in!  A little chilly compared to bath water!

 You know, just chillin in the shade with some toys.

When we put our little Tooks {our pet name for Brooks} to bed, mama and daddy enjoyed some
quality time talking and rocking in these two chairs!  We've even managed to keep our plants alive somehow! It's been
two whole weeks and I'm amazed! Me=plant killer. Eeeek. Hopefully, they will continue to flourish!

Got in some much needed playtime with our other "baby" Abbey

Dylan grilled some yummy porkchops on Saturday night!

Yes, that is the teeny tiniest baked potato in the whole wide world!  I'm trying to cut

back a little so as not to embarrass myself at the pool the rest of the summer. Ha!

 

 I altered the recipe for the apple poppy seed coleslaw I made last weekend a bit and the taste speaks

to me better than the original...although it is quite good in it's own right...I just need more sweet and less sour! So, I added

2 tbsp of honey from our local farmer's market. Original coleslaw recipe found: here

 

 Random. But I had to share!! I'm really digging these little sandals from Dress Up Boutique 

 I got them last year on clearance for $7 and never wore them because my feet were not the same 

size during pregnancy. So weird.  I am loving them now though! I wore them the whole weekend. 

They have really cute, super cheap shoes!

 

Weekend tablescape so our "staycation" dinners felt like restaurant dinners!

 

 

 

 Fun playtime early Sunday morning with this little munchkin!

Brooks's little bed head=perfection to this mama!
