Weekend Wrap Up

Our weekend went like this...

I went to Darrin's volleyball game on Friday night, which we lost, while Miles hung out at Ms. Mitsie's house.  He had lots of fun.  They baked cookies and played golf.  He did not want to leave when I got there.  Then, we all went to bed early.

On Saturday morning, Miles played and did a few things around the house....

We both took naps and then went to watch volleyball again, which we won.  Miles played with his friend, Anna Brooke, at the game.  He was surprisingly good, even though it was a long game.

It was a crazy, stressful, come-from-behind win.....and when it was over, we just wanted to chill at home for the rest of the night.  So we did.  Miles played in the "daddy hammock" and we watched football. 

Today....church....then Miles and I took naps while Darrin took a recruit to the airport....then we all went to an open house....then church directory pictures....and now it's time to relax.  The rest of the night will be spent watching Sunday Night Football (Go Packers!), the Good Wife, and the Amazing Race.  Sounds like an excellent night.  Have a great week everyone!

Wordless Wednesday

Happy Fall

We carved two pumpkins over the weekend. Darrin had never carved a pumpkin before and I hadn't done it in a long time.  We had so much fun!  We rarely use our front door, so we put them on our back porch.  We light them at night so we can see them from inside.  Miles' favorite part is blowing the candles out before he goes to sleep.  I definitely think we've started a tradition.

One Day I'll Learn

Our day started a little rocky.  Miles had a stomach virus that began yesterday afternoon and carried on through the night.  He seemed to be fine when he woke up.  So, I made plans to meet my friend, Bethany, and Miles' friend, Gray, at the park.  In the process of getting ready to leave, it was clear that going to the park was a bad decision.  He was super whiny and even felt like he may have had a slight fever.  I never could tell for sure about the fever b/c taking his temperature is near impossible....under his tongue, yeah right...under his arm...doesn't work.  So anyway, he felt a little warm.  I text Bethany to say that we weren't going to make it and Miles assumed this position on the couch.  Comfortable I guess??

After a morning of laying around and playing a little, he spilled his milk at lunch and had a complete melt down, which lead to an immediate nap.  He slept for an hour and a half and woke up in a much better mood.  So of course I have to make plans.  I text Bethany again and rescheduled our park play date for 3pm.

The boys had fun on the Hulk playground, as Gray calls it...

 

Then just 30 minutes in, I spanked Miles for not listening and he hit me in the face.  Needless to say our play date was over.  We came home and he spent some time chilling in time out.  One day I'll learn that spanking does not work for Miles, and that he has just as much fun, and gets in a lot less trouble, if we just stay home and play.

Weekend Wrap Up

The weekend started with a volleyball game on Friday night.  We played Murray, our closet rival, and won!

Saturday morning, Miles played with his castle for at least an hour straight.  60 consecutive minutes of entertaining himself is absolutely blog worthy...

Then, we had an early game at 11am, due to the football Homecoming game later in the afternoon...

This is Darrin on Saturday...he told the girls that if they won on Friday night, he would wear the same thing on Saturday.  Please refer to the picture earlier.  When I sat down at the game, I turned to my mom and said, "Is Darrin wearing the same thing he wore last night?"  She confirmed.  Apparently everyone knew but me.  I'm sure he figured I would not be as on board as others.  He knows me well.  

Unfortunately, the outfit trick didn't work and we lost.

After the game we celebrated my birthday.  My mom brought a yummy cake and Miles helped me blow out the candles...

Miles went home with Aunt Crystal & Uncle Steve to spend the night with the girls.  Darrin and I celebrated our anniversary by laying on the couch and watching football, eating dinner at Los Portales, and watching Crazy Stupid Love at home.  I liked the movie, but it wasn't a perfect anniversary movie. Anyway, we had a fun, relaxing evening.

This morning, we went to Crystal & Steve's church to see Olivia get baptized.  She was so excited and it was precious.  We are very proud of her & her decision.

It's been a good weekend.  The best part about it is....it's not over!!!  Happy Columbus Day to all!  I can't wait to spend the whole day with Miles.  Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Happy Anniversary

11 years of wedded bliss.  Here's to many, many more!  Love you babe.

Celebrate

Last night, I went to get dessert with some friends to celebrate Carrie (second from the right) getting her Masters!!!!  Way to go Carrie!  Dessert was yummy and there were a LOT of laughs.  Good times.
