Southern Mama of Two

It's the day after a long weekend, so this is appropriate! I hope everyone had a wonderful memorial day weekend. I enjoyed my time spent with friends and family. Here is a little recap Friday After work I went to my mom's house for a cook out. Ryleigh had her first sleep over at our house, her cousin Emily. Those girls were in hog heaven, and said they were "staying up all night." Which turned into them being asleep by 11:00 in my bed lol. Saturday Ryleigh and I packed up and went to the creek for the day. BK was asleep when we left and it had started raining a little so I thought it would be best if she stayed with my mom for the day. Sunday Yet again the girls and I packed up and went back to the creek to spend a beautiful day on the water. BK got to go on Sunday and she had sooo much fun. Monday We were a little lazy on Monday. The girls rode around on their four wheeler for a little while then we rode over to my a...

Linking up with Shay, Sheaffer, and Mel! What we're eating this week Summer has officially started which means lots of running around. I work an hour from my house, and my girls go between my mom, grandparents, and my sil. By the time I get home in the afternoons someone has cooked supper. This week has consisted of minute steaks, squash, green beans, carrots, etc. What I'm reminiscing about Carlie's wedding of course. Such a fun and special time. Cannot believe it's been over 1 week already. What I'm loving The fact that it is finally summer time and creek season! I find this too funny :) a few of us girls this past weekend on the creek. waiting on my ride aka blind date that my cousin so generously set me up on, to get pulled out because he doesn't know how to drive on the creek. lol. please excuse the fact that I have a unibrow, I don't, but it is so dusty getting down to the creek that my face was caked with dirt. I...

linking up with  Jenn and Jessi Kindergarten Graduation Ryleigh graduated from k5 last night. It was a bittersweet moment for me because in my eyes she should still be a baby. I cannot believe she will be starting 1st grade this year! first day of school vs. last day of school. me and bk waiting on graduation. my sweet girls. she did it! she graduated. when I blink again she will be graduating high school. time slow down!! Benefit Pageant This weekend I am hosting a benefit pageant in honor of Josh Sexton. He is eight years old and is currently battling osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. He had his right arm, collar bone, and shoulder amputated several weeks ago. He is also undergoing 19 weeks of chemo, but they think this will get all of the cancer!! All proceeds that we make from the pageant will go towards Josh's medical expenses, or any expenses his family has incurred while being away from their home. Please join me in praying for Josh's heali...

Happy Monday! This past weekend was full of emotions. Happy, sad, stressed to the max! I spent my entire Friday decorating for Carlie's (my baby cousin) wedding. She picked a beautiful barn to have the wedding at. The wedding was held under a huge oak tree right at 6:00 and it was perfect! The reception was inside of the barn, with southern appetizers, wine, and beer. This post will pretty much be photos to show a little of our weekend.
