Weekend Recap: Mother's Day 2016

Friday: Robert got home from work and we headed out to do a quick shop. He had to drop off a fuel card for some of his employees so we ended up going up north which we almost never do so it was a bit of an adventure. Mostly we were just trying to get out and about. 

This little nugget was being adorable as usual. 

I stopped by Ulta and picked up a mini polish set by OPI. It was the New Orleans set and I decided to get this one because I really wanted the Show Us Your Tips color and the Take a right on Bourbon and it just was more cost effective to buy the mini set. I am really glad I did because Show Us Your Tips ended up being a lot more sheer than I thought and while it works really well over another color it isn't exactly what I was hoping for, so yeah, glad I got the mini and saved some dollars. 

 

Saturday: Robert's Mom, Stepdad, Brother, and his girlfriend all came over to celebrate Mother's Day at our place. Robert made dinner and I made dessert (and cleaned like a madwoman). It was a really nice visit and Kyra was in a great mood so everyone was just enjoying being together. Also the food was awesome Robert did an amazing job. Robert and Kyra also got me flowers and they are SO PRETTY. 

Sunday: Robert said I could sleep in but that wasn't happening. He also offered to make breakfast but we were eating at noon at my parents' house so I passed. I wanted to save room since I knew that a yummy meal was going to be happening anyhow! 

The food was of course delicious and I ate entirely too much of it and then the rest of the afternoon was spent just enjoying one another and being super chill and relaxed. 

My parents also got me some Mother's day gifts and they were just wonderful! 

Adorable flower pot with Kyra's hand prints! SO Sweet!  An Awesome owl mug. My favorite candy. A new makeup mirror!

After hanging out it was time to go home and watch Game of Thrones and Penny Dreadful and then it was bedtime! All in all it was a great weekend!

A Long Weekend

Good Morning Everyone!


Sorry about bein MIA yesterday but since it was my husband's and my anniversary I thought I would take the day off from blogging. Also I did not have power until like 9am and did not have internet until like 11 an by noon I was headed out the door, so....you know there was that too! 


This past weekend was a busy one, Saturday we spent the day making stepping stones for Mother's Day for my mom's garden. Mine turned out pretty awesome actually and I will have a picture of it later as the only one I have is on my phone and it is pretty awful quality. However the stone turned out really great and that is awesome because it made my mom happy. 


Sunday was of course Mother's day and it was my first official Mother's Day! My husband was awesome and got breakfast and then took Kyra and I out for the day. We went to outdoor mall because the day was beautiful and we showed Kyra the huge fountain that they have in the center of everything. We put her feet in the water and she thought that was just hilarious. Also she really loves being outside. I am going tot have to start incorporating more walks into our days because she really enjoys the stroller and being out in the air. Now if the weather would cooperate more then we would be all set! 

Speaking of walking, my Auntie did her first 5K on Mother's Day! She is awesome. She even finished under her time goal! It's got me all pumped for when we do our 5K this August! I've never done an official one and I am really excited now! 

So Monday was my anniversary. My husband and I have been married for 2 years (together for 11). Our first anniversary was not all that fun. We lost one of our best friends and his memorial service was the day before our anniversary. Also he was the one that performed our ceremony and married us the year before. It was heartbreaking...

This year we had a much better time though! My husband took a half a day at work and my parents took Kyra. So we got the whole afternoon together! We went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch/dinner. We had never been before and it was AWESOME. The portions were so huge though, we ended up with a lot of leftovers. Oh and the cheesecake.....I had the pineapple upside down cheesecake and it was AH-MAZING. Pineapple Upside down cake is one of my favorites of all time. We even had Pineapple upside down cupcakes at our wedding reception! 

After lunch/dinner we went to see the new Spider-man movie. It was okay.....just really long.

All in all it was a really nice afternoon with my husband and I hope to have many more like it! 

So that was my very long (and long winded) weekend! I will be back to posting like normal now for the rest of the week. Also I will have a new video up on Youtube here in just a bit!
