The Grimes Life: Weekend in fast forward style.

I feel like I am in a blog rut right now. I want to blog about so many things with substance/thoughts rolling around in my head/ideas, and then I find myself just journaling what we do about once or twice a week so I can remember what life is like right now. So, for now that's what I am doing. We had a busy and fast paced weekend, but it was so much fun!

Friday wasn't busy, just fun! I made us little english muffin pizzas for dinner and after the kids went to bed Jon and I had a little stay at home date night! We enjoyed our country life outside with a fire together! Notice our attire; ugs, pants, and you can't see but I have a blanket too, and then there is Jon next to me shorts and bare foot-that's funny!

Saturday morning Tatum and I went to Kennedy's 2nd birthday party! We both had a great time and I didn't even get one pic, darnit! I feel like her momma Reba and I along with a few others were just pregnant with our babies and all crashing on the couch at our New Years party a few years back at about 10:00. Our babies are growing up!

After the birthday party my college roomies and I hosted a baby shower for Jen. She is having her first baby in March, Reese is going to be one fixed up little girl with a FUN momma!

We went with a gray/pink theme, we thought it turned out so cute and possibly our best shower yet! :) Here is the table before most of the food was ready. The buffet was a few of Jen's cravings throughout her pregnancy, everything from burgers, to chicken, to fruit pizza and of course we couldn't leave out pickles!

Love these ladies! :)

After the birthday party and before the shower I took Tatum to hangout with her Aunt Krissy. They went to lunch and had a fun time! Thanks seastar!!

And all this time the girls are doing girly things, the boys met up with all the guys from Jon's side of the fam at the stockyards for a fun day! Jon said he had the very best time ever with Cade Saturday! I just love that! :) Jon got Cade all decked out in his boots, cinch jeans, cowboy belt, and can't forget the carhart jacket (all purchased by his daddy)! Jon sent me these 2 pics of their fun day.

This isn't the cutest pic, but I have to document:

This afternoon we came home from school and I was changing Tatum before her nap and Cade ran in the living room and said "tatum (he has started to call her by name these days instead of "tay tay") I'll sing you a song ok, how about jesus loves me!" He even sang it to her like I sing it to them with "Jesus loves Tatum or Cade this I know..." ahhhhhh! I just love them so much, he was even playing with her hair! So sweet!

Brooke and I walked laps the other day in my backyard while the kids played trying to get Miss Karlee to arrive, it didn't work, but soon and very very soon she will arrive! Ahhhh, we can't wait!! :) I thought this pic was so funny, I can't wait to show Karlee some day!

Tatum can't wait to have a little girl cousin too!

This made me laugh. Here is the priss sacked out in the car, I think it's funny how she gets so wrapped up and cuddled. I can't really blame her, i would fall asleep like that too!

I can't believe my little darling daughter is 18 1/2 months old. We got her pics taken last week and here is one of my favorites, this is a pic of a pic. Thank you aunt Linda for this photo session (gift to tay when she was born)!

just and funny pic of the little man!

Not a great pic, but let me explain why it has meaning. Jon likes my car clean, I do too, but he likes it clean more. So, I decided after all the rain last week I would get it cleaned, but that day just happened to be on a non school day. So what better way to keep the kids happy and contained at the car wash? Driving thru chickfila and being strapped down in the stroller! So, here is the meaning behind the pic. A lady walked up to the kids and I and took a long look at us and then sat down on the other side of the sitting area. My thoughts were either she didn't want to be around kids or she thought she might get ketchup on her or maybe we weren't supposed to be eating in there. Whatever it was she sat far. My car was ready a few minutes later and we started to leave, she said "ma'am you sure have your hands full, how old are your twins?" Really? Twins? ha, that's funny and definitely the first time i've been asked that!
