Summer Lovin'

A couple of months ago we got this little robot vacuum and I've been a little intimidated to figure it out.  The other day I decided to take it into my room to see what it would do.

I was so excited when "Thor" cleaned under my bed and got the little dust bunnies that were forming and hard to reach.  I'm definitely sold on him now!

We got our exercise room cleared out the other day.  Cooper and I have been doing the treadmill and some plank and sit-up challenges together.

Watching a little Friends while walking.

Made a very quick and last minute trip to see my mom.  We took the boys bowling.




Later that night we played Bunco with some of their neighbors.

It was the first time for my boys and they both really liked it.



Had fun swimming! It's honestly so hot here so unless you are swimming you just don't want to even be outside.



Cousins came to visit!

Introducing them to a little Steel City Pops.


Crazy boys!

Shawn with his sister, Aneta Beth.

Today we attended an appreciation bash that my upline hosted at her house.  Fun day with team members.

Checking out the new Savvy Minerals makeup.

Family and JW Marriott trip

The day my dad left our house to head home.......Shawn's brother, Chad, came to stay.  He lives in Colorado and we don't get to see him often.  He brought his son, Hayden, too.  We took them to Southlake to eat lunch, enjoy some Steel City Pops and look around.

One night we went to Hibachi.

Hayden had never been and he loved it.

Cooper went to his friend's house to swim and have a sleep over.  I got a call at 4am that he had thrown up in bed and was really stuffy.  He was crying (so super embarrassed) so the mom brought him home.  He wanted to snuggle and lay low that day so we declared it a "snuggle and watch TV" day.  By that evening, he was back to himself.

Silly boy!

Cooper has been wanting to make cupcakes for a while.  I found this brand that uses basic ingredients.  Nothing yucky, nothing we can't pronounce.

Everything is premeasured and packaged for you.

They turned out great!

Last Wednesday, we loaded up the car for a little road trip.  I had an appt with my natural doctor (who also happens to be married to my BFF from college) so we hit my appointment and then spent the night at their house.  The kids all swam and we grilled dinner. I got zero pictures while there.  Boo!

The next day, we headed to San Antonio.  My family had never been to Alamo Cafe.  Its so so good!!  So we ate lunch their while on our way to our hotel.

We checked into the JW Marriott for a couple of nights.  I had a Young Living class to teach in San Antonio for a friend of mine there so my boys stayed at the resort and played while I did a little work.

We enjoyed swimming, floating down the lazy river, riding the water slides......just being together.

The view from our room.


This boy plays hard and just loves life.  He had such a blast!


This guy is way more chill and preferred to float the lazy river or soak in the hot tub.


They enjoyed their virgin Pina Coladas each day.  Yum!
Great little family getaway.  Just got home last night and back to reality!

Archery & Laser Tag

Sleeping Beauties!

Swimming buddies!

Last week my dad came into town.  We took the boys to an inside archery place.  The manager insisted that my dad and I also shoot.......and I'm so glad he did.  It was so much fun!!



Way to go Hudson!


Remember last week when I mentioned that we painted rocks?  We hit the park to hide our rocks and we all found rocks near the walking trails and around the trees.

My dad even got into it.....





The next day we played laser tag.  It was a blast as well!

I have several friends that get eyelash extensions.  I've never been interested in that.  I have long eyelashes naturally so when I heard about this natural eyelash procedure......that doesn't use extensions or any harmful products.....I decided to give it a try.  It lasts for 6-8 weeks and I just love how my lashes are curled even when I don't have mascara on.
