A Weekend Away & Parker's First Swim

Image
By
Our good friends invited us to spend a weekend at a Cabin a little while back. I say cabin loosely because it was really a second home located in the woods. It was SUPER nice! I honestly felt like we were in a hotel. We were so grateful for the invite, especially because we did not get any vacations this summer. It has been all about work and Jeff's internship so a weekend away was just what we needed.

Like I said the "Cabin" was amazing! It was like a little resort/gated community in the forest. It was set on a golf course which added to the view. While we mostly relaxed, we also went on a little hike, swimming, and hung out.

It was the perfect trip, the only thing that could have made it better would be if it was longer. Thanks so much for the invite!!

Our sweet Indian Themed Room. I think I counted 35 Canoes.

Parker's First Hike.

The little lake we hiked to.



The cabin was in a little resort so it had a pool close by. So after our hike and some ice cream, we decided to take a dip. This was Parker's first time swimming. He started out a little iffy and confused, but by the end he was splashing and playing. It was a lot of fun.

Hanging with Mom and Dad and still trying to figure out what I'm sitting in.



Motor boats with daddy.



This was right after we dunked him, he didn't cry or anything.


Time to get out, I think I like swimming!

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
