weekend {FUN!}

My poor little blog. I meant to post several times last week, but I just couldn't ever get it together. Oh, and Jaqs decided an hour & a half was an acceptable amount of time to nap each afternoon so that didn't help ;) Hopefully I can do better this week! I miss y'all!

We had another awesome weekend! Football season is hard at times, but we seriously savor the time that we do get together, and I LOVE that! It's always QUALITY when our trio is complete.

--On Friday morning I woke up (at 8:30!!!) to a text from a friend that she had left gluten free pumpkin muffins on my porch. I knew right then that it was going to be a great day! They were seriously amazing...might have polished them off within 24 hours. Thanks, Kim, for letting me be a taste tester of your new recipes! :)

--Jaqs and I had a low key morning of working out and playing at the park, then resting up for the game that night. Pop & GG made an over night stop in Temple on their way to San Antonio to see their other grand-baby, and we're so glad they did!!

--The Wildcats WON their homecoming 63-15! Woooohoo! So glad we're doing so well in district thus far.

--Saturday was spent running errands then playing with daddy once he got home. Oh, and Jaqs decided to go "bareback" on her pony before her bath. Poor Bob!

--We went to the pumpkin patch on Sunday morning, and it was so fun! I took pictures on my real camera for a change, so I'll share those once I get them uploaded :) Jaqs absolutely loved petting & feeding all the animals at the farm! I think she's meant to be a country girl!

--It was my day to take a mid-afternoon snack/meal to the coaches on Sunday, so we went up to the school to make our delivery after J's nap. Of course the little monkey went right to playing at the field. She is seriously so strong! She swings her legs from side to side while holding them up like that. I think her abs are stronger than mine...

I'll be back soon to share pictures from our pumpkin patch adventure! Is there anything else y'all would like to see or hear about?? Part of my blogger's block lately has been CONTENT. All I've been posting have been "life updates" because that's ALL I GOT. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears! :) Thanks for sticking with me!!

XOXO

I'm back!

Hi friends! I have missed y'all. Disappearing last week was necessary for me, but now I'm feeling renewed and refreshed. Of course, this beautiful, fall-ish weather has also helped with that! Isn't wonderful what a season change can do for you? I love it. God's little reminders, I think.

Anyway, as I mentioned in my last post, Jaqs & I spend the weekend before last in Abilene with my momma. We did a lot of relaxing, a lot of playing, plus some shopping & eating out on the side. So nice to be home, but we're always anxious to be back with Rob, too.

park fun + bed treats...my mom never forgets them! 

mmmm, sorbet pops for the pea!

Jaqs had something of an allergy attack last week, so she wasn't feeling so great. That coupled with some other things going on made for a really crappy week. I was determined to have a better weekend, and that we did! 

Jaqs' half birthday was Saturday, so she got to have donut holes for the first time to celebrate! Momma hadn't been to the store in nearly 2 weeks, so it was the perfect distraction for a long grocery trip ;) She LOVED them. She started by licking them to death then got so excited when she actually tasted it. Silly girl. I love her.

Rob had a really long week, so when he requested frito pies for dinner, I jumped right on it. We had a family night in (except for a trip to Target for The Little Mermaid) on Saturday and just relaxed together. It was nice to hang out & watch a few of the many shows stacked up on our DVR!

 I made pumpkin spice pancakes on Sunday morning...we have pumpkin EVERYTHING in October! :) It's a must, right? We spent the rest of the morning bumming around together before it was time for Rob to go to work. Thank goodness for friends to spend Sunday afternoon/evenings with!

Hope your Monday is off to a good start!

bye week{end}

Happy Fall, y'all! Did you all enjoy your first official fall weekend?! We finally had a cool down, and the 80 degree temps have never felt better. We've been spending more time outside than in, and that makes for one happy little girl in this house.

Another thing that makes for a happy tot? Having daddy home! This was our open week, so Rob got home Friday around 4:30 & was home until noon on Sunday. It was GLORIOUS! This weekend is always so refreshing and gears us all up for district play which begins this week.

We took it pretty easy on Friday. It rained ALL day long which was SO needed, and we were glad to have it. We snuggled, ate taco soup, and watched recorded football games....ahh, spending time together on a Friday night during football season is bliss!

On Saturday, we headed for the park not too long after breakfast to enjoy the crisp (okay, 75 degree) morning. Of course, Jaqs would rather be no where else than the park! We have pretty much been living there over the last couple of weeks, and she has no qualms about that. 

We also went to the pet store to look at the "eesh" then had lunch with our friends before nap time!

That evening, we had a birthday party to go to...

It was at our bowling/arcade/family center, and it was so much fun!

 Little Miss Piggy ate three pieces of pizza and had a great time running around from game to game with her daddy then picking out some REAL prizes with her tickets ;)

 Of course, all good things must end, so it's back to just me and the pea now that daddy is back to work, but that's okay because we had a lot of QT together this weekend. Loved every minute. We are blessed.

**This picture has nothing to do with the weekend, but J has a little scrape on her leg, and she's been folded up in a pretzel to kiss it too many times to count this weekend. Silly baby!**

 I hope your week is off to a great start! I'm planning to be around the blog a little more this week than I have over the past few...missing my bloggy buds! Wish me luck ;)
