Looking back at my pics from last week, I didn’t take nearly as many. It was also a pretty chill week and no sporting events. + Went to Mexican for Drew’s birthday, and Alex got this really cool looking meal. I still need to ask him again what it was called.

She is such a tom boy. 🙂 + Drew turned 26 and we all shared the margarita tower. + Before Christmas Rob had bought…

I debated on continuing my weekly summary posts. I decided to continue sharing them, but looking back at my some weekly posts from years ago, I decided to try to get back to a more abbreviated layout. So here is the 1st one for 2024!! One of my Christmas gifts from my Amazon list was this Bento container that I used to bring my breakfast in to work. I like it. I just wish the stackable snapped together. Another Christmas gift that I’ve been enjoying are my new cat/dog socks from Trey. I love fun socks. I find so much…

On Dec. 15th we headed down to Florida to get on a cruise ship, so I’ll be writing separate posts about that week soon. Here’s a pic that makes me laugh. This was when were in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The kids acting like our popperazzi. We got back to Auburn on Dec. 23rd and quickly began to unpack and wash clothes. Rob’s Dad and Step Mom (Randy & Pam) got into town that day and were actually staying with…

Highlights for Week 50 11-15, 2023 Our neighbor behind us cut down some trees that were covering their backyard, but they were actually in our yard. We were ok with it.

Here we are for another highlight post for week Dec. 4-10 2023 Old couches New couches…They very much look the same, but they are different brands. We’re just happy to have firmer couches that aren’t so dilapidated. We got our yard smoothed out and resodded. To God be the Glory! What a beautiful sunset I got to see one night when I was out getting some shopping done. Every year at my work holiday lunch, they draw names for door prizes. In the 12 years, I’ve been here I’ve never won. I finally won!! I picked out this pretty tree.…

Another week down (Nov. 27-Dec 3, 2023) and how are we so close to the end of the year?!?!? This is not deja vu or a picture from a month ago. Yes, we had to have more of our yard dug up…luckily only dirt this time and not driveway. Our water main had a leak in it. I’m thankful we hadn’t had our yard fixed and resodded yet. We saw Mean Girls at the Gogue. It was pretty good. Saturday, we went and got our tree. Drew and Caitlyn also got a tree. It was supposed to be monsooning that…

Here we are for another weekly highlights for Week 44 – Oct. 30-Nov 5, 2023 With Rob being out of town I got a lot done. I organized our extra closet in our bedroom. Before: After: My current favorite candle I sat down the other day and felt something on my arm and ended up finding this guy, who I think must have landed on my when I was outside. I ended up putting him a jar and letting him go outside. The fall colors are just amazing right now. On Halloween, I made a Keto friendly pumpkin bread. I…

Here we are for another catch up weekly highlights post for Oct 2-8 & Oct 9-15! I’ll say these last 2 weeks have been filled some highs and a major low. I’m just going to cover the highs in this post. I’m going to write a post on the major low when everything is resolved. >>>Read about it here. In pottery class we learned how to glaze our pieces. I had a lot of pieces to glaze and took a while. Rob and Drew went to the big rivalry game Auburn High vs Opelika. Auburn came back and won in…

Here we are for week 39 (Sept. 25-Oct. 1), which ended with my birthday celebrations over the weekend. The sunrise on Monday was spectacular!

My pottery class creations Real life people… Still getting some pretty flowers from the garden even though most of it needs to be torn out. I decorated for fall, which helped my bad mood. Got a…

Happy Monday, yall! I feel like I blinked and the weekend was over. I’m tired this morning. Here we are for a double of my weekly highlights (Sept. 11-17 & 18-24). I don’t feel like the last 2 weeks have been that eventful at least that’s not what’s showing up on my iphone camera rolls. Alex and Madison came over to discuss a potential cruise at Christmas. The night before Alex had to go to the ER to get 4 stitches in his forehead from a shelf falling on him at work. He’s ok, but sitting in the ER for…

Here we are for another weekly post. (August 7th-13th, 2023) I use Walmart pickup. I was so excited to see on the app recently where they give you the option to not have them put everything in bags. So I ended up ordering these and I really like them. So easy to bring inside and unload. The weekend before school started we went and heard the marching band play through all their stand tunes. It always gets us so excited for football. Drew, Caitlyn, and Bigsby came. We also brought Kayleigh. We finally got our hands on some of this…
