NOLA Day 2

So, as we are driving home, I've decided to finish blogging about our amazing weekend getaway trip.

Saturday was perfect. I woke up at 6:38, rolled over, back to sleep!! Woohoo!! Didn't get out of bed till 8! It's the little things...

Had an amazing breakfast at Daisy Dukes right across from our hotel. And they gave us a HUGE cup of coffee to go. Yay. Took that cup of coffee and went and sat by the rooftop pool while reading the Word. Such a beautiful and peaceful time. Then set out for the day. Went straight for Magazine Street. We're big fans. Walked around awesome antique stores. Found an incredible all natural baby store - bought Hayes a happy and a baby gift for my friend Sarah. Then had lunch at a Juan's flying burrito - yum!! Thanks Hannah for suggesting that! And ended our trip at Sucre. My favorite place ever. I was like... Well like a kid in a candy store (cause I was in a candy store). And now we are journeying home... Thanks for the fun time New Orleans!

New Orleans Anniversary Trip

Seth and I try to go on a little getaway every year for anniversary. This year we chose New Orleans! We have so much fun in the city - with so many options of adventures to do!!

My great friend from Hattiesburg, Hannah, who I've known my whole life, was there because she will be playing Elle Woods in Legally Blonde in a month!! Friday was her 25th bday so I was so excited to see her and celebrate! We grew up sharing birthday parties as we are both July Babies.

Seth and I stayed in a beautiful hotel that was part of a gift : ) and we ate dinner at The Rum House- so yummy and fun!! Then, of course, ended our night at Cafe du Monde.

I'm so thankful we go on adventures like this. And so blessed to have a wonderful husband who loves me and encourages me! God is good!!

Summer Fun

Well Hello Again.

I am terrible at blogging.

Let's try to catch us all up!

We have been having a great summer. I am having a blast being at home with Hayes and enjoying every day of summer!! A while back Seth's mom, Melinda, came over and painted lots of furniture at my house. My dining room is amazing now! Here is a quick picture of the table (now white!) and a table runner I made that Melinda helped me with!

Then, Hayes had his first haircut!  He was super sleepy and we had ice cream to keep him distracted : ) Seemed to do the trick. Sweet little man...

 Just had to throw this in... Silly Hayes.

 Hayes is Seth's Number 1 helper. Here, they are fixing something (super important, I'm sure)...

 And this is the beginning of our Birthday Week at the beach!! We sat on this beautiful beach and watched the sunset. Happy Birthday to us...

 Best Chocolate Cake ever... Bravo, Thank you.

 Great book - I'm sure.... We watched the video series at a church camp we helped with. Highly recommend.

 Um... hello precious. Early morning on the beach with this angel.

 Having a great time with the band in Panama City Beach. Love my sweet friend Laura.

 Boat!!

 Some Birthday presents in my newly redone dining room... LOVE THEM.

 Hi Hayes. Sure - Why not climb in the water hose thing...

 Chickfila host "Cow appreciation day" so, you dress us like a cow and get free food. Yes, please. My pleasure...

 Hayes' new favorite activities include anything in the garage. Wagon. Riding Lawn mower. So, when he wants out there, he stands at the door and cries. Pitiful baby.

Not that these pictures and short descriptions really update you on us... but at least you can see what we've been doing. We have really enjoyed about 2 weeks at home without much travel. And Hayes has been to the pool several times. He actually loves swimming so we have really enjoyed days at the pool. Seth and I leave for Guatemala in a few weeks. So, please keep us in your prayers as we get ready to serve down there. Especially as we are away from Hayes. That will be the hardest part for me!!
