Cabela's comes to the south and garden update

Here's a little garden update. We started growing our tomato plants inside because we started them from seeds and they are doing great! Except one is struggling but we have faith! :) They were growing out of the egg cartons so we moved them to some bigger pots so they could grow before we put them in the ground.

Today was a big day, opening day of the first Cabela's not only in Georgia but the Southeast! The closest one is in Charleston, WV!! It was awesome that they opened one right in Augusta, GA. They were giving away up to $250 gift cards to the first 500 people so Vince and I thought we'd give it a go. We got there an hour early and our chances looked pretty good. The weather was great and Vince had a good time being in the stroller and walking around entertaining people. Ryan ended up coming for a long lunch break right before it opened and had seen that the line had wrapped around where we couldn't see and we didn't end up being the first 500. But it was still fun and got a bunch of free stuff they were handing out, entered a sweepstake and Ryan bought some .22 ammo.

It was so cute this morning when he was eating his oatmeal he started to see Elmo and got excited and a big smile, then if I covered him up again with more oatmeal he'd fuss. He loves his Elmo!

This is in line at Cabelas. trooper with Elmo

It was fun, instead of cutting the red ribbon for the grand opening, the had an archer shoot an arrow through the ribbon. You can see him in the tree stand and I could actually see it break the ribbon from where I was standing.

The boys

Vince was getting pretty tired. We're starting to transition from 2 to 1 naps and he stayed up later than normal without a nap, but he did well.

It was cute, they had music going and I look down at Vince and he was dancing a little. I tried to get it on film, but he was done

Happy boy, sick boy

These first 2 pictures are from a couple weeks ago right before church. I actually put a tie on him and he was TOO CUTE!! Love my little man!

On St Patrick's Day, we had a sick boy in the house. :( He woke up with a fever and felt crummy all day. Thankfully it was short lived and he was better the next day, but this Irish lad wasn't doing any jigs. I was able to catch some smiles for a few moments after one of his naps though.

He absolutely LOVES looking out his window. He loves looking at all the cars go by and the birds, and will tell me them. 

Another new thing is he LOVES the dish towels I hang on the oven door. He takes them all the time dragging them around like they're his blankie. I'll find them scattered all over the house. I'll need one to dry my hands or dishes and it's gone, Ss I put a new one out and sure enough he comes in a snatches it! haha It's pretty funny and cute. I have no idea why he likes them so much. He'll also substitute a white onsie on occasion if it's nearby. :)

This is later in the afternoon when he was TIRED. He NEVER lays down like this for more than a few seconds unless he's exhausted. It looked so cute, and I had to take some pictures before putting him back in bed.

Sweet Home Alabama

I always try to think of these "catchy" title and they usually end up being corny and I just laugh. No, we are not moving to Alabama, but a couple weeks ago Vince and I went to visit one of my best friends', Jaynee. Ryan went on a business trip/convention for a week and we decided to go visit friends. It worked out well because her husband was away on military training too so the kids could play and we could get together and help pass the time. Jaynee lives in Fort Rucker, AL which is about 6 hrs away. We had tons of fun even though the weather wasn't the best. We went to the park, a petting zoo, frozen yogurt, a lake and just hung out and had fun. Vince and Navy got along pretty well, most of the time, but sharing is always a fun factor to throw in the mix, especially since Vince is starting to not want to share, but they did really good and had fun. Navy was a good sport sharing her toys. :)

Jaynee has this awesome double stroller which Vince loved, Navy wasn't the biggest fan at that time! haha

Frozen yogurt

We all loved it. 

Side note: Vince LOVES this short video we watch on youtube called "Elmos song." So before we came we were watching elmos song and he got excited and was "dancing" and bumped his chin on the coffee table and was bleeding! I felt so bad, but he's a trooper. 

Vince loves books and is starting to "read" on his own sometimes! I love watching him learn!

Cool girl

Vince loved this big stuffed giraffe, he went to it all the time

Wednesday we went to this petting zoo. It was pretty neat and saw lots of farm animals. We read farm books a lot so it was fun for Vince to actually see the animals.

He loved the John Deere tractor that one of the owners was driving. He watched it the whole time and kept pointing at it. He says vroom, vroom, a lot when he sees tractors or lawn mowers. So cute!

He didn't quite no what to think of the cowboy, stick your face in the picture, board. haha

Thanks Jaynee and Navy, we had a blast!

Best Day in March, thus far

Today was a GREAT day! First off, it's my little brother Seans, birthday!! Happy Birthday Sean! Secondly and the rest of my reasons is my two favorite men in my life, Ryan and Vince!!! Ryan had been gone for business for the past couple days, getting home last night, so we spent all together as a family and it was so good! We cleaned up the backyard, the weather was sunny and warm, went on a walk, did errands together and had a BBQ on the back porch. Seriously, so good!! I'm a very blessed woman! :)

Vince loved being out of the deck cruising around, checking things out, but knew to not touch the BBQ because it was hot. We'll say, "don't touch, it's hot." Then he'll say, "hot," it's so cute!

I won this cilantro plant at a Bunco party and LOVE it!! Can't wait to use it and it's growing so well, thanks Jenny!

This is where our future garden is going. We bought a bunch of seeds today and already started growing some in egg cartons to get them going. We are so excited!!!

He was just exploring, it's so fun to watch him in his own world

My love

We don't have a lawn table but re-purposed a table from college. Thanks Jordan and Courtney, remember this table?! Food was delicious!

Look at this face!

Eating his BBQ

I think the picture says what he thought of it :)
