Basketball, Beach, & a Bride.....

.......Oh my!!!!

 

We had a full but super fun weekend! 

 

We kicked it off on Friday night with the arrival of 'Culka aka my mother in law!  Deployment is exhausting in so many ways and sometimes just having someone here to help entertain the boys or to be with them while I get out a little bit is such a blessing!

 

Saturday morning brought basketball games for Colby & Brayden!  They are playing in a new league this year and it has been a much more positive experience than last year!  Brayden had a game at 11 and Colby had back to back games at 1 & 2.  Makes for a long day at the gym for a certain 2 year old but he really does pretty well!  He is definitely his big brothers #1 fan and loves cheering them on!

 

Brayden and some of his team watching the end of the game before theirs!

 

Colby & his team with their coach after the 2nd game! (Colby is #9!)
 

I ended the day Saturday with a sunset walk on the beach with my bestie, Tamra!  It was SUCH a blessing!  We live on the same street {how awesome is that??!!} but are both in really busy seasons of life so I cherish the rare chances we get to spend time sharing our hearts and catching up just the 2 of us! {you know...because between us we have 6 awesome little people who we love dearly but they don't make conversation all that easy ;)}  We cannot wait for this summer full of long days soaking up the sun at the beach!!

 

The scenery on our beach walk ~ absolutely beautiful!   So blessed to live here!
 

Sunday morning we skipped church and stayed home for the morning.  We've been fighting some kind of cold junk for over a week so I decided better to not put Dylan in the nursery.  It was a relaxing morning!  That afternoon, I headed out to a bridal shower for a sweet friends daughter.  Everything was really cute and I had a great time!

all of the decor at the shower was SO cute!!
 

we played the toilet paper dress game and well....lets just all agree that you don't want me to have any part in designing your wedding dress! ha!! {i must point out that we weren't finished ~ we ran out of time,  but seriously?!  I couldn't stop laughing!}  But Wendy rocked that half done dress didn't she?! ;)
 

One of the best parts of our weekend was getting to chat with John on FaceTime!!  I'm thankful that we get to email almost daily but there is just something about getting to actually see his face that just puts a smile on all of our faces!! 

 

This week is a pretty busy one ~ basketball playoffs, doctor & vet appointments, haircuts for me & the boys ~ you know how it is! ;)  But also?  There is some fun sprinkled in there too like shopping w/ another bestie and a massage appointment!  Busy but blessed!  Hope your week is off to a great start!! =)
