So cute, right?

…to have one of these, just because it’s Tuesday and you want one.

You know you’d do it too!

…to scream with your friend via Skype over new baby clothes :)

…to stare at your computer screen trying to figure out what to blog about…

…and, to be pretty sure you need to link up for Sunday Social this week!

Hey y’all!

Yesterday was Little Boy’s first birthday! We’ve only had him a couple of months, but it’s hard to believe he’s already a year old! Monday night, Colby and I went out to Joyce and Wade’s to celebrate our sweet little man! Little Miss and Little Bit came out with their mom and dad too!

As you know, I can’t show their sweet faces, but I do have a few pictures I can share!

He loved his cake! I wish y’all could’ve heard his cute little giggle and seen his sweet little face covered in icing!

Once they got him to put his hands in the cake, he LOVED it!

Little Girl and Little Miss had so much fun on the trampolines!

Little Bit and Little Boy love their little wagon! Aren’t they the cutest??

I love celebrating the birthdays of these sweet Littles! I’m so thankful that we get to be a part of their lives, even if it is just for a short time! I pray that we get to be involved in their lives forever, and in the meantime, I’m just enjoying loving them!

Have a great Wednesday, y’all!

Hey y’all!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

Big thanks to everyone who linked up for Sunday Social yesterday! Neely and I are still seriously shocked by the number of people linking up, and we appreciate every person who takes the time to link up with us! Y’all are awesome!

Also, my little blog hit 500 followers yesterday! I still don’t know why anyone wants to read my ramblings, but I love y’all for following along! I’m working on a giveaway, and I’ll let y’all know when I get that worked out!

I don’t have too much of a weekend update, but I did get to have a little bit of fun!

My weekend started early when Becky asked to work the afternoon for me at the shop!

I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon and evening of Karen Kingsbury books, Sonic DP, and BH 90210 original flavor!

Saturday I worked, and then after work I had a fun little girls night with M and E, two girls from my church. We ordered pizza, watched a movie, and had LOTS of girl talk!

These girls are super sweet, and I loved hanging out with them! M also let me wear one of her dresses to church Sunday morning :)

Their dog Sooner was so much fun too!

He likes sitting up like this, and he will sit like that for a long time! He’s so cute!

I’m so excited this week is finally here! My bestie Jessica is coming up this weekend so we can go to Women of Faith!

Angie Smith is speaking, and Selah and CeCe Winans are performing! Angie is one of our favorite bloggers, and we both LOVE her book I Will Carry You! We’ve wanted to see her speak for a long time, and I’m so glad we get to finally see her together! Can’t wait!

Hope y’all have a great Monday!

What’s Ok with you this week? Link up with Neely and Amber!

Hey y’all!

Hope y’all are having a great week! Like the rest of the world, I’ve been totally wrapped up in the Olympics this week, so I’ve been away from the blog world.

Saturday, my sweet girls at work covered the shop for me so I could go home to see my family. I hadn’t seen my momma since April and hadn’t seen my daddy, grandparents, and best friend since March, so it was wonderful to go home, even for a quick trip.

Colby and I went home to celebrate Momma and Daddy’s birthdays. Momma’s birthday is today, and Daddy’s is tomorrow!

I have the best parents ever!

Momma made amazing enchiladas!

She also made a wonderful cheesecake. No skinnies for me!

The fam

Daddy had to work most of the weekend, but I’m so glad we got to spend a little bit of time with him. I’ve missed him a lot!

Aunt Betty was visiting, so it was wonderful to get to see her too!

Aunt Betty, Mom-mom, and Momma

After we left Mom-mom and Grandaddy’s house, Momma and I went to see Jessica and her family!

My Sweet P is getting so big!!

She was in a pageant Saturday, and she won Ultimate Grand Supreme!

She’s the cutest little girl ever!

Sunday morning was church and lunch with the family!

It was so great to spend some time at home. I think this is the longest I’ve ever gone without going home, and even though I only spent a little over 24 hours there, it was so good for my heart!

Happy Birthday Momma! I hope you have a fabulous day today!

How cool is that?

Neely and I are so honored that you guys love linking up with us! Thanks for your support! Also, big thanks again to Nathan for being an awesome host! If you don’t follow his blog, you should. Go now!

Alrighty, on to this week’s questions!

Several of these come from Lindsey from Follow the Ruels! Thanks so much Lindsey!

Here are my answers to this week’s questions!

Ohhhh, this is a tough one! Realistically, my dream job was to work in the adoption field, either with adoptive families or birth mothers. I was fortunate enough to spend three years doing both, and I wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything! Now, for a “dream” job, I would say cohost of the Today Show. No, really, I wanted to cohost with Matt Lauer. I LOVE the news, and the Today Show was always on while I was getting ready for school.

Um…sleep? Read blogs? I would probably spend lots of time with my family and friends, and maybe travel a little bit too.

3. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Katie Couric :) I’ve always been a big news fan, and I have this intense need to know what’s going on in the world. When I was in 5th grade, my class did a weather project where we had to break into groups and make up a fake weather report. I was picked to be weathergirl in my group. Our teacher videoed them, and then the class voted who gave the best report, and I won! That kinda got me thinking that news reporting might be what I wanted to do with my life, and I pursued it until my sophomore year of college.

4. What piece of career advice would you give to someone just starting out in your field?

Well…I haven’t been doing what I’m doing for very long, so I don’t feel qualified to give specific advice. But in general, I would say find something that makes you happy, do your best, and follow your heart!

5. What are your biggest pet peeves in life, blogging, or at work?

Senseless drama, in life, blogging, AND at work

6. What are your biggest fears?

My biggest fears are spiders, tornadoes, and flying in an airplane.

Your turn! Answer the questions, grab the button, and link up with Neely and me!

This week’s questions are all about fall! Neely loooooves fall weather!

…to think you should link up for The Sunday Social this week!

Hey y’all!

I’m excited to be linking up again today with Mandy at House of Rose for her vlogging series Stop & Smell the Roses!

Now it’s your turn! I wanna see your vlogs! Link ‘em up with Mandy!

Don’t forget that tomorrow marks one year of Neely and Amber’s It’s Ok! Tomorrow will be lots of fun, so you should link up with them too!

Y’all have a great Wednesday!

Hey y’all!

Hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was fun!

Friday after work, I went out to Joyce and Wade’s house. They had all of their babies plus three of Joyce’s nieces from Japan. They set up a huge slip&slide down a hill in their front yard, and the kids had a fabulous time!

Poor Little Bit kept crashing! She never smiled or laughed the whole time, but kept going down over and over!

Kazuki was hilarious!

W was one of the first to change into her swimsuit, but then she refused to go down. Colby & D finally had enough and made her go!

It was a lot of fun to watch! The Littles had fun, but the big kids did too!

Saturday I worked, and after work we all went out to celebrate Annie’s birthday! We were a couple of weeks late, but we had a great time! We went to a fun burger place and then had s’mores for dessert!

Birthday girl!

I know I say this every time I post pics of me and the girls, but we seriously have a fantastic time together! I love that we can have fun together outside of work.

Hope y’all have a great Monday!
