Insta-Sunday

It's 1 am and I've been working on my final paper for the semester (WOOHOO!!). I've only put 2 pics on IG this week, I've just been busy!

Here's my pre-teen 14month old. How grown up does she look?? Loved her little UGG knock offs so much! She even has the pre teen look like "really mom?"

Sweet girl was beat today after church. Fell asleep on Mammaws shoulder.

That's all for now. Just a few more weeks in the semester, say a prayer for me if ya can!

Blessed.

2 posts in one day? Wow! Prepare to not see me for weeks hahaha. Here's what we've been up to this week on IG!

I made pumpkin chocolate chip (yummy!!) muffins one night and tried to teach Graceyn how to lick the spoon. She can't lick but that doesn't stop her from tasting!!

Goofing around at work one night testing out some new goggles AKA ski goggles! Just a shameless selfie on my part.

I loved this and all the responses! I was Tinker Twinkle Toes and Graceyn is Stampy Pickles Pants. Jarrod is Pudding Pointy Ears.. Too fun!

Super Graceyn!! My sister Jamie got this for her birthday and I love to put it on her!

As always, hacked by my loves..

Weekend Getaway!

Yesterday I had class in Lexington so Jarrod and I decided it was the perfect time to have an overnight trip without Graceyn! Jarrod's mom came over so that we wouldn't have to wake G up and we left out around 4:30am. I was in class from 8-12, while Jarrod napped in the parking garage and killed time in LEX. After class we had lunch in a rough part of town, at the best Chinese restaurant ever! It's literally a hole in the wall - the lobby has 2 tables. It was interesting BC I thought we were gonna get robbed lol! Some crazy, sketchy acting dude came in and it felt all wrong! Thankfully nothing happened :)

Then we did what I have been looking forward to for 14 months - we napped for as long as we wanted to LOL!! 3 HOURS!! At least I did, Jarrod stayed up watching TV.

That night we met some friends from Louisville and ate dinner downtown at deSha's. We had a 2nd story window seat so we had the best view overlooking downtime Lexington! After dinner (which was delish!) we enjoyed some Starbucks time and talking. Although the weather was nice the wind was chilly so we walked around for just a few minutes looking at everything. They have a beautiful fountain in the middle of downtown so we took some pics. These are the only ones of the whole trip!

We returned to the hotel and stayed up past 1am! So much for catching up on sleep, we were up at 8:30 for breakfast (couldn't miss out on continental buffet lol)

Now we are journeying home. We have misses our girl, doubt she has missed us! We facetimed her a few times and she would kiss us and go on about her business!

We are thankful for technology and grandparents allowing us a getaway this weekend!

(On Monday) whoops. And not published until Tuesday (double whoops). 

Graceyn in her made my mom and Mammaw WKU outfit. Cute girl.

Eating breakfast with Daddy before he went to work.

Jarrod got him a big ol' buck on the first day of gun season! A 200lb 10-pointer.. He also got a doe a few minutes later. There's gonna be lots of meat in the freezer! And now I have to find some way to incorporate his head into my decor. Lol!

And lastly, this silly girl. What I would have given for her to take a pacifier when she was a baby... Thankful though that was one less thing to break her from. But she found this and enjoyed playing with it!

Wedding Weekend

A few weeks ago we celebrated the marriage of my brother in law and my new sister in law! The wedding was on October 19 in IL close to St. Louis. I already blogged about what a terrible sleeper G was, and that was the excitement of the trip, aside from the wedding!

Jarrod married Jordan and Leah. He didn't even have to get online certified lol! The county they filed their marriage license in said as long as the couple saw him as a minister then he was a minister to them. He was so nervous, but he did a wonderful job! We got them the Bible above with their names engraved and gave it to them after the wedding. It was the Bible Jarrod used to preach the wedding. How sentimental!

They had a small(ish) wedding, family only! It was in a barn and it was just beautiful, Leah did a great job thinking it up! The picture above is all the guests forming a heart around the newlyweds. The parents and grandparents formed the peak of the heart. I was skeptical how this would turn out, but I was blown away when I saw it!!

And lastly the (beaming) bride and groom.

We are so excited to add a new Evans to the family - Welcome Leah!!

Since this is all I can ever remember to blog about...

This girl was into everything one day this week! She climbed in the drawers and the dryer all by herself. She was so proud.

In honor of National Best Friends day this is Graceyn and her BFF Aubree. Aubree is 6 months older than Graceyn, and half giant ;)

My little strawberry on Halloween. She was "berry" cute!

Jarrod hacked my IG one night and posted this jewel.

We had some good friends get married on Saturday in Wichita. Unfortunately I had to work so we couldn't make the trip. I posted this picture of our dialysis machine with a congratulations message.. I told them I had to save some lives that day... ;)

What a week! Graceyn turned 14 months on Friday and she just amazes me every day. Today she was hiding behind the couch and she looked out at us and said "peek-a-boo" just as serious as she could be. Jarrod and I laughed forever over that!

Blessed.
