summertime and sprinkles

We are kicking summer off right with a sweet treat. 
White cake+vanilla frosting+(Heidi's favorite) sprinkles!! 
There is not a better way than that. The kids are getting in on the action and loving every single minute.
It's super smokin' hot here in TN. Plus it's the middle of the day, so this little baking project helped break up the afternoon and keep us busy.. Eeehh, or maybe I just wanted some cake?!  



the sprinkles are ready to be sprinkled
i took this right before Thomas grabbed a hand full of icing.
(smash cake redo??) No sir.
I smoothed it back out and Heidi tossed on some butterfly sprinkles. 






Ta-Da.. Well done Heids!!




I have literally been walking around in the voice of Olaf..singing SUMMER!!! The babies have no idea what that's even from, but they think it's hysterical. 
And that makes me laugh... 

 As soon as John gets home the kids know what time it is.. A ride on the ranger. 
Or Heidi likes to call it "Go for ride"
I can take them out but its so crazy difficult without Thomas walking just yet. And Heidi heads for all the places she shouldn't.. Like the fire pit, for example, or the tree line that hosts a million poison ivy leaves. 
An extra set of Daddy hands sure helps a Momma out. 

popsicles while we wait for Daddy to get home.


I'm so grateful the babies have all the freedom to roam around and play out here. We're making memories. 

Cheers to the summer and all the pool dips, popsicle licks, and sweet sunshine filled days ahead. 
we love it


and a foggy mirror selfie..  
y'all who has time for laundry on the first day of SUMMER anyways? 

God is so good. I'm so thankful for my sweet blessings and being able to stay home and play. 
This is beyond the best job, ever!  

Sweet Summertime!! Is that one word?? 
According to Rascal Flats it is, so I'm just going with it.

Weekends in Nash // life lately



We have really been living it up on the weekends lately. A night out two weekends in a row is very unusual for us.
 We have had a busy city these last few weeks. CMA fest and Stanley Cup Finals have Nashville jam packed with all the kinds of fun. SO much FUN!! 

We were able to catch a rooftop concert by Luke Bryan before heading into the arena for the big game.



Ever since I was a little girl my parents would get season tickets for the Nashville Predators.. And this year they have made it farther than they've ever before. 


My sweet Dad has been so kind to let us in on all the fun lately. What's even sweeter is my Momma, who has been able to watch my babies so I could participate in all the fun. Just all around FUN for everyone.

We also celebrated one of my childhood friends and her soon to be baby last weekend! It was a fun time with all the ladies. Bring on all the tiny babies. I have several friends all expecting around the same time. It's going to be a fun, busy year!



Have a happy Monday!

summer photo session

We finally got around to taking family pictures. It has been almost a year since we had them professionally done. John Thomas was a newborn as a matter of fact! I think we were well over due for more.

With Heidi just turning two, and Thomas' big FIRST birthday we thought this would be the perfect time for a little photo shoot. I never want to forget these precious times. The babies are growing so fast, and changing each and every day. 






We used my good friend from high school, Kendra. She takes such great pictures. She can really capture all the fun faces and expressions of the babies. All while keeping the photo  simple, bright and airy. Just how I like it. 





I was so nervous how they would both do for pictures. Y'all know the struggle to get both babies to look at a camera, much less SMILE. 


 my handsome boys


A game of pat-a-cake to lighten the mood


she felt like such a big girl on this swing





 I'm counting my blessings. 
Have a great week everyone.
