lake house over spring break

We didn't have any major plans for Spring Break and were so excited when Pooh invited us to stay with her for a few days at her Lake House!--How can we say no to that?!  We love her, and we love the Lake House!

Shopping with these two...at 9 PM is a complete disaster.  

R and I enjoyed morning walks around the neighborhood (with coffee in hand of course!) almost every morning we were there!

My favorite thing to do was sit out on the deck, over looking the lake and doing my Quiet Time.  Since it was during LENT I had so much goodness to soak in while participating in She Reads Truth's "Near the Cross" study...(still want to do a full recap on that soon).  

Lunch with my love!

Pooh introduced someone to bomb pops!!

We decided to do something fishing...which basically turned into hanging out on the lake out in our lawn chairs and soaking up with sun.  

This is his, "I'm in time out for doing something cray like trying to get in the lake in my muck boots, and I'm not happy about it" face.  

One of my requirement for the week was to go to SCOOPS.  Success!!

Another morning walk...this time R asked me, "Why don't you ever run mom?  Is that something only men do?"  Yeah...that's why! ;)

He is definitely spoiled by Pooh.  McDonald's pancakes delivery!  

I think he enjoyed my hammock more than I did that week!  Great spot for playing his iPad! ;)

More fitchin'!  

That turned into this...

We were so thankful for our time away from this crazy busy every day world called "life" to enjoy each other and everything God has blessed us with!  Thank you Pooh for your friendship!

R loves his KeeKee Mama!  =)

Oaklawn!

Last Sunday, on St. Patrick's Day--mom, dad & I drove down to the horse races to attend a fun St. Patty's Day part at the races!  We weren't able to attend last year, and I'm so glad we were able to this year!  It had been seriously beautiful last Saturday and then was extremely cold and rainy all day Sunday--boo!  But we still had fun!  

We went outside for the third race because it was named after our party of people!  How fun!

We had a blast, and I am already looking forward to next year's party!  =)

While I was away...Ryder man was at his Mimi's being the crazy boy that he is!  :P

They always have too much fun out on the farm!

Spring Break @ Home

We have had a great Spring Break!  Especially since we didn't really have any plans!  R stayed the night at his Mimi's on Sunday night and then they went to JumpZone on Monday and had complete blast as always!  He is lucky to have such a loving, selfless, and caring Mimi!  =)

We've just been doing random things we don't usually get to do during the week, without caring about the laundry or the dishes or the house being picked up or cleaned.  It's been nice, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't ready to get back into a routine--I always am.

I've enjoyed watching this guy take naps every day and sometimes indulging in a nap myself...like I said, it's been really nice.  

Somebody found a clown nose in their dress up stuff!

We worked on some stuff in his numbers stickers book...he loves that thing!

We helped Poppy back his boat into the driveway...with a little help from Sister!  

Took my sweet boy on another bowling date...he seriously love that place!  We always have fun together!

& then of course we had to have a lunch date @ chick...I mean, we were right there!  :P

We ran into a boy from Ryder's school...Bristol!  They wanted to "be silly" together!  =)

& we always trade in his kids toy for ice cream!  I was brave letting him eat it in the car!  I just couldn't handle the crowd at chick any more!

& then I drug the poor child to TJ and Target...but he lived!  :P

Today was a chill day!  He went to the dumb with my dad, helped him out in the yard, ate lunch at KeeKee's, I tried to make him take a nap, but that didn't happen!  We went & got ice cream together (even though it was practically snowing outside) and then ate dinner with KeeKee & Poppy, watched Grey's and hit the hay!

I am truly blessed, and I love this little boy more than anything in this world! I tell him every day he is the best thing that ever happened to me!  & then he tells me, "Your the best thing that ever happened to ME!"
