Friday, I see you!

This week:
I was a 'no-reply blogger' and didn't even know. I've changed this I don't know how many times and it keeps changing back. Why?? 

I sat in chocolate at work. Not one person told me.

My dogs decided to bark like crazy at 4 one morning waking Brylee up in the process.

I'm doing a sugar detox and have had the worst headache for 3 days now!

I also have the worst breakout right now - maybe from the detox? It's driving me nuts! 

A button on a shirt (that needed to be there) broke and I fixed it with a mini bobby pin.

To say I'm ready for Friday is an understatement. 

But, with those not so favorite moments this week, this week has been a good one!

ONE //   Larabars! OMG! I got the Apple Pie and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. They are both so so good, but the Cookie Dough - my word, it's sooooo dang good!

TWO //  My Nike Fuel band! A little backstory here: I got a Fuel band years ago, and then more and more fitness bands and watches were gaining popularity and I found myself wanting a FitBit but I just couldn't see dropping another $100 when there was nothing wrong with the one I had. Sometime while we lived in McAllen Brylee lost it. It wasn't until we moved to Ballinger and were getting the couches out of storage when my fuel band rolled out of it that I found it - at least 6 months! I had almost bought a FitBit. Fast forward a few months and it stopped charging. I thought for sure it was gone for good and I'd be on my way to a FitBit but my trusty little fuel band worked after about 5 factory resets. I know I don't have long before it does die completely on me, but I do enjoy when I see GOAL on it! :)

THREE // We watched A League of Their Own this week. It is one of our favorites! Brylee loved it, too!


FOUR //  On Saturday while Tate had practice Brylee and I went out for her first pedicure! It was such a fun moment.

FIVE //  A few weeks ago Heather from Life In Leggings posted about this App called Bitmoji. I downloaded it thinking I would sometimes use it - I'm afraid to say I use it all the time! I have my mom and aunts using it and Tate doesn't see my humor in it. Maybe because I do things like this to him. I'll admit, sometimes it is too much, but I get a good laugh out of it.

SIX //  Brylee and I planted some flowers. If I don't kill these we'll move on to bigger things and maybe have a real garden! I'm using that term real very loosely. We'll see. 

And that's my Friday friends! We have a softball game tonight and then leave town tomorrow morning for a Rangers game! Yay for baseball season!

Kids Behind The Blog | April

I learned three things this morning on my way to drop Brylee off at school. 

1. Jesus makes fog when he's sleepy

 2. Brylee needs to have a talk with Jesus so he can get more sleep

3. Fog makes her sneeze

To live life through my 3 year old's eyes would be amazing! Because of my lesson this morning, I thought today would be a good day to link up for The Kids Behind the Blog. I love this little link up because it kinda freezes Brylee at this age. I'll always be able to look onto these in a year from now and see how things changed month by month.

 There's a set of questions is given each month and you have a little interview with your kids and post them. If you want to know more about what the Kids Behind The Blog is Beth explained it all here.

Weekending | The Pledge of Allegience

Hi! I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend. I took a short little blogging break Thursday and Friday but I'm back now! After this week I'm not real sure how many times I'll post each week because I start back to school tomorrow so I'll have to find a 'new normal' schedule. But enough of that, lets recap my weekend!

I'm starting with Thursday. Was I off Friday? No. But we had a busy day Thursday and it needs some attention. :)
B and I had our dentist appointments (from my February goals!). It had been raining all week here off and on so we dressed in our rainboots and headed to Abilene.



I dropped Brylee off with my cousin (hi Amber!) while I went to mine. I have never in my life had a cavity, until now. Not only do I have 1, I have 3! What?! Why!? I'm the person that brushes their teeth 2 sometimes 3 times a day, floss each night and doesn't eat/drink a lot of sugary stuff! Why!?! From what she told me two of them were in hard to reach places but they are and reversible (whew!) with a prescription toothpaste. Awesome. The other on the other hand needs to be filled. The culprit for these cavities? Most likely coffee! She said it's very acidic and if it's sipped it works on your teeth longer. She suggested I drink it quickly and only once a day. Yeah, okay, probably not going to happen.  Along with that she also recommended I have all 4 wisdom teeth taken out. I have enough room for them and they're all in but she said it's very hard to reach the back of my mouth in order to clean those teeth properly. So, that brings the dilemma of having two taken out at a time while numbing my mouth or have an oral surgeon take all four out at a time.

After dropping off the prescription for my toothpaste, I picked B up and we had lunch. Yes, fresh clean teeth and we choose to have burgers for lunch. I had a wonderful lunch with my cousins and shared some fries with sweet Westen, although he really just wanted my burger!



I was super nervous about B's appointment and so was she! I've prepped her all week for this and Wednesday night she curled up in my lap and told me she was scared to have somebody mess with her teeth. I nearly canceled her appointment but I knew we needed to get it over with. Y'all, she did so good! I went to a pediatric dentist for her and I think that was the best thing! It was so kid friendly and inviting that she went right in, found a friend and played while I filled out paperwork. When they called her name she went with no fight. They gave us a tour of the office and sat her down for x-rays. I cannot get over how tiny she looks in that chair!



She took her x-rays like a champ and was moved over to the next room. They had 4 chairs per room and had a TV on the ceiling so they could watch that. B was the only one in there at the time so they changed it to the Little Mermaid, gave her some sunglasses (for the light) and went to cleaning. I was so proud of how well she did. There were a few times she would move because she was afraid of sliding out of the chair but other than that she did sooooo good! Zero cavities for this girl! We saw the x-rays of her teeth and seeing that her adult teeth are already there just hanging out (ha) made me emotional! Tate thought I was crazy but to me that just means that she is growing up!

Tate had to cancel practice due to weather so he met us for dinner. We went to Lowe's after to pick out paint color for the rest of the house (more on this later). 

Before we headed home I had to stop by CVS and pick up my $20 toothpaste. It better work a miracle!

Friday we did nothing! I made orange chicken and we stayed in all night thanks to the rainy weather.

Saturday morning we went to breakfast then Tate went to go hunting. B and I got ready and headed for San Angelo to meet my dad at the lake. Every spring break my dad and step mom spend a few days at the lake - they've done this ever since I was still in high school but now we all have families of our own so it's just that much better! My dad got her her first softball glove and ball. She is super confused and I'm no help when it comes to softball. She keeps throwing the ball with the glove - it's super cute! That's a job for Tate.

I got the kids this little bowling set. We thought it would be super fun for them until I had to reset the pins each time. Ha!

And then we went for a boat ride, a chilly one I might add. It may have been warm but it was cool on the water.

Brylee stayed the night there so I went grocery shopping before going back home. TV all to myself again - yes, ma'am! This time it was Friends.

Sunday I was all thrown off by the time change. I got up and ready to go pick Brylee up but they all slept in so I went on a search for new denim shorts. No luck. :( I'm such a weird fit. I'm hoping to find some while we are in Dallas this weekend. I did find a few fun things at Target that I'll be sharing on Friday. 

We ended the weekend with a walk to the high school and helped Tate drag the fields to get them ready for their game today. Tate got creative and hooked Layla's leash to Brylee's wagon. It all worked well until Layla drove Brylee right over a curb. We could not stop laughing!  (picture taken from the video - a little blurry, sorry!)

 

I'll end this with this little video - on the way home yesterday B just randomly started saying the Pledge of Allegiance so I had her recite it for Tate when we got home from our walk. I had no clue she even knew it! So proud. :)

Linking up with Biana.

Kid Behind The Blog | March

It's that time again for The Kids (or kid in my case) Behind The Blog link up! I love this little link up because it kinda freezes Brylee at this age. I'll always be able to look onto these in a year from now and see how things changed month by month.

 It's a set of questions is given each month and you have a little interview with your kids and post them. If you want to know more about what the Kids Behind The Blog is Beth explained it all here.

Brylee and I sat down the other day for a snack of strawberries and tilla (nutella) and we had our little interview.

1. What do you enjoy doing with mommy and daddy?

Snuggling in y'all's bed!

2. Name one thing you are really good at.

Playing with my toys, mom!

3. What is one thing we tell you often?

'Brylee don't potty in your panties!' and 'Brylee do you need to potty?'
(lol this is funny because we are always saying that- moving really did a number on potty training but we are back to being really good again!)

4. What do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to do what MooMoo (Tate's mom) does - I gave her a look like huh?- and she said 'puts her purse on her shoulder and goes shopping!'
Tate's mom will totally get a kick out of this!

5. What do you think we do when you go to bed?

Well y'all (she made a tip toe movement) and be really quiet then you get on the computer and daddy (she reclines back in her chair and props her feed up) lays here and watches TV.
Yes, most nights we do this! I think she secretly spies on us! haha!

And then we had a serious struggle trying to take a picture...

 

and then she was over it.. mama tried! :)



Have a wonderful evening, friends!
