T-Rex

This past weekend, the fam and I had lunch at T-Rex Cafe at The Legends Outlet Mall.  I don't have that much to write about it, except to say that the food was better than I'd thought it would be and the boys had a great time!  The restaurant has a rainforest-y feel with life-sized dinosaurs that make noises and move.  There are a few really big aquariums filled with all kinds of tropical fish, as well. 

It Flies

I'm officially a mother of a 5 year old.  Where does the time go???

I am so proud to be this little person's mom, and he's brought me nothing but joy.  

Happy Birthday to my little big man.

EAT :: Cupcakes!

They just make people happy, no?

If you're in Atlanta--go get your happy on at CamiCakes.

My Life!

These boys of mine.

They just warm my heart daily.  It's funny watching the youngest do the same things that the oldest did at the same age.  They both are obsessed with cars and trucks, and they both love to play with them along the window sills.

And of course, Max, is such a good big brother.  They fight a lot, but they hug a lot too.

Thankfully, it looks like Atlanta has made it to the 80+ degree temperatures, and it should be here to stay!  Hence, the shirtless boys.

Happy Thursday!

Curls baby...

Hey ya'lls!  I haven't posted in a while, and so I decided to conjure up something to post about.  The quickest easiest posts to do...........hair posts!

Happy New Year!

So it's officially 2013.  It is also officially a really gloomy, rainy day in the A(tl).  I'm assuming most of the east is having fairly crummy weather.  To brighten things up a bit--here are a few pics of me and the boys at the beach over the holiday.  

Let the Festivities Begin...

 Headed to a Halloween party this past weekend.

 So what plans do you all have for All Hallows Eve?

Crotch Fruit Fridays

My two crazy kids.

They like to lounge on my bed, especially when it is not made and is extra messy, or has laundered clothes all over it.  I guess rolling around in clothes while watching cartoons are their own little slice of heaven.

In other news, we found a new babysitter for our date nights.  Our usual sitter (hub's cousin) moved back to the Bahamas, so the future was not looking bright for us.  Just in time, a friend recommended a sitter she knew who just recently moved to our area.  She's a full time nanny, who picks up extra babysitting cash on the weekends.  We have a date night scheduled for tomorrow.  It is much needed!

Hope you all have a super-duper weekend!  I have some product reviews to be posted soon too.  So, be on the lookout!

Pumpkin Patch 2012

So this past weekend, we made our yearly jaunt to the pumpkin patch (last years post here).  Max had been begging us for weeks now.  There are several pumpkin patches on the outskirts of Atlanta, but we usually go to Yule Forest.  They offer most of the usuals, i.e. hayride, petting zoo, pumpkins (of course).  They also have bounce houses and things of that nature for the smaller kids.  I can't wait until our boys get a bit bigger so that we can go to another pumpkin patch in the area that has a huge 4 acre corn maze!  In due time...

So what did you guys do over the weekend?

Crotch Fruit Fridays!

Hanging out in downtown Decatur.

Crotch Fruit Fridays!

...with a daddy cameo.

Have a great weekend!  I may have a new recipe post up soon!

Crotch Fruit Fridays (yes, a new theme)

Say hello to Cruz enjoying his very first PB&J sandwich.  He seemed to enjoy it immensely.  Probably more so because it wasn't his.  He is like the "honeybadger"--he just takes what he wants.  We are all constantly reminded that he is mobile and can pull things off of tables and counter tops.  Lesson learned.....again.

Have a great weekend, guys...

Biloxi Blues...

So, this past Friday, me and the family took a quick trip down to the Gulf Coast city of Biloxi, MS.  The hubs had some work to take care of there, and me the kids tagged along to check out the little town of Bilox/Gulfport as I'd never been there.  While he worked, we played.  Max didn't mind the murky water at all and was all in it.  Cruz, on the other hand, didn't want anything to do with it.  Notice he's right on the edge of the water--that's as close as I could coax him to get, and he is a water lover (pool, clear Bahamian waters, etc.)!  So I know it has to be the color. lol  I won't bore you with a lot of talk, but I will say that brown ocean aside--the place is beautiful, and the people are so friendly!

Happy Monday!

In case you were wondering...

...yes, he's mobile. :)

Though, he's got this arms-stretched-out Frankenstein walk thing going on. haha

It's official...

...

I'm a soccer mom!!!!  :^D


This is a temporary uniform.  They get their real uniforms next week.  Lets go Thunder!!!

Yes, I luv fashion...

...but sometimes I "wear" my baby. :^)

Just another day at the park

The high today is suppose to be 75 degrees.  Yes, here in Atlanta...in February.  So obviously, today was a "park day".  We went to my favorite place in all of ATL--Piedmont Park.  It's like Atlanta's "Central Park", just to give you an idea of how popular it is, and big, though I don't think it's quite as big (as Central Park).  For once, I didn't forget to bring my camera.  Took a few snaps just to show you this lovely green space where I can usually be found on a nice day.  I can't wait until spring, when everything turns green again...

You can see the Midtown skyline in the distance.

Please disregard my bare (and tired) looking face. haha

In the summer, a lot of ppl usually lay out in this circle.

His first time in the swing.

I'll assume he's thrilled. :)

Enjoy your day!
