A weekend to remember.

     Well I am wanting to be more intentional of my blog. My goal is to try and blog at least 2 or 3 times a month. I am going to start printing my blogs into books. I am so excited about that. I have been blogging since 2011. I wish I would have started when Tanner was born but at least he was only a year old. Billy and I had a blog going briefly together before Tanner was born but did not keep up with it so I started this one. I want to keep up with what me and Billy and the kids are up to. This weekend was great we just hung around here. It's been nice the last several weekends celebrating birthdays, new homes, picnics, and bridal showers with family and friends but sometimes it is SUPER nice not to have anything on the agenda. Friday the kids and I went grocery shopping and baked cookies for the neighbors. My neighbor Tom helped me with the mower on Thurs and we wanted to say thanks. Tanner was so excited to use the mixer by him self. Then Saturday I got up early and ran with Ashlee. It was an amazing long run with one of my favorite people. Then later the kids and I went to target for a few things then home for naps and movie. Billy took a break from studying to take a walk with the boys and I. They just completely tore up the roads in our neighborhood and put in new roads. SO NICE!! (I know it doesn't take much to make me happy these days) Then later that evening the boys had so much fun playing outside we decided to do dinner out there. They loved it. The best part for me was yesterday morning when Tanner got up one of the first things he said was "mommy that sure was a cool picnic we had outside last night." My heart!! :) Billy and I took the boys to church and heard a great message in our series "Under Pressure". The best thing I received from it was to be content with what you have.   Proverbs 15:16-17.  "Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.  Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred."  We then went to lunch at Firehouse Subs. Tanner's favorite 2 places to eat lately are Firehouse Subs or Bob Evans. I'm thinking we need to turn him onto a new place as the last few weeks after church we either eat at one of these 2 places. :) After lunch Holden went down for his nap and stayed home with daddy while Tanner and I ran out to get supplies for our crafts we wanted to do. I always tease that I'm not that crafty but honestly I love doing these kind of things with my boys. We made some cute things today. There were a couple moments(specifically while using my hot glue gun) that I said out loud "I can't do this." and Tanner said, "You can do it mommy. I know you can." He sure has a way with words. :) We finished our projects and the boys played outside digging in the dirt, running around, and playing on their swing set. They played for a good 2 or more hours and got completely filthy. Then we headed inside for baths and PJ's and Holden and I ran and got Zaxby's for dinner. Nothing makes me happier than my boys all smelling sweet and clean and being in their cute Halloween Pj's. There was not any big event but for me it will be one of those weekends I will always remember. Posting some pictures from our weekend.
