weekend happenings

Hope you all are having a good weekend!

We don't have too much going on today besides a little family birthday get together for Brent :) We like to celebrate!

Friday night we went to dinner with Brent's boss and some friends. It was fun and always so nice of them to invite us.

On Friday night, I also met the SWEETEST girl who reads my blog. At dinner, a few people were asking me if I had met people, that I didn't know, that read my blog. It was pretty ironic because thirty minutes later Ashley came up to me. It was so fun to meet her. She was so genuine and it really warmed my heart to hear her talk about how much she enjoys reading. I know I get comments but to truly hear it from someone makes it seem real. Sometimes I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I write my journal online and people want to read it. Hi Ashley! :)

Saturday we went to get the kids new car seats. Gosh, I'm starting to say kids instead of babies :( They are still babies, right?? :( We knew we were getting the Britax Boulevard, but apparently they have come out with a second model and we couldn't decide which. So I wanted to do a bit more research and find who has the best prices. Two at a time is a big chunk of change. Brent had Knox test out a few ;)

Such a little man man. Brent loves him in polos. I'm all about his john johns. He has all of his life to wear polos and only a brief time to do the baby boy stuff :) He does look pretty stinking cute either way. 

While Knox & Sloane took their afternoon nap, I ran to Fresh Market. They opened one just down the road from us and then scheduled a Whole Foods to open next summer. It will be interesting because they aren't even a mile from one another. Anyways, I've been to Whole Foods lots because we have one, it's just across town. I've been to a Fresh Market, but just not this one. Anyways, it was nice. Speciality items, especially expensive prices. I did pick up a few things, including granola brittle. Random, but good. 

At the check-out they also had me taste test some yogurt pretezels. I opted for the lemon over orange. It was SO good. It tasted like lemon chiffon. I told the girl I wanted a big and she sent the bag boy to go get them. Well, they were out! Boo. She had already scanned a bar code so I went ahead and took the orange. 

When the babies woke up, we went to a big indoor shopping fair. It comes twice a year and they have tons and tons of booths. We actually walked by them all. A lot of them had some cute things, but some had quite a few of the same items. Knox & Sloane did great. They snacked on Mum Mums and smiled at people :) Mum Mums are so awesome at keeping them occupied in the stroller. 

I found a little china cabinet I REALLY like, but I've kind of talked myself out of getting it. We did pick up a dough Christmas ornament and and some gift boxes. 

Last night, I went to sleep at 7:30. We've been staying up way too late and I knew it was catching up with me. Getting some sleep and missing a meal, probably did me well :)

Here was my view this morning. I did breakfast for the nuggets and Brent is feeding them :) Sometimes I still can't believe there are two.

I'm excited to have our family over today. Yummy food and good company. There will be about 30 kaiser rolls involved. 

I know one day Sundays will mean Knox & Sloane have school the next day and while that seems so far away, I know it will be here before we know it. This week they will be eleven months old. Time, slow down. I look forward to Sundays as we run around getting them ready for church, which we plan to get into the swing of this fall. Fall, gosh I look forward to fall. Let this heat leave. Okay, now I'm starting to ramble. Off to cook!
