New Table!


My good friends Ashley and David bought a new dining table and they gave me their old one! I am very appreciative as I have not had a table in about 6 months! When I eat at home, I sit on the couch. Our coffee table is too short to sit at. So I am thrilled! I went to World Market and bought these placemats that were on sale. And I had to buy some fresh flowers! Thank you Ashley and David for providing me with a place to eat my food at! :-)

Weeeeeeeeee


Today is such a beautiful day!! Bella and I were running some errands and I let her have her window rolled down! She has never been the dog to hang out the window but she did today and LOVED it! She was so cute! I love her ears in the picture above!!!

Another Day with Camden!!!

On Saturday, Ashley and David ventured off to Ikea in Charlotte which meant I got to hang out with Camden for the day!! We had so much fun again! First we went to eat lunch at Armadillo Grill, one of my very favorites! Then, we went to the Museum of Natural Sciences downtown. I love this museum so much! We spent a good 3 hours there. Above is Camden in the infamous tree with bats!

This is Camden in a dinosaur's footprint! This was by far his favorite part of the museum! We hung out here for probably 20 minutes and even went back to it again later!! We went to story time at the museum and it was all about turtles. I found it quite entertaining and educational myself!


Emily was keeping Anderson for the day so we headed over there in the afternoon for some fun hangout time! This is Anderson, Camden and Levi. One of the funniest things ever was that Emily and I (but mainly Emily) dressed Anderson up in Mecaden's old clothes. We nicknamed him Andrea and had quite a few laughs! I know it seems so mean but at least he is young enough not to be scarred from it! As curious as you might be, I am going to spare you of the pictures I took of him dressed up since my blog is not private! :-)

Sweet Levi!!!


This is Camden and Mecaden. To my understanding, they have an arranged marriage so they decided to have a little date night! Look at Mecaden puckering up!! So cute!


Hug time!


Look at Camden caring for his girl! Mecaden Brown is such a cute name!



This was their dinner date! Zaxby's and green beans! Look at them laughing!!

Afterwards Camden and I headed home! Emily and Anderson came too! I had such a great Saturday! I can't wait to do it again!!

Goodbye, Laura!

Tonight me and several friends got together for a girls night out! We have been planning on doing this for a while but tonight we did it as more of a going away night for Laura. She is moving to the beach (along with Caleb and Grace Elizabeth of course!) and leaving in the morning!! I am so sad to see her go! I know I will still see her since her family lives here and I may even get to visit her down at the beach some! Laura was my suite-mate at Meredith College and my roommate in an apartment after that for almost 2 years. This past year she lived about 3 miles away from me. She is one of my dearest friends so I am definitely sad to see her go! Anyway, we went to eat at Olive Garden and stayed and talked for a long time! I also dropped Laura off and got to play with Grace Elizabeth and say goodbye to her as well!

Emily, me, Laura, Ashley and Chelsea. These are the girls that I have playgroup with every week. I have been friends with them all for a very long time but our hangout time has come to mean so much to me and I am so thankful for them. We will miss having Laura apart of the group!

Good luck to the Robinson family!!! I love you guys!

Pullen Park


And today we went to Pullen Park! The rides just open (not the train though) so we headed over there with our good friends Heather and Hugh. Heather is another nanny and Hugh is a year older then John. We hang out with them once or twice a week and have SO much fun!!! Above is John and Hugh holding hands..... they did this completely on their own!



This was John's first time riding the boats (with me anyway). He had so much fun on them!!!



We will definitely be heading back to Pullen a lot more this spring and summer!

Shelley Lake

This week we went to Shelley Lake with Ashley, Camden and Anderson. It was such a beautiful day and we had so much fun! This is the boys feeding the ducks and geese.


The park at Shelley Lake is definitely my favorite park right now. I just love the playground there. It is nice to have a change from Laurel Hills Park, which is our normal hangout spot!


Bella and I stayed with a friend of mine this week for two nights. Bella went exploring and found this MASSIVE chewy bone. It was SO funny to me. I get her the same bone but it is not this big. This one is at least 5 times the size of hers. She couldn't even actually pick it up with her mouth... she had to drag it. It belongs to one of our friend's dogs who is HUGE. I think this bone will last her forever!!!
