New shoes and purse!

So the other day, Randy gave me some free time away from work, the house, the kids, him! Ha ha! I had just started, so I was feeling crummy and in need of a boost. Well, my wonderful husband mentioned that since I have been needing a new purse, why I don't take the afternoon off and go find one! Well, much to my surprise, I did! And boy do I love it! Normally, it takes me forever to find a purse I love, and since I carry the same one for about 6-8 months, I always want to make sure it fits my crazy lifestyle! I also found a great pair of shoes, my first pair of flats! And I love them, so comfy, yet cute too! I also stopped by Barnes and Noble, had a cup of coffee and a super yummy piece of pumpkin cheesecake! Deeeelish!

Check out his sweet new ride!

This is Randy's newest ride! A Husquavarna lawn mower. If you want more details, well don't ask me, I'm clueless. All I know is it's bright orange, with an mx sticker on the front, courtesy of Hudson! It doesn't turn quite as good as our last mower, but it's pretty quick! I think the blade radius is 48, for those of you who are wondering! Haha!

Hudson's spa...

So last week the kids got to stay up late, well until ten that is, due to Tropical Storm Hanna since school was cancelled on Friday. After a few minutes of complete silence, I went upstairs to check on them. And much to my delight and complete surprise, Hudson was giving Lily the full treatment! Hair, makeup, the works! She even had cotton balls on her eyes, in lieu of cucumbers of course. You'll have to excuse Hudson for his lack of clothing, the upstairs AC has been out for a week! Just thought y'all might like to see how sweet siblings can be when they want to! Just one of those moments that makes my heart smile!

Make-over!

I took Lily to get her hair done yesterday! We went to the same place I always get my hair done, so I knew my stylist would do an amazing job! See for yourself! Before
Getting her hair shampooed, laughing the whole time because she is ticklish on her head!

And I couldn't go to the salon without stopping at the Fresh Fruit Bouquet Company! They not only make bouquets out of fresh fruit, but they make great smoothies, shakes, and parfaits with fresh fruit and frozen yogurt! Lily got camarel apple and I got chocolate, bananas and strawberries! The best part is the frozen yogurt, so yummy and not that bad for you! She was so excited about her hair, that she was mortified when we opened the door to leave and the wind blew her hair and tousled it a bit. What a girl!!!!

Thanks Auntie Amanda!

When the boys are away, the girls will play!! One night when Randy and Hudson were at the track, Lily had her BFF (haha) Nia spend the night! We had such a great time, making homemade pizzas from a kit my sister had given us for Christmas. The girls decorated their own pizzas, Lily's is a puppy paw, and Nia's is a smiley face. Mine were just loaded with goodies, no cutesy decorations. We made quite a mess, but the girls loved rolling and smushing the dough, putting the toppings on, and watching them bake in the oven!

New books!

Randy and I had a date night on Saturday! It was so nice to spend some time together! We went to Red Lobster for dinner, then Lowe's, Belk and Barnes and Noble. Dinner was so-so. We found new appliances at Lowe's for our Stella house that is finally on the market. At Belk, I found two great pairs of jeans, and Randy found me a shirt to go with each pair. We then headed over to Barnes and Noble, where I found two great books that I am excited to start reading. I have such a great husband! Give the man a soda, a motocross magazine, and a comfy chair- he was good to go! I'll keep you updated on my reading! I'm trying to get back into the swing of things!

Pool time!

While Randy and Hudson were at the track, Lily, Amy (Randy's mom), and I decided to head to the pool! Lily had a great time, as always, but was not too thrilled with me taking pictures while she had on her big fly-eye goggles! I, however, think she looks adorable! After taking pics, I jumped in the water with Lily, holding hands, rocking our best cannon balls ever! We had a blast!
