glimpse of life from my phone

Just a random collection of snapshots from my phone.  Just our life...every day life.

zoo day

We had the most beautiful weekend.  Saturday was warm, sunny, and just gorgeous.  We headed to Little Rock to go to the zoo.  We spent a couple hours walking around and enjoying the sun.

Afterwards we went to Chuys to try it for dinner.  It was really good and we had a great time with YaYa and Peepaw.

Sunday we headed back down to Little Rock for Cody's birthday party and to do a little shopping.  It looks like winter is coming back again this week so we sure did enjoy that little glimpse of spring we had this past weekend!

Valentine's, a birthday party, and the stomach flu...oh my.

Friday was Valentine's Day...Travis got to go to Essie's party that morning.  This year she chose to make a "vanity" box to hold her cards.  She gave out Olaf valentines made of marshmallows, pretzels, candy corn, and chocolate chips.  They decorated cookies, sang a song, and exchanged cards.  She had a blast.

 Saturday morning, we went to Lexie's birthday party at Build a Bear.  It was such a fun, cute birthday party!

Afterwards, we drove down to Batesville to spend the night with Nana and Papa.  Essie loved being there and giving us a "fashion show".  She's obsessed with their puppy Opie and playing games with Nana.

Unfortunately I woke up super early Sunday morning sick as a dog.  I spent 5 hours vomiting and we had to come home early.  I was sick enough to have to stop on the way home even.  I pretty much slept all day sunday and ran fever off/on all night.  I had to take off work today to try to recover.  I am feeling better than yesterday but still am a ways away from 100%.  Every muscle in my back/ribs hurts from the illness now.  Travis and Essie were both off for President's Day today so I had lots of good care.  It was such a beautiful day that they went outside and practiced tee-ball a little bit.
