weekending

This past weekend we went to my parent's house which is pretty common but my mom and I decided to go to the other side of the lake and walk so I took my camera and snapped a few photos. 

Seriously....so handsome.

Sunday on our way home we stopped by Fletcher's aunt's house to go for a swim. It was waaay too cold for me to get in the water but Fletcher didn't seem to mind at all.

 Fletcher's aunt has some adorable kittens right now. This little guy was being a jungle cat and he was just too adorable for me to not take a photo. 

blackberry picking

My parents have a plethora of blackberry bushes all up and down their dirt road so during the summer we go at least once or twice each time we are over there and pick blackberries. It's pretty fun and Fletcher loves blackberries so he's all about it. I usually just tag along and take photos. The weather was nice this weekend and their road is very shaded so it's a pretty enjoyable little walk once you get up the first hill that's kind of a doozy.

Just as I took this last photo my camera died. Of course, I forgot the charger and couldn't take any more pictures the rest of the weekend. We had planned on doing some sparkler writing photos with our friends but I guess that will just have to happen another time.

We spent the weekend at my parent's house. The weather was amazing! I can feel fall starting. The leaves are slowly starting to change and fall and the mornings and evenings are a little chilly. It's my favorite time of year.

Don't forget...

As I'm sure you all already know Google Reader will no longer work tomorrow. Sad day, I know. I loved Google Reader. I haven't gotten quite used to Bloglovin' yet but I'm sure I will. So, don't forget to follow me over on Bloglovin'. There's a little button on the side bar that will take you right to me!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and maybe a sweet treat or two! ;)

life lately

The past few weeks have been pretty good. Kinda of crazy weather wise though. We've had to run to friend's and family's houses to hide from tornados a couple of times but it's not so bad. It's scary but a nice little excuse to visit with loved ones.

Fletcher and I broke out the Xbox the other day and played some Left 4 Dead together. Shooting zombies can be romantic right? ;)

This past weekend we kicked things off by hanging out with our besties Sam & Rob. We had a nice little dinner, went to the mall and then hit up Barnes & Noble for some Starbucks. 

Fletcher totally photobombed us.

We spent the night at their house and the next day we went and got our first snow cones of summer! They were delicious. I got Summer Lovin' (peach, cranberry and lemon).

Then we headed to my parent's house for the rest of the weekend and ate a lot of food. We also went to see Fast & Furious 6 which we were both super excited about and it did not disappoint! Now I just need a sweet muscle car! 

Monday we had some delicious watermelon and then Fletcher and I went to Rogers, Ar. to do a little shopping and just hang out. We love going to Rogers. Then we just came home and are slowly getting back into our routine. Fletcher's still working tons of overtime so it's back to work for him and I've been doing some reorganizing/cleaning. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! 

Mother's Day weekend

Mother's Day weekend was wonderful. We got to spend some great quality time with our Momma's and we got to go see The Great Gatsby!

Saturday I spend the day with my parents. I took my Mom out for lunch because it was her birthday. We went to one of our favorite steak houses in Arkansas then we did a little grocery shopping so we could make her birthday cake. This year she requested this cake but with rum. So, we experimented and added a little rum to the batter and made a rum glaze to go under the icing. It was absolutely delicious! I do prefer the original recipe but it wasn't my day. My Mom absolutely loved it. 

On Sunday we had lunch with Fletcher's Mom, his aunt and his Grandpa. Then we took his Mom to see The Great Gatsby. We have been dying to see it and it was amazing! I absolutely adored it. I would love to go see it again and I will most definitely be buying it when it comes out on Blu-Ray. I had to read The Great Gatsby in high school and I loved it. It's my favorite book. I loved the way they incorporated new music into the movie. Gah! I cannot say enough about the film! Loved it! Everyone needs to go see it!

I hope your Mother's Day was wonderful too! 

this weekend

This weekend has been pretty great. We were puppy sitting for my parents while they visited my brother. We actually did what we said we were going to do and just had a super chill weekend. Friday we had some friends over and watched Wreck It Ralph and played some games. Saturday we had lunch with a friend and then Fletcher and I just hung out and watched tv all day (we also got in some serious house cleaning but nothing too major or difficult). Then today we had to run to Lowe's then just came home and sat around some more. Very much needed relaxation going on. This photo is from last weekend when we went to my parent's house. My Mom and I walked to the lake. We are hopefully going on a little road trip with my parents in May and I'm pretty excited to go camping and take lots of pretty pictures of places I've never been.

How was your weekend?

my weekend in photos

We started the weekend Thursday night with a bike ride to get a snow cone. We saw some cute bunnies on our bike ride. 

Friday we had lunch with our friend Kaylee and her little sister then that evening we went to our other friend's house to visit. Otter got to go on that little adventure.

Saturday we headed to the mall with Josh & Kaylee and of course had to go to the candy store. They brought their puppy over for a little play date. I also got a new perfume to add to my Pink collection. It smells amazing. 

Sunday we headed over to Fletcher's Aunt and Uncle's house for a little swim day. I made blackberry cobbler and it was literally gone within 15 minutes. 

I'm starting off the week with a super yummy smoothie (peach, strawberry and banana). 

How was your weekend?

weekend love

This past weekend we went camping with my parents. Our camping got cut short and we had to go deliver some stuff my Dad sold on Craigslist but we got to get some Braum's ice cream so it was worth it. Funny story about our Braum's stop, my Mom and I got the same kind of ice cream cone and the guy who made them made her first. Then, he made mine and I swear it had twice as much ice cream as hers! It was intense but I ate it haha! I've never been one to complain about extra ice cream. ;)

a little weekend update

Here are a few of my favorite Instagrams from this weekend. From the top left we have our Sunday Starbucks date, next up we have the most amazing lunch ever, Panera mac & cheese with a baguette and sweet tea, then the cutest camera I found at a yard sale for a dollar(!) and last but not least (it actually came first since it was taken on Friday) my Dad's 1955 chevy. I love that car, it's so awesome and it was hist first car! He's kept it all these years. So cool. 

This weekend we had a yard sale to help get rid of some stuff we just don't have room for or don't need anymore. We did pretty good. We sold probably 75% of what we had out and the rest we donated to Goodwill and Salvation Army. I love the feeling after a yard sale or a donation trip. I love donating but I also just love getting rid of stuff that's just cluttering up my tiny house. I think I did pretty good this weekend too because I only bought 2 things from another yard sale. Haha! I figured I'd go out to check them out and come home with more stuff. Oh, I should probably mention that our town had a city wide yard sale event this weekend so there were quite a few families who had their own and a few business here did as well. It was pretty fun and we met a lot of people who live here. We only knew a handful of people before that. I really love our small town (it's really small) and I like being just close enough to a big city that we can have random little dates whenever we want to but we have the safety and quietness of a small town to come home to. Don't get me wrong I love big cities but maybe it's just the one we live close to that doesn't seem to be safe no matter where you are. There's so much crime there it's crazy! Maybe I'm just a little extra paranoid but it's scary. The worst thing that's happened since we moved here is a train derailed. No one was hurt and it didn't really do any damage (except to the train). I'm glad we ended up where we are for now. Who knows maybe someday we will move to a whole new state or maybe just buy some land outside of our tiny town. We will see.

Devil's Den State Park

Here are some Instagrams from this weekend. We went to Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas with my parents. We camped in their Winnebago and went to a lot of Flea Markets. It was a lot of fun and although I forgot my Canon I think I captured some of our memories really well with my phone. So glad that I have a phone that takes good pictures. I always forget my camera when it's most important!
