amanda + barrett

this saturday we went to our good family friend amanda's wedding reception. my mom is actually the one who set them up. she did a peacock theme and it was so cute. def wish i stole that idea!

love for the hub

having one of those days where i love this boy soooo much!! can't get enough of him.

texas

this summer has been super busy for us. we have pretty much lived out of a suitcase the past month. we went to cancun, babysat for a week, went to texas for a week, and now we are babysitting again. we love it though. this past week we went to texas for nathans brother nick's graduation from high school. the whole family was able to be there which doesn't happen very often. we ate way too much food and played a lot of settlers.

cancun

we were able to go to cancun this year with my parents. when me and nathan went on our honeymoon we were so exhausted from all the wedding planning we didn't do anything fun. so this time we made sure to actually do something. we went swimming with the dolphins, we visited the mayan ruins, snorkled, and got tons of massages. the resorts down there are really hurting because everyone is too scared to go to mexico with what the media is saying. so to get people down there we each got $1500 dollars to put towards anything we wanted to do. so everything was free. the customer service was wonderful and we had a blast. 

storm party

so im sure everyone knows about the horrible storms that have been hitting. well, we were supposed to get really bad ones here last night so we went to my brothers house so we would have a basement to go to. well, nothing happened (like always). prayers go out to the ones that have been effected with these horrible storms.

the boys outside filming it

we got bored so started taking pictures of funny faces..

 don't you love nathans rain coat? haha

my husband is reading?

nathan is not a reader! however, i have started reading the hunger games series and somehow i convinced nathan to read them with me. lets just say he is more obsessed than i am. he won't stop reading or talking about it. for example, i was laying down on the couch watching tv and he comes in, lays next to me, turns my show on pause and says, "can we please talk about the books." what a crack up.

p.s. blog post on cancun to come.
