September in a nutshell

We have been busy bees around this hive. 

September marked Zoie's 3 months of life!


My return to work from maternity leave  :(.  Leaving my precious little mini was definitely hard but her being with big brudder and having her in a great home with one of my close friends taking care of her helped a lot. Also going back during the busiest month of the year kept me extremely occupied.


The start of football season!  Well this split house has been a battlefield all month. Brandon has been trying to brainwash Zeke into loving the Patriots, but I've been working Zeke on the Broncos all year!!!! It started out with who ever he was around that's whose team he loved. 


The battle has come to the point that Brandon bought him a Patriots hat and Zeke was upset it wasn't a Broncos one......YES!!!!!!!! SUCCESS!!!!! 

Brandon even dressed the kids all up in their Patriots gear for the first week while I was at the gym for an hour......I was not too happy about it and changed their outfits after the Patriots game was over. 


A sisterly visit/brotherly work!
My sister and brother in law are adding on to their house so all the guys went up there to help them out while all us girls and kids met up at my parents house for a nice pool day.  The kids had so much fun together and we enjoyed our cocktails and each other's company! 


Our annual camping weekend!


We always plan a camping weekend at the local campground. Over the past couple years the consistency of what weekend it falls on has been horrible. We used to do it in July, then it was for my birthday celebration, this year it was a fabulous weekend in September. We could not have asked for better weather nor a better time. It was great to have all the family and kids together, BBQ, wakeboard, drink, fish, sunbathe, and hang out! 



Baby showers and fun

Zoie and I partook in my good friends baby shower that was super fun and uniquely themed as baseball with everyone getting to dress in their favorite baseball gear.  We can't wait to meet baby Kash! 


I cannot believe tomorrow is October.......I need to get a move on getting the fall decorations out and my favorite month to craft.

Cruisin'

One of my best friends is getting married so in getting married style we had to have the bachelorette party. Her and her fiancé met on a cruise ship while both working, so going on a cruise was very fitting!  We took a short little 3 day (booze) cruise.  It was a lot of fun, my first time on ship/cruise, and I'm glad it's over.....wedding time!  Brandon had the kids all weekend and did an amazing daddy daycare job, even with activities and sports and all! He's super dad in my eyes! 

Weekend project

I have had this vintage window frame for quite some time now.   I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it but have received lots of opinions and feedback on how to mount the picture. I had heard mount the picture on something sturdy before stapling it to the window, cut the picture into 6 boxes and have it touch the glass since there's a gap in the back, or my original and easy idea of just stapling the picture to the back of the window.  That is exactly what I did and it was the easiest thing ever. I cannot believe I waited so long to get it on and up!  I am completely obsessed with it and finally have a wedding picture up in our house. On to the next project......

Tour de Zeke's Room

We have been working on Zeke's room for what seems like forever. We painted and set up his big boy bed tons of blog posts ago.  His room is now presentable. I say presentable because we still have some things we would like to do, add, and buy!   We decided on a vintage vehicle theme. It went from vintage cars to vintage vehicles because, of course, the themes I choose are not so popular.  I found a vintage car print I liked on etsy but everyone said the fabric was too hard to make as sheets or the cut they had wasn't long enough for a full size bed. After all that I thought going with solid colors would be a great idea. I ordered a duvet cover, pillow shams, a bed skirt, and a blanket from Restoration Hardware. I got them home, put them on the bed with some navy blue sheets and thought "eh"!!! I kept it up for awhile but hated it!!! It was so boring, the down comforter wouldn't stay in place in the duvet cover, and it was so heavy and hard Zeke didn't want to ...
