Boys Weekend

Christian and Jax had a fun filled weekend with their Daddy! They had big plans to do things outside and the rain ruined that, but they didn't let that stop their fun. Jax and Christian had fun playing in the basement and Christian and Daddy camped out on the floor Saturday night in the basement. Christian was so excited and thought that was so cool. Now he is going to want to do that all the time! I'm glad that the boys had a nice fun weekend bonding and playing together!

Semi-Annual Shopping Trip

Saturday night and Sunday we hit the outlet mall long and hard. We had so much fun and got lots of great deals! I forgot to take a picture of all of our stuff. We were divided up in separate cars since there were more people with us and I forgot to tally all of our totals. I will say no one went to out of control on spending, so that was good. I didn't buy a ton of clothes since I am pregnant and all, but I did buy 2 coats and I splurged a little at the Micheal Kors store. I finally got a new wristlet, a bag for my stuff I take to work and a side satchel purse. It all coordinates with each other and I love it! I have been so sick of my Coach wristlet and of Coach for a while now and I just haven't found anything I liked. I LOVE these three purchases! We went out for Sushi Saturday night and we went to P.F, Chang's on Sunday night. It was so nice having a weekend away with my sisters and brother! I can't wait for our spring shopping trip!

Wedding Dress Shopping

On Saturday we left early in the morning for our semi-annual shopping trip. We changed things up a bit this year and decided to go wedding dress shopping with Martha in Cincinnati before hitting the outlet mall. Mom, Dad, John, Mary, Alisann, and The babe were all there. It was so much fun talking and planning Martha's wedding in the car on the way up and we loved watching her try on lots of fun dresses. The first shop that we went to is where I got my dress at. It brought back so many fun memories going there again. Then we went down the street to another little shop and had no luck at that one. Martha found and dress that she really liked at the first place but she still wasn't 100% that it was 'The One'. We went across the street to Bridal and Formal and one of the first dresses she tried on we all loved! It was breathtaking and exactly what I had pictured in my mind for Martha to wear on her wedding day. She tried on several more and some just for fun, but she ended up going with the dress that we all loved. I of course did not post a picture of that one. She is keeping it a secret from pretty much everyone except for the ones that were at the store when she tried it on. Her dress won't be in for close to 8 months! I can't wait to start practicing on her hair for the big day! We are all so excited!

St. Louis For The Day

Sunday after Jason picked the boys up from Mom and Dad's we up and decided to go to St. Louis for the day. We LOVE St. Louis and Jason and I have gone there every year for our anniversary except for our first anniversary, because we bought a boat that year. We didn't want to break tradition so we packed up the boys and spent the day shopping and hanging out. We didn't do anything too special, but it was nice to just have a nice day trip together as a family!

Brooke & Blair's Wedding

Saturday one of Jason's best friends from high school got and married. Jason was in the wedding. It was also our 6th wedding anniversary. Everything turned out really nice for their wedding. Brooke looked beautiful! Christian was super excited for us to go to the wedding because he got to spend the entire day at his Grandma and Grandpa Shetler's house. He also weaseled his way into spending the whole night there also. I don't like leaving the boys overnight if we can help it. Jason and I love our Sunday mornings waking up with the boys together. All week long CHristian kept talking about how he wanted to stay all day and all night at Grandma and Grandpa Shetler's house. Mom and Dad didn't care so we decided to go ahead and let him stay the night. I think it would have been a disaster if we would have tried to pick him up and take him home. When I called to tell him goodnight he didn't even want to get on the phone and talk to me because he was too busy playing. The next morning Jason went to pick him up and when Jason walked in CHristian looked at him and said, 'No! I don't wan to go home!' I really think that he would move in there and never want to come home again! I have to say I missed my boys being gone from them all day and night, but It was nice to have a whole day and night for just Jason and I!
