Anniversary Weekend

It's been a while since the last time I did a blog post. 

I have been one busy Mama. 

July was a very busy and very fun month for my family.

Our two year wedding anniversary was on July the 17th. Josh and I spent that weekend celebrating two years of wedded bliss. On Friday I came home to this beautiful "Happy Everything Platter". 

I have wanted one of these for so long. 

Husband found Cotton Colors, picked out the style and attachment all by himself! 

He even gave me the plate stand too! 

I have one amazing husband!

Husband had been eyeing this vintage style Orvis watch from Cape Harbor.

He was super excited when I gave it to him.

After Josh opened his gift the Tucker family stopped in for a visit and we got to meet Beau Matthew Tucker!

This little guy is just too precious for words. 

I just love our neighbors!

Later on Friday evening I attended a two hour painting class 

with some of my friends at Painting With A Twist. 

Our instructor was kind enough to give us a good head start and trace our paintings for us.

Pure concentration as I attempted step number 2.

Step 2: Flower petals

Step 3: Outline

This is what the instructors painting looked like.

Our Class

The laundry room was the perfect place to display my artwork.

On Saturday we attended Brantley Deese's first birthday party!

Colton had a blast in the pool.

He loved playing with the pool rings.

Can't believe he can stand up and walk around. 

May I please get a pause button!!!

 Having so much fun!

Brantley and Colton had so much fun at the party.

Happy Birthday Brantley Houston Deese!

After the birthday party we headed home to put Colton down for his afternoon nap and to get ready to go out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary. GaGa, PaPa and Uncle Matt were so sweet to come over and babysit the little buddy.

We enjoyed dinner at our favorite yearly tradition Georgio's!

Can you guess which drink is mine?

On Sunday we headed to Grammy's pool to get a little swimming in.

Colton just loves the pool......and

Grammy's lawn chairs!

Checking out what Daddy is doing.

Little buddy also can say "CUP" now.

This is his second favorite word. His first favorite is Da Da!

 Swimming lessons with Daddy

I love my Dad!

We had such a fun filled anniversary weekend and I was sad to see it end!

Can't wait for our 3rd!

Next Up..........40 Years!!!
