Easter Weekend

On Good Friday, David and I hopped in the car with Amanda and Ben to head to Hawkinsville for Easter weekend. Our time at home is always filled with family dinners and spending time with our families. This weekend was no different! Here's a few pics of our time down south!
These kitties are brothers and live at my parents house. They pretty much rule the roost and are the funniest little guys...definitely have their own personalities! This is one of the Princes that live at my parent's house - Oliver

And my Prince - Paisley

On Friday night, David's parents hosted an {early} birthday dinner for him at their house. Ben was able to swim and we hung out with the Griffins. Afterward, David, Brince and I headed to the Coody Cabin for a party Abbye was hosting down there. No pics on here from that, but it was fun. Trust me. :)

Presents for the birthday boy!

The cutest little fish on the block!

Look at those muscles!


We practiced his cannonballs over.


And over. He's so good at them now!



After dinner, Ben shared his Easter treats with everyone. I got a plastic bracelet and a Monkey Joe's tattoo.



Happy 29th birthday to my dear hubbs!


Ben is a fantastic present-opener-assistant!

On Saturday night, we had a family dinner at my parent's house and were able to enjoy the gorgeous evening by eating under the pool house.


My favorite grill masters!

On Sunday after church, we were able to snap a few pics on the front porch.


The Griffins joined the Coody/Hardin crew for lunch, and here's little Ben's place to eat.

And the adult table...it was so nice to all be together!

On Sunday night, David and I took Ben with us to Mosaic for a big birthday dinner for Lauren and Wesley. He was such a good boy and everyone was so happy to see him!

I had to include this pic too via Amanda. On Saturday, Ben dressed as a pirate for the church Easter egg hunt. He was adorable and didn't want to take the costume off!

730 days

Two years ago today, I married my favorite person on a beautiful April afternoon! The day was perfect, and since then we've travelled a ton, spent time with our lovely family and with our friends, and said goodbye to cherished grandparents. Even though David and I have been together for seven years, its been an amazing, adventurous, fulfilling two years as Mr. and Mrs., and we are so excited for what the future holds for us!

Sunshine Days!

Last Saturday was the wedding of my and David's good friends Kyle Arnold and Mallory Ivie. Kyle is Chris' younger brother, and we all hang out when David and I come home. Brince was a groomsman in the wedding so of course, the whole fam piled up and attended. The wedding ceremony was at the beautiful Ingleside Baptist church in Macon and the reception was downtown at The Blacksmith's Shop. It was all so pretty, and Amy was the prettiest Matron of Honor and Mallory was a gorgeous bride. I don't have many pictures of her, but there are some on Facebook! :)

Without knowing, my dad matched the groomsmen...green tie and all!

Chris did great in the dance-off, as always!

We had a primo perch where me, mom, dad, David, and Abs watched the competitors

Brince caught the garter!!!! Uh oh....we know what that means!
 After the wedding we all headed downtown Macon to Hummingbird where we ran into an old classmate - Josh Rackley. He was tickled to see me, Amy, Molly, Becca, Brince, Clayton, Griffin...basically all of the people he graduated with! ha!
It was kinda a late night, and I was slow-moving on Sunday. After getting some caffeine in me, I headed to WaterColor to meet Anna and Christen for a few days in the sun. Christen hadn't been to the beach in a really long time and asked me to meet her a few weeks ago. We had the nicest time laying on the beach, by the pool and watching movies - very relaxing. Here are a few pics from our trip:
We faked Christen's birthday and got a chocolate ganache piece of cake...yum!!!

Gorgeous full moon over the water!

We had to stop and take a picture by the Carpe Diem house!
