Babies, Barbie wannabes, Best friends and Baseball are just a few things we had going on over here this week! Come take a look.
I was greeted with this work of art first thing Monday morning! Carly & her friend Reese were at my office on Friday and I was totally present but not 100% paying attention to this work of art but walking in to this on Monday morning was perfect.
On Monday I was super excited to visit my old trainer to deliver dinner and hold her precious, perfect new little bundle. Seriously…that little foot though!! Give me all the babies…..but just to hold and then I’m good.
Finally decided to drag my Barbie wannabe self back to the gym on Tuesday and found this. There is nothing worse for a bladder after 4 babies than 350 jump ropes!! #allthepee
One of my gym buddies posted this shirt and I’m like totally buying in to FIT{ish} because I just don’t think I’m ever going to drop the ish that’s hanging around posing as love handles.
Could be because I’m enjoying amazing meals like these crab cakes I had Tuesday night. My friend Amanda who was sitting across from me may be scarred from the way I inhaled these.
Lots of love for these beauties as we celebrated Johanna’s 40th! I’m still not sure about this but my sitter asked if my shirt was see through….it is Not…or is not suppose to be. Eek.
Introducing my new fur grandbaby, Pesto. Jordan has been following Princess Pesto’s story for months and finally decided she needed to be her mom. Jordan has always had a heart for animals since she was teeny tiny and I know she is going to be such a good momma. So far they seem pretty happy together!
Time for this boy to get his annual eye exam. I so wish he would wear contacts but he just has not been able to figure them out. Thankfully his regular glasses were still in super shape so we replaced the lenses and then invested in some prescription Oakleys for baseball.
Wednesday was so long!! I had meetings throughout the day and then left work to head to a strategic planning meeting for our local foodbank which lasted until almost 9:15.
At least there was plenty of chocolate but I did have to wonder about this one rejected jolly rancher!
Thursday was one of my very favorites as I ventured over to see my hair stylist, Karly. She has been doing my hair since just after Dillon was born and after 13+ years we have become such great friends. I love sharing life with her even if it’s only every 6 weeks. My hair has been grabbing orange so here we go making it all dark again. Hopefully I can make it not being blonde for awhile.
Dillon loves to text me just before lunch and ask for lunch. Rarely does this work out but Friday I was free enough (and hungry enough myself) to oblige. I love leaving him notes on his food just to make sure he EVERYONE knows his mom delivered!
And how do I eat healthy at Chick-Fil-A? I order the 8 piece grilled with a side salad. I always get the lite Italian dressing but rarely do I ever even need it.
Friday night Carly & I facetimed with Jordan so we could see little Pesto in “person”. Jordan wanted a few days alone to bond with her first before we meet her. Hopefully this is just for a dog as she surely understands I WILL be in the delivery room someday right?!!
Saturday morning our first stop was the school district art show. Carly was super excited to show me her Op Art Hallway piece.
Isn’t her little art teacher just the cutest? Art is one of Carly’s favorite classes for sure.
Such a pleasure watching this one grow into his own. I really do think baseball will end up being his favorite sport but for now I’m glad he is still playing football too.
After a full day at the ballpark I finally made it for a much overdue pedicure. I’ve been using OPI Mod About You for a really long time and decided I needed a little change.
Here’s a look at the finished product. A little bluer than I expected but I’m thinking it was a perfect change.
Came home to find these girls sopping wet washing the car. I’m sure they asked Keith and he was watching the tv and was like sure whatever. haha
My little brother pointed me in the direction of this little gem while we chatted Saturday. I always love finding little snippets like this online. Always cracks me up to see what they have to say. I settled in Saturday night to listen….and y’all it’s killing me to just be able to listen….to Riley come in to pitch. Every pitcher has their days and he has been having some great ones but Saturday night as well as he did pitch he gave up some hits that cost the team the win. The announcers actually said “well, seeing Ferrell be the most mortal he’s been all season”. Haha…that makes me laugh. And that’s baseball…..it is definitely a sport that can really test your heart.
Sunday was another day at the ballpark and Carly’s friend Holden tagged along again. The park Dillon has been playing at is just so darn nice and we had a nice walk through the nature trails.
And Dutch thought the pond was the bomb diggity! He just loves going to the ballpark.
If you are following along on SnapChat (which my oldest son says I’m “killing” btw) then you saw my little healthy ballpark lunch. Super excited to be having again today! If you are a snapchatter you can find me at queeninbetween1.
The boys had a little devotional and prayer time this afternoon after a long break between games. I really do love being part of a team that grows boys into men not just ballplayers.
I ended my Sunday being served a perfectly cheesy grilled cheese sandwich by the hubs. I seriously could have eaten two of these. But did I?? 
Lastly, here are the looks from my
Instagram that were April favorites based on likes! I really do just love getting dressed every day!
The coming week is Carly’s dance recital and I figure we will celebrate after with some Mexican since it’s on Cinco de Mayo! We will see how everyone is feeling at the end of the night. Mama may need a drink.
And don’t forget to come join the linkup party hosted by my friend Katy and myself! First linkup is Tuesday, May 3rd so join us as we post about our best (or worst) Mother’s Day gifts!

Oooh that little foot! And yeah fitish is totally a thing in my mind!
Love that t shirt! And I already warned my kids when they have babies I'll be a baby hog for sure. Lol. Have a great week !!!
OK, first, your shirt didn't look see through in person but in this pic, it sure does! How did I not notice?! Sorry! LOVED seeing the pic of Pesto and Jordan and hope they are bonding! Can't wait to hear more! Dillon looks freakin' huge in his baseball pic and I'm dying over "filthy Ferrell"! Thanks so much for taking Holden this weekend!!! She had SO much fun! Looking forward to the dance recital – actually, I'm looking forward to Mexican food AFTER the recital but #sshhh! 🙂 Oh, and one more thing – LOVE your lead pic!!!
Wow what a busy and fun week!! Love the name pesto!! And now you've got me hungry for a grill cheese!! LOL
Well shit…I still do NOT see the see through. haha I think Pesto & Jordan are going to be perfect for each other. 🙂 We loved having Holden…thankfully I do not scar her with my preaching! Can't wait for Thursday.
I love that Fit(ish) Shirt!!! I need to get that because I workout so that I can eat whatever!! I also need to find that nail polish asap! I love that blue 🙂 Have a great day!
I keep seeing that fitish shirt and crack up laughing every time I do. This is my month. I am running my but off I have some serious distances summer is coming and I am finally going to do or die to get my nutrition in line. I feel ready to kick but right now but at 2:00 I'll likely just be ready for a donut.
Love the art, love the lunch note and love the toes too.
Have an awesome week sweet mama.
Ha! "Filthy Ferrell" totally cracked me up! And Jordan's "bonding" was hilarious! Yes! I certainly hopes to include you in the delivery room!
So much to LOVE in this post!! You have the BEST weeks and are so good at documenting it!! Welcome to the Fam Pesto, so cute fur Gram!! Love the snippet about Riley! And major girl crush swoon over your darling outfits and the fact that you take great selfies!! Happy first week of May beauty!!
So much to talk about! Love all the baseball pictures, your kids are just the cutest…and that healthy ballpark snack, Yum! As I chow down on some cucumbers while reading this…need to do this soon! Hope you have a great weekend and Carly has a successful dance recital.
I can't even pick a favorite from this post so I'm just going to love it all. You are a busy lady though!!
Looks like a wonderful week, and love how you take so many pics of the everyday moments. Jordan looks so happy with Pesto in her arms. I loved having a pet back when I was single…perfect company. Grace has to wear her glasses all the time now, and she doesn't want to try contacts. Wish she would, but don't want to push the issue!
that baby foot!!! so cute
and the puppy!!!! Yay for new fur grandbabies!!!
Seriously, I think you have the most busy life but kudos for you for keeping up and always with that pretty smile on your face! So much to be grateful for 🙂 thanks for linking up today
I love, love that polish color! So funny that your son says you're killing snapchat. I even forget to snap sometimes!! You have some healthy and yummy looking food on here too. What a great week!
That girl better know I will be THAT mom!
I have been having trouble with bursitis in my hip again and exercise makes it feel better but it is also somewhat painful getting started. I so miss running but that seems to be the biggest culprit.
Oh Jessica….that totally use to be how it worked for me but since my 40's not so much and it's so sad. 🙁 Hope you are having a super week.
Girl….I have like one grilled cheese a year and I can't stop thinking about it!!
I'm totally fitish…is there any other way once we are moms???
The selfie struggle is real right now Andrea….I lost one selfie stick and the other broke!!! Hope you are having a super week.
She is so excited about dance Sarah…now….hopefully I remember to go get the right tights today!!!
Busy but blessed…..but I would take a weekend of nothing soon!!
I definitely think this is a great step for Jordan. She recently had a relationship fall apart and I think she was really thinking this could be "the one". I'm praying for her future husband and for her to work on becoming the woman he's looking for in the mean time!!!
Thanks for hosting Shaunacey! Busy and blessed for sure.
It's crazy that snap is the only communication I now have with him!!!
I have the same color on my toes 🙂
Great minds think alike!
