Why is it that EVERY weekend flies by....

 I love our weekends! even though every weekend seems full to the top I still love every moment.  This weekend started off with a trip to Hobby Lobby Menchie's with Rachel

 (is there a better friday night)

Baylee had a basketball tournament 

We went to Aaron's family cabin to celebrate Mr. Craig's Birthday ;-)

We love our friends! 

 

Baylee started driving...well I think the picture says it all ;-)

The best way to end the weekend......MEXICAN...Yum Yum!

FRIDAY!!!!! says it best....

do you ever have a week (or month in my case) that feels like it will never get better....now dont get me wrong i know i have more blessing than stars in the sky but when something bothers me it seems huge. so im so happy it's Friday and from now til sunday im spending my days with my loves!!!  happy friday ya'll!

its the little things that are the BIG things.....

What makes your heart smile?  Is it money, thoughts of your friends and family, hug from a stranger, kiss from your love, flowers from a friend, presents, surprises or just a simple word or two.  You never know what day someone has had and how just a simple "thank you" or "you are pretty" can do.  Baylee is probably the MOST PERSONABLE person I have EVER met in my life.  She hugs EVERYONE from waitresses, flight attendants, teachers and complete strangers.  And to her it is just natural.  She loves giving compliments and i love it.  Every time she sees someone in military uniform she goes out of her way to say a simple "thank you"....so last week she, mattison and I had stopped to get gas at a gas station in Knoxville and there was a woman on the other side of the pumps in military uniform. Baylee runs over to her and gives her a BIG BAYLEE HUG (trust me these things aren't a little pat...she gives the real deal...as she says) and a simple thank you with the biggest smile ever.  I looked over at the lady as Baylee is on her way back to the car and the lady is smiling from ear to ear just like Baylee. NOW.... THIS MADE MY HEART SMILE!!!! ;-) so now that is my thought for today....go make your heart smile!

1st Place!

Saturday we had to be in Fountain City at 8:15.  So we left the house around 7:30.  Matt and Mattison stayed home because Matt had somewhere to be at 4:00.  I missed Miss Mattison all day and regretted not taking her.....UNTIL...about 9:00PM and I realized we still had a few hours.  So we made a quick trip to Starbucks (one of the favorites) and we got home at 1:10AM!!! BUT Krush got 1st place!  Way to go girlies!!!

 Sometimes you just got to find a way ;-)

 This may have helped us!

AHHHH…nothing like a Friday night high school football game……

Matt and I have always gone to the 1^st one or two Kingston football games just to refresh a lil’!  Now that Baylee is getting older and quite a bit more interested we are going a lot more.  And not to mention my gorgeous talented niece is a flag gal! So this past Friday was week 0 (Kingston vs Oliver Springs)….which is a little hard for me to get use to. Growing up our first game was ALWAYS harriman.  I love going to the harriman/Kingston game! But nevertheless it was a great night!

Back at the end of July...Matt and I flew to Florida to attend a party at my Aunt's house! Of course we had a flight delay and ended up having to fly to Nashville first and then orlando ;-(  We have not had airplane luck lately...Of course I blame it on Mr. Melton especially since the last 4 of his flights have had troubles...Anywho we made the best of our delay ;-)  We had a blast at the party!  It was by far the quickest trip to Florida I have had yet and I've had some pretty quick weekend trips....We were there not even 18 hours ;-) Every bit of it was worth it!  My Aunt Shelly is the BEST and I was so happy to be with her to celebrate ;-) Love yall! I didn't have my camera so these aren't the best but enjoy!

My momma was there ;-)

airport pictures! We got up WAY early for no reason ;-(

My Mimi and Pop!! Love these two people!

Wish I could see them more ;-(

Not sure why my eyes look evil
