Festive-ness

July 5, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Tuesday already?!? Does everyone feel extra spry after a 3 day weekend? I know I loved having hubby home for the extra day. Makes a ton of difference if you ask me! In case you missed some weekend posts because you were BBQing or shooting out people’s eyes with fireworks, you can catch up below:

Friday Favorites: Smoothies

Runner’s World Skirted

July Goals

Also, as promised, here are some fun and festive pictures from yesterday. First, the shoes I pull out every year! I wore these babies proudly to church yesterday morning.

holy cuteness! I have had these bad boys since high school, but I love ‘em.

Then after church we went to a BBQ in our neighborhood. Check out the festiveness:

Running Skirt’s strappy tank in Midnight and red dot sweaty band. Great for a par-tay!

Check out my super cute American flag pin!

Don’t I just scream soccer mom? It’s going to be fun, guys, one day when I do have little mini-me’s!

Also, can I brag about the awesomness that is my husband? Saturday after we went out to eat we stopped at the sporting goods store and bought a tent for the beach, and then he said he wanted to go “look around” Best Buy. Folks, I go through this A LOT. The boy is obsessed with video games. Anyway, he was sneakily trying to let me pick out my nook color and a case for my birthday. Recently when I found out you can check e mail, websites, and blogs on the nook color, I really wanted one b/c lugging my laptop around when I fly gets really annoying and heavy. Well, we started looking, then I spotted the iPad 2 which is super cool. Then a guy started helping us and explained there is a tablet that is way cooler than the iPad2 and cheaper, and he wanted us to look at it.

Why is the acer iconia so cool? Well, it has flash player, and, AND a full size USB hook up and HDMI hook up. SWEET! I was playing with it while Bobby was drilling the kid on the specs, and the kid said “let me know if I can help any more or grab one for you” and Bobby said “ya, get on for me” WHAT?!? OMG! So, happy birthday to me! I now have a tablet! It’s really cool and I love it so far! My hubby is awesome.

say hello to my little friend.

So, basically, he wanted to get me my nook early so I could be downloading books to take to the beach next week, and we ended up walking out with my Iconia instead. I am a happy girl, and a lucky one, too. he spoils me.

I have more festiveness to share with you tomorrow, we had some friends over for a BBQ of our own last night! Stay tuned! Oh, I also have a recipe to share! Maybe tomorrow? MAYBE!

——————————————–

Yesterday at the gym I did legs, tri’s, and chest, as well as 20 minutes on the bike.

QOTD: What is the best birthday gift you have ever gotten? Getting a new 4runner last year was pretty sweet if I do say so myself.

    I know exactly what you mean about Best Buy – my hubby is the same way, except he could spend hours in the Blu-Ray section! Enjoy your tablet – I love my iPad! So easy to carry around!

    Yay for a fun bday gifts!

    On one of Jeff and I’s first dates, we stopped off at Best Buy. I waited in the car because he said he’d be gone for 5 minutes. Nope, he was gone 44 minutes. I still bring it up to this day! Men!

    “shooting out people’s eyes with fireworks”—-this made me spit my coffee when i laughed!!!

    loved your 4th of july outfit!! it doesnt look soccermom to me!

    my husband is as sweet as yours. sometimes my friends/acquaintances dont understand. their husbands are not ever as nice and sweet. i can’t imagine not having a husband who’s my best friend and a good person to everyone he meets. now if i can talk him into a tablet……i have to tell him he’s competing with bobby today! and i’ll “let” him go to best buy if there is something in it for me lol!

    love your blog!

    My mom bought Chris a shirt that has the Best Buy yellow tag across the front but it says “Broke Guy” instead! Yeah…he spends a lot of time there.

    You are adorable in all of your red/white/blue! That is a really cute tank top.

Now that Emma Kate’s in 5th grade, she’s ready Now that Emma Kate’s in 5th grade, she’s ready for a little more independence… and I’m ready for the peace of mind that comes with her COSMO JrTrack smartwatch. 💛 ad

With real calling, messaging, GPS tracking, and only approved contacts, it’s the 1990s simple we miss—with the 2025 safety our kids need.

The JrTrack is so much more than a smartwatch—it’s about inspiring kid-safe adventures in the real world and giving families the tools for a safer, smarter start. From SOS mode and SafeZones to School Mode for distraction-free learning, she gets freedom, I get reassurance, and we both stay connected every step of the way.

Here’s to letting her explore while knowing she’s protected. 🥹💖
