What I'm Reading

I'm linking up to Monday Mommy Blog Hop today. Link up here. 

There's a few books I've been trying to read the past month or so. I've actually already renewed a couple of these from the library before I even read a whole chapter. I love to read but it's hard to find the time.. especially since it's easier to sit down and watch a movie or TV show while playing on my phone ha! I haven't gotten on board with online reading yet. I'm still holding tightly to real books and don't see myself switching over any time soon. 

 Sweet Salt Air, by Barbara Delinsky 

This one is a library book. I've read Barbara Delinsky several times and love her books! I imagine this one will be a great read too!  

The Other Mother, by Carol Goodman 

 I think I found this one on the "new books" shelf at the front of the library. I've never heard of this author but it looks interesting and I hope to actually read it before it's due again. 

Daddy, by Danielle Steel 

I found an old, paperback copy of this one at a garage sale a few weeks ago. I'm not quite half way through. I find Danielle Steel books to be very easy reads and enjoy most of her books. 

What are you reading right now?

Weekend Fun

The kids and I ran several errands on Friday while J worked from home. Sol tried on sunglasses at the Dollar Tree. 

Saturday evening we had dinner with J's co-workers and friends. Indie surprised me completely by getting in the pool and (cool) hot tub without me! This is huge for her! The kids had a great time swimming with friends and I enjoyed NOT being in the pool ha! 

The kids after church today. This was the best shot I could get ha! Sol and Indie's outfits are off the $3 clearance rack at Wal-Mart. It's hard to tell here but the shorts have little elephants on them... I adore anything with elephants so had to grab these!

This evening we had small group at our place for the first time. It was also our first time to have guests at our new house so that was fun!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

July 4th!

 We had a busy, busy day yesterday! We woke up to see little flags out by each and every mailbox in our neighborhood! So sweet, thoughtful and festive of our HOA members! 

 We went to a small town parade in the morning. This was the first time we've been to a parade where half the road was open to traffic and half blocked off for a parade lol. (The kids are getting so big!)

 Five Guys for lunch! My favorite!

 We stopped by a new-to-us ice cream shop on the way to watch fireworks! 

 The sky was gorgeous right before sunset. 

 The little girls running around while watching fireworks

 After we got back home around 10:30 our neighbors were doing fireworks out in the street and brought over sparklers for our kids! The kids loved it! Believe it or not they had never done sparklers before so this was something new for them! 

Florida, Vow Renewal

I'm linking up with Monday Mommy Blog Hop today!

 We had our long awaited 10 year vow renewal on the beach while we were in Florida!
My Wedding Shop in PCB set everything up for us! Beautiful décor and we couldn't have been happier! 

These are a just few cellphone pics taken by friends and family. I will share the official photos soon! 

Water bottle labels were ordered off Etsy. These labels were awesome, easy to put on and held up great even in the ice! 

 Alex and Mar before the service. 

 I loved Mar's dress! This was the second dress I had picked out for her. I had originally ordered this one for the little girls too but decided to return their's and go with something simpler and cooler for them.. especially with Indie's sensory issues. All the dresses and wreathes are from Amazon.

The sign says "10 Years Later". We got a late start and photos
were kind of rushed but the sunset was amazing! 

 Sol, Mar and Indie 

Indie looking cute holding one of our bouquet's (ordered from Publix.) Thank goodness curly hair is so forgiving ha! We didn't have a bathtub in our Airbnb and she wouldn't even begin to let me wash her hair in the shower or sink. This is after a long day of travel and two days at the beach. 

We didn't have a wedding ten years ago so all this planning was new to me. It's crazy to plan something for so long and then it's over so quickly! Everything turned out beautifully and I can't wait to share more pics soon! 

Florida, Day 3

 Day 3 we were back at the beach with more family! 

 The beach was a little bright for Sol. I think this one was actually from Day 2 (Thursday)

 Indie struggled with the beach a bit but overall did pretty well! This was also from the day before, I believe. 

 After going home for showers, naps and a quiet time we met up with more family for dinner at Pineapple Willy's. Here's Indie looking adorable waiting for our table. 

 After dinner we headed WAY across to Marble Slab at Pier Park. My friend, Becky, ordered this over the top dessert. 

Sisters playing around outside Marble Slab. 

Florida, Day 2

 We went to the beach on our second day in Florida and met up with family from Texas! 

 Cousins having fun! 

 Indie fell asleep holding her little shovel. 

 Dinner with family Thursday evening. 

Indie had so much fun with her grandma!
