The Weekend

I absolutely LOVE the weekends! I have so much fun with Brian and Jackson no matter if we are doing something special or just hanging out at the house. We are always creating new memories and I cherish them all!

Saturday morning we went out for breakfast, which is a rare treat for us! Jackson couldn't wait to get kolaches. He kept calling for them in the car. He ate 2 all by himself!

After breakfast we headed over to a nearby park and played a little, ran a lot up and down the bridge,


and enjoyed the sun together!

Then we spent the rest of the morning shopping for tile and fixtures for our master shower. I learned that buying tile in fun but not cheap! We did find a good deal on the stone for the floor. (Since I haven't posted this yet, I will update you on the shower fixture we just found for half-off. It is of much higher quality and way cheaper! Yay, thank you Jesus for providing!) Jackson was a trooper through all three stores! I am excited to see what it will look like. I just want the shower done now:)


We had lunch at my Aunt and Uncle's house. She was having a "kitchen tour" party to show of her new kitchen. It looks awesome! Then I finished up some end of the year items for school while Jackson napped.


I was going to go the easy route of frozen meals for dinner but I got inspired at the last minute and made some yummy chicken kabobs with pineapple and onions. Brian and the naked chef grilled our meal:)

Sunday morning we overslept but still managed to get to church get in time for service. I spent the second hour with Jackson in the nursery. I was reminded why I only help every other week- way too many crying kids in a little room. Jackson is such a ham when I am in there. I wonder if he acts like that when I am not there?


While Jackson was supposed to be napping Brian tended to the lawn and pool and I did laundry and dishes.

Since Jackson wasn't giving in we got him up, went to the Splash Pad, and hung out in the pool the rest of the afternoon! I am looking forward to this life in 7 days:) Jackson practiced his swimming and jumping in. Miss Kylie has really helped him do more in the water than just sit and play on the steps!


We enjoyed a dinner of shredded chicken sandwiches, rice, and peas. The BBQ shredded chicken was out of this world good and so easy! The boys devoured it:)


You must put it on your menu this week! I promise you will thank me!

Simply place frozen chicken in crock pot. Combine 1 1/2 cups of honey BBQ sauce with 3/4 cup of Italian dressing and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Pour over chicken. Cook on high for 4 hours. Shred chicken with fork and indulge!
