Ack! So sorry for the blog absence, friends. We have been head over heels in crazy this week and thankfully it appears that things are going to be slowing down for a little while here.

This week was very fun and very sad all at the same time. On Thursday, we said goodbye to our dear friends Clint and Leigh Ann and Hayley. So we spent a lot of week spending as much time with them as we could.

Sweet Hayley came to play with me and Nathan on Wednesday. Love these two!

 Dear friends. 🙂

On Friday, Jon’s school had a Doughnuts for Dad day so Nathan and I joined Jon for a super healthy breakfast at his school. Then we were racing over to join Uncle Bryant and Gammy at the trampoline place when a radio station (who I thought was calling an hour later) called for my interview. Nathan was yelling “MOM! MOM!” in the backseat, so I pulled off the road, rolled down the windows and did the whole interview outside the car while Nathan screamed inside it.

It will go down as a stellar moment in my mothering, I think. The ironic part is the host, Nicole O’Dell, was asking me about motherhood on the air.

Just lovely.

We went over to the neighbor’s house that afternoon and it started sprinkling. I walked over to tell the boys to come inside and found this:

Then finally we had a wonderful double date on Friday with our dear friends Shannon and Eric. Also monumental – Nathan had his first babysitter that day! He has only been watched by family and friends up until now so it was very nerve-wracking for me but he LOVED it.

Sunday, Jon was so sweet to let me sleep in. He and Nathan went and got flowers and made this amazing gourmet breakfast for me for Mother’s Day:

My sweet boys!!

And I love this one of me and my baby yesterday. He’s so big. I can’t even believe it.

Me and my amazing mom. I’m so blessed to have her! I can’t imagine where I would be without her.

Shannon and Eric came to my parents’ house for dinner last night and we celebrated Uncle Caleb and Auntie Cayce’s graduation from college. So proud of the two of them!

And that was our week! Ha! I promise I will not be so absent this week! What have you guys been up to in the meantime?? And when does everyone get out of school??
