Wenesday Whereabouts: Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Wednesday and happy birthday to me! I had a little birthday dinner with my family last night since everyone was off work.  I wanted a picture with both of the babies and these were the best that we could do, ha!

Today has been pretty uneventful.  Got up at six and the littles and I stayed in our pj's and watched a movie.  Then we had lunch with my mom.  The real celebration will be this weekend.  My sisters are throwing me a party since I'll be the big 3-0!



I found the cute pictures I took of the littles together on Christmas morning... they were still on the camera along with about 200 other pictures I have to go through!

I mentioned that we took a little weekend trip this past weekend and we travelled to a resort outside of Austin called Horseshoe Bay.  It was a really nice relaxing trip other than the four hour drive.  We had a little apartment at the hotel, which I've decided is the only way to go with two little ones.  There were two bedrooms, which was awesome for nap time, and even a living room so we could all hang out in the evenings after the kids went to sleep.  We took almost no pictures though!  I did manage to snap a super cute picture of Phillip snuggling a little bunny at the petting zoo they had and we did some silly poses at a fun light festival we walked through.  I also managed to get to the spa for a pedicure while we were there.  Before you go thinking I'm too fancy, I should tell you this was my first in over 6 months!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm off to finish reading an amazing new book I'm reading.  I'll tell y'all all about it tomorrow if I can finish it tonight!

 

Lately...

Wow so much to catch up on!  I said goodbye to law school this month after three years.  I truly can't believe that it's over.  I had a break for about two seconds and now I'm in bar review class to prepare for the Texas Bar Exam at the end of July.  Here are a couple of pictures from my graduation day although we got very few!

Over Memorial Day weekend, we traveled to North Carolina for a friend's wedding and had such a great time!  The Peanut slept wonderfully despite being in a new place and did great on the plane. 

At the lake!

Just wanted to show off my super cute top by Calypso St. Barth for Target!

On the way home in first class!!!

I'm trying to enjoy having a bit more time at home with Peanut right now, but it's been difficult with going to class everyday.  I truly cannot wait until August when I have an ACTUAL break!  On a positive note, I've had a chance to do more cooking and baking lately, which has been wonderful.  I have a couple of new recipes I hope to share with y'all later this week.

A few pictures from our recent trip...

I told y'all a couple of weeks ago that we were headed to Portland, Oregon for a wedding.  We went for five days and had such a good time!  Peanut did so well on the plane, but the hardest part was getting him adjusted to the time difference.  The first morning we were there he woke up at 4:30 am.  Yup, you read that right.  Apparently, there's a 4:30 AM as well, sheesh.  He finally seems to be adjusting BACK to central time now.

He really loved the plane and barely seemed to notice take off and landing.  The hardest part was definitely that he couldn't move as much as he would have liked.  We got him his own seat, and although he didn't sit in it much, it was so nice to have the extra room.

Up, up, and away!

I'm so excited that we are off to Portland, Oregon this weekend!  It will be the Peanut's first plane trip so I'm a little nervous, though.  I'm generally terrible at packing for trips so I've been determined to think ahead this time.  Usually, I pack way too many things and yet I still feel like I have nothing to wear.

So... I'm thinking that I will try to bring a few key pieces and base all of my outfits around them.  First, my go to fav Roxanne skinny jeans from Seven:

I love these jeans so much I have two pairs in blue and another in black!

 
Next, probably a simple pair of black leggings:

I'm loving these leggings from Target right now!

 My black suede over the knee boots:

I just got these for Christmas and they were a great buy at only $100.  I wasn't sure about the over the knee boot trend so I didn't want to spend a lot but I've been really happy with these!

A cute, versatile pair of flats:

Gotta love Revas and these pink one's are my favorite!

Then, I just need a few comfy tops and sweaters:

These are just a couple of the sweaters I got during a recent F21 shopping spree!

Finally, I am so excited about the new dress I got that I'll be wearing to the wedding we're going to on Saturday:

The dress is really gorgeous and I don't think the picture does it justice.

Tomorrow the Peanut's packing list!
