wreath making and a Thursday visit

Last night I did a moms night in wreath making party with the stroller strides moms. It was a fun excuse to get together! We did a mexican potluck and everyone brought their own supplies. Food and drinks were plentiful!

Stacy and I each picked a wreath to make and help guide anyone who needed help.  Stacy helped some make a yarn wreath and I did a burlap one. I think this one was my most favorite moms night out (in).

here's the burlap wreath I made. Not sure I like the bow, will figure it out later

Today Scott woke up early and drove to Houston. He was going to go last night, but bc I had plans, he decided to wake up super early instead. I know, he's a good hubby!  Ironically, my mom and her husband Rick drove up from Houston while Scott was on his way down there. They stopped by on their way to Arkansas and Indiana. Peyton hasn't seen them since he was 4 months old, but that didn't seem to matter. He took 2 naps on his Mimi within in a 4 hour period and seemed to really like Rick.

Peyton also discovered his tongue last night and has been playing with it in his mouth. He likes to stick it out on the sides of his lips. Trying to take a picture of this is like trying to capture a mythical creature. Luckily, I snapped one without even knowing I did.

I was trying to take a picture of us and then I spotted his tongue sticking out

Oh, and today I unexpectedly received a book in the mail from my brother Derek, Blog inc. I know my "blogging" isn't up to par with most, but I didn't think it was horrible. lol Thanks big brother! I guess there's always room for improvement and I really would love to become a better blogger.

Busy bees

The last 5 months for Peyton and I have been busy! In April, thanks to Heidi, we joined a mommy group called Stroller Strides. Peyton and I usually go Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and occasionally on Saturdays (only because I tend to sleep in on Saturday). Stroller Strides has been Ah-MAZING for us! I get to workout and socialize with my baby. We also get together for playdates, lunch, and even mom's night out. I cannot say more positive things about stroller strides.

Here are some pictures from stroller strides:

this is the first mom's night out I attended

The instructor and owner Bethany had a baby boy.
We welcomed her back to work by wearing blue.

So many baby boys and this isn't even all of them

Peyton and I also recently joined The Little Gym. I absolutely LOVE it. We go on Wednesdays after stroller strides (a couple of hours after) and the class is 45 mins long. The class consists of educating us moms on ways to stretch our babies, how to properly walk with them, things that help develop their senses, bubbles, free play time, and the list goes on. Needless to say, those 45 mins go by before we know it.

Here are some cute pics from The Little Gym:

 Last weekend Scott and I celebrated 5 fantastic years of being together. I have officially become his longest relationshop. I know thoughts like that shouldn't matter since we are married, but in all seriousness... I WIN! hehe Scott took me shopping on Friday. I desperately needed new clothes, but for some reason all I wanted to do was shop for Peyton.

haha don't think he likes this hat.

Saturday we went to infamous Ruth's Chris Steak House. This was Peyton's first and probably last time (at least for a while) to go. The food was as good as ever, but I don't think we were able to enjoy ourselves. Dinner felt a little rushed and I was anxious.

Peyton really wanted those hear confeti

YUM!

Here are some pictures from today. Peyton is climbing and getting into everything! His favorite things to go for are things he is not supposed to have, OF COURSE!

PEYTON?!?..

what are you doing?? 

We watched the presidential debate tonight, and apparently it put Peyton to sleep
