Santee SprayGrounds

This morning’s playdate was at Santee Lakes and the Spraygrounds at the park. We have never been there before, but Jayders loves playing in water so I knew he would be about it. We pull up & first thing I see is a BUSLOAD of kids…of course a daycamp also decided today would be the perfect day for a spraygrounds visit. Jayden was definitely a little intimidated by all the kiddos at first, but Madeline grabbed his hand {he loves getting bossed around by the older girls} and coerced him into the waterpark…he was totally hooked after that J

Packin’ Cukes

Yesterday we got 10 pounds of pickling cucumbers along with our usual box of CSA produce. Good thing Nani & Pops were on hand to help out with this project; one {Pops} to play with Jayden, and the other {Nani} to help pack & pickle the cukes! This was a pretty long process, but in 5-6 weeks we should have some delicious pickles {and LOTS of them!!}.

Best Thing About Going to Sea World = The Cow?

Last week Jayden & I went to Sea World {turned out to be military appreciation day, which = crowds, which = not so awesome}, and despite the people traffic we had a great time watching the dolphin show and checking out the new Turtle Reef.

But the best part came on our way home…we made a pit stop at one of my favorite places…Chick-Fil-A! Yummmm. And I thought Jayden’s highlight of the day would be all the cool animals we saw at Sea World, but instead he couldn’t get over the Chick-Fil-A cow that paid us a special visit during lunch. He was soooo excited about this cow…

Baby Sprinkle…Take Two!

Last weekend my church threw me a lovely little baby shower…this little girl is already so loved and she hasn’t even made her debut yet! How adorable is that diaper cake??? I am definitely getting excited for this little one to ‘Grace’ us with her presence…one more week!! J Maybe…

Worst Blogger Ever

Last night Jason called me the worst blogger ever…which is totally true at the moment. I honestly thought that being off work would turn me into the BEST blogger ever. But for some reason not sitting behind a computer all day makes me even more hesitant to pick up the computer at home. That being said, I’ve got lots to catch up on…so bring on the posts J

QT With My Jayder Bug!

This is my second week of Maternity Leave & I am soaking up every last minute of this “time off” before the baby arrives. And I am experiencing for the first time what it would be like to be a full time mama and I am having so much fun spending lots of one on one time with Jayden…something that might be scarce in a week or two.

Between playdates, bible study, pool time, cleaning, preparing for Gracie, shopping & errands we have kept ourselves super busy {and I was worried about getting bored, ha!}…and last week Jayden & I visited the Santee library & he got himself a little arm tat!

Sometimes I really do wish spending time with this sweet little kiddo was my full time gig J

July 4th Yummies

Since I am officially in catch up mode here, I thought I’d share some of the yummies we had on the 4^th of July {especially since the cupcakes are taking a sever hiatus!} We had a very small gathering of family over for some food, drinks & pool time {Pool+ Living in Santee = Best Investment Ever}…and fireworks of course! And I made these patriotic mini trifles for dessert...Jayden put ALL of the blueberries on {he's my little baker in training!} J

Happy Belated Independence Day!
