A month of fun

May has been a great month! Lots of fun things going on. We needed some fun after the end of April was so terrible. Lawrence County, where I work, was really devastated and a few our farmers lost everything they had-so sad. Keep them in your prayers!

May started out with a diaper shower for Bennett hosted by my best friend Jaime and her mom Susan. It was great and so much fun! A few friends and an awesome brunch made for a great morning!

My beautiful hostesses....Jaime was so sweet and gave Kathleen a princess dress-up dress...she loved it:)

The next day was Mother's day. We enjoyed church and eating breakfast at Cracker Barrel with Momma and Daddy. That afternoon we grilled with Mary Helen and the kiddos. We had a great time! Kathleen even sported one of my dresses that my Momma made me when I was little...so special to me:)

The following weekend was Jessica's bridesmaids luncheon at her parents house. Mrs. Connie (in Mrs. Connie fashion) served up a wonderful lunch for all of Jessica's maids. It was great meeting her sweet friends. I don't have any pics:( That night I had Jessica a lingerie party at my house. It was lots of fun:)

On Thursday, May 26th, Kathleen and I headed to Bham with Cecilia and Crista for Jessica's wedding rehearsal. We had rehearsal and the Sonnet House and the dinner at The Club. AWESOME! Kathleen was the flower girl with Jessica's nephew who is just 1 day older that her. They were precious! Friday we got hair done and ate at Newks(I've been craving a Newk's que sandwich and it hit the spot-yummo!) Then headed to the Sonnet House. Jessica was an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL bride!! and the wedding was just gorgeous-that's an understatement. I forgot to give Mack my camera so I have no pics of the ceremony:( but trust me, it was perfect. they looked so happy and I wish them the best of luck!(I'd like to give myself kudos for not falling walking down the aisle in heels-your balance is all crazy anyways when you're 8 months pregnant. throw some heels in there and whoa! :)




the beautiful bride!!

On Saturday, we took a trip to the Bham zoo with Molly, Trey and Caroline. It was hot but we had the best time!

Sunday was my family shower at my Aunt Carol's. (yes, I'm sporting the red dress again!) It was so wonderful and Bennett got sooo many nice things. I was so excited and went home that night and put everything up in his nursery with Rita! I will have to post pics later:)

me, Momma and Carol-they did a great job on the pretty table:)

Ed and Rita were in for a few days and while Ed and Mack went canoeing on MOnday, the girls did a little shopping-always fun:) So, then the month ended on Tuesday with our 3 year anniversary! We had a yummy yummy dinner at Ricatoni's. I got Mack a pair of leather shoes( I have gotten him the traditional gifts each year we have been married-I'm so corny) and he got me the 'B' waxing poetic charm and the cross....something I've been wanting so bad ! It was perfect! It has been a fun and eventful 3 years and I couldn't be happier!!! :) I love you mack:)

A few of my 'new' favorite things...

So, here are a few things that I've discovered recently that make me smile a little:)...

These sweet invitations are the ones we are using for the family shower my aunt is throwing me. You can buy the digital format from http://www.etsy.com/shop/KelliMaree?ref=seller_info. I love using this method of invitations. There are SO many cute ones on Etsy and it's definitely cheaper when you have several to buy because you can order them like prints from Walmart or Shutterfly.

PINK FLAMINGOS! loving them. I have bought a couple of outfits with them on it for Kathleen. Even a little swimsuit. Hoping to have a 2 year old pink flamingo party this summer:) Planning on smocking these sweet little things on an aqua colored dress. Also, I guess you could count aqua/turquoise as one of my new favorite colors...I can't get enough!






These little beauties are my latest Etsy purchase from a great shop I just discovered called Posh Patina...http://www.etsy.com/shop/PoshPatina?ref=seller_info. She has some of the cutest pieces ranging from $5-$10. you can't beat that! right now, you can use the code SPRINGFEVER for 10% off.

Holy moly, this is by far my favorite! San Pellegrino Aranciata..YUMMO!! my best friend Jaime and her mom served these at the diaper shower they had for me a couple of weeks ago. It was so cold and refreshing. It's like a orange soda kinda thing. don't really know how to explain it but that it's GOOD! I am craving it RIGHT THIS SECOND! Gonna have to make my way to a Publix soon to get some:)

so, there you have it. just a few things that I'm lovin right now:)
