INSTALOVE // FRIENDS

Just a few images from this past week, including being in austin with Robin... seeing my nephew for a few minutes... Katelyn & Makenna coming to bandera... spotting the cutest squirrels outside the art museum...  etc.  I haven't been taking nearly as many phone photos this past week as I usually do.  But I'm happy to have these to remember these moments by.

Yesterday we celebrated my birthday with James parents.  We went to a mexican restaurant that none of us had been to before.  We had the yummiest coconut rum and cranberry drinks, and their homeade corn tortillas were to die for.  And for my birthday they all came by as sang to me and adorned me with this huge hat.  It was fun.  And we got free sopapillas!!!  It was a nice time and Im so glad we went out. 

Then his parents needed to pick up a few things so we went to the new heb and James dad was so excited to show me around in there.  It was so cute.  I bought myself some flowers and whiskey as a birthday gift to myself.  Im a happy camper. 

When we got home, James and I took Violet down to the river.  Ill post some photos soon.  She loves it down there.   

Im excited, in two days one of my besties, Katelyn will be here to visit!  And then we get to party again!  I hope I never get tired of birthdays. 

BABY DON'T WORRY

Saturday we had a full day of family and friends.  Starting out with this little boy's birthday party.  He was so cute and had so much fun.  I also got to see his baby brother for the first time since I left the hospital after his birth.  He is so darn precious. 

Is he not the sweetest?  He is a week old today!   

Then we went to visit my family at my nanna's house.  We got to see my nanna, my brother, my nephew, my aunt, and my cousin and his new girlfriend.  It was so good to see everyone.  I got the sweetest video of Aiden singing me a Bob Marley song.  Its kind of dark and the quality isnt great, but it was too sweet not to share.  This is actually the second round of him singing it to me.  The first one was even sweeter, a moment I will not forget. 

I love that little man. 

Then we left my nanna's around 8:30 that night and went to James parents house where they were having a 50th birthday party for his aunt.  Right when we walked into the bar they were all line dancing, even his dad.  It was hilarious.  We ended up hanging out with his family until 2 in the morning.  It was a long long day full of family love.   

Did anyone get to witness the super moon?  It has been so beautiful the past two nights.  If you missed it, the KV Moon Reports were posted on friday.  Go check them out! 

The Mountain Girl Clothing giveaway ends in 2 days!  Check back later today on the giveaway page for an awesome giveaway from Blowfish Shoes! 

And last but not least, a message from my 5 year old nephew... "baby don't worry, about a thing... cause every little thing, is gonna be alright."  <3

MEET LAUREL LEA

Little Laurel Lea graced us with her heart melting presence yesterday at 6:39 pm.  She was a bit at risk, so after about 12 hours of my friend Bird's labor failing to progress, they performed a c-section.  Even though that was not what anyone wanted, we were all happy to have a healthy beautiful baby in our arms.  I hate that my friend has to be in so much pain now though.  But she is a trooper, so I know she can do it.  ​

I am absolutely in awe over this little one.  She has already planted a new seed of baby fever in me.  I just love her so much.  Just look at that little face!  I took alot of sweet photos of family holding her, but I didn't want to post those here on my blog, but they are on my facebook for the family to see.  It was so sweet watching Bird's dad's face light up while staring at his new grandbaby.  My heart is so full of baby love right now.​
