I'm back! Just spent a few days with this lovely lady above. Katelyn and her family came to stay with us for 3 days to celebrate my birthday. Already missing them! I have lots of catch up to do, so this one is a quickie. But Ill be back several times over the next few days with lots and lots of photos of our weekend. I hope everyone had an awesome weekend!
DOWN BY THE RIVER
We took these photos when we went down by our river on my birthday. It's crazy how much its over grown just from last year. And its kind of hard to believe it was the first time weve been down there this summer. There was a tiny bit that was flowing enough to get in. But Im talking like maybe sit in. Standing its not even up to my knees. We need some major rain. Even after all we got for a few weeks, its still so so low. But the grass is green and the animals are out! We spotted those two baby deer on the way down there. Ive been seeing lots of baby deer. Twice Ive seen one just outside our back yard this week that is so tiny, just a few weeks old. Its so cute. I have yet to catch a photo of it. I only see fleeting moments of it with its mama keeping a close eye on me. I just love the look on its little face in this photo above! And the look on Violet's face in the photo above it, ha ha. She enjoyed our time down there.
When we were there we came across the bones of about half a deer. We went back today to collect them. They are not quite done, still a tiny bit of soft tissue left on them, so I just left them in my woods to finish their process. Its very rare I have come across so many parts like that.
We found the rock that says 'this rock belongs to god' down there too. I just thought it was funny. I love coming across random things like that.
In case your wandering, that rad vest was a gift from my aunt for my birthday (good taste) and I have no idea where its from, but I love it.
BIRTHDAY DINNER
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.

My sweet friend katelyn and her family are coming from Louisianna just for my birthday! Pretty awesome. Im excited to have a few friends over to my house on sunday. Im keeping it very simple this year.
My outfit above is from this saturday that I spent with family. I love this shirt of my mamas so much, so glad I still have it. The bag is from my wishlist I posted here. The folks at persunmall were so sweet to send it to me. It IS perfect for my camera, so happy! The braided feather necklace will be in my shop soon! Along with a few others in different colors. Im so excited about them. Feather in a bottle necklaces were one of the very first things I had in my shop and its been ages since Ive made any. And these sandals... um, the best. Both my best friend and aunt gasped when they saw them. Keepers.
