Catchin Up

Its been a while since I posted, so here is one loooooooong post about what's been going on...here it goes, don't hold your breath cause we've been busy!!

 I started nannying a little girl back in February and its going so well! Her name is Zoey and she is 6 months old. SUCH a cutie pie with her little rolls and chubby cheeks. Dillon is SO good with her, its just melts my heart. He gives her hugs and kisses and tries to share with her. He even cheers for her when she does something new like eat a puff or sit up on her own. I think this is preparing him for a sibling in the not-so-near future! haha!  These two are so much fun to be with during the week and we enjoy our playdates and park visits! This is Zoey..don't you just want to eat her up?!

Since The end of January, we have been working on flipping our dinning room and living room....this has been a big pain in the tush(mostly in mine) with two babies at home but somehow we managed not to go crazy and we now have a living room right next to the kitchen!! I am soooo happy and so grateful for my wonderful, hard working hubby who ripped out the carpet and put down new floors. He did everything by himself...the only thing I did was pick out the new couches, ha! (Thats a whole other post for another day...I will post before and after pictures on that one)

This is one of Dillon's best buddies and probably his BFF if he could tell me that. Collin and Dillon hang out about 2-3 times a week at playdates and such. They are a month apart and have become a lot more aware of each other and love to play together. They are quite the pair...Dillon is way taller than Collin but Collin is heavier and could take Dillon down any day. haha. I love this cute picture of them beating each other up playing...

Dillon and I took a long awaited trip to Greenville and stayed with his Godmommy and my BFF Jenna. It was nice to get out of town for the weekend and hang out with friends. We met some friends and a buddy of Dillon's for brunch and we caught up on life and had a great time. I have known Beth and Ashley since we were in elementary school and I can't believe how grown up we all are now!

Have you ever been ziplining???  If you haven't then you need to go...like this weekend.  It is so much fun, especially when you go with all women who are all crazy and love to have fun!  We went to Richland Creek Zipline Canopy Tours in Asheboro. Not too far but you still feel like you are getting away.
 They are family owned and super nice. You get your helmet, harness and gloves...then climb up to the first one and off you go!   It takes about 2 hours to complete the tour with a nice stop in the middle to climb the rocks to the river. 

Evan has been coaching lacrosse again for Riverside High School and they are doing pretty good this season...much better than last year!  Dillon went to his first game of the year and once he warmed up to the loud (and I mean LOUD), crazy, overzealous lacrosse moms and dads who also wanted to steal hold him, he was fine and clapped every time he heard the yelling or clapping. It was more a reassurance for himself.  I could see it in his facial expression "Im okay, Im okay, just keep cheering, Im happy, this is okay, everyone is happy."  Poor kid.  He also wanted to go hang out with daddy when he spotted him but that obviously wouldn't work out so well. Sooooo after about 5 minutes, we left. haha. Okay maybe not five but no more than 15 minutes. It was also bedtime so that right there was his ticket out. One day, he will be on that field playing but he just doesn't know it yet.  :)

Last but not least, another wonderful girls night with my Mother in Law, and Sister in Laws. We drove to Raleigh to see Idina Menzel, who you may know from Broadway shows like Wicked, Rent and she guest starred on Glee as Rachel's mom. Oh and she's married to Taye Diggs...just sayin. 
Her website-here
  She is pretty awesome, not only a phenomenal singer but she is hilarious! She gave a great concert and I loved the songs/lullabies she wrote to her baby boy.  :)    There was a really sweet thing that happened while we were there...she said while on the plane from Chicago to Raleigh, she met a man who was in the military and she really connected with him. He gave her a special coin that had a lot of meaning. She invited him to the show and she didn't know he was there. All of a sudden, he stood up and walked up to the stage and gave her another coin. Awesome moment!

Okay, thats all. Im done for another couple months, haha. Just kidding...Easter will probably be next!
