#teamCarelas2015

Some friends of ours got married a few weekends ago, on my birthday actually.  Mike was also a part of the Saber Team so there were plenty of wedding festivities to attend that weekend for him.  The wedding was in Pinehurst so Mom and Scott came down to watch all the kiddos for us so i could go to the wedding.  

We've been trying to teach Macky to take a bottle for a few months now.  He hasn't ever been much of a fan, but it seems the older he gets the more unwilling he becomes.  I was a little worried about how it would go since we would need at least 2 feedings while I was gone.  Turns out my worries came true and about 730 I had to jump in the truck and rush it back to Fayetteville to get that silly baby fed.  Mom and Macky also got in the car to try and meet me in the middle so it wouldn't be so far for me to go and so i could get back to the wedding and enjoy time with our friends before it was all over.  About 45 mins later we were in the middle of miles of pinetrees parked  in front of an Ammunition Supply Point (oh the irony, being that's Mike's job) and feeding Macky in the drivers seat.

After that I hurried back to the wedding in time to see the first dance, eat my dinner that my hubs saved for me and then go out on the dance floor to have some fun when our good friend got terribly sick and we spent the next hour in the bathroom.  Totally the WORST time to get the flu, but it made for a pretty good story later.  After that we all just gave up on wedding fun and all went home to sleep off the long evening.  

That being said the wedding ceremony was beautiful and after a year of watching Keri plan this thing it was great to see it all unfold!

MC.Beach.Weekend.2015

Just a few weekends ago I got away with my college friends to have our 2nd annual beach weekend! This time 8 of us were able to go as well as 2 new babies and 2 babies on the way.  It was a nice relaxing weekend.  We had a little beach time, pedicures and a lot of laughs and good conversation.  I'm gonna miss this the next few years while we are in the QC.  Maybe i'll get to sneak away one year :)

the house and porch where we sit and enjoy the slow mornings...a big change from our lives at home! 

and the beautiful morning view

this little guy did amazing on the trip.  despite a tooth popping through over the weekend (one week shy of 4 months!) he didn't cry at all! 

my happy baby

how we enjoyed the beach

although really Macky spent most of his beach time like this giving me great "mommy tan lines", but of course the snuggles are always worth it 

just look at that face!

in other news, it was this weekend that Macky started to laugh too.  i think it had something to do with all those funny girls, specifically Auntie Amanda 

he also enjoyed some fun playtime wit Auntie Megan

of course we had a photo shoot thanks to a tripod, remote and Megan orchestrating it all

babies and mommas

Sorry Elliotte, think we need a wider lense or longer arms!

i know Macky was looks less than thrilled, but i promise he was happy

and a beautiful view that night 

  

another good morning of snuggles on the porch before we go back to real life 

Shave Like Daddy

The shaving toys from Christmas have been a hit with the kids while they take a bath, but Davis got to get a special private lesson with Daddy a few days ago.  

 below are a couple of cute videos too 

April with my Loves

Here's April's Random Moments...

there were some days that looked like this... you know the "super mom days" where everything goes great and we tackle the world (okay, maybe just fville) 

chickfila, craft time and then a stop by walmart

i just love this picture....the limo cart, and all my littles being exactly who they are

and while those days are great and everything, lets be honest, below is really what my life is like most days. Home with my littles, doing what we do :) 

this cape is certainly getting love the past few months

and the big3 sure do love their little brother

 

all her meows, and even sharing!

a meow for me?

sitting in the Bumbo!

i love my slow mornings with these babies

there was plenty of good daddy time too!

 "hang out with daddy" time at Lowes while brother was at TaeKwonDo

and riding/driving the lawnmower!

and while i'm not in the picture this was a date night this past month.  Macky's a pretty good "third wheel" and we don't mind him crashing our dates...at least for now:) 

haircuts with Pop Pop, this pitiful face is so classic Davis...gotta love it
