Our Weekend

We had a really nice weekend!

I spent Friday morning at home by myself for the first time with Brody and Jillian. Josh had to take care of a few things at work so he went into the office and then came home after lunch. The morning went really well. I honestly wish everyday at home would be that easy. :) I think Brody knew he needed to be on his best behavior because he was soooo helpful!! We spent a lot of time on the couch watching TV. Brody also spent some of the morning playing his "goo-tar" (guitar) for Jillian and singing songs to her that he made-up. :) Then I bathed them, got them dressed, fed Brody, nursed Jillian and put them both down for naps by noon. Sure, I hadn't even brushed my hair by noon but at least Brody and Jillian were good to go for the day! Ha!

Jillian hanging out in her room Friday.

Saturday morning we went to Stella's 2nd birthday party! Since they live just a few streets away, I decided to go, too. I needed out of the house for a little while! :)

Brody had the best time at the party! All of his little friends his age are girls but he doesn't seem to mind. He loves when they all get together to play. Jillian and I hanging out in the living room. She slept in her car seat in Tom and Sydney's bedroom most of the party. She is such a sweet girl!
We had tickets for the big Arkansas/Alabama game yesterday but we decided to sell them since I couldn't go. Josh wanted to spend the day at home with us watching the game. His parents came-up and we all watched the game at our house. I hated that we beat ourselves at the end but it was such an exciting game to watch!

We all wore our Razorback attire to watch the game. A friend of mine from high school made Jillian a cute little Razorback tutu to wear this fall. It actually came in the mail the day she was born so it was perfect timing!! Kama has a blog and an Esty site if you are interested in ordering one. We love the one she made us! Thank you, Kama!

Sometimes I look at pictures and I cannot believe that Josh and I have two kids. We are loving every minute of it! It's more fun than I could have ever imagined!
Brody LOVES his sister. He is the best big brother. I cannot say enough wonderful things about how he has handled the whole transition. He has been awesome! We are sooo proud of him! One of his favorite things to do is hold Jillian and give her kisses...or mouth-to-mouth as I like to call it! Ha! We went to church this morning for the first time as a family of 4! It was really cool outside this morning so I pulled out boots to wear to church. It was a much welcomed changed!

My girl and me. She had on a cute little pink peacoat. :)
We do not plan to put Jillian in the nursery for a while so she stayed in the service with us until it was time for her to eat. Then she and I had to leave and head to the nursing room.

The four of us at church!
After church we went to eat with my family and Josh's parents at a local Mexican restaurant. Brody loves chips and salsa so Jill poured him a little cup of salsa. He took a bite and then starting yelling, "That hot! That hot!" It cracked us up! After a few bites he got used to it and was able to eat it. He also had punch with his meal which is why his tongue is red in this picture! Ha!
My mom is staying with me this week during the day. We will be working on last minute birthday party details since a certain little boy in our house will be 2 next Sunday!!! How is that even possible?? We cannot wait for a big birthday weekend at our house! It's going to be a lot of fun!!!



Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!
