Weekend Wrap-up

I was able to spend an entire Saturday with Kimber and I loved it! It seems like we always have something to do or somewhere to go, so I don't get quality one on one time with her on the weekends! And secretly, I'm excited about the weather forecast for this weekend coming up. Cold & Snowy = all three of us snuggled up on the couch in our pajamas!! What could be better?? And maybe I'll sneak into town during her long afternoon nap for a mani/pedi!

 

Friday:

Friday was an emotional day for me. After the story about Batboy came out all I could do was think about Blake and how much I miss him. It made me think about Thanksgiving and how hard it is going to be this year without him. On Wednesday night, my parents & brother come up to my house and we do food prep for the next day. He was always in the kitchen with us wanting to help. I'm going to miss his laugh. His fun spunky attitude. And his snuggles when he got tired.

 

It was also my brother's birthday on Friday. How ironic that the Batboy event took place on his birthday. If you know Blake...you know his LOVE for Batman!

 

Nick is still in the fields, but got home at a decent time on Friday night. So he was able to feed Kimber & give her a bath. After she went to bed, we hang out on the couch. It's just what I needed after such an emotional day. 

 

She looks so cute snuggled into her car seat. I still think she looks adorable in this owl hat!

 

On Friday night after work, we hung out in her room for awhile and played. I still can't get over how well she's sitting these days! And those baby blue eyes - adorable!

 

Saturday:

We were up bright & early on Saturday. Kimber is used to getting up between 5:30-6:00am during the week and that's the same time she gets up on the weekends. Nick was out of the house by 6:30 to go to the farm, so it was a 'Mommy & Mini' day.

 

We played. She napped. I cleaned. We ran errands. She napped again. I cleaned some more. We played. I wrote {long overdue} thank yous.

 

That night we had a 30th birthday party to go to. Funny how much parties have changed since all of Nick's friends have little kids/babies. There were just as many babies at the party as adults and most of the crowd left by 10:00pm!

 

 

 She LOVED these shoes! I was trying to get a picture of her in her new outfit & all she could do was look at her shoes!

 

The dreaded thank yous. I'm still working on them. And have yet to finish her baptism thank yous. Did I mention she was baptized in July? I NEED to get them done!

This was my first time at Hobby Lobby in MONTHS! I was so excited to walk thru the aisles and think of crafting projects to work on this winter!

 

 

Play time after she got up from her afternoon nap. She's doing so good playing by herself these days! I was able to get stuff done around the house while she hung out in the living room.

 

Sunday:

We were up bright & early on Sunday. {see a theme here?}

We went to church and had Sunday dinner with the Hickethier side to celebrate all the fall birthdays. Nick's uncle is moving to Europe in December, so we made sure to take family pictures together.

 

 

 Gramma Hickethier with her great grandkids. Chloe did not want her picture taken at all!

 

 I cropped the picture and this is what I was left with. LOVE IT! Definitely going to print this one out!
