Can't Get Enough


This past weekend, Kyle and I headed to Hennessey to spend some time with the family and hear all about Mom and Dad's trip to Niagra Falls. They went last week in celebration of their 30th wedding anniversary! After all those years of marriage and putting others first, I think they definitely earned a relaxing trip away from it all with just the two of them. They had a great time, and I really enjoyed looking through the pictures and hearing about their travels!

There are just some things you can't get enough of in life. For Kyle it's golf, for Josh it's barber shops, for Dad it's visiting wineries, for Asher it's playing with horses and watching Bubble Guppies, and for me it's spending time with family. Whether it's the flavor of the month or a lifelong passion, it's good for the soul to do things you truly enjoy. I hope you all get a chance to soak up the things you love this summer. Before we know it, fall will be here! (I recite this to myself every time I am drenched in sweat 2 minutes after stepping outside.)

Below are a few videos and pictures from this weekend.

Bubble Guppies is the strangest little show, but Asher loves it. He went from not being able to sit in front of the TV for 5 minutes to watching the entire 15 minute episode and begging for more in just a few weeks. Poor Stacy. :) He's a little too into the show to answer my questions:



Josh was so excited to show me his new set of antique straight razors. You can't tell, but each one is engraved with a different day of the week. I had no idea such things existed.


Of course I had to show Asher my blog book and because 90% of it is pictures of him, he loved it!



Apparently caterpillars can't get enough of parsley. When we got to Mom and Dad's we found 8 of them munching away on her herbs. It was the book "Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar" in action!

Josh and Stacy got Mom and Dad thank you gifts for letting them live there while Josh went to school. Mom's was a Kitchen Aid mixer, so she let me have her old one!

It's not exactly showroom new and a little discolored, but I'll take what I can get!

Mom and Dad brought Asher 4 horses back from Canada and he was REALLY excited:

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but I LOVE the first Sex and the City Movie. The second, not so much, but I’m pretty sure everyone in America agrees with me on that one. I watched it while I was sick last week. In the movie, there’s an exchange between Carrie and Big that goes a little something like this: C: “Have you ever written me a love letter?” B: “Does a love fax count?” C: “When have I EVER gotten a love fax?” B: “Oh, I'm sure my secretary sent you one...at some point. What can I tell you, baby? It's just not my style. Besides, those guys had to write. They were separated from their loves by wars and hundreds and hundreds of miles. I'm right here. Hello. You make me very happy.” C: “Yeah, yeah. Put it in writing.” Comic genius. Anyway, that got me thinking that Kyle and I rarely ever stop to focus on what we love about each other. Unfortunately we spend far too much time pointing out things we wish the other would do differently.

Independence Day

Where did this week go? It seems like the 4th of July was just yesterday, but I realize I'm a little delinquent with this post. Last weekend was a very long one for me - four days to be exact, and I loved every minute of it. I especially loved Monday because for the first time in a very long time, Kyle had a holiday (besides Christmas or Thanksgiving) off! We weren't incredibly productive, but we got to spend time with the Fox family and Tom, so it was a pretty good day. Stillwater's fireworks were on Sunday, so we invited Amanda and Kurtis over for a cookout. Then we drove across town to Kim and Trey's so we could have a front row seat for the show. They weren't there, but they were kind enough to let us sit in their driveway. :) We had a great time and were able to really celebrate this year, as opposed to last year when Kyle was still healing from his surgery. I really enjoy the 4th of July. When I was younger it meant getting together at Grandma and Grandpa Tayl

A Yellow Brick Farewell

Image
Written August 18, 2017: Well it's finally happening. This weekend, we are packing boxes and preparing to move out of our little yellow brick house. I can't help but be sentimental as I think about all the life we've lived here. It has been a wonderful first home for us. We both agree that if we could pick it up and move it, we would. But it's time to start a new chapter. Life has changed in so many ways over the past seven years. In these four walls, we have experienced it all - highs, lows and plateaus. (And no, I am not just referring to our house hunt, which was brutal for everyone.) I am so grateful for where we are today. God has blessed us in so many ways. I started this blog to document our lives, and I am so glad to have all of these yellow brick memories to look back on. But as we enter this new chapter, I am finding my devotion to capturing the moment is often keeping me from living in it. I don't want to hold so tightly anymore. I am ready to l
