Back to the Grind

Back to work on Monday. I couldn't have asked for a better week off. I got to spend some quality time with Graham, family, and friends. Only 6 more weeks until summer break! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....

I've had a busy week! Wednesday, Graham and I had lunch with my dad and brother. Graham got to sit on the lawn mower and take a ride around the yard with my dad.

I took Graham for a walk with my mom and Emma. We walked a mile and a half with these sweet babies. I pushed the double stroller the whole way, so I think I get double points for that. Too bad I didn't burn double the calories! ;) This pic was taken before the walk started.

Here is little G after the walk. Still just as happy! I mean, look at the sweet face... I could just eat him up!

With the combined efforts of my mom, dad, and grandma, we now have a padded fireplace cover to protect G man's little face when he starts using that to pull himself up. I think it turned out pretty darn cute. Thanks family!

Then, I had dinner with some girls from my Beachbody team that night. It was great getting to know them and hear their stories!

Thursday, I had lunch and got pedicures with a sweet friend. It was so much fun getting to catch up with her and treat ourselves to a little toe spa. :) Got to spend that afternoon playing with sweet man, G.

Sorry, but I'm not sorry for all the photos of him! ;) We had dinner with my family on Thursday night. Graham wore his litte baseball outfit! I can't wait to see him in an actual baseball uniform in a few years. I will be one happy baseball momma!

I got my cool new electronic cutter, the Silhouette Portrait, on Thursday night. I couldn't wait to try it! I made some little headbands for my niece's first softball game.

And one for sweet baby Emma.

Elmwood green for those Lady Raiders!

I also made myself a monogrammed t-shirt to wear. I love my new little hobby!

I sold the headbands for $10 each. I would love to make something for you! I'm going to start a little "business" on the side making custom vinyl decals. I am even creating a fancy little business card! So legit and everything! ;) I can order just about any color headband for team colors, school colors, or just to wear for everyday cuteness! If you have any questions or want to order something, just email me at chelseacoledesigns@gmail.com.

Graham and I went shopping with my mom on Friday. Here is a pic of us hanging out in a dressing room. Isn't that what everyone does on shopping trips? Dressing room selfie!

Friday night we went to dinner with some friends. It was so weird telling the hostess that we had 4 adults and 3 kids! 3 KIDS! My, how life has changed for all of us in a few short years. But...I love it! I ordered a healthy little taco salad, except this healthy little salad was drenched in yummy chili con queso! Good thing I don't start round 2 of the 21 Day Fix until Monday! I've lost another pound this week, and I haven't even been doing the meal plan this week! It just changes the way you think about eating. I love it! I have two friends joining me, and I'm so excited to have them join me and hear their results at the end!

After dinner, we went to my niece's softball game. Graham cheered them on with his mouth wide open just about the whole time. GO KHYLEIGH! She did a great job!

I came home to see my surprise Mother's Day gift from Ryan and Graham. My in-laws came and hung it up while we were gone. It took my breath away! I hung it over my bathtub, so I can see that sweet face every morning when I am getting ready and every night when I get ready for bed.

Here is a close up. So beautiful.

We went to my sister-in-law's graduation this morning at JBU. It was cool to get to see the campus and celebrate Tiffany! My sister will be attending this college in a few months. We will be back in 4 years for another graduation! Graham was about done when it was time for pictures. He needed a nap. Big time.
