Last year for our anniversary we were able to go see the Cubs play and we had a blast! Sadly this year we aren't able to see them over our anniversary weekend.

So I'll just think back to how much fun we had in the rain last year!

I've had it for 2 years and grab for it way to much!

Three different occasions :).

Show and Tell Tuesday-Top 5 Pics

I'm joining Andrea today for Show and Tell Tuesday where I'm talking about my top 5 pictures. Now this was hard for me. I had about twenty in my first post and then just eliminated from there. I'm sure in 5 years my top five will look different!

(Okay top 6 lol!)

Here ya go!

 #1 Destin trip

 Ash had found a photographer down there in Florida to take some family pictures since this was the first family vacation (on my dad's side) in a loooooong titme!

I wil cherish this picture forever!

 #2 Mathias family vacation

We've been taking these vacations for over twenty years and this was the first trip Noah was able to go. I will forever remember this trip and the memories I made with my hubby.

 #3 Cubs game

 Ahh our Cubbies!!! This was an impromptu trip to Wrigley & my first time!

I love Wrigley and we are trying to find anyway possible to go back again this summer!

 #4 Hawkins Health Center

This picture was taken in July 2016....Gabby and I went over to the new office to see what all was done. As you can see behind us the walls weren't up yet. I look back at that picture and cannot believe where we are today. I am so so thankful for that place and the people I work for and with!

#5 Weddings

One of Noah's best friends was married last summer and this picture has got to be my favorite!!

Just please look at Noah's face and see why :).

 #6 Punta Cana

Okay last picture....I just couldn't leave this one out! We had a blast this trip!!!

A week of the beach & a few good books!

I cheated and chose six but I was close!

Happy Tuesday :). 

February 2017

Back to catching up!

The 8th grade girls & boys both won blue chip this year and we were able to watch the boys win!

Noah watched these boys grow up :).

We celebrated Eli's baptism and occupied Embry's time by taking selfies!

Chocolate face and Cade's hat lol!

I have no idea where she gets these faces from!

We had a work conference in Columbus, OH....we found double doozies and I indulged in one!

My co-workers that were able to go....we had a blast!

Takin' selfies on my phone :).

One of Noah's freshmen basketball games. 

On Valentine's Day we both had the morning off so we headed for a breakfast date :). 

We received flowers from our bosses...have I mentioned they are the best?!

I picked these two up from daycare again and we hung out at my house before our home game. 

They found Noah's glasses and tried them out!

And then Audrey (co-worker) needed someone to watch these two girlies for an hour so I volunteered!

I started reading Be Our Guest (still haven't finished).

Has anyone ever had these from Trader Joe's???

They are so so good!

To round out February this is a picture of my grandpa. I was never able to meet him but I can't help but think my dad is so much like him it's crazy. 

Tomorrow I'll be back for Show & Tell Tuesday!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday friends!

I can't believe it's been almost four months since I've linked up for Friday Favorites!

Well...here ya go for your Friday :).

It's a random assortment.

The first day of Spring Monday had me all matchy-matchy!

Some bangles & my favorite cuff from Farmgirl Paints...I love that you can create anything you want!

Spring nail polish is another favorite this week! This one is from Julep and I love their nail polish. 

We received Alexa for Christmas and I love listening to music in the morning when blogging.....this week I found a station titled Easy Listening Radio. Think Adele, Michael Buble, & Harry Connick Jr.....just another favorite!

Everyday this week I've found some pop of Spring to weave into my wardrobe.....this tank from Old Navy (it's on sale for $10!)

I made chocolate chip bundt cake for our community group Wednesday night and it was a favorite!

My outfit Wednesday was as well!

I've been doing some Pinterest workouts on my lunch when there's time and this one was a favorite this week! Two weddings this summer so my arms need to be toned!

I spent a little time with Embry Kate this week and we dressed her up as Snow White!

My favorite Snow White!

I've finally figured out how to get my videos to play so here ya go :). 

That smile!

We then headed outside where Snow White was pulled around in her wagon :). 

I about peed my pants looking through pictures.....I told her to look up and say cheese in my pic. She decided to take her own!

A favorite for my week...this girl and her spunk!

I'll leave you with this for your weekend!

Another Spring outfit and the fact that my hair still looks presentable the following morning :).

We have a low key weekend planned!! Have a blessed weekend!
