X-tremely V: friends

Linking up with Erika, Narci & Andrea for...

What happens when you have two weekdays off of work?
Your Friday Favorites post never gets finished and goes live :/
But in my mind I am thinking...#betterlatethannever

So I am backing up over the past week to bring you my favorites today including a short weekend recap :)

I joined X and his classmates for a field trip to Gorman Nature Center about a week ago.
I do live in the country and the woods (not by my choice), but I am terrified of snakes and frogs.
So what is the first "things" they pull out to show the kids?
Snakes!
PLURAL!!!!
I was cringing and sweating in my seat!

Then they came around so the kids could touch/hold them!
YUCK!!!!!

Thankfully, the snakes were put away and they brought out some box turtles to check out.

But then this happened...

They told the kids they could hold/pet/wear the bigger snake (about 6-7 feet long) if they wanted to.
Why oh why did my kid want to?
Definitely NOT a favorite moment for me, but he thought it was so cool.

We headed outside after that to dig around in the pond for creatures.

I mentioned this the other day, but due to it being a new favorite I figured I would mention it again.
Facebook Marketplace is awesome!
I don't have time to set up a garage sale and such, and this is so easy to list all of X's old baby clothes!
You can check out my listings here if you are interested :)

This is more strange than a favorite, but I had to share it.

Look at the bed of that truck in front of me.

There is a women laying down under the cover of the truck holding in some tarp thing while they are driving!!!!!
WHAT????

I mentioned the other day in my April recap post that X has been having some weird tics and such for a little while now.
We headed to the doctor last week and they ordered him to have blood work done :(
My poor guy!
Despite being nervous, he handled it like a champ!

UPDATE: We received a call back from the doctor and everything checked out OK.
So for now we just have to ignore the tics and pray they go away.

And then he got a fresh haircut, which calls for my favorite silly pictures!

The very next day I had a visit with one of my favorite people and got a much needed haircut and touch up as well!

After X's game the other night it was pretty nice, so Mic went out on the field and kicked the ball around with him.
I swear those are some of X's favorite moments!

Then we came home and turned on the NFL Draft to watch our Cleveland Browns do what they do best...pick the wrong guy!

The rest of the draft seemed to be pretty good for the Browns thankfully.
Fingers crossed Baker Mayfield does not turn into Johnny Manziel 2.0!!!!

I couldn't resist joining the fun on Instagram Saturday when I saw the #oldheadshotday

This one is from 1998.

X had another soccer game on Saturday morning and he had a huge crowd despite it being super cold!
I actually stole these next few pics from my mom :)

And I was so glad she snapped a pic of the tunnel at the end of the game!
I am always part of the tunnel so I never get to take one.

We packed and moved more things on Saturday and called it an early night.
But on Sunday we headed to breakfast with one of X's favorites..."Uncle" Tim!
So glad he flew in from Austin, Texas for the weekend just to watch this kid play soccer!

I absolutely love this top and feel I need it! lol!
I sent this girl a message about it, but got no reply :(
Does anyone know where it is from??

One of my favorite things to do when I am just laying in bed and can't sleep is to take these silly quizzes on Facebook.
It was absolutely no surprise to me that I got 99% correct on the 60's and 70's sitcoms!
Despite being an 80's/90's kid, I grew up watching all those shows!

And on that note I am calling it a post!
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
What's on tap for this first week of May for you all?

It's Friday!

And that means it is time to link up with Erika, Narci & Andrea for...

Today is packed full of weekend fun, mail goodies, and more!

So grab your favorite morning beverage (or afternoon/evening -whenever you are reading this) and let's get into it!

I was WAY overdue for some new make up brushes!

I had received a few new ones here and there, but not a true set.

I didn't want to spend a ton of money, but wanted to get something that offered quite a few options since I just picked up a contour kit (that I love).

After checking the reviews I ordered this set on Amazon.

It arrived in two days and I love it!

They came in this great travel pouch and seem to work really well so far!

It opens up to this...

Friday night was the last night of Upwards basketball for X, so we got there early since they weren't practicing before the game this time.

X had so much fun getting to have some one-on-one time with his coach :)

This game was a lot different than the previous games.

They played three 6 minute quarters in each half, had an extended halftime where they walked out of the gym, and they had refs out there instead of the coaches!

I think they all had so much fun, and truly improved so much!

We finished the season by celebrating at our favorite spot - Skyline Chili with some funnel cake fries :)

The next morning we were up cleaning and getting the house together for our last party before the remodeling begins.

But before the party, we hopped in the car with some of our favorites to go watch our local high school play in the Regional title game :)

X was pumped to ride in the 3rd row with one of his besties!

About an hour and half later we arrived at Bowling Green State University and were ready to cheer on the Lexington Minutemen!

This game was INTENSE from the moment it began!!!!

We played Bay Village (super close to where I grew up) and they were really good!

I swear every single kid on their team was an excellent 3 point shooter!

And their big guy in the middle was able to block shots really well.

But thankfully, Big Lex was only down about 5 at the half.

And they made some changes when they got back on the court to really stop the 3 point shot.

And we took the lead!!!!

Honestly, I don't know how I had any nails left by the end of the game.

But in the last 7 seconds we were up by 1 point and Bay had the ball.

They threw up 2 shots, yes you read that correctly, 2 shots and neither went in!

The buzzer went off and it was over!

LEXINGTON WON!!!!!!

So what am I, and most of Lexington doing today and fingers crossed tomorrow?

Heading to Columbus for the State Tournament to cheer them on!

#finalfourherewecome

X's school even made them a sign.

He told me he signed his name by the L in Lex :)

Today we play Akron St. Vincent/St. Mary's.....LeBron James' high school :/

Wish us luck!!!!!

That evening we celebrated the big win, a couple birthdays, and one of my favorite holidays...St. Patrick's Day!!

I love doing life with these ladies!

My only complaint about the above picture....WHY are my cheeks trying to eat my eyes??? ;)
And how is it possible to have so many dimples in my cheeks???

And here was our whole crew!
