What's Up Wednesday | May

I guess it helps if you hit publish :)

Happy Hump Day!

Linking up with Mel, Shay & Sheaffer today!

What we're eating this week

Since this weekend is Memorial Day, I planned ahead and picked up some ribs, green beans, and watermelon for a relaxed celebration at home :)

What I'm reminiscing about

X starting preschool.

I swear he just started school last month (not really), and now he is finishing up his first year this week!

School actually was done last week, but he gets to go this week for some extra fun days :)

What I'm loving

While it is exhausting, I love helping coach X's t-ball team!

Those little guys are so darn cute, and pretty good too!

What we've been up to

Mini trips here and there.

We went to Cincinnati for Mother's Day weekend,

X and I headed north and spent the weekend visiting with my mom, dad and step parents,

and then we just returned Monday from a long weekend at Lake Michigan :)

What I'm dreading

Honestly, taking care of the pool :(

Don't get me wrong, I am super excited to have our own pool.

It is just the extra time that it is going to take to maintain things, clean it, etc.

And don't get me started on dealing with the chemicals!

But at the end of the day I know it will create some amazing memories for our little family and that is what really matters :)

Throwing back to X's first time in the pool 4 years ago :)

What I'm working on

Getting things in order for our summer babysitter/nanny to start watching X next week!

Eeek! So much to do!

What I'm excited about

I am headed to the Dixie Chicks concert next week with a good friend :)

I can't wait!

Side note: I used to sing Dixie Chicks songs every.single.time I went out for karaoke!

Needless to say I am pumped!

What I'm watching/reading

I just finished watching the final season of Banshee with Mic,

and I saw the tale end of The Voice to see the winner.

Spoiler Alert: It was Curly Sue.

While I think she was truly amazing all season, I was secretly pulling for Adam Wakefield :)

What I'm listening to

I finally hooked up my SiriusXM to my phone so I can listen to it while I am at work.

I tend to like the 90's on 9 the best :)

When I am not listening to Sirius, I tune into the Bobby Bones show in the morning on my way to work.

Love that crew!

What I'm wearing

My go-to, must have denim jacket!

The weather has been all over the board this month,

so I am reaching for my jacket more than anything else.

What I'm doing this weekend

We are *hopefully (weather permitting) hanging out with some friends on Friday evening downtown for some live music and adult beverages,

X has a t-ball game on Saturday morning,

we have a high school graduation party to attend,

and we are celebrating Memorial Day with a cookout!

Fingers crossed the weather is nice and we can go swimming too!!!

What I'm looking forward to next month

My niece being born!

Lily is due on June 22nd :)

What else is new

I just chopped a lot of hair off on Tuesday.

It is hard to tell, but in the pics above but my hair was down to the bottom of my bra....now just below my collarbone.

While the length makes me a little nervous, I know it will grow back.

It feels so much lighter and fun for summer though :)

And that is it for the month of May!

Friday Favorites | T-Ball & Friends

TGIF!

I came across this on Pinterest and it couldn't be more true.

Definitely a favorite :)

Has anyone ever deleted you as a "friend" on Facebook?

It has happened to me, and it is a really weird feeling when you notice it.

Not gonna lie, I don't delete anyone. Ever.

I mean, that is why there is a "hide" option right?

To delete someone on your "friends" list on Facebook, you have to actually confirm you want to unfriend them.

I was never terribly close with this particular person, so it doesn't bother me in that way.

I am just one of those people who always wants to know the "why".

I know they don't read this blog so they will never know I am writing this, but gosh darn it I want to know why?!?!

Moving on....

We had T-ball pictures on Thursday night, so it was time to literally throw on my coach's hat :)

When you are having a good hair day, you document it right?

And this shade of blue is quickly becoming a favorite of mine :)

Friday night was chilly, but it wasn't raining so we made the most of it with a friendly game of basketball on the deck.

 My favorite player is quickly changing from David Robinson ;)

 On Saturday, X and I headed north to visit some of my very favorite people!

We enjoyed lunch at Cracker Barrel with my mom, before heading back to her house to play for a bit.

 My step dad really wanted to get some ice cream despite the fact that it was literally snowing!

Yes, I did say snowing on May 14th :(

Grr!

 X and I enjoyed our very favorite - Superman!

Then we headed over to my dad's house for dinner and to spend the night.

We had X's favorite - pizza, and I enjoyed one of my new favorite drinks!

X did not nap on Saturday, nor did we go to bed very early (11pm) so we stopped at one of my favorite spots for a caffeine fix for mommy ;)

 Monday night was our first T-ball game of the season and we were pumped!

My favorite player on the team :)

 How did I manage to grab a pic with nobody looking but X?

#igotskillz #notreally #justgowithit

Tuesday night X came home and ASKED to play a learning a game!

Absolutely!

We grabbed a snack and headed into the only warm room of our house to play with with one of his preschool books.

Not so favorite of the week - that the only room of our house that is slightly warm is our bedroom.

Ohio and Mother Nature have not quite figured out that we are half way through May and Spring already!

Near freezing temps at night, highs barely hitting 50*, and snow!

We turned all the base boards off for the year and have not brought in anymore wood to heat the house.
Summer needs to get here soon!

Or at least temps consistently in the 60's would be nice :)

We had another game on Wednesday night, but Mic had to golf so there was no time to take any pics while I was coaching.

Despite it being pretty chilly, we had a great time!

And I even let X play on the playground after his game with one of his best friends from school :)

Thursday I woke up feeling slightly refreshed (maybe I actually got a good night's sleep - who knows!), so I went with it and had a Advocare meal replacement shake for breakfast.

Liquid breakfast is not my favorite normally, but this hit the spot.

And swimsuit season will be here at some point right?!?!

Tonight (Thursday) we are headed to my favorite little guy's school for his Spring Program.

I can't wait to hear him sing and perform with his little friends.

I feel a little bad for him because most of the friends he talks about every day are graduating on to Kindergarten tonight.

But I have a feeling my social butterfly won't have a problem making some new friends next year :)

This weekend we have the official Opening Day ceremony for baseball, another game, and then we are off to Lake Michigan for the Kite Festival with my dad and step mom.

Praying that the weather is wonderful, yet slightly windy so it will be a great show for X :)

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Linking up with Andrea, Narci, & Erika
