May 14th (Mother's Day-Lamar's Donuts/Dutch Bro's/Parade of Homes/Austin's For Lunch/New Cooler)

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!

Slept in a little bit and woke up to Lamar's Donuts and Dutch Bros'!

Thanks honey!!

Mayva with her head hanging over the step edge! Lol.

I wanted to go to the Parade of Homes for Mother's Day.

We hit up a couple nearby then went to lunch at Austin's!!

Ceiling ideas.

Banister idea.

We liked the flooring.

Maybe do a window like this with wood around it for an accent.

We all are getting hungry time to eat!

Look at this awesome pretzel!

And we had to get our favorite chicken tenders, western fries and friend pickles. We usually have a good experience here, but the fries didn't have the normal parmesan toppings and the tenders didn't have a lot of sauce! Kind of disappointed!

After lunch more houses to look at.

Glitter tile...love.

Ella might be the doctor and Adelyn the patient! Oh geez.

I found them.

This shower/tub area was big enough for us all to fit in!

I like this for our hopefully soon to be walk in mud room closet.

Look at this crazy basement!

We had a fun time looking at houses. Adelyn complained some which I wasn't thrilled about, but it was nice being together all day!!

I got this cute sticker with my drink this morning, just for mothers day! Love it!

I picked this cooler out at Walmart for my gift this year. I have wanted my own for when I go to friends or to hold our lunches if we go to the beach or picnic.

It was a great mother's day for me!

We ended the night with steak dinner at home!

May 13th (Video Game/Cleaning Pool/Sake For Mother's Day with my family)

Adelyn playing her video game, Little Nightmares. Ella loves to watch her play!

Nick trying to clean our yucky, cloudy pool. Our pump kept turning off at night so it wasn't clearing up. And we have phosphates so we need to get rid of those.

Well Nick ended up having a bad headache again so he didn't make it to dinner at Sake unfortunately!!The girls and I went to meet my parents and brother.

My brother went in on gifts with me. I got her a cool pineapple bag, pineapple cup, pineapple Scentsy warmer, with scents, some new earrings, and a gift card to JcPenney.

We ordered lots of sushi!

We ordered Kani Salad, Gyoza's, Calamari and 4 rolls for me and the girls.

Pretty Ella with a flower in her hair.

Great food and chatting!

We brought Nick back some food.

Adelyn wanted to take a picture to send to her friends of her new dress.

May 12th (Family Night @ The Mall)

Tonight we headed up to the mall to buy Adelyn a dress for the 8th grade dance! Nick and Ella walked around while Adelyn and I went into Francesca's and found one right away! Score! We ate some dinner and walked around a little bit! So many memories at the mall from when I was young! Too bad it is just not the same. As we were leaving there was a beautiful sunset!!
