Weekend Update

Again I know it is a little late but better late than never right?!?!

Over the weekend I took a much needed mini-vacation. I left work a little early and headed up to the Alexandria area (just outside of DC) to visit my friend Humaira. She is Izabel's godmother and she moved back home last year. We haven't gotten to see her much so it was so exciting to get up there and even more exciting to just be me for a weekend (Not a wife and not a mommy).

Friday evening we headed out to dinner at Chili's. We planned on going out afterwards but after dinner a couple drinks we were pretty tired so we headed home and watched a movie. Saturday we headed to Spa World. They have a bunch of different sauna rooms, a pool with different seats, a restaurant, a juice bar and then a bunch of services. We got the body scrub, facial with honey and mud packs and then a deep-tissue massage. We were there for about 4 hours but we really could have spent all day! We had a really nice relaxing morning.

After the spa we headed to Humaira's parents house for a Mia Bella Candle and Tastefully Simple party. There was a ton of great food and a bunch of products on sale so it was great. On the way home we stopped for pedicures since we didn't have time for them at the spa. Back at Humaira's house we opened a few bottles of wine and sat around talking until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.

Sunday morning we slept in pretty late which was wonderful. Then we headed to Bob Evans with Humaira's mom and stepmom for brunch. As soon as we got done I hit the road to come home. It was a pretty easy drive and I didn't hit a lot of traffic so it was fine. Noah had just gotten home so we loaded up and headed over to Auntie's house for dinner with her, Gigi and Theresa. We had a good time hanging out and we had a great dinner. After we got home and put the kids to bed I went to work on all the homework I had missed over the weekend. I was pretty tired Monday morning but it was worth it for a wonderful weekend!!!

P.S. Noah had a nice weekend with the kids and everyone was fine when I got home!

*No pictures from my weekend....we were too busy having too much fun!

Wacky Wednesday

On Wednesday nights at the Princess Anne library they have Wacky Wednesdays. It's a program for toddler-preschool age children. They read stories, sing songs, play with the parachute and have a great time! We loved it and we will definitely be going back!

Yay!

Watching the parachute

I think this was her favorite part

The Jungle Gym

I know I'm a little behind again! We're so busy that I would need to blog everyday to keep up, but I'm too busy to do that!!! Here are a couple updates. Enjoy :)

Last Sunday (9/13) we met Rebecca, RJ and Rylee at The Jungle Gym out by Lynnhaven mall. We were brave and didn't have any help with us so the kids didn't do that much jumping but they were excited to see each other. It was nice to catch up for a little bit. Now that I am back to work Rebecca and I work opposite schedules so it's hard to find time to hang out. Of course now that our husbands have football to watch on Sundays we might see each other a little more often ;)

She looks like such a big girl!

5 Month Pics!

Today I was brave enough to take both kids by myself to try to do Tanner's pictures. I was afraid if I waited any longer it would be time for the 6 month ones! Since we have some exciting picture months ahead of us we just got a couple cute tubby shots! Enjoy!

Up-to-Date....Hooray!!!

In the past couple days I have managed to get the blog up-to-date and hopefully I will be able to keep up now! Make sure you scroll down to see all the posts of recent events! Hope everyone is doing well :)

ODU Football Game # 2!

Last night Noah and I went to the second ODU football game. This time my mom stayed home with the kids and we went with my Dad, Noah's Aunt and Grandmother. We stopped by the Bud tent on the way in for a little tailgating! We had a great time with some food and a couple beers! It's a great way to start off the game! ODU was playing Virginia Union and they started off and stayed strong. ODU won 49-17 and we had a great time! Then we stopped by the bookstore on the way back to the car for some ODU spirit items for the kids! I'll be doing ODU themed pictures soon and I can't wait :) GO MONARCHS!

Noah and Wanger...don't they make a cute couple??

GO ODU! Still undefeated!

Boardwalk Walk!

We met the playgroup down at the beach Wednesday afternoon for a walk and to play at the park. It was really nice in town but when we got down to the beach is was windy, chilly and starting to sprinkle! We walked a little ways and pushing the double stroller against the wind was quite a workout! Then we stopped at one of the parks on the beach and let the kids play. Izabel was so funny. She's been to the beach before but she wasn't too sure about walking in the sand. She wanted to walk over to the playground very badly but she kept turning around wanting me to hold her hand! We played for just a minute and then it started to sprinkle so we got back in the stroller and headed back to the car. It was nice to get to talk to the other moms even though it was only for a little while. We are really starting to like this group!

Not too sure about the sand!

Giving it a shot, about a second later she reached for my hand
