I love when my hubby takes a day off work to spend family day!...I so look forward to them!...he took off yesterday since he worked Monday instead and we had the best day! We went to the park in the morning because Joshua wanted to "go kick soccer ball"...it's his new favorite thing, we go play on the field almost every morning...we bought him a soccer ball the other day he loved playing so much.
Then we went to lunch at Wendy's...Joshua's loves him some cheeseburger and fries! We're a chick-fil-a fam but every once in a while we head here, he loves it!
Then we headed home for nap time and when Joshua woke up we headed over to TCBY for from frozen yogurt! Joshua asked for "nilla ice cream" and "sprinkles please"! He scrarfed it down! Mommy and daddy got the banana fosters fro-yo (with peanut butter cup topping that is) and man was it yummy!
Then we headed over to Joshua's favorite place and daily request these days, Fernbank! He loved showing daddy the exhibits and running through the playroom with daddy chasing him! He never slowed down for one second until we left at 5 when they closed!
Days like this remind me just how blessed I am to have these two guys in my life! They are my heart...we just had the most wonderful day yesterday! I love that the hubs does this with us as often as he can, I treasure these days!

Things I Love Thursday.
Things I love This Week!
*I love that I got two dinner dates this week; my hubby took me to Wahoo Grill in Decatur for Valentine's dinner, it was amazing to have a romantic candlelit dinner, just us time and enjoy delicious seafood...and i love that i also had a girl's dinner last night with two of my best girlfriends; we went to Noche for some tapas and girl talk...we do girl's dinner once or twice a month and it is just so wonderful!
*I love that the hubby and I are going cosmic bowling this weekend, and that my mom begged to come sit so we could go out..we haven't been in forever and I'm excited to kick his butt!
*I love the half spicey chicken ceasar salad from wendys, it's the perfect little size and oh so yummy!
*I love that we're getting our backyard all cleaned up working on our deck this weekend, i'm so anxious for warm weather and to be out there all the time!
*I love my little man's new haircut, I had it cut shorter and he looks sooo cute!...and I love Pigtails and Crewcuts, they always do the best job!
*I love Boudreaux's maximum strength butt paste (yes, a total mommy comment) but Joshua got the WORST diaper rash from his antibiotic this week and it cleared it up like overnight!
*I love that we're going to see the IMAX today at Fernbank...we've already been twice...little man loves it so much I have to limit it to once a week!

Ready For, Spring Decor!
I am just not a cold weather gal..and especially if it's not going to snow! I'm over this cold already..I am sooo ready for cookouts, playing on our swingset, lounging on the deck, and hanging ferns, flowers and lanterns! I am so anxious to decorate our deck...we took out the hot tub on the lower tier our deck just because we maybe used it 3 times in 3 years...it was here when we moved in and we just didn't use it ever and it just took up the entire lower space...and now with a toddler running around we figured we would make such better use out of it for him to hang/play on...so we took it out and the hubby and FIL filled it in with wood and stained it...now i'm so ready to buy a lounge set for that part of the deck...i am all about hot red/orange right now i love this one i found! I just know I want something bold and fun!
I cannot wait to wrap my deck in twinkling lights, pop some food on the grill, and just lounge outside! I have missed it! I will not miss you cold weather, now please hurry up Spring!
Have you found any fun outdoor Spring decor!?
And i love these hanging lanterns from Pottery Barn, definitely going to be getting these to hang from our trellis!
And of course I always turn to my favorite little place every year in the Spring, Big Lots...I always get my outdoor lights here, and they have the best little patio finds for so cheap!
And Pier One looks like they are going to have some great stuff this Spring...i love all their bright colors and serving stuff they are previewing, can't wait to shop for some!
Have you found any fun outdoor Spring decor!?

OUR LOVE Story...Link-Up
Thought this would be fun with Valentine's Day approaching!
1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
We've been together for 11 years, WOW. more than a decade, i haven't thought about that until now!
2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
We met in high school, he was my high school sweetheart. Yes, we met at computer camp the summer before freshman year, haha...It's a funny story..my mom saw him get out of the car when his mom dropped him off and said to me "honey, look at that cute boy you have to go talk to him"...he had the blonde hair (which is my total type) and my mom said honey he's so your type go get him haha...I was way too shy to talk to him then and found out he had a girlfriend at the time, but he remembered me haha and we started dating late sophmore year..never were apart after that, and the rest is history!
3. If married, how long have you been married? If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}
We've been married 3 years, it will be 4 years in May!
4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding? If not, where would you like to get married? And will it be big or small?
We got married here in Atlanta...It was a decent sized wedding, about 250 of our closest family and friends..we kept it as intimate as we could...Our reception was at the Trolley Barn at Inman Park and oh was it the perfect place, so much fun! It is such an amazing memory I'll always treasure that night!
5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!
No nothing special...just love and hun!
6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
*He shows me every single day how much he loves me...makes me feel like one special lady ;)
*He loves our son more than anything in the world, and I couldn't have hand picked a more amazing father to my child.
*He is truly the sweetest man I've ever met in my life...people tell me all the time, it makes me smile...you can't help but love him.
7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal proposal?
He proposed at our most favorite restaurant ever. We went for dinner and I truly had no idea anything was up other than he kept looking around which I thought was weird...I ordered my usual dumplings appetizer and soon thereafter the he waiter brought out my dumplings and when I opened the top of the canister it was not dumplings but instead a ring box, I gasped and he dropped to one knee and asked me to marry him and of course I said "YES!"
8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?
He's pretty creative, I love the sweet cards and champagne..but he surprises me with something sweet every year.
9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
Definitely a pop in a movie and relax on the couch kind of girl, haha now that I'm a mommy that is. We used to go out all the time for romantic dinners during the week...but these days it's a redbox, cook a yummy dinner and wine kind of night most of the time!
10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
Two places I want to go with my man...Figi and Italy, I've always wanted to go...I have a really hard time leaving my little man but one day when our kids are a little older I'd love to go and just have us time!
11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.
This Valentine's Day, like he always does, the hubby is surprising me with dinner and a date!
12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day?
No...Valentine's to me is just being with the one's i love, my sweet boys...but he always seems to sneak something even though i tell him not to.
13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
Honesty, never go to bed angry, and remember the little hugs and kisses all the time! Whoops, that's three.
14. Show us a picture of what love means to you.

A New Obsession.
Fernbank Museum has become a new obsession...after I bought the membership last week we have been every day since! We usually go either in the morning when it isn't sunny until lunch, or after Gymboree in the afternoon and usually stay until it closes at 5...He absolutely loves the huge Naturequest kids room, he will play in there for hours and go nonstop! And to my surprise he is obsessed with the IMAX!...I wanted to try it out with him and was fully prepared for him to lose attention very quickly and just leave mid-way..but he sat through the entire movie laughing and yelling out all the animals names it was so fun watching his face! We are headed over there this afternoon..he asked me this morning "mama, I wanna see monkeys" and so back to Fernbank we go this afternoon for some play and IMAX!...We have a new favorite place and we love it!
