Welcome to the Good Life!

weekend recap

I thought this weekend was going to be really boring, but that could not be further from the truth!  Friday evening, I put William to bed and then took Henry to a movie in the park in our town.  We met up with our friends and had a great evening.  We stopped for ice cream first and had a good time at the park.  The movie started way later than I expected so Henry was really worn out, but I know he loved it.  We can't make any of the other movies this summer so I am extra glad we went this week. :)

Henry and I are working on our selfie skills ;)

After the movie, I put Henry to bed and my BIL and his mom showed up at our house to stay the night.  MAJOR news--my sister and her family are moving to town!!  Greg and his mom were going to start house shopping super early in the morning so they wanted to stay the night.  I was so happy to have them!  Saturday morning they were out of the house just when I was getting up with the boys.  Rob had a golf event so he was out of the house at 7. 

I was feeding the boys breakfast (see the cutest face ever below!!) when Rob's mom texted to see if she could watch the boys for awhile that morning.  This was PERFECT timing, as I wanted to go look at some houses.  The boys had a great time with their grandma and I didn't have to bug them going through the houses.

We did find the perfect house for them and their offer was accepted! I can't believe my sister is going to live only 10 minutes away from me!! I also can't believe she didn't even SEE the house she is going to live in! She really trusts us, doesn't she? :)

After we went house-hunting, I came back home to put the boys down for their naps.  I was going to work on cleaning the house, but I was honestly so tired I took a huge nap.  Everyone was asleep and the house was so quiet!

When Greg and his mom got back to the house, we decided to celebrate them finding the perfect house.  Greg went with Rob to the grocery to get some things to grill out while Pam and I worked on dessert and feeding the boys.  Some other friends came over and we had the best time!  Greg and Pam headed back to KY later that evening and I know they were on cloud 9 for getting the house!

Sunday early morning was a little bit rough, as William is teething and was having a bit of a hard time with it.  I was up with him and about an hour later Rob was as well.  He was still in a great mood when he woke up on Sunday.  We got ready for church and Sunday School, but after gauging his mood we left a few minutes into the service.  I'm glad we made it for Sunday School though!!

We drove around for a little bit and ran a few errands before heading home which allowed William to get a little bit of a nap before lunch.  While I was putting William down for his afternoon nap, Rob took the front off of William's crib.  I pretty much cried my eyes out the rest of the day!

After Henry's nap, I took him to the local pool to play for a little over an hour.  Rob stayed home with William and made us an amazing dinner.  After the boys had their bath and bedtime, Rob and I spent a lot of time cleaning and doing laundry.  As much as I hate this, our house looks so nice to start the week!  Hope you all had a great weekend too :)

peak performance week-june 2016!

If we are friends on FB or in real life, you know I am so obsessed with my gym!  I haven't had a super consistent workout routine in my life and Orangetheory is really proving to be such a great outlet for me.  I am so thankful for this!

This past week was called "Peak Performance Week" where we were each challenged to do our best in one event each day.  There's two different goals--to be the best in your age group at your studio, and to also improve yourself!  I am around the middle in fitness levels at my studio, but I definitely wanted to improve myself.  There was a practice week a month ago so I had a little bit of a goal to try to beat those times.  

This was seriously one of my very favorite weeks!  The energy was so contagious and I felt like every day was a day that I HAD to be there, which was awesome!  I had my highest splat point day, and then I was super close to beating my highest calories burnt in a workout too.

I have my times below that I want to keep for posterity's sake with one exception noted.  The farthest distance in 24 minutes was actually 15 minutes because I was in a 3 group that day.  My proudest piece was my mile time--9:07!  I THOUGHT I struggled to keep a 10 minute mile pace, but evidently my body can do more than I thought!  I am really so so proud of that time.  There were people at my studio that ran 5 minute miles, but honestly I am probably more proud of my time than they are! HA! :)

weekend recap

The theme these days seems to be "how much can we fit into our weekend"!!  Friday afternoon I got home from work a little earlier than normal and we took Henry to get a haircut.  This was a little bit of a hot mess (as haircuts for him always are!!), but a little bit better than normal.  He was getting a little bit of a mullet so it was much needed!  While we were out, we also got some groceries and some food for grilling.  My friend Paige and her two littles came over to join us.  Henry has a sprinkler that's shaped like a blow up octopus and they had a blast playing in it together.  I didn't take any pictures--just video because it was so hilarious.  I forsee a lot more time out together with the sprinkler though!

After dinner and our company left, I put the boys to bed and headed to the airport to pick up my friend, Mary Scott, from the airport.  I was so excited to see her and even though her flight was super delayed I was really happy to see her!  Saturday morning, Rob made us an awesome breakfast before we headed to Cincinnati for our friend's bachelorette party.  

Rob was an AMAZING husband and dad all weekend and kept the boys.  They had such a good time together and he sent me so many cute pictures like this one of William at his mom's house. :)

Sarah's bachelorette was really fun and we ended up having such better weather than we expected!  We started the day on a pedal wagon tour.  I spent some of the time catching up with Kali who is pregnant but was still totally a champion while we were out!

Another selfie of me, the bride-to-be, and Mary Scott :)

After the pedal wagon, we went to the Cincinnati Red's game.  The game had two rain delays, but we had amazing seats in The Handlebar Club where there was a huge spread buffet and open bar.  The club is air-conditioned and all of the seats are covered so we were totally fine.  This is definitely the way to watch a baseball game!! 

Sunday morning, Sarah had a bridal shower but we could only stay for an hour because Mary Scott had to catch her flight home from Columbus.  I dropped her off and headed home to see my family.  I was so excited to see them and just missed them so much.  We went to Rob's cousin's graduation party when the boys were up from their naps and had an awesome time.  Henry was SO impressed by a pond there that was stocked with fish.  We saw lots of kids catching fish and had a really good time watching from afar. ;)  I told him I thought his dad and grandpa could take him fishing next time! Ha!

When we came home it was time for dinner and bathtime.  I let the boys take a bath together for the first time ever.  I was a little nervous, but they seemed to love it.  I didn't put any water in the tub because I was so worried, but I might tonight if we try it again!  Also--all of the color on the tub is from Henry's markers that he uses in the tub (it looks so weird in this picture!)

After the boys were in bed, Rob and I did some cleaning and laundry (of course!!) before getting to bed way too late. Hope you all had a good weekend too!
