july 2012

Last weekend my mom went with us to visit family in Mississippi and had a super duper fun time.  
As usual, I should have taken more pictures.  
(excuse me while I blame shift this!)
It was just too hot to take pictures and had nothing to do with the fact that I was too focused on good conversation and cute shoes in the windows of Oxford's stores.    

We met my Uncle Bill, Aunt Jo, and Aunt Nancy then went to see Loren and Brandon's sweet baby and their first home in Water Valley.  

Best mom ever, Aunt Jo, Hadley
Hadley Elizabeth
Hubby and Hadley
And again
Aunt Jo, Hadley, Aunt Nancy, myself

Uncle Bill
Hadley's light fixture.  Isn't it neat-o?
Loren's creative sign she made.  Also neat-o!
We had lunch in Oxford at Old Venice Pizza then did a little shopping.  It was Oxford's birthday so there were fun little sidewalk sales in front of some stores.  Oxford is just beautiful!

The Square in Oxford









She's so pretty.  I have the best momma ever.
Hubby was able to see the Ole Miss campus for the first time.  He really enjoyed it!
The Lyceum
Walk of Champions
Then we went to my grandmother's house in Dumas for a magnificent dinner and a little quality time with my cousin Jonathan who is leaving to go live overseas with his family in a couple of months.
Lots of special memories made!  
I always have the best time when we visit!  My aunts are so funny and in their different ways, much like my mom.  I usually spend a lot of time laughing, which is alright by me.  Mostly though, I enjoy spending time with my mom and seeing her so happy around her family.  

Back here in Alabama...
I made turkey/tomato/arugula/avacado/cream cheese whole wheat wraps.  They were yummy and easy.  As a side I made sweet potato chips.  They were yummy and not so easy.  
Note to self:  buy a slicer!
Hubs had pretty pink roses waiting on me when I walked in from the office Monday.  I may have said this a time or two before, but I'm absolutely in love with that sweet man of mine!
We spent July 4th at our pool soaking in the sun and chatting with each other.  It was SO relaxing!  
We ordered a pizza after and crashed!  
Polly loves watching tv and surfing the web.  She's a nut!
My mom and I did a little shopping this week...
(isn't she pretty!)
and she got her ears pierced!  I just got mine done last November and since then she has talked about wanting to get hers done.  Go mom!
Now, it's FRIDAY!  
If you're looking for a little adult beverage to sip on your porch later...  
The Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan is sold in stores here and his made in Kiln, MS.  No, I don't like it just because it's from MS.  It truly is delicious with a hint of pecan!
Abita Strawberry is new this year and is divine.  Not sweet.  Not sour.  Simply divine!  

Wowza.
This was a long post.  
We're off to the lake tomorrow with family.  Hopefully I'll take some pictures as proof!

  Have a faaantastic weekend!
