friday favorites {instagram}

Do you use Instagram? I use it on my iPhone ALL. THE. Stinkin. TIME. I swear it makes any regular picture look fantastic. Here is a recap in instagram pics of the past few weeks. 



Our church meets in the evening on Sundays, so we usually spend the morning running errands as a family. I am always super insecure about people thinking we don't go to church. Not so much because I feel judged as much as I want people know it's important to me and a huge part of our lives. But I also don't want to get them dressed for church that early either because they might get dirty. I decided it's not worth worrying about what other people think. So here's to me letting go of what others think and letting them wear whatever they wanted to run to Lowe's last Sunday.
 
My sweet boy and I at the zoo



Meadow loves the merry-go-round and was especially excited that she got to ride on the dog.


Crazy and creative Saige looking beautiful no matter what she's wearing.


Super Reed and the mask I made quickly for his halloween costume. I was inspired by a friend who made them for her entire family. Hers looked a lot better. But as Patrick reminded me when I asked if I should start over - "It's going to just end up on the ground in the closet." I love that practical man of mine.

This one is for you, Mama Sharp! Meadow was super excited to open and find the cowgirl hat you sent for her birthday. She looks pretty cute, huh? 


 
And lastly, I want to tell you about my friend Blossom. She is amazing with the knitting needles and I mentioned this scarf to her after seeing it on pinterest.  Well, she made me this scarf and hat and put them in my mailbox this past week and totally surprised me. She rocks. If you're interested in purchasing one, let me know and I will get you her contact info. She has an etsy shop, Curly Giraffe, but right now she is just taking orders for the scarves so she can get specifics and not end up making ones that people don't want. Anyways, they're priced very reasonably as well and I think you would look fabulous in one!

In keeping with Wimberly tradition, we are off to the zoo again for miss Meadow's birthday WEEK.
 Happy Friday!

Dear Meadow,

 

Dearest Meadow,
You are four years old and your Daddy and I can hardly believe it! Everyone keeps telling me that kids grow fast and this year I am definitely beginning to believe it. 
You are so special and I am still trying to figure you out. :) You are a lot like your Daddy (and I can't figure him out either). It has been fun watching him defend you in situations where I think you are just being ornery. He gets you, he understands you, and when that happens I just laugh and thank God that your Daddy understands why you do the things you do. You are kind and generous. You are quick to help out. And you just love life - taking it all in stride. You love your family, you love to snuggle (especially with Momma) and are content to just be with us. But you also adapt well in new situations and make friends very easily. You love to laugh and make other people laugh, especially your brother (I think Reed is one of your biggest fans and one day you'll appreciate that). You are mischievous curious, and you are sincerely funny. Once again, you get that from your Daddy. You love real animals, stuffed animals, bugs, lizards, oh and shiny things. Girl, you love things that sparkle and shine. You love to put on my grandmothers sparkly necklaces and earrings, and you look so darling doing it. You also love the color green, pretty much any fruit or vegetable and you love to wear dresses. You are so special and so unique, Meadow Rae. Your Daddy and I love you to the moon and back and our hearts are full to the brim with gratefulness for God entrusting you in our care. We are looking forward to seeing you learn and grow this year, baby girl. We love you!

what was i thinking?

Since I knew I would be making cupcakes for Saige's party on Saturday, I took a short-cut and bought her some cupcakes from the grocery store for her birthday dinner on Friday (I'm sure this lady would have had something to say about that, but whatev). Saige always wants me to buy the brightly colored ones and, of course, I always say no because who knows how many chemicals are in those things to get them that bright. 

But I gave in. And honestly, I am not exactly sure what I was thinking . . . 


Saige did great with them, because well, that's Saige — clean and orderly.



And then there's Meadow — she has always ENJOYED being messy. Hence, here nickname as a baby, Messy Meadow. She is a calculated messy person though. She does it in a way to be funny, getting just enough around her face to make you laugh.




 And then, of course, Reed takes messy to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL.







It took forever to get the blue off of his body. I can assure you, I will never be buying those again!


Happy Monday, y'all!

the new camera rocks


We are back from the beach. It was a fun, fast trip and as always we enjoyed hanging out with our friends, Liz and Brandon. Since we got home on Sunday, life has been non stop. Doctors visits, mommy group, birthday parties for a certain 3 year old and then planning a party for a certain first-born-daughter of mine. Saige will be 5 TOMORROW. Oh, y'all, I can hardly believe it. But more on that later.

I also enjoyed messing around with my new camera at the beach and getting reacquainted with Photoshop once I got home. These are some of my favorite shots from the weekend. 
Enjoy!



















I love, love, love this final shot of my three crazies just as the sun was setting. 
Glorious weekend!
