Weekend Recap

We had fun & full weekend here at the Smith house! Derek actually had Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off this weekend, and it was the first time we were able to spend a whole day together--much less three whole days!--since the three of us got back home. So we really enjoyed ourselves!

--We started our weekend off with a trip to Bop's {a local frozen custard place} on Thursday evening...and I'm pretty sure Shelby enjoyed it just as much as we did! ;)


--Friday was a lazy day at home, and then we headed over to our neighbors' house for a promotion party that evening. We had a wonderful evening eating yummy food & spending time with friends! And in honor of the party, Shelby sported a barrette in her hair for the first time ever...it was a big moment! :)
Shelby has never been to a "party" where there were a bunch of people, loud voices, etc. so weren't really sure how she would handle it...especially since we're still at the age where new faces make her a little nervous and unexpected loud noises leave her trembling. But we quickly learned that our baby girl is a PARTY ANIMAL! She was l.o.v.i.n.g. all of the attention! When we were getting ready to head home and were making our rounds to say goodbye to everyone, she was waving at every single person at the party. It was the cutest thing!
--Saturday morning, we headed to Lowe's to pick up some new flowers and a few other things for our yard. After being gone for a month, our flower beds & yard were in serious need of some TLC. So after we got home from Lowe's and put Miss Shelby down for a nap, we braved the one-hundred-something-degree-heat index-and-insane-humidty and worked in the yard.
--We rewarded ourselves for all of our hard work by taking a trip to Target and going out to eat Saturday night. :)
--Sunday brought a trip to the commissary, a little photo shoot {in the hopes of getting a suitable photo for someone's birthday party invitation! :)}, grilling out for dinner, and making yummy homemade chocolate chip cookie dough for dessert! Yep, that's right...we didn't bake any cookies, just ate the delicious dough! Ha!

It was a wonderful family weekend for us! Hope you had a great weekend, too! :)
