Lately

I have been slacking BIG time here on the blog lately, but I am hoping that will change.
The Easons have been pretty busy over the last two weeks so I have lots to catch everyone up on. Disclaimer- this will be a long post :)
Two weekends ago I went to Lebanon for one of my high school friends baby shower (don't even get me started on the fact that I am old enough to have close HS friends that are having babies- slow down time!) I love little get togethers like this. Since I live in Alabama I don't get to come home often and I miss catching up with old friends. The hostesses did such a great job putting this together!

Such a cute idea!

 Pick the due date!

This is Heather (the mom to be) we played HS basketball together. I can't wait to meet her sweet girl. She is due at the beginning of September, but I am hoping sweet Chasity makes an early debut while I am in TN in the middle of August. I am so happy that Heather let me celebrate this special time with her!

While at home I was able to spend some quality time with my family. We had a family dinner at one of my favorite Lebanon restaurants, Gondola! They have the best pizza and salad bar around!

My sweet Grandma Fay and Keegybop

Sunday, Quinn Thomas and I took my grandmother to Cracker Barrel before heading back home. My grandma loves Cracker Barrel and loves to hand out little "goodies" to all the waitress and hostesses. It is so sweet to watch her ball the fruit snack or m&m's in her hand and sneak them to the waitresses like no one can see her.

Y'all... I can't get enough of this sweet face. & that HAIR!!

Quinny loved the toys section of Cracker Barrel (but who doesn't!?)

Last week Z's office had a MASSIVE inspection at their office. They have been preparing for this 2 day inspection for close to 6 months. Thankfully they did AWESOME so we decided a mini-vacay to Atlanta was much needed.

Heading to ATL

We got in town just in time to get a quick bite for dinner and head to the stadium in time for the Friday evening Braves games vs. the Phillies.

We got caught in the rain and we soaked! 

Months ago when we started to plan this trip we decided we would go to a water park on Saturday, the weather had a different plan for us. It rained ALL day so we decided to we would try out TopGolf. TopGolf had a 2.5 hour long wait so we had to change our plans again. We ended up going to grab a bite to eat and then going bowling (one of Z's favorites).
We stopped at the Salt Factory to eat and it was AMAZING! The inside of the restaurant had a very industrial feel with exposed brick and ceilings. It was definitely someplace I wish they had in Montgomery, I could so see myself meeting up with some of my girl friends and having lunch here. I had a salad since I knew we would be eating pretty heavy for dinner and Z had a pizza. The salad was great but the pizza was (as my grandmother says) something to write home about. Of course I didn't take pictures of the inside of the restaurant or the pizza (blogger fail!) so you will just have to take my word for it.

Outside of The Salt Factory is Roswell

After lunch we heading to the MAIN EVENT entertainment. I was under the impression we would be heading to a run of the mill bowling alley, which this definitely was not. The whole inside was brand new with laser tag, bowling, pool tables, and a massive arcade. Needless to say, Z and I had a blast at the arcade, and when I say a blast I mean we played pretty much EVERY arcade game that would be acceptable for adults (we are both HUGE kids). Bowling was not quite as much fun as we had projected but there bowling alley was extremely high tech.

          Is this Thor or my husband?

While planning for this trip our first must was a brazilian steakhouse. If you haven't already notice, Zach and I are big foodies, we plan our whole lives around what we are eating next. Fogo de Chao in Atlanta is a favorite brazilian steakhouse of ours and it did not disappoint this time. You can never go wrong with lots of good food and great conversation. We left stuffed and happy, a prefect end to our great mini-vacay.

We had to make a stop at the Cupcake ATM after dinner, I mean can anyone really pass this up!?!

Now for the most exciting news! On our way home on Sunday Z received a text from his younger brother Dan with a picture attached. Z opened it up and it was a picture of sweet baby Myleigh (our 1 year old niece) standing next to a chalkboard with "I'm going to be a BIG sister" written on it! Z immediately called Dan to confirm that the picture what we thought it meant and it did, Dan and Haley are pregnant!!! We are so excited for their little family to expand. Congratulations Dan and Haley!!!
Check out this ADORABLE picture Haley posted on her facebook to announce the news.

How cute is she!?! I die for BIG bows :)

Next week I have some pretty big news to share so check back in!

Until next time,
