Weekend Wrap Up {4th of July}

Is the weekend really over already? What is the saying? Time flies when you are having fun, this was definitely the case for us this weekend. Let's jump right on in...

Thursday:

Zach got off a couple of hours early so we headed up to Haleyville, AL right after I got off of work. I have started to really like this drive, it is about 2.5 hrs away and gives Z and I just enough time to get caught up but not long enough that the drive becomes a chore. I loathe to drive, but with my family living 4+ hours away and Big Z's living 2.5 hrs away I am constantly driving or riding to see family.

While I hate driving, my sweet Aubs LOVES to ride in cars. LOVES IT! We cannot open the door while Aubs is outside without him jumping in.

Once we arrived at Z's parent's house we found his mom and dad outside by their pool enjoying the unusually comfortable temps. We, of course, joined in and spent the remainder of the evening outside. D & R (Z's mom and dad) have the perfect outdoor setup that provides for great evenings and mornings relaxing and enjoying nature. We love sitting outside and chatting with D & R and Aubie loves running around chasing all their birds that visit their numerous bird houses, so everyone is happy. 

Friday: July 4th!!

Big Z and I both slept in until 8:30, which is extremely unusual considering when we are at home we are up no later than 7. We both grabbed a cup of coffee and ventured outside to enjoy the weather.

Z's brother and sister in law came over that morning to spend the day by the pool and grill out. They have a little baby girl, Myleigh, who turned one in April and is as cute as she can be! She just started walking, or should I say RUNNING, so we all spent the day trying to keep up with her.

We spent the day laying by the pool, watching Big Z and his brother do tricks off the diving board, grilling out, and laying out some more. It was a pretty perfect Friday if you ask me.

Haleyville, is a very small town, and this year they decided to not put on a fireworks show so we didn't see a single firework but we did hear a few :)

Saturday:

Saturday was a lot of the same as Friday, laying by the pool, good conversation, lots of fun. I did manage to show off some of my diving board tricks from my childhood (what is it about a diving board that turns us all into kids). Z & I even gave each other scores (please tell me y'all did this growing up!?).

Zach and I started our trek back to "the Gump" around 5. Not a lot went on on Saturday but none the less it was another great day.

 Life is rough being a dog ;)

 Happy Happy Happy Aubie laying by the pool (in the shade to stay cool)

My sweet Aubs definitely enjoyed his weekend at his grandparents house. I don't think he moved from this position the whole way home

Sunday:

Big Z and I came back home early so that we could work our Nursery duty at church Sunday morning. I love getting to help out at our church nursery, it is our small way of giving back and also getting in my baby fix for the month ;). 

Z has been wanting a new sprinkler for our yard so after church we headed to Lowe's to pick a new one. We oogled over some new grills and patio furniture but we (luckily) made it out with just the new fancy sprinkler.

Sunday evening we ran by one of Z's coworker's house to meet his new baby, drop off their gift and some pizza so that they could enjoy the night off of cooking.

Y'all... if this doesn't give me baby fever, nothing will ;)

Another amazing weekend with my sweet, funny, goofy husband in the books. Can we have a 3 day weekend every weekend!? 

What all fun things did you guys do over your long weekend? 

Until next time!
