Thankful Tuesday {Inspired By A Lunchable}

At this very moment I am sitting in bed, my baby boy {er .. toddler?} laying in my lap & eating a Lunchables Extra Cheesy Pizza.

I know.

You're all thinking, "Shouldn't your toddler be the Lunchable eater of the family?"

Sadly, or not-so-sadly, I never outgrew my 'kiddie meal' phase & my Lunchable addiction actually worsened during my pregnancy with Oliver.

I can remember, back when I was a career lady, working the lovely 12-8 AM shift & snagging a couple Cheese Pizza Lunchables for my 5 AM break!

... Crazy Pregnant Girl!

{we used to joke that i digested so much pizza sauce while pregnant oliver's hair would be stained red.. & what do you know, i gave birth to a gorgeous red-headed-babe}

But, Seriously. 

Eating this Lunchable with my little sweetie sleeping away on me, along with wonderful memories from our sweet summer day {today} made me all mushy gushy inside. 

I am so thankful for my energetic, sweet, loving, ornery, hilarious baby boy. 

I am also thankful for the chance to play in the hose with him, take naps in the grass with him, take him on wagon rides & show him off to all the ladies at my grandmothers favorite Farmers Market.

Oh, I am also, ALSO thankful I will get to, someday, introduce my happy boy to Extra Cheesy Pizza Lunchables.

also, Also, ALSO .. I am incredibly thankful for photography {and that I am Mommarazzi Master} because one day, when my baby is all grown up, I'll have a zillion photographs of him to show his own children.

A Walter Family Update

I would like to start this, rant-y, post off with a big Thank You.

In a former post, I asked you kind readers for prayers as we had just made an offer on a gorgeous townhome.

Today we got the exciting call we had been approved and were to move in Tuesday, June 25, Oliver 1st Birthday!! Woohoo!!


Ready?!


No longer than an hour later Camron's boss called him saying NOT to sign our lease as Camron is being transferred soon.

I know, right.


We have been waiting for a call like that for sometime now & just when we accepted the idea of staying in Kansas just a little longer & finding our dream rental, the call comes.



I am very, very proud of my husband. He has worked his butt off for this promotion, and although it is not official today, it will be soon. I am so lucky to have this wonderful man in my life.


With that being said, I feel like I'm living in limbo & I am awfully sad about our pretty, pretty townhome.


I am very excited and even more anxious to see what this next month holds for our little Walter Family.

Our {at home} Reception

As most of you know, my wedding day turned out less than what my perfectionist mind had planned for it. Not that it wasn't a dream come true, because it certainty was, but because my parents were not able to share the excitement with me.


Last night most definitely made up for anything my wedding day lacked.


My parents threw us a quaint, intimate reception & invited our closest family & closest family friends who, also, could not celebrate our big day with us.

We drank wine, ate scrumptious wedding cake & toasted Camron & I, wishing us many years of love & joy together.

It was truly beautiful & so filled with love.

Friday {Instagram Fam}

Our TGIF pretty much consisted of eating orange Popsicle's, on the front porch, in the hot, hot sun!

{About} Feeling Spoiled

I'll admit it.

I'm spoiled.


No, really, I am.


Each morning a loving, ornery little boy is the first thing my sleepy eyes set sight on. Usually, this ornery little boy is straddling me, grinning from ear to ear & screaming 'MAMAMAMA' at the top of his lungs.

See, I told ya, spoiled!

Still don't think so?!


Well, after we drop a couple waffles into the toaster, smear them with butter & tons of organic strawberry jam & share them {yes, me and that loving little boy I was mentioning up above}, we usually have the privilege of going out for coffee.

Our coffee runs may not be fancy, heck, we usually end up at the drive-thru window at Micky D's, but they sure are fun!

The park, almost everyday, follows our coffee run.

We walk & run & play & sit & cuddle & swing & slide until our bodies can't walk & run & play & sit & cuddle & swing & slide anymore!

Or at least until our bellies start grumping at us, then we eat!


I could go on & on explaining the rest of our 'typical' day to you.

I could mention how hard my husband works everyday so I can be a spoiled stay-at-home-mom.

I could {and will} end by saying I get to watch this sweet, perfect little angel God blessed me with doze of into a happy slumber, in my arms, each and every night.

I get to fall asleep, cuddling, next to my dream guy & my dream baby each and every night.


I bet you think I'm spoiled now, huh?

Disclaimer :: This blog post was not intended to make you, lovely readers, think I am, in fact, a spoiled brat. Because I'm not, I swear. I am, however, spoiled with a lot of love! {that was the whole point of this post!!}

{Our} Tuesday

Our Tuesday was spent together.

As a family.


We first went out to look for a new place of residence in a small, nearby town. And I think we found one!! We put an offer down on a townhome & we are supposed to hear back within a week.

We could use some positive prayers!!



The rest of our Tuesday was spent eating ice cream, taking walks, dancing by ponds, basking in the hot Kansas sun & just loving endlessly on each other.

making wishes

dancing by the pond

oh, the jokes he tells!

Play Hard, Crash Harder!

I wish for life to always be this sweet, to always be this full of love.
