I started off the day by throwing together a breakfast casserole for our Sunday school class, from this recipe. When buying those pre-cooked sausage crumbles yesterday, I wasn’t thrilled that they cost about $1.50 more than a package of regular, raw sausage… But then when all I had to do this morning was dump it out of the bag, I decided it was money well spent, time well saved, and one less dirty dish!
…
Today was such a great day! We spent the whole day with just us three, and it was so nice. We didn’t have any specific plans, for the first time in a long time, so we got to just do our own thing, and we had such a great time! So since there are tons of photos, I’m going to just write a little bit… (whenever I say that I always write a ton, so we’ll see…)
We started with breakfast at Chick-fil-A. I had 2 free 4-count chicken minis in my app, so Emmie and I both had minis and Daddy had a chicken, egg & cheese bagel, and it was delicious. And it felt so great, which was good, because we had Pretzel and we sat outside.

Well, it appears this adorable mustard-colored romper will need to be retired soon, as it’s starting to get a bit too short for her. So today may be the last time she wears it. But it’ll get passed down to baby cousin Ellie Grace (FYI – each triplet has an assigned color – Kensley = pink, Riley = turquoise, Ellie = yellow), and it’ll be adorable on her too!
…
Today was our first morning at home this week without Daddy, while he’s out of town for his annual work conference. So I’m a single mom repeat from last year! (Click here for last year’s day 1, day 2, day 3 & day 4 of single mommin’.) Typically, he gets Emerson up & ready, while I’m getting myself dressed. So today, I had to do it all by myself. But she was really great and easy this morning. She hung out in our bed with Pretzel while I got ready…

This cutie little baby just looks so much like a tiny adult to me in this outfit for some reason. At home, I actually gave her the choice of either these shoes, or her new moccasins, and obviously she chose these new shoes that Grammy got her! And she was excited about them!
…
So we bought these cute, little glittery moccasins quite a while ago. They were the one & only pair at Ross, so even though they weren’t her size then, we went ahead and bought them because we loved them so much. Then we just had to wait until the day she finally grew into them, which ended up coming just in time for fall, which I think is the perfect season for moccasins. And of course, she loves shoes, and she loves these ones!
…
First photos of the day didn’t come until after church, when we all gathered at my parents’ house, for a big family lunch. Even Megan, Bo & the triplets made the journey out to the NE side of town, because today we had some special guests! My mom’s cousin Cheryl, and her husband David, were visiting in town. They were missionaries for many years in Senegal, Africa, and currently live in Kansas City, Kansas, and we haven’t seen them in a few years. So we had a great afternoon full of family time!

It’s our 6th anniversary today! I published a special post first thing this morning about our past anniversaries, so click here if you haven’t seen it yet. So since it’s our anniversary, we treated ourselves to a nice, super yummy breakfast this morning!

Today is mine & Jeff’s 6th wedding anniversary! And to commemorate the occasion, I thought I’d do a short little post dedicated to all of our past anniversary’s. So to get things started, here’s a brief “history” of our relationship…
Sometime in the very beginning of May 2011, I got strep throat really super bad and was out of work for a week. While bored at home, I signed up for a dating website. So we actually “met” on that dating site, just a week or so after I signed up. We talked online and through emails/phone/text for a few weeks, and then spontaneously had our first date/meeting at Zaxby’s for lunch one day, somewhere around the end of May. We dated over that summer, and officially became boyfriend/girlfriend on August 10th. We dated for 1.5-ish years, and got engaged on Valentine’s Day, 2013, and then married later that year, on October 5th, 2013!
Our first photo together – July 4th at St. George Island fireworks; followed by an engagement photo on February 14, 2013!
