alabama game weekend reunion

this past weekend we held a reunion of sorts at our house for the alabama/a&m game.  olivers friends/roomies from college and their wives came to spend the weekend with us. and it was SO much fun!!

chloe and potts arrived friday night, and oliver and i had already gone to have mexican food and margaritas.  the 4 of us sat outside and listened to music and had drinks while we watched ava on the baby monitor.  the next day, we started prepping for the rest of the group to arrive with BBQ brisket, bacon wrapped jalapeƱo quail, queso, and lots of chips.  chloe also made us all some mimosas!  :)

later that day sarah and neil, travis, and carly and grant arrived.  the boys watched the game while the girls chatted, played with the babies, and pumped (well, sarah and i did.)   that night we played cards against humanity and hung out outside.  even though the ags lost terribly, it was such a fun day!

oliver showed off the next morning by making a big breakfast and homemade biscuits and we sent our friends on their way.  such a fun weekend reunion and i cannot wait to do it again!


lots of feeding babies 

reunion! 


sweet baby ben and baby ava!

ava mae: nursery reveal

i had a great time doing miss mae's nursery. (i would say WE had a great time...but lets be honest. oliver let me design it all.  thanks boo!) we painted it light gray and then did the inside of the closet the same mint color that we painted the hall bathroom.  it was a labor of love, as oliver, my sister, melissa, rachael, and others all lended a hand to get the previously DARK BLUE room painted light gray.

oliver added shelving to the nursery closet, and painted those to match the trim in there.  i got the nursery rug from urban outfitters, the dresser/changing table was bought for us by my mom from pier one, and the 8 box basket holder/book shelf was from ikea.  her crib is a jenny lind from target and the rocker is a duttalier purchased by oliver's mom.

i love how everything turned out and it makes me happy to go in there!!  enough talking..enjoy some pics of baby ava's nursery!
