Another Sweet Surprise...

I was so surprised this afternoon when I got a special delivery at work and especially since I got flowers just the other day.  But sweet Sam surprised me once again...

And maybe I wasn't the nicest co-worker because I didn't share and brought it home...and yes, I dug in...I love fruit but am too lazy to cut up my own.

And this little one came home from cheer and devoured all the grapes.  Such a special treat!  We are for sure on the countdown...Sam will be here in 13 days for two weeks.  And we are all super excited!  We miss her so much!

Fishing at the Rez...

My kids typically experience anything "country" with their Nanna, but yesterday Matt took them to do something they have been begging to do...fish at the reservoir.  We have for sure hit the "hot" of summer so they waited until 6ish to go and ended up staying until dark...they had the best time!

Cooper caught the first fish, and he ended up only catching one.

Anna Lauren actually caught two fish...

Think they may have enjoyed swimming as much as fishing...

LOVE Cooper's face...

They were so proud of their three fish...and according to Cooper, he caught all three of them!

After getting over the fact they couldn't be his "pet fish" and live in an aquarium, he put them in the freezer.  They really had the best time, and I'm thankful they have a Daddy willing to take them!

Cow Appreciation Day...

This past Tuesday was Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A, which means, if you dress like a cow you get to eat for FREE!  If you know me, you know this is out of my comfort zone...but...every once in a while, I am up for a little bit of silliness and fun with the family.

This little boy may have been the cutest cow at Chick-fil-A...

To be so embarrassed about the whole thing at first, she finally got into the fun or should we say free food?

I lucked out because Kat left me her shirt that she had made to wear to lunch...

Cooper wanted to take all the pictures...and actually, he did pretty good for a four year old.

Cooper is all about the "silly" face pictures...

And a couple pictures with my favorite little cows...

Not sure why I would expect to have a "normal" picture...it's a constant circus at our house.  But for the most part, everyone is happy, smiles a lot, and loves being together!

Sweet Surprise...

I was sitting at my desk working this morning when I heard a lady come into our office looking for "Mandi Calvert".  To my surprise, it was a delivery for me.  Of course I was racking my brain trying to think who would be sending flowers and couldn't open the card quick enough...

 

 

Tears filled my eyes as I read the card...sweet Sam sent me flowers to work today! 

Needless to say, I will be smiling all week as I work and look at my pretty flowers.  And of course missing her coming into my office propping her feet up on my desk and telling me about her day! 

I'm with her...not always sure why God does things sometimes, but we are so thankful she is now a part of our family! 

Callie's Sip and See...





On Friday, July 3rd, we had a Sip and See in Gulfport for the newest member of our family...Calvert "Callie" Olivia Day.  It was a sweet afternoon of girl fun and lots of pink!
