Lots Going On!

The past few weeks around the Phillips' household have been a whirlwind! Between birthdays, wedding showers, graduations and celebrating mother's day - we have been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off! ha! Anyways....here is a little of what's been going on.....

We celebrated Josh's Grandpa Jim's 80th Birthday!



Enjoyed lots of visiting....


Some great food...


And ended the night with some serious card playing....


Attended another wedding shower for my beautiful sister!





And a celebration for my cousins Cacy and Jake!
USAO Graduates!




So that's what's been going on in our neck of the woods! Josh is out of school for the next couple of weeks. I am so excited to have more time with him! We plan on doing some yard work, plus we're going on vacation....so I'm sure I'll be blogging about that pretty soon.

Showered with Love!

My little sister is getting married this summer and the showers have officially started! I love wedding showers....everything about them - I love the cake and punch, I love flowers, spring dresses, mingling with family & friends, and beautiful gifts wrapped in pretty bows!

Lesha and Billy have had two wedding showers so far and have two more left to go. I had the privilege of hosting her first shower along with some of our aunts and a couple of cousins (Aunt Nancy, Aunt LaFonda, Aunt Sherryl, Aunt Glenda, Cousin Cacy and Cousin Cindy). We had a lime green and turquoise theme which I thought turned out really cute.

Our Me-Me made this towel cake. She made one for my wedding shower too. I think they are the cutest thing ever!


We used limes in glass vases for centerpieces.

Lesha & I made a scrapbook. We passed it around the shower so everyone could see some of the memories Lesha & Billy have made together.

Thank you everyone for helping with the shower. I think it was a success!

Since then, Lesha and Billy have had a 2nd wedding shower. It was just as beautiful and had a great turn out. It was a couples shower, so the men were invited too. We had some awesome food and some really great cookies at this one! Here are a few pics to share....

And last but not least.....THE HAPPY COUPLE!

Simple Pleasures

I've been thinking about life's simple pleasures lately. Maybe it's the verge of spring weather that's got me thinking about all the little things that make me smile. Here are a few things that make me smile....

What are some of your simple pleasures in life??

Spring is here.....kind of!

This week was spring break, so I took off a few days to spend with Josh since he didn't have school. Wednesday we had lunch at Red Robin (Josh's favorite) and hit up Home Depot for some landscaping stuff. As sad as it sounds, Home Depot has become one of my favorite stores! haha

Wednesday night we went to Libby's to celebrate St. Patty's day with the fam. We had a blast! The Buffalo Family usually plays on Wednesday nights and Josh is usually off work. We love going and sitting on the patio & listening to some good music. Luckily, patio weather is finally starting to come back!

Good grub & green beer!!

Thursday we spent all day doing yard work. Once again, the weather was great! We got a ton of work done.

We built a flower bed in front of the house.

I painted the shutters.

We found an awesome fountain for a steal!

And the guys cut down a big ugly dead tree.

haha, I caught the guys taking a break!

Friday, I went with my mom and sister to Ponca City to have my sister's bridal pictures taken. Another beautiful weather day! Lesha looked absolutely gorgeous - I can't wait to see the pictures! Saturday........the FIRST DAY OF SPRING, I woke up and looked outside to see the ground covered in a blanket of SNOW! haha, I guess that's Oklahoma weather for ya! I really hope that is the last winter weather we will see. I can't wait to plant some flowers in our new flower beds!

Road Trip!

Last weekend my family (Mom, Dad, Lesha, Josh, Me, Grandma, Aunt Sherryl) headed out on a road trip to Decatur, TX. Why Decatur, TX you might ask??

For some entertainment!


My cousin Robynn had a gig! She is an incredibly beautiful person inside and out and has an incredibly beautiful voice to match! I am so excited to see where her music career takes her...she is VERY talented!

Here is her proud momma (Aunt Glenda) and proud hubby (Matt).


We all had a great time - it was so great to get away for the weekend and spend some time with family!
