Friday Favorites

I can't believe it is Friday again, but I guess Holiday weeks will to that to ya!! :)

Since it's Friday you know what that means.....I'm linking up with 

Erika, Andrea, and Narci 

Memorial Day Weekend! You can read my weekend recap here! We had the best weekend just spending time together at the lake and pool! Spending time with my FAVORITE people is one of my FAVORITE things to do:)

Duke stayed with Grammy and Granddaddy while we were at the lake! Getting pictures of my rotten dog is most definitely a FAVORITE! 

In case anyone is wondering....it's really RUFF to be Duke Bramlett!! 

Getting Mani's and Pedi's with my Ella Marie is one of our FAVORITE things to do together!! Ian went home with Grammy Tuesday afternoon while Ella and I headed to guitar lessons...well I didn't know her teacher was out of town...#oops

So no guitar lessons = trip to the nail salon for momma and miss. priss

My Etsy Shop has been on vacation for the past week, so I could get caught up on orders and spend the weekend with my FAVORITES! The overwhelming love and support I have received from you guys is for sure a FAVORITE! I can't thank you guys enough! 

The shop is reopened and ready for orders! 

 We met Ben's parents Wednesday night for dinner at PF Chang's and I LOVE their lettuce wraps! They are my FAVORITE!! The kids and I ran some errands around the mall area! We got finished a few minutes early, so they ran their little hearts out in this little concert area! Burning kid energy is a FAVORITE! 

Ain't nobody got time to keep that energy bottled up!! ;)

Sassy britches! 

Spending time with family is always a FAVORITE! My sister, Stacey, Ian, Ella, and I took my grandparents lunch yesterday! I just love them! 

Paw-Paw and Ella love to play guitar together and listening to them is a FAVORITE!!

I mean just look at them! My Paw-Paw isn't feeling great these days, but he lights up when Ella walks in with her guitar! 

My sister and Ian played his baseball game that he brought to my grandparents! Tonya AKA Ton-Ton is one of his FAVORITE people EVER! He loves going to Ton-Ton's house! 

Some of my FAVORITE people in the world!! 

As a little girl my main goal was to grow taller than Maw-Maw! Every time I saw her, I would have to measure myself against her! Finally one day I passed her! Well as my kids have grown up, they have always wanted to "measure" themselves to Maw-Maw- as you can see Ian is WAY past Maw-Maw and Ella is almost there! Passing down traditions will always be a FAVORITE!! 

Thanks for stopping by and reading some of our FAVORITES this week! 

We are headed to the lake with family! It is sure to be a good time! 

I will be back Monday with a recap of our CRAZY weekend!!

Cory's Graduation

I can't even believe my youngest nephew just graduated High School! When Ben and  I graduated from High School, Cory was only 6 weeks old! and I just graduated a few years ago, so I'm not really sure how it is possible that he graduated last Thursday! Crazy how that happens ;)

It was so HOT waiting for the graduation ceremony to begin! We were drenched in sweat and looking ole so fabulous for the ceremony.....#NOT

Me, Tonya, Mom, Ella, and Stacey~

We were hotter than a firecracker on the 4th of July! 

My sister sent me these pictures that she took before we headed to dinner~

Finally the sun started going down and the ceremony started!! 

We spotted our Cory!! 

He's the tall red head- He's hard to miss in a crowd! 

We like to think he was looking for his fan club!! 

We were SCREAMING his name! 

Finally he spotted us!! 

Getting ready to cross the stage! 

Receiving his diploma!! 

HE DID IT!! 

They did a Senior Dance! 

The Graduate with my babies!! 

Cory and Grandma! 

My crew with the graduate! 

Proud Parents! 

Me with the graduate! 

Brothers! 

All my sister's babies are graduated:(

All the grandkids! 

So Proud of Cory and all of his accomplishments! He has a bright future ahead of him!! 

I watched him come into this world, so in my eyes he will forever be this spunky, little redheaded boy! 

I mean look at him! 

The mess only an aunt could love ;)

Can't wait to see what the future holds for you Cory! 

We Love You!! 

Ben, Heather, Ian, and Ella!! 

See you guys back here tomorrow for FRIDAY FAVORITES~~~

Pinspiration Wednesday! {Summer Bucket List}

The first Wednesday of every month I link up with these FABULOUS Ladies for Pinspiration Wednesday!
Erica, Justine, and Leigh

Today we are sharing our Summer Bucket List~ 

So I asked the kids what they would like to do this Summer! 

Here is what they said:

Six Flags! 

 Well that works for me because they both earned free tickets through the reading program at School!! :)

Wild Adventures!

 It is in Valdosta, GA which is where Ben graduated from college, so we are planning a weekend to go visit his Alma Mater and Wild Adventures. 

It is a mini Six Flags and they also have a water park! 

We have VBS next week! 

On the days that we stay home to catch up on rest, cleaning, laundry, Etsy orders, etc 

 I plan on having these activities for the kids!!

IAN

Y'all know how much my Ian Michael LOVES Golf!!

ELLA

She could play school for HOURS! I found these AWESOME printable's for her to use!!

Ella can easily entertain herself!! She loves playing school, coloring, and playing with her American Girl dolls!! 

It's Ian that is EASILY Boredom and hates to be by himself! 

BOTH:

They both need to work on their Summer Reading List, so I found these ideas!!

We also have the Pottery Barn Kids bean bag chairs! Ben's mom bought them for the kids for Christmas one year! Well I think it is time we bust them out again and make a reading nook in the Living Room!! Anything to get them to read more!! 

I also saw these on Pinterest!!

and thought this would be a nice guide to follow some weeks!!

If you have been reading my blog for any length of time then you know our love for Ice Cream and My FAVORITE Ice cream Maker!!

I got this awesome machine online as one of the 12 days of Christmas daily deals from William Sonoma for around $40! 

I have used it a few times and the ice cream is so yummy!! Since it gets durn right HOT here in Georgia, we plan on making and eating LOTS of ice cream! I found these yummy recipes 

and this one...

Hope you guys have a great day and I can't wait to see what is on your Summer Bucket List! 

I LOVE sharing and getting new ideas from my #bloggerbesties
