The Sandlot

Saturday night, we went downtown to Autozone Park to watch the 20th Anniversary showing of The Sandlot. It’s one of our family favorite movies and definitely one of Ethan’s faves. As soon as we heard about it, we knew that we had to go.

Once we got downtown, we decided to get a quick bite to eat at a new pizza place on Main. (well, it may not be new, but it was new to us b/c we are hardly ever downtown anymore!!! ha!) We really didn’t know what to expect but were pleasantly surprised! It was DELISH! Chris and I shared a “Memphis” pizza. Pulled pork, BBQ sauce, red onions, and slaw. Now, I’m not a slaw person, so we got it on the side. The waitress told me to at least try it though b/c she’s not a slaw person either and she loved it. So, I did. OH MY GRACIOUS… AMAZING! Seriously. I was shocked! If anyone is in downtown Memphis, try Aldo’s Pizza on Main! You’ll love it!!

I sure do love these two!

LK is starting to love taking pics on my big camera!!

As soon as we were finished eating, we walked around the corner to the baseball field. The weather was perfect!! We saw several people that we knew. I’m so glad that we went. We took some beach towels (b/c of course the one time you need your picnic blanket, it’s nowhere to be found!!) and found a great spot on the field. It was a great night!! We are really hoping that the park does more of these movie nights!! We would LOVE to see Field of Dreams on the field!

We had such a fun night! Everyone loved the movie and we really enjoyed our night together!!

Update!

Lately, it seems like I’m doing a lot more Instagraming , than blogging. Sorry friends! Life gets crazy!! If you don’t follow me on IG though, you should! (nataliestickles).

Here’s a few IG updates!

Chris was out of town for Mother’s Day, so I got my gifts a weekend early. Chris did SO good! I got solar lanterns, cute condiment containers, PB tray, and a new apron. I had been hinting for weeks that I wanted these items and he got them ALL! I am so lucky!

      

We got a few Teacher’s Appreciation gifts! We put some flowers in mason jars with Target gift cards, and got LK’s teacher this adorable tote bag from Bumbletees! I couldn’t resist it!!

My sweet sleeping babies!

My sister’s Graduation announcement!!!

    

We had a lovie accident! Huck got a hold of Gray’s lovie and chewed the bottom. Luckily we found a new one the next morning!! Crisis adverted!

      

Ethan made the cutest Mother’s Day craft at school! Now, I’m still wondering how much Chris paid him to put that, but it’s precious none the less! ;) (and I have to agree with him!!) He got a chocolate smoothie (aka – McDonald’s milkshake) and french fries as a treat!

The Chuggington Daze! He’s obsessed!!

    

Swanky’s To Go! Ethan’s fave!!! Best chips and salsa in Memphis!

I got my very first peony bloom this year!!! LOVE peonies!!

He sure does love his puppy!

      

The boys and I had a morning to ourselves, so we ran a few errands and picked up some milk paint for Mommy! I’m painting the dresser that I got at an antique store.

Another craft… chevron burlap wreath!!

Love those lashes!!!

    

    

    

LOVE my babies!!!!!

Gifts for sweet friends! :)

    

Straight from golf lessons to a baseball game!! It’s been crazy around here!

This kids LOVES Dorito Locos Tacos! Seriously. Obsessed.

Balloon release for our sweet Poppie!

Welcoming Summer!!!

So far, we are LOVING summer!!! Unfortunately, Chris has had to be out of town for most of it so far, but we’re making the most of it! We’ve spent just about every waking minute at the pool. When it’s 90+ degrees already, that’s all you really can do!

Sweet baby! He melts my heart!!

Thank goodness for Gram’s pool!! It’s a lifesaver on sweltering days!

Little Man is still a little unsure of the pool, but he’s getting there! His problem is that he hates to wear swimmies! I’ve bought every brand including the puddle jumper and he HATES them! He wants to just swim free with someone helping him float! Such a BOY! ;)

Gotta love a little skinny dipping! ;)

The summer is already flying by! The kids have already had VBS last week and they have Theater Camp next week. Then, it’s 4th of July, then Golf Camp, and finally a week at the beach!!! Sailing by! We are enjoying it though!
