Overdue post

So I am long overdue for a post...its pretty bad that I look at blogs everyday and yet I never can remember to update my own!
I will start to work on this more I PROMISE!
A lot has happened since I posted last. We went to Charlotte to celebrate my birthday and Brian and my brother went to the race. 
We headed to Charlotte on Friday morning...We spent Friday night with the whole family enjoying Brunswick stew, and oysters!

Me and Mama!

Love him SOO much!

My good lookin' husband!

Yummy Oysters!

Topped off with gingerbread and whipped cream for dessert!

It was so much fun and very yummy!

Saturday morning we went to Emma's softball game! She played so well! She got a base hit and even scored! She did an awesome job catching too! Brian and I were so proud of her!
After that was over Mom and I headed out to go horseback riding and Brian, Dad and Will went to get things together for the race.
Mom and I had a blast horseback riding. Mom even treated me to a private ride this time so it was longer and we even got to trot some!
Here we are...Mom was on Gypsy and I was on Maverick. Gypsy was Mavericks Mom!

Sunday we relaxed at the house and then got in the car around noon to head back to Maryland.

We had such a nice trip and really enjoyed getting to spend time with family!
We had a slow week...Brian spent a couple evenings hunting. Friday night he stayed at his parents hoping to get a deer on Saturday morning but he still has not gotten one. I am starting to worry because I really don't want a grumpy husband! My father in law has gotten 2 so I keep telling Brian he needs to go sit with his dad! Oh well...
We spent Saturday wrapping meat and my mother in law and I also went to get things for my sister in laws baby shower! It is in a couple weeks but we have a lot going on between now and then so we got it all done! I am so excited to see Carly in a couple of weeks and I am so excited to celebrate this baby!
I don't think I ever posted this but Brian and I were so excited to find out that this newest addition will be a...

BOY! 

We are so excited! So baby Brady has already been racking up the gifts in our house!

Friday night I spent the whole evening trying out a new DIY project I saw on Pinterest...I can't believe it worked!

Made out of unbleached COFFEE FILTERS!

I also spent a lot of time working on things for Carly's shower but I can't show those now! I will make sure to take lots of pictures at the shower though!
I think that is about all the news around here. I will try to update soon!
Love to all...FROM MD!
