A Little Family Time and a Party!

To say it has been a little crazy around the Prince home is an understatement! Between starting a new at home business ( while on maternity leave-maybe not the smartest thing, but its fun!!), entertaining kids, sick kids, keeping up with the household chores, and our social life, this mama is exhausted! But not to exhausted to have a little farm fun with my little one and host a PARTY!

A few weeks ago David and I decided we wanted to have a special day with Martin. We haven't really got to spend one on one time with him since Mason was born and we felt that it was important to give him some individual mom and dad time before I have to go back to work! So we invited our dear friends, The Chapman's, and loaded our cars up and headed to the LAZY 5 RANCH!!

The boys had a blast! The moms...well...lets just say we took one for the team! Definitely enjoyed watching our little ones get excited about all the animals but sure didn't love when the Emus tired to eat our hair or the other animals blow snot every where! Gross!



At the Lazy 5 Ranch you have the option of driving your car through the park or taking a hay ride. We originally thought we would just drive so the boys would be in the car. Plus they said all the hayrides were booked. But thanks to the Chapman's we were able to get on a hayride. And boy are we glad we took the hayride and not drive! Once we saw how those animals ate the food and were afraid to come after it we quickly realized our car would have been a MESS if we had driven! However, if we had driven we probably wouldn't have lost Martin's SHOE! Oh yes! As we stop at the giraffes David is helping Martin feed them. I look down over the other side of the wagon and notice Martins crock is laying on the ground! Yes I freaked out a little! Thank goodness the Emus that had been following our wagon were not close by! David tried to "fish" the shoe up but wasn't success full so he QUICKLY jumped down to rescue the shoe! Its never a dull moment when The Prince family is around!

Martin had a fantastic time and we are so thankful that we had such great friends to be able to spend such special days with! Martin and Alex may not remember their first time at the Lazy 5 but the moms and dads will! Thanks Mat and Sallie for sharing such a special day with us!!



And of course I can't end the Month of May with out host a fun party!! I love a good party!! We are so blessed to have such fantastic Sunday School class (growth group as we now call it). We have lots of young couples who are either having babies or getting married. So there are plenty of excuse to throw a party! This time it was Caroline's turn to be flattered with gifts! The girls or our GG threw her a little bridal shower a few weeks ago. It was such a fun time of fellowship and laughter!

As I was preparing the house for our party I decided a few areas in the house need a little something extra! You know I love a monogram! Ha! So I decided to add a few to our house! Oh yes I did! I added a monogram to our guest bathroom and to our living room lamps! I think they turned out pretty cute! What do you think?!?!


Summer always puts me in the craft mood! I have many projects on my summer "bucket list"! So stay tuned to see what June holds!

Oh and Thank you to Mathieu Chapman for the cute Lazy 5 pictures....Check out his Facebook site! He's a great photographer! https://www.facebook.com/mchapmanphotography?fref=ts

  2. What a great picture of you and David with Martin! We might have to check out the Lazy 5 Ranch with Lindsey this fall.

    Loving the monogrammed lamp! And laughing at the monogrammed toilet! Love you to pieces, though!
