bike rides, snow cones & a date with jillian.

big title, i know- you guys there has been so much going on in my life. today has been the first day when i have a "lazy" day, so i can put everything here- for all of you to read. i love my readers!

we have been bike riders lately. russ will get his kids on their bikes & next thing you know i hear lyla saying, "mrs. evanda". heart melts & then i am like cory get your bike. i love having friends as neighbors, makes my heart happy! we rode our bikes to get a snow cone the other day which is like a 3 mile bike ride if you just go their & back, but we rode around the neighborhood & then rode there. lets say 4 miles one day. it was so fun & the snow cone lady even took our picture to put on her Facebook.

saturday night i put a pot of pintos on to cook through the night & they turned out so good. my friend dockery say my instagram post & next thing you know he is over having a bowl.

mmm. i love them. so much.

sunday was like the perfect day, i love those days that you just think about over & over again. we went to church, came back home & ate these pintos, hung out with dockery & then my parents stopped by to say hi. we sat on the porch in our eno & just enjoyed the day. russ came by again & next thing you know we are riding our bikes again all over town- probably about 5 miles, maybe 6. after being in the sun all day, i got a craving for ice cream so we drove everywhere looking for a cone, but its sunday & everything is closed. ingels had what we needed. so we come back home sit on the porch & then i got a video call on imo from guytho- he was at CAD & i got to video chat with all my sweet kids at CAD including these two.

love those kids so much. june is right around the corner. i pray for these kids every single day. please join me in praying for these kids! God is so big & can open really BIG doors.

if you would like to donate to CAD you can do so here

all proceeds go to CAD to get water, & support better nutrition!

yesterday was my last day filling in at my old job, which i am thankful for because i am going to buy my ticket for my june trip tomorrow! i got to have one of my favorite coffees yesterday- twice.

dancing goats is so good- if you find yourself in decatur ga please go here. get the caramel latte hot or iced.

i met up with jillian after work and we went to mac mcgees. 

i had a cheese plate & she got bangers & mash. i am irish & i enjoy irish food & the conversation from a life long friend. we always have the best talks & friends like her are never replaceable. 

love you jillian- jillyvans foreva!

also- she is planning a really awesome fundraiser for CAD in August & i cannot wait to give you guys more details. 

other than all of this i have been searching for grants everyday on the computer, writing sponsor letters, & planning lessons for the girls at CAD for the june trip!

hope your week has been well so far.

love you all

diy kiddo scarves.

my newest little obsession is making these cute little scarves. i also don't mind having this cutie as our model.

i love the checkered pattern. i feel like both of these are unisex. 

cannot wait to make more cute things for all of the cute kiddos of the world! i have been trying to find more things to do to make money & use all this creative talent the lord has blessed me with. cheers to open doors & lots of fabric. 

cheers,

zeke.

this little guy. his name is zeke. he is by far the cutest little boy i know & i am so blessed to be besties with his parents. his mom is my business partner & my daydreaming partner. he can say "banda". he knows his colors. he correlates snoring with my husband. he will carry on the cutest conversations with you. he is so so smart for his age. he loves soccer.  he brushes his teeth and will ask for more paste. he is a typical "boys boy" & i absolutely adore him. i love watching him play with cory. he will get his little pop rubber gun out and shoot cory, cory will fall to the ground in a very epic way & zeke loves it so much he will say, "again, get up" & cory gets up & does it all over. it really does make my heart melt. 

cute right? i took these this past weekend. 

here are some more i have taken over the last few months.

look at this. how young he was. so stinkin cute.

love being able to watch this little man grow up. he is surrounding by so many people that love him. his parents are amazing & i am sure you will see a lot more of him on my little space here. 

cheers,

mrs. estes
