Weekends in Waxhaw

One of Adam's best friend's Mike has a house out in Waxhaw, NC.  He has some land with the house and we have seriously grown to love going out there this year. 

His son Ryland is Aidan's BFF so they have a great time.  It's tons of free space for them to run and they can get in to just about anything and we let them be. They jump in the leaves, climb all over the barn, ride their four wheelers through the corn fields and now Mike has added a trampoline to the mix...so they have that to do as well. It's a little man's dream come true out there. 

Mike builds a bonfire and the adults switch off enjoying a beverage and taking the boys on "Nature Walks".

Chelsea and I are not huge fans. I mean it's pitch black out in those woods!

Adam totally caught off guard here. Haha! Still cute!

Chelsea and I bundled up around the fire! Love this girl!

Me and my hunny bunny.  Hi, my name is April and I have a serious addiction. His name is Aidan.  Poor thing, I am constantly harassing him to let me hold him/kiss him/squeeze him and I am always asking him one million questions because I love to hear him talk. 



Chels and I have a little segment coming up entitled " A City Girl's Guide to Surviving in the Country". It should be pretty hilarious and packed full of helpful information so stay tuned!!! 

Clemson vs. Virginia Tech-ACC Championship Game

Clemson played Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game the first weekend in December. (That's how old this post is).  My youngest brother Jordan is a Senior at Clemson and we are now huge fans...so when my parents heard the game was going to be here in Charlotte at Bank of America stadium, they bought 12 tickets! 

Since they are PSL owners for the Panthers they get first dibs on tickets to these events.  The seats were just two rows behind our 6 season seats.  Jordan brought some of his friends and we all had a great time!

You probably know this by now, but Clemson killed VT. It was a great game! Go Tigers!

The parents and I.  My Dad is making a goofy smile on purpose.

Mr. & Mrs.

Me and Jordan.

                                               



Beautiful Sunday!

It was gorgeous day on Sunday here in Charlotte.  I thought I was a little sad thinking about winter coming to an end but now that I've had a little spring tease, I am soooo ready for nice weather!  How about you?  Sunday we really wanted to get out and get some fresh air so we headed to the US National White Water Center.  We spent two hours just walking the trails and letting the kid run wild! It was the perfect way to spend the day.  I can't wait for the rapids to open so we can give it a try this season! I might even do the zip line! Eeeeek. 







How Did I Get Here?

I feel like I have written this post a few different ways in the past but I always love thinking about how we got to where we are in such a short amount of time. 

I was such a planner for so long.  I was never going to be married before thirty and kids were no where in sight.  I don't even know if I wanted babies way back then.  4 years ago, I met Adam and things really began to change.  I bought my first house, we moved in.  We started our life together and we were busy making this little house a home and enjoying our young, fun and very new relationship.  Three months later I was pregnant and scared out of my mind!!! Bye, bye planner!  Haha.  Nine short months later the greatest thing in the world happened to us.  The two of us stared wide eyes in the delivery room at this miracle we had created together.  We were still young and still in love but now we had a whole new perfect little thing to love.  We were a family of three.  Our love for eachother grew leaps and bounds and we were having the time of our lives with a new baby.  Ocotober came and we were married.  Already two and a half years ago!  Time flies when your having fun I guess. 

Here we are four years in to our relationship and nearing Aidan's third birthday and I'd rather figure it out day by day with these two than plan anything.  I love how things have happened and the story of how we became the Harvey's.  I wouldn't change it for the world.  I look forward to thinking back and writing posts about when it was just the three of us.  But in the meantime, I am going to enjoy this Friday night watching Disney movies with my boys.  I have never been as happy as I am right here.
