Why, Hello There!!

Not much to report here. Just a few pictures to post, but I'll have to make it quick because the Bachelorette is about to start!! Yes, I got sucked in for another season. Who do you think Jillian will pick, Kiptyn or Ed?

We have a couple new editions at the casa! I have loved this rug from Target for a really long time and had a little extra cash so I finally gave in and got it. I LOVE IT!! I thought it might be weird to have a rug on carpet, but I checked with my interior design consultant (aka Kendall/SIL) and she said it was OK! :)

Next is this little booger!!

FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY we have a table in our kitchen!!! I got it here in Canton. I have only waited a year to find and save up for the perfect table. Well, it is kind of a table. It is an island with an overhang and I definitely love this table more than the rug! The island is perfect for our kitchen. We have very limited space in the kitchen so it serves multiple purposes; eating, storage, food prep, buffet for when we eat in the dining room.... and it is just SUPER cute!
and I got these stools in Canton too! I love this type of stool, you can find them just about anywhere. I think they are called saddle stools.

Here is the Hubster playing his first season in slow pitch softball. He is playing with his buddies and I think they are having a good time. They are currently 0-4.... poor guys they try hard! I have faith that they will pull out a win before the end of the season!! AND I must say this is some good entertainment, so if you are in the area give me a shout and I will let you know when and where.

(I think he is a little embarrassed here... Come on, Kels!!! What are you doing?!) he he :)

The "What Happened Was..."

A few weeks ago my Aunt, Uncle and Cousins came in town from Kansas. Drew and I took the boys to tour the new Cowboys Stadium. The was our 2nd trip here, except this time we got to see lots of behind the scenes stuff!

some lounge area

in the locker room.. wasn't quite finished yet.

Turf wasn't laid down yet. They have 3 different turfs!!

Not sure what happened to this pic. This was in another lounge that leads to the locker room. I think this was for family and press??

This star was in between the HUGE screens. COOL!

Jim, Tom, Drew, Alan

Here are my 4th of July puppies! We had planned on attending the 4th of July parade our city puts on but we didn't make it in time. They looked so cute I couldn't let them get by without a little photo session!! Of course this was true Kerestine Khaos... I took TONS of pics trying to get the perfect picture!!

Cutie Patootie

Miss Thang not behaving! Seriously, she is dumb as rocks, but we still love her!

I think this is a good one!!

"Hey Momma!!"

Lastly, Kendall and I hosted our first swap party this weekend. Talk about loads of F-U-N!! Are you wondering what a swap party is?? A swap party is for the purchases that don't work, and do not get returned, there a good solution. We get together with some girl friends and we shop each others impulse purchases. Whatever doesn't go home with someone else we take to Goodwill. A few months ago The Nester posted the idea on her blog and we had to host one ourselves!!

Everyone brought TONS of stuff and I got some really good treasures!

Its been a while... again

Well, not much has been happening here. Last weekend we went to a crawfish boil over at Drew's parents' house and I completely forgot to take pictures!!! So sad. We had a great time and I will even eat those little crawfish, they are so yummy!! Next time I will be sure to take some pictures because it would make a good post.

Sunday we celebrated Father's Day with the family and did a repeat of Mother's Day. Breakfast at Old West Cafe. I have been saving this picture to post of my Dad for Father's Day but as you can see, I never got to it.

My sister-in-law, Kendall, took this picture of my dad at a party. I thought it was a good one! Can you believe how blue his eyes are?!

Speaking of Kendall, today is her BIRTHDAY!! Head on over to her blog to wish her a Happy Birthday!!

HaPpY bIRtHdAy KeNdAlL!! (in your favorite color of course)

Tonight we are going to celebrate Kendall's birthday over at the folks' house. Drew has a softball game also.

Coming up: Hey Batter Batter.

It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine, it's summertime...

I told you earlier that we have been enjoying the summer. Well, here it all goes, this is what we've been up to!! It's a long one, I will try to be brief.

Memorial Day Weekend we went to the Roughriders (a local minor league baseball team) baseball game with the Wynns. We had a really good time until it got rained out. Better luck next time!!

Linds & I eating our Dippin' Dots :)

We had pretty good seats! Sorry, you aren't going to see the picture of Drew & I... it looks like poop!

We also went swimming over at Drew's parent's pool Memorial Weekend. Here is Uncle Drew with his nieces and nephew. Another picture you won't see of me!

We've been doing a lot of Jeep riding too!

Drew & Bubba (aka Hobie).

We went swimming (again) with over at our friends, the Rutledges. Brooks & Kendall were there and Hobie got to play with his cousin, Remi!! Remi is about to go to hunting school, so Hobie and Remi practiced fetching in the pond! Hobie LOVES to swim. Uncle David doesn't let dogs swim in the pool so they have to swim in the yucky water. HA I don't think Hobie cares.

Neighbor Cubby, the Corgi came to play too! **Side note- see the barn in the background? That is where Drew and I lived the first two months we were married, in the apartment that is, not a stall for all you city folk!**

Happy Boy!

Remi: "HAHA... I got it now"

Hobie:"Remi, you are going to have to drown me for this. I'm not letting go!!"

"Who has it now??"

Just another random picture of Hobie after he had been digging. It seems like Hobie is the favorite child, but the Princess stays home to get her beauty rest and doesn't like to get dirty.

NEXT!! Drew and I got to go the George Strait concert at the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium!! This was the first event at the new stadium and was a HUGE concert so it was a really big deal!! Thanks to Drew's sister and brother-in-law!!! They had 2 extra tickets so we got to go!!

Super excited!!!

Thumbs up for the Cowboys!!

Stadium was HUGE!!!

Also, do you see what is hanging across my chest. Yes, my friends, that is a Coach purse!! I finally did it!! I have really been wanting a small one to carry places where I really don't want to carry my big purse. If you know me, you know I don't carry anything smaller than a pony!! I didn't spend a whole lot of money either. I'm happy and I finally don't feel so left out. Now I am on a mission for a small wallet to fit inside. Oh, no!! I hope it isn't an addiction like a tattoo!!

Ok back to the concert....

LeAnn Womack opening

Blake Shelton

Reba

Reba singing Fancy!

ahhhh... King George!! L-O-V-E him!! I had a dream once that I was in his horse trailer!! Weird I know, but I'm a huge fan!! :)

" Jerry (the owner of the Cowboys) open the roof" is what everyone chanted so God could watch.
Roof takes 12 minutes to open!

I had to get a butt shot!! So sexy!!

Happy to be there!

George & I posing for a picture... or was he singing to ME??

My man!! :) I have a video from the concert but I'm having technical difficulties... Sorry Mom & Alberta!!

I had planned to add a garden update to tonight's blog but we just had a HUGE storm blow through our area. I think the garden might be ruined!!! Maybe not everything but I'm thinking most of it.... I'll have to assess the damage tomorrow.

We had 2 small tomatoes FINALLY on our tomato plants and our 4 stalks of corn were blown over. :( SO SAD!! The only thing I think will for sure be ok are the watermelon and pepper plants.
