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.

***I didn't really proof read so don't judge***

TEST. TEST. 1-2-3.

I got a new phone! The Blackberry Storm that is. I'm testing out blogging from my phone. THIS IS SO COOL!

So Many Things

To all my friends, followers and stalkers..... We have so many things to discuss, yet so little time. I would love to make separate posts for all the wonderful things we need to talk about but this post will have to do. So, hang on because we have some catching up to do! :)

I feel like we haven't been home at all lately, which means the laundry that was to get done this weekend is spilling out of hamper onto the floor. I have got to do the laundry tonight or else Drew will be running around without any clothes on. YIKES!

We had a lovely Mother's Day last Sunday. We took mom to breakfast at Old West Cafe. SOOO GOOD!! Brooks, Kendall, Drew & I took family pictures in from of Mom's stone house out on their property. I have been meaning to post those pictures but, yet again, BUSY!! Click here to see the exact post I would post... but on Kendall's blog. Kendall is so amazing, she can even take group pictures with herself in them! :) Love the pictures.. check out Kendall's photography website here.

Let's take a minute and discuss Dad's shirt. If he wears a button down shirt it is almost always plaid, sometimes a solid color. I do have to say I am so very proud of him for wearing this flowered, pearl-snapped shirt. Doesn't he look so cute? Very outside of the box for him. Mom, you look beautiful too!

Next, look at this black beauty! Drew got a new toy about a month ago, he's in love!!

Here we are about to go for a spin with the top off. Now we ride with the doors off too!! I feel a little exposed and pray we don't get hit or we roll over, but overall, it is FUN! It is VERY WINDY but fun on nice sunny days. I bought a special ballcap just for the Jeep. That darn pony wasn't holding all my hair in! Oh, Hobie likes the Jeep too!

Friday I talked Drew in to going for a walk on the Greenbelt (a local state park for trail riding, biking, walking, fishing). Since we were in the Jeep we didn't take much with us because locking it up is pointless... Anywho, we pulled up and it cost $5/person, we didn't have any cash so we drove to a gas station, got $20 out of the ATM, went inside to buy a pack of gum to break the $20 and went back to the Greenbelt. Plus the $3 ATM FEE. LOL!! At this point Drew was not very happy about spending $13 for a walk!!

The walk was very peaceful, you could hear the birdies chirping, water flowing down the river...

Snails slithering away....

Trains a chugging down the track...

A happy husband.....

And yes my friends, A SNAKE!!!!!!!!!! We were walking back and I stopped in my tracks and yelled, "OMG, OMG, OMG!!!" I couldn't even mutter the S-word (Snake that is), Drew finally saw what I was oh-my-goshing about and jumped too. He does not like snakes either I was not about to step over the snake and keep walking so Drew was throwing rocks at the snake and the darn thing would not slither away!!! Finally, Drew pinned the snake down and I ran around it, snapped a few pictures and was paranoid for the rest of the walk back and would only look where my feet went.

Good thing this thing was bright green!! I don't know if I would have seen it if it was brown. Drew said "that was probably the first snake I ever let go without killing." hehe!

This is how scared I was!!!!! EEEKKKK!

Does anyone have a bucket list? I do!! All those wonderful things you want to do before you kick the bucket. I'm so very excited that I got to check one off the list this past weekend. This one was ranked pretty high, I mean WAY up there. I GOT TO SEE THE BEACH BOYS IN CONCERT!!!! WAHOO!!

Kendall and Brooks invited us to go and I couldn't have been more thrilled. We had pretty good seats and the concert was SO AWESOME!! After they sang 2 songs they joked that they had to take an intermission followed by a nap!! Keep in mind, The Beach Boys started in 1961 and only have 2 originals left but it didn't sound any different. Kendall and I might be The Beach Boys youngest fans. We sang our little hearts out to every word.

Notice the 'blue hair' in the background.

The concert was at Winstar Casino in Oklahoma so we had to do a little gambling. Kendall and I weren't too thrilled. I would rather be saving my money for a Coach purse.

Thanks for taking us Kendall and Brooks!

N-a-k-e-d

No, I'm not n-a-k-e-d but I feel like it. I left my cell phone at home today. I hate it when that happens!! I am a paranoid mess!! Mostly because I worry about getting in a wreck or my car breaking down and having nobody to call. What if I get robbed?? Oh my!

Seriously, what did we do before cell phones? They have been around almost my ENTIRE existence. I remember when my dad had the bag phone when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I didn't get a cell phone until I was 17 so I drove a year without one and did fine. I'm just worrying myself sick. I mean, I don't work close to home. Most of my driving is all highway and rural roads, I hardly have anyone's number memorized... I was broke down on the highway once (with a cell phone) for an hour and NOBODY stopped to help.


I think my next SUV will be a Chevy or GMC so I can have Onstar. At least I would have a back up.


Pray for me!

Ft. Worth Zoo... one week ago!!

Last weekend we went to the Ft. Worth Zoo with our friends Dustin & Lindsey. We got to see everything just before the monsoon hit.

The only picture of all of us with our eyes OPEN!! Sorry so blurry.

Kelsie, how excited are you about going to the Zoo?? Ecstatic!!

Drew, how excited are you to be going to the zoo?? So very excited!!!

Linds & I

Ever wonder what Drew's wing span is??

It is the length of a Turkey Vulture. I don't know what that looks like but it sounds scary!

I knew flamingos stood on one leg, but did you know that they sleep with their knees bent??

So cute and cool!! This swan was nesting!

Scary!!

My favorite... the Kangaroos!!

Gotta love the Elephants!! These big guys were chewing on branches.... well, more like LOGS of wood.

Thanks for inviting us to go to the zoo with ya'll.
