Crazy weekend!

FOURTH OF JULY!

The fourth of July was crazy fun and BUSY.. we were all over God's green earth! On Friday, I went with my good friend Jennifer Beall to the Ranger game!  It's always fun watching the game with Jennifer because, not only does she know EVERYTHING you need to know about the game, but she has some fabulous seats!  Mike met us there after he had a little HH with his work buddies.  We watched the Rangers whoop up on the Marlins and win 15-5.  Much better game to watch then the painful game on my birthday!


Saturday was a busy day- We woke up, and got ready to FINALLY go out on the lake!  We packed our bag and headed that way.  Matt rode with us, and we met Tom and Patsy at the boat shed to do all the heavy lifting.  It was such a beautiful day out on the lake, and party cove was slowly getting ready to party.  It's definitely a different kind of fun on the lake when you're six months pregnant, but you know what?? I had just as much fun floating around on my noodle.

After a while, we went and picked up Robert and Clay.  Clay finally had his first real lake experience.. besides the one when he was still in diapers and turning dangerously red!  He had a blast doing what kids do- jumping off the boat, climbing on the boat, repeat!  

*Favorite times at the lake!

After lake time, we got ready for a good ole BBQ at our good friends' Tyler and Susie's.  I tell you what-there might not be anything better than a chili dog after a day on the lake with fruit! (Sorry Doc, I'll work it off later!)

Saturday morning, we got up and headed to Greenville.  We met up with our great, long-lost friends- Curt and Jenny at his parents' house.  They have a fabulous place...so much fun.  Our day consisted of floating around in the pool, working on our tan AND playing with their nine little puppies!  They were half German Shorthair Pointer/ half English Pointer---perfect!  It took all of my self control not to take one home with me!  Mike and I usually don't have much self control either.  Look at these precious faces:  

That evening, we went to a lakehouse party on Club Lake and it was a good, old-fashion time!  We got out our lawn chairs and feasted on some BBQ and watermelon (of course), watched a pontoon parade, almost watched someone catch on fire from fireworks, and listened to a live band sing 'Old McDonald' to all the little kids (precious)!  At the end of the night, they had the most awesome firework show over the lake...but of course we had to end the night with Curt and Mike almost killing themselves with $250 worth of store bought fireworks!

We left Greenville around midnight, and were headed home to pick up the dogs and off to Granbury. That's right-we're crazy!  After a quick shower and a cup of coffee, we were on the road again.  Finally made it to Granbury about 3 a.m.  We woke up with the dogs about 7  the next morning, and got to visit with my parents and Yaya & Papa!  My mom, Yaya, and I left around 9 to go to downtown Granbury to watch an amazing parade and do a little shopping.  There were a lot of little stands that sold the cutest bows!  I started my bow collection, for sure!  Check 'em out!  The green one is from my mom (still deciding on a Grandma name). 

 It was about 1000 degrees outside--don't think I've ever felt sweat roll down my legs, ugh!  So, after about an hour, it was pool time!  While lounging in our pool attire, my dad and I realized we were about the same size- so we decided to do a comparison.  What do you think??

After watching-yet another- fabulous firework show, we were headed home after a busy couple of days. Now, we just can't wait for Grace to celebrate our next 4th of July with us!
