Grandma C and Rory :)

We loaded up our dogs, kids, and crap (as greg calls it when loading and unloading) and headed to Georgetown for a family weekend. We started off by staying with Linds and Aaron on Thursday and enjoyed some of their yummy fajitas and dips. On Saturday we had a breakfast at the monument and Linds, Greg, Nana V, Rory, and I stopped at IKEA. Rory scored a few new toys thanks to Nana and Aunt Linds. Friday night, Greg, Aaron, Linds, Dad, Carlene, Vickie, Jerry, and Coop hit the Round Rock Express game! (It was too hot and a late game for Rory and I to go. :() And then the rest of the weekend was devoted to pool time and Grilling at Paw Paw and Carlene's with cousins, 2nd cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas on the Dent/Boyd side!!! We had a great weekend!!!

Thank you to Dad and Carlene for hosting such a wonderful get together!!!

Happy Father's Day to Rory's wonderful Daddy! And our wonderful dad's PawPaw and Papa J!

party bus! Good times!

This past weekend one of my best friends, Shannon, had her bachelorette party. Nana V and Papa J watched Rory because Greg had to work (the summer has started so lets here it for 14 hour work days :( poor daddy. So after we dropped Maddie off with her "BG" and Rory with Nana and Papa, Amanda and I hit the road. As soon as we got to Georgetown we enjoyed a dinner and margarita at El Patron and then went to the movies to see Bridesmaids. It was a great date night with my BFF! Saturday we met at the hotel at 10am and hopped on a party bus that took us to 3 vineyards in Fredericksburg. We arrived back at the hotel at 5pm and enjoyed take out and went downtown to 6th street. It was a very fun night! However...i was still in mommy mode because I went to be at 3am and woke up at 6:30am ready for the day! i realize there will be no sleeping in even if Rory isn't there from here on out. It was a great getaway weekend!

Thank you so much to Nana V and Papa J for watching Rory and for my sweet husband who drove all the way out to Azle after working long days to put Rory to bed! I love you honey!

PlayDate with Maddie :)

Maddie is a fashionista!

splashing in the whale pool :)

notice the dear antlers in the corner of the picture below...i like to chase Rory around with a deer skeleton and horns and "Roar" at her...she seems to enjoy it as you can tell by the pictures above and below! There is a smile hidden behind that chair... :) ahhh...the things we do to entertain ourselves and our children.

A couple of weeks ago...Amanda (my BFF) dropped Maddie off for a fun filled day at the Hammerlun House. We took a wagon ride through the park and set up water activities in the backyard...the girls had so much fun together...unless Rory's "bunny" was being held by Madison or Madison's "lovie" was being held by Rory. Here are a few pics of that fun day! :)
