A Weekend Getaway

Last weekend, I traveled with my sister, her girls, and my parents to my cousin's wedding in Georgia.  Mom, Jenn, and the little girls flew to Georgia last Tuesday.  Dad and I flew to GA on Thursday...it was some special Daddy/Daughter time.  I don't often get a full day just to chat with my Dad these days. 

My sweet cousin, Elizabeth, got married outside in front of a beautifully renovated farmhouse.  The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. 

My mom and I went down to the house to get a sneak peek on Saturday morning and we ended up staying to set tables, put out centerpieces, and much more that day.  It was such an honor to help set up for Elizabeth's special day.  What great memories!

I took this picture during all the setup...check out those two huge magnolia trees on each side of the farmhouse! 

This is a picture at the beginning of the ceremony.  The flower wreaths on the windows and the fresh spring garland on the porch rails were just beautiful.

Bridesmaids, Vivi the flower girl, and the cute ring bearers.  I sure did love those seersucker suits! 

Here comes the bride!

Darling Vivi and her cousin, Jake...how cute!

Cake! - I promise that background is real...I know my Texas city friends might not have any idea that farmland like this still exists....it's not just in Southern Living Magazine.

Bryan stayed home with the boys in Texas.  Jordan woke up on Saturday morning and said, "Dad, today is Boy Day!!"  So, Bryan had to exceed Jordan's expectations.  I started to get these text pictures at about 7:00 in the morning and they kept popping up right up until lunchtime.  These boys are going to wish I was out of town more often.

BOY DAY:

-Watching Star Wars before breakfast

- Riding to the hardware store to get some grass

"Thumbs Up!"

- Feeding fish at the park

- A snack stop!

- Feeding ducks at the pond

- And the final stop at the library for some new books!

Yep, I'm pretty sure "Boy Day" was a big hit!!

Fun at Gram's House

Oftentimes I get really adorable text pictures from Gram to give me a little sneak peek into the boys' day while I am at work.  Here are a few pictures that have dinged on my phone recently...

Dress-up time with cousins at Aunt Emily's house:



Rolling around in Chris' hammock outside in the backyard:

(Nathan likes to hide in the hammock.  Jordan does not.)

Water Table Fun:

Makes me just a little excited about summer.  It just can't get here fast enough!

Drive-In Movie Day

Last week was "Drive-In  Movie Day" at school.  All of the parents made cardboard cars for the kids to take to school.  They were all lined up in front of the big screen with popcorn and a Sonic drink for a fun Mickey Mouse Clubhouse movie!  So fun! 

Bryan created Batmobiles for the boys.  They thought they were the bomb! 

 Check out that control panel!

"We won the race!"...because everything is a race at our house right now.  At supper, you win the carrot race if you eat your carrots first.  At night time, you might win the pick-up-your-cars race if you pick up toys really fast.
