Mid August post

We had a fun weekend with Nana, Papaw and the girls' cousins, Holly & Jamie. Nana & Papaw arrived at our place on Saturday around lunchtime and the rest of the crew got here a little later. We all swam and then cooked hamburgers. The girls all played until they were worn out. Holly & Jamie started to spend the night, but changed their minds at the last minute. Jamie wasn't feeling great. She fell off of the girls' bed and hurt her wrist. We found out on Sunday night that she'd broken it and is casted up to her little shoulder :( That makes a hot summer even hotter!

On Sunday, we got up and had breakfast and went out to the Old Mill in North Little Rock. I'd heard from several people that it's a great photo op, and since Papaw always has his camera, we had to try it out! We decided it must be a popular spot for photos because a bride-to-be was there having her wedding photos done. It's really a beautiful place.....maybe the next time we go it'll be a little cooler. We took bread so that we could stop off at a pond I'd spotted a few days earlier to feed the ducks.

We're headed home (to Lake City) this weekend to see everyone. Jeremy had a camping trip planned with his brother and brother-in-law, but had to cancel it when he found out he was headed to Houston to work the following two weeks. The girls & I have to drop him off at the LR airport in the early afternoon, so our trip home will have to be cut a little short as well.


***Finishing this up on Sunday afternoon...maybe blogger will let me finish it today. I started this post on Wednesday of last week!


We're packing Daddy up for his flight to Houston. We even bought new luggage last night! No more borrowing or carrying our things in Wal-Mart bags or those duffel bags you get when you buy a certain cologne at Dillard's. His flight leaves at 3:45, so we're getting ready to leave soon and hoping he doesn't encounter too long of a security delay.

Be Safe Daddy!!

(I still can't upload any pics, so just words for now!)

August is here!

It's definitely August and the temperature outside reflects it. The girls & I haven't left the apartment much at all. Errands will just have to wait! We're getting cabin fever, though, so it just HAS to let up soon! I love the fall and can't wait to see October roll around.





Not anything major to share this time. Just a few pics I've taken over the past week. The first is of the girls and their favorite thing to play with...Play Dough! We spend a lot of evenings on the porch having popsicles, so I'll share a couple of those pics, too.


We've discovered Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream! We went on Friday night after Daddy got home from work, and let me tell ya...it was a happenin' place!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE ice cream, and I thought it was awesome stuff. Jeremy, as expected, was NOT impressed. I had one called Cheesecake Fantasy and the girls had some good ole' watermelon. Their lips were red for 2 days!


Amy, Justin & Jacob came to visit us on Saturday. The kids played while we cooked lunch. We had big plans to grill burgers outside, but it was WAY too hot, so we broke out the counter-top grill and they were JUST as good. After lunch, the kids napped and then we headed to the pool for some water fun. Afterward, we headed to the Olive Garden for sum YUMMY dinner!

We're planning on having company again this weekend. We invited Nana & Papaw over on Saturday (and to spend the night Friday if they'd like!) and we also invited the girls' cousins, Holly & Jamie (and their parents) over to play. Riley & Maddie are always happy to see Holly & Jamie!

Enough for now, it's lunchtime and then naptime for everyone, Mommy included!
