Girls Night(s) Out..

Miss Me?? The blog slacker that I am.

We continue to stay busy..and sadly, as bad a blogger as I have been, equally is, as bad of  a picture taker as I have been! ;) LOTS and LOTS of Girls Night Outs have occurred over the last couple of weeks.. (and how fun is that? As Ashley put it so well..good for the heart & soul!)

First, Matt and I attended a good ole’ gathering at The Green’s, with The Richardson’s and The Tennison’s. (sadly, minus Brad!) Yummy pizza king and hours of glorious girl talk, and baby lovin’ were had by all. That same weekend, Matt and I attended Brennan’s first All-Stars T-ball tournament! It was held in Spring Hill {cheaters!} and to say it was H-O-T would be an understatement, to say the least! We played a game that Friday night (won) and THREE games on Saturday! (won one, lost two..double elimination)

Next I got to spend a couple of days with Holly and the kiddos, as they came to visit for the first time in over SIX months! Man has that Ainsley grown, and Parker continues to be a mess..love those little angels! On Holly’s last night, we met Ash & Gin at Starbucks, and talked and laughed over a bunch of randomness for hours, but we wouldn’t have had it any other way~

Last weekend, Matt and I headed off to yet another T-ball game held in Diana, where the boys lost to Gilmer..the heat was down right oppressive. I don’t know how those babies do it!

  

 

After the game, we hurried home so I could ditch Matt and head to Kendrah’s, where Ashley, Ginger, Colleen, Jen, and I spent the next 8 hours laughing, crying, eating, and drinking ours troubles away!! We had THE BEST time, and called it a “morning” around 4AM!!

The following day, (which I spent much of recuperating) Matt and I did a little shopping, and then waited on our ride (The Richardson’s) to pick us up, so we could head to Tyler, Villa Montez to be exact, to celebrate Amber’s 30th birthday! Amber, Gin’s BFF or Ambo as I like to call her, had not a clue and was oh so surprised to see us all there!

“Hiding!”

oh so surprised! :)

Villa Montez is sort-of a Mediterranean Seafood & Steakhouse, but I’d say it was more Mexican! The food was very good, and it’s a beautiful place, but who in their right mind sits a party OUTside in Texas in the middle of June?! Thank goodness for fans & frozen drinks, or this fat chick wouldn’t have made it!

Ambo and her {YUMMY} too cute cake!

love the lights!

So glad we could celebrate with you Amber, Happy 30th! That night Brennan also played his 2nd game of the tournament, which they WON, and Matt and I MISSED it! (I missed a T-ball game!!!) :)

Sunday was Father’s day, and after completing this masterpiece..

check out those LAYERS people! :)

Matt and I headed to Cody & Mel’s to celebrate Poppa’s day with Big Poppa, Sammy & Jennifer, Andy & fam, and Aaron & his friend Tanya. We dined on hamburgers and hotdogs, chili, casey’s famous mac & cheese, nannar pudding, 5 layer delight, and homemade blackberry ice cream!! :)

The Dad’s!

Brennan & Addi were ALL about their CaCa and Uncle Matt this day, and let’s face it folk’s..now a days, this is a RARE occasion..so, photo-op! :)

Next is the kids father’s day cards to Cody..all he wanted was a full day of uninterrupted naps and golf..I think he got his wish, but the cards were too cute not to share!

    This was Brennan’s 5th attempt at making a card, he wanted it perfect (hmm, wonder where he gets that from?!)  unfortunately for him, his momma was having nothing more to do with it at 10pm, so this is what Cody got! Translation: Things I love about dad: He plays the wii with me. Dad loves me and I love him! :)

This was Addi’s, Mel asked her what she loved about dad, and these were her exact words-     Things I love about Dad: 1. He gets donuts for me. 2. He takes me to school. 3. He loves me really really much. {love that one!} 4. He lays down with me (to which Mel replied, “once a month”, ha!) and again with 5. He takes me to school. :)

..and CHECK OUT this little FISH..

what a difference a little fall, winter, and Spring can do!!! Who knew?!

A little after 4ish, Matt and I packed up and moved to Mikki’s to spend the remainder of the evening with the Funder5, Jerry & Gigi, and MeeMaw & PawPaw to celebrate PawPaw’s father’s day!

Mattie & his daddy watching Tiger lose!

After The Open, we all headed out to the pool to play a little pool volleyball.. talk about some fun!! Can’t wait for many a more games, I need to get my practice on before though!! :)

This week has slowed down a little, and I’ve got alot accomplished, seeing as how I’ve been solo! Monday I attended Brennan’s LAST T-ball game, oh how bitter sweet! Pittsburg handed it to them, and alas ended the season, better luck next year Diana..on to coach pitch! :)

             

Wondering why I’m solo? Well.. my wonderful, sweet, loving, caring hubby (can you tell I’m buttering him up) decided once again, to give the “2nd job thing” another try.  So it’s back to waiting tables and cutting out some debt, furthering the American Dream of home ownership and family expansion! :) Good luck Mattie, I’m so proud of you for sucking it up! I promise to uphold my end of the “housewife” bargain!! xoxo

Until Next Time!!
