Whew..What a Weekend!

This weekend was such a whirl-wind...But totally in a good way!

Friday: I woke up kinda late with the dreaded chore of cleaning on my mind.  Ugh...I hate cleaning the house when I let it get completely O.O.C..(out of control)  Mom & Aunt Karen were coming up, so I put a roast on to cook all day.  Lawdy, did the day go by fast...and I was kinda sore from being on my feet all stinkin' day.

Saturday:  Mom, Aunt Karen & I got up early & headed over to Shreveport for breakfast at Another Broken Egg.  I must say...it was deeeee-lish!!  After a belly full of tomato & cheese quiche & fruit...we hit the town for a little shopping.  I hate to admit, but at 14 weeks, I don't have any clothes that fit right!!  I guess fit "right" is the key.  Luckily I got HOOKED UP with some super cute clothes!  Thanks mom!! 

Donny said he was going to take us to dinner for my birthday weekend...but when we got to the restaurant..20 of our closest friends & family were there!  I was so surprised!!  Apparently Donny high-jacked my phone in the middle of the night & stole my friends numbers.  He's so thoughtful!! :)  He's been planning this the entire month of August!  How FUNNNN!!

Saturday night we had 2 extra visitors...I don't think the trai-la has ever been so full of guests before!  My brother, Stephen & Kim came up for the occasion!  So sad to say that we only have one picture from the night...This is my bestie, Megan & Me..

Today, I have slept all day.  We got up early again, had breakfast, all my peeps left...then I had a date with the couch!  Whew...What a weekend!

5th Annual Cousin Vacation!!

Last week I was off work...and I experienced the "Cousin Vacation" for the very first time.  Every year my Mom & Nana take their grand kids, (which is my cousins kiddos) on some sort of vacation.  Typically, us older peeps aren't really invited...but this year we were.  Whoa...

The plan...
*go to Dayton Monday...be there by 3pm
*pick up Ty from Momma Mia's house
*leave Tuesday by 11am to eat lunch (very important)
*arrive at Yogi Bear Park....
Then...Let the fun begin!

The realization...
*went to Dayton...left at 3:45..arrived at 7:00pm
*mom picked Ty up since I was a year late
*left Tuesday at 11:30 am, had lunch (very important)
*sat in Houston traffic on a random Tuesday...in the middle of the day...
*delivered a gun to my Uncle Donnie...(Long story)
*Arrived at Yogi Bear Park, Waller, Tx at 2:15....couldn't get in cabin until 3!

So...that's right...I went camping on my vacation...but it was totally worth it!

Yogi Bear Park is a kids bff.  There are bike trails through the woods, a huge water slide, pools, put-put golf, a craft cabin, karaoke at night, dance competitions, movies played at an outdoor theater...just plain ole cool stuff.

...Unless its 110 degrees outside!  The kids didn't mind the weather...but us grumpy adults did!!  There is only ONE RULE on cousin vacations... DON'T COMPLAIN.    I did my best....and really think I did a great job, considering my current state.  Guess we'll see how well of a job I did...if I'm invited again!  :) 

Here are a few pics I wanted to share with yall!
