Fun, Family Holiday Weekend

Our weekend started out Friday night with Allie's (my step-daughter)recital at the Julie Rogers Theater! It was so very cute to see her in her outfit and the all make-up! She is so pretty and I am so happy she is in our lives. If you want to see picutes, Go to my facebook! :) After she danced we stayed and watched a few more dances, because I really miss dance and being involved in that. At intermission, we got Allie from her mommy backstage and took her to dinner to celebrate!! After Casa Ole we went straight to bed because we were getting up super early for Schlitterbahn! We left our house at around 6:45 and headed to meet my inlaws at their house. We left at about 7 and got to the ferry line at around 8ish! We had forgoten a few things and tried to stop at Wal-mart on the seawall, Bad idea! There was at least 20 people waiting in each line so we just left! We just got ice somewhere else and made the girls wear life jackets! :) We really had so very much fun at Schlitterbahn!! There is a lot for them and us to do as a family and mainly I enjoyed relaxing in the lazy river! We didn't get home untill late because, as always, the ferry line to go home was crazy! We will be going back at least one more time this summer.

On Sunday we got up late, missed church, and got everyone ready to go run the roads. We went to several furniture places looking for some things for our new home. We are needing a coffee table, TV stand, bar stools, a bed, dresser, and night stands. After a few places we ended up at Hadley's furniture and found everything we were looking for, for great prices! We will deffinatly be back there as soon as they get close to being done with our home! After a sweet treat at Great American cookie company, we got the girls home for bath and bed. That is quickly becoming my favorite time of the day!

For Memorial Day we went over to our house(in progress) and had a BBQ with family and friends. It was a lot of fun and the roasted corn was AMAZING! ohh and I cleaned off the slab from all the rain we had gotten the day before. There was tons of leaves and things on there. I sat down on what will be our back porch, and it hit me... This is ours! It was pretty exciting and emotional! After being outside almost all day, we went to my cousins for swimming and pizza! :) Also, my wonderful hubby made toasted marshmellow milkshakes for dessert, YUMMY! :) It was a great weekend and a great start to summer!
