Silly Saturday

When Mommy went out of town last weekend, Gigi and Grumpy declared it Silly Saturday and took the girls on an adventure.  The adventure consisted of costume modeling...

Fun time at the Library...

And Aunt Melissa time...

Complete with Manicures and Pedicures!

And some art time.

What a fun day!  I just hope the girls don't think EVERY Saturday is supposed to be so "silly!"  I don't know if I can duplicate this day.

Girls Beach Trip!

I had a truly fabulous weekend, courtesy of these precious ladies.  We went to the Hogues' condo in Orange Beach and laughed until our stomachs hurt. 

 I got a little sun.  :)

These women are such a blessing to me.

I'd also like to go on record as saying my husband is fabulous too.  I came home to three children still in one piece and a CLEAN HOUSE, complete with folded--and put away!--laundry.  Thank you, honey.  This weekend was the end (I hope) of my survival mode of late, as it was a restful time away with plenty of fun.

Headfest

After the Cookeville Fun Fest on Friday night, we enjoyed a Head mini-reunion, with Gary and Karyon, Chuck and Sandie, and Bobby and Dina. What a fun day together.

 

Fall Fun Fest

We attended the Cookeville Fall Fun Fest a couple of weeks ago and had a blast.

 Loving on Avery

 Eating and LOVING corn on the cob

 First Funnel Cake!

 Bouncy House Fun

Fall Fun Fest also included a 5K, which Daddy, Juju, and JonJon ran on Saturday morning.  We were the very encouraging, doughnut-eating cheering section.

 Our Runners

Happy Birthday Uncle Gray!

 

 

Swimming with the Josephs

Our sweet friends the Josephs invited us over for a swim a couple of weekends ago.  The weather was great, and the company was even better.  As you can see, the baby pool was a hit (and it wasn't even lukewarm like most yucky baby pools--yay!).

Loving on Our Cousins

I've been in "survival mode" for the past few weeks for a variety of reasons.  Sadly, survival mode does not entaiil a lot of blogging.  But I'm Ba-ack!  And with lots of (old) pictures to post!  Hang on to your hats!

Legacy

This is the back seat of my van.  This picture is for my grandfather, whose cars are always immaculate, and who once exclaimed while on a road trip with a 5 year old me, "Traveling with Anita is like traveling with pigpen!  You open the van door, and papers fly everywhere!"

Questionable Judgment

Sara, matter-of-factly:  I'm gonna marry Tripp today.


Yep, the same Tripp who "freaks out," per our earlier conversation.  So she doesn't make the best decisions--at least I know this early.
