Oklahoma!!

This past weekend was spent in Oklahoma! Not the part where I'm from, but Oklahoma all the same!! We met up with Justin's college roommates and their families. We had so much fun, cooking, eating, watching all our kids play, swimming, and did I mention eating?? There were four couples and we had five kids under the age of 3 yrs with one on the way. To say that it was a fun, crazy weekend is an understatement!
On Friday, Justin went with Tyler to work for a little bit (he's a vet) while Jill and I let the kids played and just hung around the house. We then met the guys for lunch as well as our other friends. That night we went over to Tyler's parents' house and swam in the pool.
Saturday morning we went and let the kids ride a horse. Kendall had a blast! She took two turns and probably would have stayed on the horse all day if we had let her!! The ladies then went to town to do a little shopping while the guys put the kiddos for a nap.  Later that afternoon we rented a party boat equipped with a slide and hung out at the lake. The kids had a great time on the boat and everyone had a great time going down the slide!!

Sunday, it was time for everyone to pack up and go home. We all had so much fun, we decided that this will now be a yearly get together!! And in classic Lauren manner, I forgot my camera and only remember to take a picture with my phone during the horse riding!!

Stock Yards & the Ft. Worth Zoo

My mom and I met Melinda, Aunt Kelley, Julie, and Grandma Geneva at the Ft. Worth Stock Yards for lunch and to do a little shopping. Kendall had her picture made at the museum, and then we met for lunch at a great hamburger place. Kendall then "rode" a horse.

My mom and I then went home, while Kendall stayed a couple days with Melinda in Ft. Worth. They were to the zoo and Kendall loved seeing all the animals!

A Dear Friend's Wedding

Tonight, my mom, Kendall and I went to Dallas for my dear friend's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and Sam looked gorgeous. Kendall kept calling her a princess! It was so nice to see some of my dear friends from Texas Tech and to catch up.

Cheerleading!

For the first part of the summer, I thought I would put Kendall in a cheerleading class instead of gymnastics. I absolutely loved cheerleading growing up so I thought Kendall would too....yeah, not so much!! Kendall had a hard time listening to her coach and didn't really want to participate. Because her coach had to stop several times throughout the lesson to refocus Kendall, this heartbroken mommy thought it would be better to put Kendall back in gymnastics for the rest of the summer and next school year. Oh, well, we can always try next year!!
There were a few times, Kendall really enjoyed the class, however.....those were when they were stunting and Kendall was the flyer!

when you have a birdbath in the front yard??

Birthday Fun!

I know I use that title way to much.... Kendall and Jacob have been best friends since they were babies. I know that sounds weird, but they have!! They have been in separate schools now for a month. I think they have both adjusted, but they miss each other. Kendall was so excited to be going to Jacob's party and to play with him!!

I attempted to take more pictures of Jacob and Kendall, but they were running

around so much, my pictures turned out all blurry!

Happy 4th of July!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!!

 

Justin is on duty today, so Kendall and I thought we would make some cookies and take up to the fire station. After that, we went over to Grammy's house to hang out for a little bit. We were going to go watch the fireworks show, but it doesn't start until 10pm and that's just to late for this mommy!!

 

So I hope everyone is having a great and safe holiday!!
