Weeks of Fun

The past two weeks have been so busy. Here are a few snaphots:

One day was craft day. I've been doing a Bible study with one of our youth and it was the last day of the study so I planned a little project for us to do to end the study.

Then Brent decided he needed to push a dead tree down in our yard!

Ready! Set! Down!

Then my family took a day-trip to Auburn. When Mike and Britt arrive to pick us up, they both got out of the car and shut the doors, when Britt went to open Destin's door - the car had locked itself! Thankfully the car was still running with the AC on. Fortunately this car has OnStar. My parents left the day before, so Brent called my parents - to get a pin number while Mike called OnStar - in a matter of five minutes OnStar unlocked the car - from wherever they were! Sometimes you've got to love technology! Once that fiasco was over we were on our way!

It was a fun day. Since part of my childhood was spent in Auburn, it felt like going home for me.

We hiked to the rock to take a family pic, visited an old neighbor, and walked around the campus.

Destin waiting calmly for the door to open - thank goodness he likes to play peek-a-boo!

Everyone needs 2 passies! haha

(i don't have the picture with my mom and dad in it)

So that was week 1, the last week and half of April, this was a quick catch up!

Week 2 is last week which was DNow - this was a fabulous weekend! Pics to come - I'm about to have to head to church - maybe one day I will be caught up.

Speaking of catching up - Christy I think that I am not the only one in need of updating her blog!!!!! LOL haha.......

Weekend in Arkansas

This past weekend I went to Arkansas with my friend Sandra. We visited a couple from our college days at UM. Summer and Nathan. We had such a fun time. After a long 6.5 hour drive to North West Arkansas, we finally arrived! Saturday, we slept in and ate a little place called "The Crumpett" a cute little tea room. They have great food! Then we shopped a little bit in an outdoor mall and then got a tour thru old Bentonville. We got to see the original Wal-Mart!!! It was really exciting!!! It is a muesum now. Mr. Walton's truck is also inside, Summer said that it used to sit outside, but people were trying to steal it, so they had to move it inside! Can you believe it?!? Saturday night we watched AU/LSU game. It was a sad day in football for a lot of people, except for Alabama! Sunday we went to their church and then left after lunch.
After another incredibly long ride back, I said a few word i never thought I would say, "It's so nice to see Texas!" I know I can't believe it either, but when you drive FOREVER through Oklahoma with terrible drivers on the road...you would say the same thing! Sandra and I have decided that Oklahoma is the most boring place in the world! It will make you wish you were almost anywhere, but Oklahoma! Our friend Jen, is from there and we just had to call and asked how in the world she ever made it in that state! Still, it was great to get away from everything a unwind and relax. Brent even went to Mississippi to see his parents! He had a great time too! Sonya got a 91 inch couch and Brent was so sad that he couldn't bring it to our apartment! Our couch is like 2 inchs compared to Sonya's new one!!
