Weekend

Lets see how do we want to start this post....there is so much to say!! Friday when I got to Mom and Dad's to get Braden there was so much going on that some how my keys got locked in the car. I have a spare but it was locked in the car too. I know not smart!! Well I get the phone and I call Chase, my neighbor who is a mechanic to see if he knew anyway that I can get in the car. Well at this time I see that my lights are on and my radio is going full blast. Chase did not answer the first time so I am calling everyone I know to see if they can get me in my car. I get Chase on the phone and he says "where are you?" I tell him I am in Denton and he said "tell me where I will come and get you in the car." At this point I am telling him NO stay home I can pay a locksmith do not come all the way here. I gave the phone to his fiance (FeFe) to get directions. Sure enough they came to Denton. Chase got my car open and jumped my battery and I was off to McKinney. I love my neighbors!!! THEY ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once I was home I had sushi dinner with Carrie and had a great time. We talked and relaxed and just had a good time. Jay showed about about a quarter to 10:00 and I left them alone and I went home.

Saturday morning was Braden's last game. He had a good time and the weather was perfect. He got a trophy and we discussed the end of year party for kids that will be this Wednesday. Braden was not the best at blast ball it was to slow paced for him so I think we will try something else in the spring. After the game we had a little end of year family party at the house of Havis. After that Braden and I went home for some down time and a bath. Steve got home a little before 6 and we headed to Denton to see my Aunt and Cousin who were in town for the weekend. What a great time we had talking and laughing and eating. It is not often that we get to see them so it was a really treat. Braden of course showed off and did hid cutest acts to impress them. We head home and we were all fast a sleep by 10:30.

Sunday we got up and had a nice breakfast and then headed to the pumpkin patch. Braden had such a good time he feed the animals, rode the train and took a hay ride. We took some food and had a nice lunch out there and just spent some time just the 3 of us. I will attache some pictures at the end of the blog. We were home in time to get the Cowboys game on. Mom and Dad came up for dinner and we had a great time. Of course the Cowboys lost but oh well there is next Sunday. My neighbors were all out so Braden and I went to say good night to everyone and then in for bath a few minutes on a movie and then off to bed.

So it was a great weekend and I think that one of the key factors was that:

UT BEAT OU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So with that I will leave you with some pictures:

Long time

Ok I am now putting myself on the "Oh my gosh can you please give us an update" list. I hear people say it all the time and I am starting to get bad. So here is what we have been up to.

Braden has been playing blast ball every Saturday. That takes up most of our Saturday morning. In the afternoon we hang out in Denton for while eat some lunch and then head back home. Once we are home we get settled in and then get ready for the Brookridge Saturday night. Sundays are nothing but FOOTBALL!!! All day long. So I have been planning things for me to do so that I can get out of the house and not watch it as much.

This past Sunday Clara and I had lunch with our friends from Round Rock. Susan, Chris, Ryan, and baby Lucy not out of Susan's tummy yet. Owen was at the fair with his grandparents. What a great talk we had. Ryan is so cute and just loved every second with him, i hate that i am not closer to them........And how excited are we for baby Lucy. After lunch Clara, Susan and I walked the West Village had the best Italian ice cream ever!!!! Not to mention the best people watching ever. IF you live in the Dallas ares you MUST go to West Village and eat and walk and shop and WATCH!!!

My Aunt and Cousin are coming in this weekend so we are getting ready for them. We are making the fall plans, Boo Zoo, pumpkin patch and ton of other things. Halloween is on a Friday this year so I am sure we will be doing something fun.
Check back for pictures, I promise I will get some on here soon.
