Memorial Day Weekend

Friday afternoon we headed up to the lake to have all kinds of fun in the sun.  The kids immediately got changed into their swimsuits and went out back to play.

This little girl loves everything about the lakehouse.  And so does her mama!

We kicked off the festivities by setting up the slip n' slide.  Jackson barreled down it a few times...

whereas Maddie was much more cautious and actually stalled out about halfway down it.  There were a couple of minor injuries shortly thereafter...

and the kids decided they liked this part of the slip n' slide much better.

Monkey see, Monkey do.

"Big brother is so cool!  This is awesome, Jackson!"

The next morning, we took Aunt Glenda over to see the Ranch.  It was her first time there and she thought it was beautiful.  Right after we arrived, we went over to say hello to the horses.  They really appreciated the Nilla Wafers that we brought just for this meet-and-greet.  We rode all around the ranch and by lunch time we were sweaty and ready for some food.  After we got back to the lake and ate a little bit, we were ready to hit the water!



First time on the lake in 2012.  Yay!



Sweet girl was out about 5 minutes into the ride and slept the entire time:)

She even slept through these two ninnies jumping off the boat and squealing when they hit the water. 
It was cold!

Safety Captain chose to remain in the boat, "to make sure I keep it steady, Mom."

Right before it was time to head in, Lila Lou woke up.  Good thing!  She got to have her first driving lesson from Daddy.

Of course, we always pack about 6 things into a weekend, so after spending the next morning at the beach, we cleaned up and headed back home.  We were here all of about and hour before we left for Fort Worth to attend Jared's cousin's wedding.

We had a fabulous time.  The bride looked beautiful and they did a fantastic job on the wedding and reception.

After dinner we enjoyed Paciugo and then got to have fun in the photo booth.  Both were really fun extras for any party.  After that, we boogied down on the dance floor and then called it a night. 
Jared and I were exhausted!
