I've Been A Little Busy.... Snicker

 So thinks are going great down here in Texas. I spent about three hours today attempting to "tan" the sports bra tan I have going on thanks to softball session! And I learned a huge lesson today as well, if you allow your twelve year old and her bff to pick out your swimsuit, you'll end up with a hot pink and black number that you'll never wear in public. Hello!

And while I was sunning myself, the children were working on their gil breathing skills. Nothing beats the 100 degree heat like the pool!

But we started our day by making homemade apple fritters. I love having B's kids over because they love all my favorite things: cooking, movies, and swimming. Such easy kids. Although trailing through Academy with four little girls today was quite the production.

This explains why B's littlest was sooooooooooooooo hyper.... random handfuls of powered sugar. Bustest littlest B.

 This was after I busted her snitching the apples as I cut them, this again explains why I had to keep cutting more apples.

So the kids and I spent some time with my fabulous family this past week. Me for the weekend and the kids for the entire week (their pics coming soon). Here is Prin with the littlest family member. Prin is truly babysitter material as they just gravitate to her!

 Duch is schooling the grownups on dominoes! Hello!

 The only picture I have in twenty something years of my fav uncle!

Cousins! Sunning themselves in the yard.

 My baby! Posing during the family luncheon!

 Me and my Nanny, the coolest, classiest person on earth. Who pointed out that my tan line was tacky! lol.... hey, I'm working on it. But also note that "she who never wears a dress" wore a dress for Sunday service at the fam's small town church which was so lovely......... good service. Especially since my roughneck cousin who I never ever thought would accept The Lord much less join me at church and sit next to me sharing a bible was there! He rocks!

And while everyone else had the bestest pizza on earth, I had chinese from the buffet across the road, smuggled in under my shirt.

 The newest family member, Landry, will be here soon.... and after this shot I found out the reason for her face was the airvent she was standing over, lol.

Being in my hometown I got to revisit something that floored me. As a high schooler I didn't get out and do much but school dances was the one thing I always got to attend, until 10 pm that is, lol. So when I was golfing next to the building where they were held, I had to see. I held my breath and opened the door that wasn't locked shocker! It not only looked exactly the same before we'd decorate it, but it smelled the same too. Those dances were a small part of normalcy and good memories of my childhood so I sniffled and sniffled as I did a quick walk (and don't tell anyone but dance) down memory lane.


 Then I took over control of the golf cart.

 Shopping with my Nanny! Who waited patiently for 45 minutes after my golf outting so I could get presentable before going to Wal-Mart. lol

 My girls hamming it up!

 See, proof I now own a dress that has not been worn to a wedding!

 Went running each morning back home, this is my favorite run. Around the lake in town, watching the ducks, turtles and deer hang out.

 Watched the boys show little man how to get in trouble by playing ball in the house!

 My aunt trying on my newest sunglasses. I sat on the others, again.

 The ladies, only minus my momma, who is in the process of relocating from OOOOOOtah to only 2 hours from me!

And lastly, my mugshot. Turns out thanks to the new security system, I have to have a new security badge. This is one of the four shots they took for my badge, seems I have a horrible blink habit.
