Fun filled birthday weekend

This weekend we all went to Dallas to celebrate Alex and Isaacs birthdays. Isaac turned 2 today and Alex will be 5 in July. Tim & Sarah decided to just combine their birthdays into one big party. They  moved to a new house, not too long ago, that has a pool so they decided to have a Monster themed pool party!

Mom, Dad, Chris, Charlee, me, Mamaw Evans, Mamaw Meador, Uncle Danny, Nancy, Amber, Brad and Davis all came for the party. Combine that with Sarahs family, and we had a loud, full, fun weekend! We all stayed at the same hotel so Saturday morning we started with breakfast in the hotel


We then all headed over to Tim & Sarahs for the party. I didnt get too many pictures of the actual party, because I was a little busy keeping up with Charlee in the pool. It took her a little while to get going, but she had a good time...even though her floaties wouldnt hold her up and I had to hold her the enitre time =)










All the little body parts were magnets the kids could move around to make Alex & Isaac into Monsters







Enjoying the shade....it was HOT!!

The party turned out great and everyone had a good time! It ended about 1:30, but we ended up having a family pool party...ordering pizza and swimming until about 4:00. Chris and I are burnt like lobsters, but other than that it was a lot of fun =).

After having no nap and a day full of sun, this was Charlee on the way back to the hotel Saturday evening. She stayed asleep after we got to the hotel, while I carried her to the room, and put her on her couch bed where she napped until time for dinner. 

Tim & Sarah had another birthday party that night to go to so the rest of us went to Saltgrass for dinner.  Charlee and Davis were exhausted, but were so good! We had a short wait, a great waitress, and a great dinner!



This morning we loaded up and headed back to Tim & Sarahs for a Fathers Day Brunch.
*I am so thankful for Charlee's AWESOME daddy! He is so sweet and great with her and we are both very lucky to have him! I cant imagine raising her with anyone else! He is the perfect hubby/daddy for us*

After brunch, we all loaded up and headed home =( It was such a great weekend with family, and it was fun to be together for something besides a big holiday (christmas/thanskgiving)! Im so thankful for a big family that spends time together, has fun together, and will travel hours for a fun bday party weekend! LOVE YOU ALL!!

 Charlee made it all the way to Dallas without a nap, but we were sure she would sleep a good bit coming home after such a full weekend....NOT! She was great though and just talked and played with her toys.



Back to our summer routine this week.....sidenote ::: I am so ready for school to start back! Charlee and I miss our normal routine!

Library Day!

Today we decided to venture to the Library for Story hour. When we were pulling up and told Alex where we were, his response was...."this cant be the Library, this is small!!". I guess things really are always bigger in Texas =)
Momma! Dont take our picture!
& yes, she does have on shorts =)
The story hour was MUCH busier than mom and I thought it would be.  Charlee and Isaac made it through 1 story, and Alex lasted through 2 =) They did have a good time though and Charlee wants to go back again!


After we left the Library we went to lunch @ Arbys (Charlee's request) and then headed to the hospital to see Mamaw Meador at work and get some candy! Amazingly, they didn't break one thing while we were there =)
Alex has some GOOFY smiles
We then headed to Grammys so Isaac could nap and Charlee could play with Alex for a bit before heading home for her nap. They were on Grammys bed watching TV and were so cute! Alex didnt mind at all that Charlee wanted to use him as a pillow!


This evening, mom cooked spaghetti and Mamaw Evans came over for dinner. Isaac and I were playing and he let me play with his hair! I was surprised he actually left this in there until he had to go to bed =)

Seriously..how cute are these two?! They have had a GREAT time playing together this week!Charlee may try to hide out somewhere in their house this weekend so she can stay in Dallas with them =)


It's almsot birthday party time in Dallas!! We cant wait!!
