Weekend Recap!

Weekend, oh glorious weekend...

Where did you go?

How quickly you're gone.

How you do it, I'll never know!

There was a school dance and a car show

and a Wheel of Fortune attempt

lots of fun and laughter

while the boys made a GINORMOUS tent!

We had lunch on the patio

at one of our favorite eating spots

celebrated a little family birthday

with presents, cake and ice cream...of which we had a lot!

Pop and Grandma were in town

and came over for a bit,

Ryan grilled out delicious steaks

and around the family table we did sit.

It was all about our family

from beginning to the end

Always looking forward to the next time

when we can do it all over again!

Father and son heading to the school dance.  Be still my heart...handsome boys...Ryan said he saw Trysten about every 10 minutes as he would zooooom past him running around with his friends!

I opened up the freezer on Saturday morning, and this is what I found:

and this:

and this:

Not sure what the fascination was with freezing their toys, but it went on all.weekend.long.

Oh, I forgot this one...What?!!

We decided to go to the Dallas Auto Show, before the Wheel of Fortune auditions, located in the same building, and the boys...including Ryan...were in their element among all the engines, tires and testosterone:

Preston and Trysten picked out their favorites:

So did Ryan:

One day, baby! I promise! I must say, my man looked pretty hot sitting in his dream car!=)

The boys learned about all the available types of energy sources...fossil fuels, renewable resources and nuclear resources...

so they could:

Having a blast!

So....the story on the Wheel...After wandering around steel and tires for a few hours, we walked down to the auditions...along with EVERYONE else in America.  Once in line, we discovered the wait was going to be 2 hours...so Ryan and I debated whether to subject the little guys to 2 hours of this....

and this...

We put our excitement aside, took one for the team, and decided not to torture their anxious, active, hyper little souls.  One of the crew assured us a return next year, so Ryan and I felt better about leaving and decided next time would be sans children...for their sake and ours!  We left and drove straight to Gloria's for cerviche, a margarita...only for the adults...enchiladas and chicken fingers out on the patio! Heaven!

Sunday was another busy day beginning with a belated birthday celebration for my neice, Addyson!  Here she is with her daddy, my brother!

 My newest neice, Alexis...sweet baby girl!

 My mother and the teenager!

 My sis-in-law and friend, Jennifer...love her!

The lovebirds =)

Later that evening, Pop and Grandma, who were in town from New York, came over for dinner.  We miss them so much and cannot wait for them to move back!  One tradition we have with them is eating artichoke with melted butter...Yum! The boys devoured it!

Silly boys!

What a fun filled family weekend!
Happy Monday!!!
