Indian Camp Creek

This morning Mason and I met Kelly and the boys at the creek to help catch crawdads, splash around, and explore. It is so neat to watch Mason learn from his older cousins! We will be returning soon and taking Daddy with us!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my awesome Dad and to my husband who is such a great Dad to Mason! Hope you enjoyed your day yesterday and thanks for being the best role model for our son. We are so lucky to have you!

Girls Night Out

Saturday night Dawn, Ali, and I went to see Tim McGraw...and had the best time ever!!! Dawn's awesome husband surprised her with 3 tickets and I was lucky enough to be invited! We started the night on Main Street with a yummy dinner and a bottle of wine, then headed over to Verizon where there was lots of laughing, singing, and dancing. The weather was great and Tim did an amazing performance.

Thanks Dawn for the tickets and thanks girls for such a fun night out.

Fun Sunday with Friends

The Meyerott and Murchison family came over for swimming and a Mexican fiesta on Sunday. We spent the afternoon playing in the backyard with the sprinkler beach ball, then headed to the pool. Times have sure changed...it took us 30 minutes just to get everyone ready and sun screened up to go! After the pool our neighborhood was having a block party with popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy, and lots of music. We made a quick stop there and then went back to the house for chicken enchiladas and yummy margaritas!

Memorial Day Weekend

Welcome to Paradise Pointe! Over the holiday we headed to Table Rock Lake with friends and had a blast! We ate, boated, swam, relaxed, tubed, and shopped our weekend away. This condo is great, I highly recommend it to anyone traveling there. This was Mason's second time on the boat (we came down here last year as well...Mason was only 2.5 months old!!) and just like the first he slept through all day on the lake. We went to "the strip" in Branson which we had never been to and ate dinner there and shopped Saturday night. Sunday we spent the morning at the pool and that evening the guys made a delicious steak dinner. Later that night we headed over to Big Cedar to watch the fireworks and Mason managed to stay awake for those. It was nice to get away and enjoy great weather on a beautiful lake. We can't wait to go back!
