Ride 'em cowboy

Saturday we went to West Plains for a family reunion/camping trip. It was sooooooooooo stinkin' hot, but all the kids had a blast playing with the water and riding horses. Here is Trey with our cousin Rick.

My dad (aka Grandad) helps Trey on the horse.

Trey loved riding the horses! Here he actually got to guide the horse all by himself! We may have a future cowboy here!

The Lake

We made it to the lake this weekend. We stayed the night Sat. night with our friends Chris and Lisa. Headed out on the boat Sat. afternoon. Sunday was a little iffy with the weather, but the sun finally peeked out and we went out again for a few hours. It was Lexi's first time to go to the lake. She really seemed to like it! Trey has been there before and absolutely loves it!

Trey had a blast jumping off the back of the boat. He was a little upset that we didn't have time to get our tube. He LOVES to go tubing!

Snack Break

Finally

It seems like forever since my last post. I have been busy getting our house ready to put on the market. It is now officially for sale. We have an open house this Sunday so I've been trying to do a few last minute things to help it look nice.

I've also spent my time finishing the Twilight series. I finally thought I was through until my friend, Sundi, enlightened me with the information that another partial book is on the internet. Will this never end?!?!? Apparently this book is the Twilight book but told from Edward's point of view instead of Bella's viewpoint. It is not even a whole book, but I'm already sucked in (no pun intended) to reading it. I guess the author was in the process of writing it when it leaked on the internet so she just published it on her website.

We are heading to the lake this weekend. It will be Lexi's first trip. Hopefully I'll remember to take pix and post them next week!

Well, Lexi had her big day on Saturday! We had a great time. Her Great Mamau and Papau were there along with her Grandma and Grandpa, Nanny and Grandad, Aunt Shannon and her cousins Kayla, Brianna, and Gabriel, her "Aunt" Julie, and her Great Aunt Tina and Great Uncle Nelson. We all enjoyed pizza for lunch. Lexi didn't like her birthday hat however, as I only got a few pictures before she yanked it off.
Lexi got a lot of wonderful gifts! Her favorite though has to be her Hello Kitty purse that her "Aunt" Julie got for her. She carried that purse around all day and would scream if you took it away from her! She would put it on her shoulder and say bye-bye. So cute! At first she wasn't to sure about the cake, but after one little taste of frosting .........
