Crazy, Busy Weekend

Like the title says, we had one crazy, busy weekend!!! On Friday, Conn played in the church golf tournament all day and had a wedding rehearsal. Right as he walked in the door, we loaded up the girls and headed to the very fun drive-in movie theater in Tomball with 6 other families. We had a BLAST!!!! Even though we didn't make it through even the first movie (there are double features - way to go O'Quinn's, who made it through both). We ate good ole' movie food and the kids ran around and played until the movie started. A freak-of-nature cold front came in that night, for the month of May (below 60), so that is why we are bundled up. If you haven't made it out there yet, you should. It is a fun experience! Just be prepared for a late night. We will definitely be back!!

On Saturday, Conn had an event at church all morning and preformed a wedding in the afternoon. I took the girls to TWO birthday parties. A gymnastics party and a sand party. If you have young children, you understand that this is always a fun experience as a "single" parent. HaHa!! They did great (despite no naps) and we had a wonderful time! We then made it just in time for Sat. night church. Woohoo for childcare! :o)

Now, here I sit, and it is already Sunday! WOW!!! Today, the girls and I hung out and waited until daddy got home from church. We loaded up...AGAIN, and drove out to Kingwood to spend time at Conn's brothers house and have a cookout with the whole family. We had a great time and laughed like crazy, as we always do, when Conn and Kap are together. The kids kept us highly entertained "attempting" to use the slip-n-slide!!! So funny!! :o)

We LOVE our crazy, busy life!!! Hope you all had a glorious weekend!!! Bring on SUMMER!!! Enjoy the pics!!!!

Marler Birthday Festivities

This past weekend, we not only celebrated Mother's Day, but also two family birthday's. Mammy's (my mom) and my brother, Dustin. Their birthday's are only a day apart. We had a fish fry here at the good ole' McWhorter party house. My dad fly-fishes a lot, and had been stocking up for this event. It was fantastic! Always fun times when the whole fam is able to get together!
