Family, Swimming, Dancing, and Dogs

This past weekend was so much fun. See my previous post to see the events that took place Friday night. We had friends over until midnight (if you know us, we are usually in bed by ten... and yes, even on a Friday night!!- sad, I know)- but it was SO worth it because we had SO much fun!! Anyhoo... we had to get up at 6:30am on Saturday to go see Zach (our nephew) swim in a swim meet.

We got there at 7:20am (it was here in SA) and we were sitting with Steph waiting for the events to start and Ted and Sherry called her. They started asking questions about the meet and everything and then we discovered they were asking because they were on their way there- coming from Temple!!! So, it was a fun surprise having them show up and they ended up spending the rest of the weekend with us. Below are the pics from the swim meet.

We didn't have swim meets where I grew up... so this was so much fun to watch! They have kids from 3-4 yrs old up to 18! The little kids are cute to watch and the older kids are fun because it's a good competition!












zach's first race:


race 2: zach is in the 2nd lane from the top of the video:


Zach in his relay... he's in the far lane at the very top (he is on the board and then dives in):


After the races we were all STARVING so we went and had some lunch at The Longhorn- yummo burgers!!! After lunch we went home to shower and go to church. The family came over for dinner after church and then we sat around visiting, singing silly songs again, and listening to the Ipod.

Zach singing/doing the "chicken dance" while Autumn follows him and makes up her own moves:


Zach likes the beat to rap/hip-hop music, so we were trying to find some Christian music that has a good beat to it. Autumn likes any kind of music and loves dancing to it!

Autumn dancing to our "old school" DC Talk music from the Ipod. We busted out with the "Free At Last" Album for all of you who know what I'm talking about!:


It was a fun night!!! Then on Sunday we got up and took the dogs to the dog park.

Brily playing fetch


Landry being miss independent



Briley watching the other dogs and waiting for someone else's master to throw her a ball


Sisters playing together


This is the "mud hole" that everyone tries to keep their dogs away from in order to avoid some VERY dirty dogs!!!


It was just too hot for Briley and Landry!!! They were spread eagle into the cool water/mud hole!!!!


Landry is waiting patienly for someone to turn the water fountain on for her and fill up the bowl

Back at home after a bath- just chillin'


Another fun weekend with family and friends!!!
