We are a houseful of Mavs Fans!  Watching Game 6, getting Rowdy, Loud & Proud!

Doing the JET!

Sunday Funday (and a little work)

We have been busy trying to get the house ready to put it on the market.  We are pretty much finished with everything but there has been one daunting task that we have been putting off for months...maybe years!  Cleaning out the garage!!  Our garage is detached and we have never used it to park our cars in.  It has pretty much been storage.  We got up early this morning before it got too hot and started cleaning.  We took turns with Ashlyn and hustled during her naps to get it all organized and cleaned.  We are 95% finished and it looks so much better.  And you can actually walk around in there.  Ashlyn spent some time staying cool while we were outside by splashing around in her pool.  We also had a picnic and spent lots of time riding around in her car!  It was a nice day, outside.  Thank goodness for the breeze! 

 

Only Girls

Chance stayed home with Ashlyn so I could have a night out with my besties!  It was only fair since he got to go to game 5 and I had to stay home :(  He only got one ticket.  Anyway, had a wonderful night out with Em & Kourt and got to spend a little time with Ted.  We had a blast...as always!

Soaking up the sun!

It is so hot outside already!  I try and spend a little time each evening outside with Ashlyn when we get home from work/school.  It is too hot to go for a walk until closer to bedtime so we decided to splash around a little tonite.  Then I decided...why not just take a bath outside?  The old kill 2 birds method!  She didn't seem to mind a bit.

A fun weekend (with no photographer)

We had a great weekend, jammed packed with lots of fun!  We spent Friday evening at the grocery store :) Our new favorite Friday night activity.  We grab a glass (or bottle) of wine and wander around Whole Foods, find somethings for dinner and then eat dinner on their patio.  It is very relaxing!  Saturday morning, Ashlyn and I had brunch with Mimi and Great Grandma Sally.  We ate on her patio and enjoyed being outside before it got too warm!  Ashlyn took the longest nap of her life!  TWO and A HALF HOURS!  I couldn't believe it.  I kept checking on her!  We headed over to the Estes' for the annual "fish fry" even though there was no fried fish this year...it was blackened and grilled and delicious!  It was a lot of fun to see everyone and the kids had fun playing together.  Hopefully someone captured some pics!  We spent the night at Gpa and Gma's house Saturday night.  Sunday morning we got up and had breakfast and celebrated Gma's birthday!  We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing and swimming!  Ashlyn really enjoyed the water and I actually put her under the water for the first time.  She kind of sputtered and gasped when I pulled up her and then went back to playing.  She wasn't really phased.  The 2nd time she coughed and sneezed and I actually saw water shoot out of her nose.  I felt pretty bad but she didn't seem to mind.  She burped a few minutes later so I guess she swallowed a little!  We headed home after a quick dip after her afternoon nap.  Gma and Aunt Sarah came over to babysit Ashlyn so Chance and I could go to the Mav's game.  We won't talk about the results, but we had a good time!  Sorry there are no photos to go along with this post!  It was a great weekend.

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day this year was a little different than last year!  Last year we were "rooming in" at the NICU getting prepared to bring Ashlyn home the next day!  This year we spent the weekend outside, hanging out with friends and family, swimming and cooking out!  We started the weekend out in Arlington at Gpa and Gma's house.  Ashlyn loved the pool and was perfectly content floating around in her lady bug!  Gpa grilled out tons of food!  We spent the night because Chance and I were planning on having a date night once we put Ashlyn to bed, but we were both too full and tired!  

Sunday afternoon the Ivies came over to play and cookout.  Emma, Ashlyn and Ryan had fun playing in the pool and playing in Ashlyn's room with all of her books and toys.  We cooked out and our bartender (Chris) whipped up some mean margaritas!  We had a great time.

I had to work on Monday, but got off a little early.  Ashlyn and Chance got to stay home and relax!  That evening we went over to the Garrett's house like old times!  We have spent a lot of Garrett/Wimberly holidays together!  We hung out outside and ate one of the best salads I have ever had!    It was a busy, but wonderful weekend!  Happy Memorial Day!
