Friday Favorites

Hey Hey!  It’s Friday!  🙂

Today, I’m joining my friends, Andrea and Narci, to share my Friday Favorites.  Each Friday we blog our faves of ANYTHING, share them with you, and invite you to join us! 

This summer I invited my Missouri family to come visit us instead of us making the trek up to them.  A big group of them agreed to visit us-THANK YOU-so I’m recapping all the fun we had while they were here.

They arrived Saturday evening and I took ZERO pictures.  #bloggerfail

 Sunday morning we were all up for church.
In attendance-my sister-in-law, brother, and their two boys (on left) and my cousin (her hubby had to work) and her two girls (on right).  My parents also came, but they took the picture.  🙂

Sunday afternoon the girls all snuck away for a little shopping while the guys babysat.  Then we ordered pizza and swam to round out the night.

 Monday morning I took these four (all with mixed emotions) to basketball camp.  ha!

Then we took a family trip to the local water park.  These seven kiddos were in little kiddie heaven.

We topped off the water park fun with some Texas barbecue. 

These fishies stayed busy swimming all week!

I wish I had a little video of Miss Thing talking….her little voice is the most precious thing!

With seven littles, I was expecting some disagreements, but there weren’t many of those!  There was a lot more of this.  🙂

And this.  🙂

These two boys are so silly.

Aunt Kelly and Ebby Lee 🙂

Nixon did a flip off the diving board.  I was impressed!

Tuesday evening we did some big family group pictures with Mrs. Narci.

Mrs. Narci has ALL kinds of tricks and Paxton was totally into each and every one.

And in this family, we totally bribe good smiles with ice cream.  #worthit

I sat beside this cutie.

We ended the night with a bike ride/walk around the neighborhood.

T-Nonnie is also known as the “Grandmother of Games”.

Wednesday was LEGOLAND!  This boy was excited!



 A couple got chosen from our group to help her “make” the legos.

 A pretty good selfie considering we were also shooting dragons to save the lego princess at the SAME TIME!

Ebby Lee had a FAST car on this ride.

Nixon did NOT.  He was laughing every time he drove by.

I hung out with these shorties while everyone else rode the other ride.

This kid is too cool.

The 4-D movie was cute too!  And thanks Whitney for the photobomb!  ha!

These two had a great time hanging out this week.





 We made one last loop around Legoland to hit everyone’s favorite things before heading home.

 So glad my brother and his sweet family came to visit!


We ended their trip the ONLY way-with MEXICAN food, of course.  🙂

And a quick stop at M’s house…

to visit her craft room.

While we were over there, I spotted this picture of Gary (Tab’s dad).  Does it look like anyone you know?

I think it kind of looks like this guy…
What do you think??

Our people all left yesterday, so today we’re resting up to celebrate this weekend.  I hope you and your family celebrate the freedom we have big this weekend!  Have a GREAT day! XOXO
