Cousin-Packed Weekend!

 Uncle Cody brought Ethan, Owen and Henry for a visit this past weekend. 

We had to eat at Rosa's Friday night since it's a favorite of all of ours. 

The kids ran to watch the tortilla machine.  :)

 Uncle Cody took Ethan to their Cousin Lexie's graduation ceremony after dinner and we kept Owen and Henry. We went on a long walk around the neighborhood.

And then played out back for a long time.

Aunt Shelle and the other Uncle Cody were in the neighborhood so they stopped by for a visit too.

Saturday morning we had donuts then headed to the park.

The weather was nice and cool.

For lunch we went to Blue Sky.

The kids loved the sandbox after lunch and the guys loved watching the golf course behind the restaurant.  I guess that's the next best to thing to actually golfing yourself!

After a quick rest, we met Uncle Cody and the boys at Lexie's Graduation dinner out at Cagle's.

The swings were a BIG hit with the kids.

And the guys loved playing horseshoes.

Again, it was a perfect evening to be outside!

Madi made friends quickly and then was pretty sad when it was time to leave.

I wasn't able to get a picture with Lexie but she was beautiful as always!  It was a great evening celebrating her high school graduation.

Busy Week

 Our Memorial Day was nice and relaxing. 

We spent the afternoon at the pool after Matt played golf in the morning.

That evening we made quesadillas and fresh salsa.  

Yum!

 Tuesday morning I needed to visit with a principal at a high school so I sent this cutie to her Aunt Shelle's house for a few hours. 

 She came back all tattooed up!

 3 in all!

Daddy wasn't too happy but they all were gone by bath time that night.

 Right after I picked her up from Shelle's house we grabbed Villa for lunch and headed to Matt's school to have lunch with him.

 It was a fun time since usually she's in school when I take Matt lunch.

 Wednesday was a busy, busy errand day.  

We were all over town running different errands and crossing things off my to-do list! 

First up, Clay Cafe to make Daddy's annual Father's Day mug.

 Madi picked out all the colors herself and did all the painting.

 It turned out really cute and she even wrote "Madi's Daddy" and "2013" this time.

 After a few stops in the mall we had to ride the escalator in Barnes & Noble. 

 That night Shelle and the kids came over for spaghetti and hair cuts.  

First we made a stop at Cup of Yo!

 This cutie is a MESS!

 She kept backing into Uncle Matt and holding on to his fingers so he'd "jump" her in the air.

 She went pretty high!

 Madi didn't want to be left out so she wanted her turn to jump too.

Poor thing didn't get the same height as Maci did. 

 Thursday morning we cleaned out the garage, patio and went to the car wash.  

Then Bianca called and asked us to meet her and Allison at Chuck E. Cheese to play and for lunch.

 The girls had so much fun!

Then we headed to PetsMart for Grandma Mayberry.

 And of course while we were there we had to visit all the different animals. 

The doggy day camp is my favorite part!

Friday we went to Clare's house for play group after my quick meeting.

 These girls were dressed up the whole time!

Pool Time!

Before church on Sunday Madi just had to try on her swimsuit for the pool that afternoon. 

Daddy's dress shoes are optional! 

Dance Recital 2013

 Dress Rehearsal Time!

 All ready to go backstage! 

 One last picture before they all lined up.

 The rehearsal is laid back so I took a couple of pictures of her on stage.

 They go through their dance two times then we head home.

 We were free on Friday and then Saturday morning we were back to the coliseum for Dance Recital Take 1.

 We usually have to wait quite a while backstage so we got there a little later Saturday morning. 

 We barely had time to get her dressed and then they were lining up.  Too close for this momma!

 I had to snap one more pic during the performance. 

 Right after her morning recital.

We were outside waiting on the rest of the family. 

 Here they come . . .

 She ran straight to Grandma Heider and jumped into her arms!  It as precious!

 With Mommy & Daddy

She loves getting flowers from her Daddy!

 We all met at our house for lunch right after the morning recital.  

We had such a good time eating and visiting that I didn't take any pictures except this one as we were eating ice cream cake. 

 We arrived with a little more prep time for the evening performance Saturday night. 

Emery, Madison & Jenna

Both these girls are also in her Sunday school class. 

 Madison and Brinkley were too cute practicing their dance moves.

 There were serious about practicing!  They went through the whole thing!

 One quick pic with her flowers Sunday morning before church. 

Another great dance recital weekend!
