Park, Surprise Parade, Happy Hour, & Movie

Here are some of the highlights from this weekend.
My little sister, Tasha was in town. We went shopping and got matching sandals and sunglasses (different colors tho), cause we're cool like that.

We took the kids to the park.

This is Bella, my niece.
 
I played too.

Cheyenne got carried away swinging.

Things got real crazy at the park. This girl knows how to have fun. Take notes, people.

We went to the Stockyards and by total accident, made it to the St. Patricks Day Parade. Afterwards, we stopped by the petting zoo.

Oh, Friday night we took Tasha and Bella to one of our favorite restaurants, Chuy's. Did you know that Happy Hour is Monday thru Friday from 4 - 7 pm? They have a nacho bar during their happy hour and get this, it's FREE. Say, WHAT????? If you knew about this, we are not friends anymore because you did not share this information with me. For reals, though! We made it right in time before happy hour ended. SCORE.

Trey drove the scooter to Chuy's and met us there since our car can only seat four people. I know, more ammunition for Trey and his case to convince me we need a new vehicle. LALALA, I'm not listening, ELEMENT for life!

Last night, Trey stayed at home with the kids, while Tasha and I went to the Movie Tavern to watch Project X. It was nice getting out with just her, thanks TREY! So, that was our weekend with my sister and niece.

Mommy Daughter Summer Date

Saturday, Trey spent the entire day working.
I could've stayed home all day, but I  decided to take Cheyenne out on the town.

We packed our lunch and had a picnic at Trinity Park.

She had deli meat, cheese, cherry tomatoes and a banana. She hardly touched her food, she was too anxious to play.

MOM! Do I have to eat? I'd rather play!!!!!!!!!

Did anyone get out Saturday in the DF dub? It was so windy!

After our windy picnic, I had to go to the bathroom. Cheyenne was extremely annoyed with me. But eventually, we made our way to the playground. This playground is the perfect size for her. We'll have to make another trip out there.

This is her party animal face!

After we had enough of that we went to the Stockyards.



She looks bothered because she had to look up from my phone and take a picture. It's hard being a toddler.





The main reason we went to the Stockyards is so we could go to the Herd's Cow Camp.

The event lasted for maybe an hour. Cowboys tell stories and they have demonstrations relative to the cattle drive era.

DFW mom's this is such a fun summer thing to do and it was only $1!

Music. Cowboy Style.

After it was all said and done we were both tired.

I'm Still in My PJs

I got in late last night and luckily my work schedule worked out to where I don't have to go in today. So, instead of working, I'm at home eating a late breakfast.

This weekend was fun. We had family from Midland stay at the house Friday and Saturday. Yep, Aunt Jari and Uncle John stayed at Anderson Hotel. Saturday evening we had a chance to spend some time with them at the Movie Tavern. We watched Step Brothers. I'm glad we had a chance to go, because Trey and I had been talking about going for weeks.

Well, Sunday we spent the day hanging out with Clint and Sarah. They moved here from Louisiana and had a friend in town visiting. They didn't know where to take her since they aren't that familiar with the area, so Trey and I sort of became their tour guides.

We ended up going to the Stockyards and Sundance Square.

This was Sarah's wonderful idea.

Stockyard Fun

We spent the evening at the stockyards, with some friends and I just had to post this.

I'm tired, so I better get some sleep. I have more pictures that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Family Cowtown Visit & Friends

My Aunt Pam, Uncle Luis, and cousin Tyler paid us a visit this weekend. We spent Saturday afternoon down at the Stockyards. They're from Port Lavaca near the coast.

After the stockyards, we made it back to the house. We ordered pizza and later Trey and Luis washed the car while Pam and I played card games on the front porch. It was great having them visit. Before they left town, this morning, we we went out to eat at Waffle House and then said our goodbyes.

After they left, Trey and I went to church. Speaking of church, things are going great there. Like I mentioned last week, we're starting to make more friends in our community as well as church. A lot of the couples that attend, live so close to us. After church, we went out to eat with a huge group and a few hours ago, I went to the dog park with a new friend, who literally lives down the street. I also meet up with Cortnee.

Well, it's been a wonderful and exhausting weekend. I'm going to sleep so good tonight.

Finally, Made it out to the Stockyards

From Stockyards

Mom and Natasha came to visit us this weekend. I wanted to do something different so we made our way down to the Stockyards.

We spent most of the day out there. We watched the cattle drive, I ate an amazing burger from Riscky's, and we took a train ride along the Trinity River.

We had a great weekend, but I think I exhausted myself. I'm still having morning sickness off and on all day long. I think I just hit the 12 week hill in my pregnancy, when morning sickness is "suppose to stop." Yeah, we'll see about that.

Here is a view from the train ride looking towards downtown Ft. Worth.
