Holiday Weekend Mania

We started Friday evening off with dinner at Fudruckers with Blake's brother Trent's family and ended up just going home and watching a movie afterwards so we could put Ashlyn down for bed. Saturday we did our grocery shopping for our 2 weeks worth of meals! We also painted Ashlyn's soon to be new room (although I helped, I'm pretty sure I made more of a mess) chocolate brown on 2 walls which will look awesome with her pink/choc brown quilt and I am making 8 - 12x12 cork board squares covered in pink/green/brown coordinating fabric for the brown wall, and I have all sorts of brown frames to put fun pictures in for the white walls! Now we just need to sand/stain her dresser and bed and find a rug... That night we went to the batting cages and then to Jensen's house to watch UFC!! Sunday was of course church and then eating dinner with Blake's family, we had a nice outdoor BBQ since the weather was only 85 degrees. Monday we went to the lake early in the AM and had to 4x4 out Butcher Jones to get to the back of the lake so we could find a beach. The family is growing by numbers so we don't all fit in the boat anymore! The guys had a blast using the Air Chair and always had an audience of other boats watching and clapping for them! When we got home we had a cook out at my parents house and after an exhausting but always fun weekend we slept great!

Looks like a lot of fun. I love the pink toe nails. Oh and I love that color of paint. It looks great. Is that still going to be the hair room?

Sounds like you guys were busy but had fun. When you get done with her room I hope to see pictures. It sounds really cute.

Your pictures are wonderful! It is so great to see you and how you all are growing with living so far away. I wish it was that warm here. Lets just say lately all we are seen is cold rain.
