Summerfest and Father's Day

Well, another weekend has come and gone and precious memories made. First start to the weekend...Alexander, Abigail and I went to Summerfest. Kelly was going to join us but couldnt leave work in time. We were melting!! We got there about 6PM and left around 10PM. Papa met us about 8:30PM. When we first got there Alexander didnt know what rides to begin with...so we did them all!

This was his first choice...took him about 3 minutes to decide what color he wanted!!Then on to the carosel...We all rode with him...FUN FUN!!This was awesome...the look on his little face when the Dragon Roller Coaster would make the turns...he was so excited...he rode this at least 10 times that night!

Old Timey Cars...A train... A tiger...Inside a Strawberry with a friend named Abigail...On a pony...named Cowboy! And on the Ferris Wheel with his Papa!! Abigail was HOT too...but quite the little trooper...never cried a tear...my precious princess... She rode the carosel too...loves any swing...anywhere!Until she had to take a quick cat nap...about 15 minutes tops!And she danced with her papa...

Then on to Fathers Day...went to see Jimmy's dad And mom...and we had a burger/dog dog cookout...always yummy...

Throw in Brother Tim...

with daughter Ellen

And daughter Sara And there was even time for a tractor ride with Papa!! (Abigail much too little!)
Father's Day will never be the same without daddyRIP...we miss you!!


So this is our life...And life is good...because God is so good to us!! Until then...love!!

Granite City Illinois

Spent the weekend in Granite City Illinois with the hubby. Had a very relaxing time and even attended my first and hopefully last crawfish boil. Those things STANK and tasted about the same way...I just dont get it...enjoy!

Anyday is a fun day...spent with Alexander and Abigail!!

Memaw's angels...this is what makes life worth living!! I LOVE THEM!! Wow...thats up close Memaw! Aint she purty!!

And we all fall down...we were twirling around and he got dizzy...FUNNY!!

Okay...I think she is ready for a pink corvette!!

He had so much fun playing with Pete a.k.a. Snuggles!

Abigail is growing up...trying to drive this car but she slid down into the floorboard...hehehehehe Alexander shows us just how fast he can ride this horse!!

Funny...look at my sleeping princess!

Me and my prince...finally got him to look up!

And with my little princess...

Life is good!

Memorial Day Weekend...we had a BBQ at the house...hubby was home for 5 days!!

Melissa and Aunt Barb enjoy conversation at the barbie...

Alexander got a new pool...

Ellen just woke up...Alexander hanging with Papa on the porch...Me and Uncle Don...he is SO PRECIOUS!!

My silly pumpkin...how patriotic!What a great way to wake up!!Alexander wanted to hold his baby...

Memaws pretty Abbey after a bath...my little quacker...This was too funny not to post...Alexander wanted to play the piano...so I went about doing something else and heard him playing. Then all of the sudden I heard hep Memaw hep (he cant say his L's yet) and this is what I saw...I could only laugh...and get the camera of course!!This was taken this morning before leaving for the sitters and work...I didnt see him anywhere and then I saw him move...he was loving up on his dog...
And last but not least for the day...this is how I woke up! I have no recollection of this 'accident' except that Alexander bumped my eyebrow with his sippy cup wanting a refill and Abigail trying to pull my nose off while trying to go to sleep...the battles of being a Memaw...I WIN EVERYTIME!!! Until then...love!
