In the last 10 days...

Whew!! This summer has been so great, but so busy. We are thoroughly enjoying ourselves. I have done alot of fun stuff with the kids, but I have also gotten to have some fun of my own!!

I got to see Harry Potter- this was my favorite book, so I was really excited to see the movie. It didn't disappoint!! I'm trying to figure out a way to see it again :)
My mom, sisters and I went our 3rd annual girls trip. This year, we went to Austin and had a blast!! My sisters are 2 of the funniest people- we laughed so much over the weekend. Thanks, mom!!
We shopped and browsed on South Congress the first day. What fun vintage shops!!I also really liked walking around the HUGE Whole Foods grocery store, and the Round Rock outlet mall. And, the food was great!! Green Mesquite BBQ and El Sol y La Luna- YUM!

This week, Jason and I got to see Coldplay for the second time in 9 months. We took my sister for her birthday present. It was outside, but the weather has been so nice, it was fine! The show was great- they are so great live. I loved it when the busted out and sang Billie Jean :)During "Yellow" Yellow lights and big huge yellow balloons were everywhere
I got to eat dinner and chat with 2 of my oldest friends!! It's so nice to still be in touch with friends that have meant so much in my life. *Coming up for The Ballard Bunch- Jason is on vacation next week and we are taking the kids to Great Wolf Lodge for a few days. We got a great rate a few months ago, and the kids have NO idea. I am so excited to surprise them and excited for a full week of family time!!:)

Jason was off Saturday, and I was really looking forward to a family weekend. He usually works Saturdays, but when he is off and we get 2 days in a row all together, we are so happy!! Friday night he called on his way home from work, and told the kids to get dressed in their cowboy boots, we were going somewhere. The kids got so excited, and ran to their rooms. Lucy got some new cowgirl boots for Christmas (2 pairs, actually), and has been wearing them alot!! They got all dressed up in their cowboy stuff and we waited for Daddy to get home. He took us to Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and he invited my sisters, too. It was so fun!! I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday party, and the kids had a blast; sliding down the slide, dancing on the dance floor and eating yummy steak. It was such a fun night!!! If you wear a tie, they cut it off and put it on their wall!! He wore an old tie on purpose The weekend just kept getting better!! Yesterday, Jason and I had a great date ni...

This week Walker and Lucy are off from ARK School. They are actually NOT excited, they love school!! Caitlin is home this week, too, though so that is fun. We had a great weekend to end my break and kick off the kids. Saturday , we drove to a drive-in theater in Granbury. Colleen (my friend and Walker's teacher) told us about this drive-in and it was showing Horton Hears a Who!, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad there is still one around. Drive-ins are just one of those things I have great memories of and want to do with my kids. At the drive-in, with a good spot. Being comfy in our jim jammers!! Enjoying our picnic dinner. Fruit skewers, pb&j roll-ups, and cheetos!! Sunday , we had a great family lunch at mom's, then it was off to the TCU Easter Egg Hunt. The kids looked so cute, and had fun hunting eggs. However, they could not be persuaded to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or Super Frog. Oh, well. Lucy, looking around for some eggs Showing off his loot! My...

Well, you find things like this in your backyard: There are lots of fun things about living "out" here and having more than an acre of land to explore. We have roadrunners, roosters, chickens, lizards (apparently!), bonfires, and lots of fun. The kids were so intrigued. They have really developed a love for animals and outdoors A close up of our friend
