Last weekend we had lots of company! My Mom, Stacey, Gramma, Melanie, Tomi, and two of Greys cousins, Jackson and Maddie came for the weekend. We had a great time shopping and the kids hung around the house and played in the backyard as much as we would let them. It was so hot that we couldn't stay out all the time, but we filled up the pool and they had a blast! The kiddos played so well together, and we adults played tons of games (my family's favorite gathering activity). It was so nice to see my family and have some good quality time. It did my heart good to watch the boys, who are so close in age, play so nicely together. Poor Maddie, the only girl, is out-numbered, but tries so hard to keep up with the boys! It was a great weekend and we look forward to seeing everyone again soon at Camp Meeting! Here are a few pictures of the weekend.

Here is a quick video of Grey in his little pool. You can tell he's having a blast. Thanks to Jamie for the tip on adding videos to the blog!!

Here are some pictures of our Saturday afternoon. Most of the weekend was spent around the house doing chores that have been put off until the weekend. I sewed more curtains, Billy worked on the yard, Grey played. Billy had a good Fathers Day, I think. We grilled out yummy fajitas. Grey made him a gift at school, so that was fun to watch Billy open, because I had no idea what it was going to be. And I got him some much needed garage stuff. Overall, he seemed pleased with his special day. And we went to JoAnns Fabrics on Fathers Day. Nothing a dad enjoys more than hanging out in a craft store on his special day!! But, he was a great sport about it!! We had a busy weekend and got alot done. I just wish we would have gotten more rain from the storm Dallas had. Lots of thunder and lightening, but very little rain!

Family Photos:
Our church did family pictures for our directory. Grey did great and we got such cute pictures. They did a good job with getting Grey to smile. He's getting to be such a big boy!!

No new pictures this weekend. Billy has been busy with work the past week and weekend, so it's been me and Grey just hanging out. On Saturday I went to Joanns and got the fabric to start my curtains. I got the curtains done for my kitchen and will start on the ones for my living room next week. I also got to pick two peppers off my pepper plant Saturday, so I am excited about that. For those of you that have known me longest - yes I am sewing and gardening ( I know you had to re-read that just to make sure!). I'm becoming quite the Suzy Homemaker. :) Anyway, sewing and gardening on Saturday. On Sunday, I'm back to teaching Grey's class at church and that is fun. I really like being involved in what he is doing and learning. Then after church we went to Greys Grammas house for lunch and fun time in the pool. It was a fun afternoon to wrap up a light, easy, fun weekend! Sorry, I've become a blog slacker! I'll add more pictures sometime soon.

This weekend we took the camper out on its "inaugural" trip. We met Anna, Craig, Shaelin, and Alaina on Lake Eafaula in Oklahoma. We had a great trip, and it was the best camping experience I've had! We had a restroom, shower, A/C, beds.... It was great. We went out on the boat all day Saturday and skied. Everyone forgot the cameras, so we have no pictures, but we all had a blast. Grey loved playing with his cousins and had a great time on the boat. Over all it was a great weekend and we really appreciate Anna and Craig for meeting us!
