Weekend in Dallas!

This past weekend Jay and I headed up to Dallas for a wonderful weekend with Jay's family. Jessica and Spencer, Jay's sister and her husband, were in town for a wedding and we were so happy to see them... We hadn't seen Jessica since our crawfish boil and Spencer since our wedding... it was long overdue and we had a blast!

We drove up to Dallas on Thursday after work and enjoyed an evening on the patio with Jay's parents. Then Friday, Jay and Darrell played a little golf while I met one of my dearest and oldest friends, Morgan, for a great lunch and lots of girl talk! Then Friday evening Jay and I got together with two of his best and oldest friends and their sweet wife's for dinner. Nick and Tami are prego and expecting their sweet baby boy in December! We are so excited for them and can't wait to meet baby Ethan over Christmas!!!

The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing, watching movies, eating... all things inside... since it was 110 degrees!!! I have never ever been so hot!

Also, on Saturday we went and saw "The Help"! It was sooooo good... I enjoyed every minute and I can't say that I remember the last movie I saw in the theatre I said that about. I started the book, but couldn't wait till I finished to see the movie, but I hear the book is even better! So I will continue reading and let you know. If you haven't seen the movie it is a MUST SEE!!!

These photos are both better than a thousand words!!! Don't you want to go out and see the movie and read the book now???!!! This movie is defiantly one I will own!

I only took 2 photos this weekend, but better some than none. :)

My wonderful lunch date Morgan!

At dinner with our wonderful friends Scott & Karla, Nick & Tami (+ baby Ethan.)

Sadly I didn't take any photos of all 6 of us together... so this one is from our wedding.

Happy Tuesday!

Where has the summer gone?

This summer has gone by so fast... where has the time gone?

We had a great summer filled with family, friends, great cook-outs, lots of laughter, golfing, birthday parties, time in the pool, a fun new iPad, a little decorating and HOT summer mornings/afternoons/evenings... I don't remember the summers ever being this hot... it is so bad that we try to avoid being outside for more than a few hours. But besides the heat we had a great summer and are looking forward to a much cooler and fun filled fall!

So to sum up our fantastic summer here are a few photos to tell the story.

4th of July cook-out at our dear friends Michelle and Paul house.

Celebrated MomMom's birthday with some of the Overbeck clan.

Celebrated my sweet friend Sarah's birthday; super fun theme party - Cowboys and Indians!

A sleepy Sunday afternoon with my love.

New photo wall in our entry way... I got the idea from one of my favorite blogs... Young House Love!

My newest toy! It is so fun and I love using it everyday!

Fun pool day with Piper.

Uncle Jay and Piper at the pool. She isn't sure if she is a water baby just yet.

Our dear friend, Courtney, moved to Louisiana. We are sad to see her leave... but now we get to use "face-to-face" for fun video chats!

The boys being boys, James and Jay enjoying a fun summer evening by the pool... but how cute are they... matching swim-suits!

A visit from my sweet friend Kim and her precious kids, they are adorable. We even enjoyed an afternoon Waterway Cruiser ride on The Waterway.

This is Luke on our Cruiser ride... all he wanted to see was some frogs... no frog sightings this time, maybe we'll get lucky next time!

Sweet Langley enjoying an afternoon snack on the our Cruise ride. She turned one while they were here! She is growing up so fast!

This last Saturday night, Jay and I went to the Chairmans Ball and danced the night away!

They had a fun photo booth that we took advantage of for some funny memories.

Now it is time for cooler temperatures and football! Only two more weeks for college football. Jay couldn't be more excited.
