Friday night, we had a visitor. One of our friends from our old hometown, who we haven't seen in years.
(He's in the National Guard and just got stationed near us.)
I made some rotisserie chicken and we sat and talked for hours. SIL R came too and joined us for supper, then took the kids with her for the weekend. [Thanks SIL R!]
Saturday morning, Hubby and I slept in. We went to town for Hubby to get a new shirt and pair of Levis. Then we had lunch at a Mexican restaurant that we've never been to before. It was pretty good.
We had a wedding to attend at 4pm. It was a beautiful ceremony. We didn't stay for the reception because, well, hey, it's not every weekend we're baby-free!
That night, Hubby took me to The Hornet's Nest, which is the Talladega Short Track. [We have friends that race.] We had a great time! With no kids, we were able to stay out after midnight! I came home with mud in my hair, up my nose and down my shirt, but it was fun!
Sunday was Father's Day. You can read about Father's Day HERE.
We had a great weekend! Very fun and relaxing too!
And how was your weekend?
We started out the morning alone. Just the two of us. Adults. Sleeping in. No kids.
It was ... Quiet & Peaceful ... so NOT like our lives
(The kids had stayed the weekend with my SIL R at MIL&FIL's house.)
So bring on them dang younguns!!!
We visited Hubby's parents' house for an hour or so, then we all came home. Hubby shod our two horses, he rode them, the kids rode, even I got up there and rode. (Dying of Fear Inside)
We swam in the pool for hours, we watched what Hubby wanted to watch on television. I made Breakfast Pizza for supper. We're backwards people, like that.
All in all, it was a good day.
[I missed my Dad though. And thought of him throughout the specialness of Hubby's day.]
Here's what all Hubby got for Father's Day:
3 greeting cards, a horse blanket and a Hitachi drill set
*Not to mention, a special surprise from Mommy =)
My, my, he made out nicely, huh?
Since the kids were staying the night with my SIL, Hubby took me to the dirt track Saturday night to watch some of our friends race. I could so easily get addicted to going to the dirt track!!
In this clip, one of our friends is starting in the first position.
(This video was taken in May, not the night we were there)
Me and my Granny - Oh yeah, I cut my hair off a couple weeks ago ;)

(Yes, he's wrapped up in a pink blanket, lol)
I only added this one because of how much Princess is starting to look like me!
The rodeo was fun. The kids enjoyed it, except that Princess had a tummy ache & some poopy problems. Other than that, everything went well.
It. Was. Freakin. Cold. Though.
LittleMan rode the mechanical bull again. This time they actually turned it up and bucked him around. We went to a different bull this time though, one inside, because. It. Was. Freakin. Cold.
Hubby bought me my centerpiece that I've been wanting for my kitchen table. I had found a similar one online, but it cost over $100! This one didn't.
And we won't go back to the 4pm show again. It was shorter and when we left ... at 630 ... I felt like I had just got there.
Next year, it's back to the 8pm show. The only reason we opted for the 4pm was because we brought Princess this year. It was her first time. =)
But next year, yeah, 8pm. It may end late, but we're gonna get a hotel room.
I've been trying to upload pictures all year {lol}
[I had the usb cable in the wrong port]
Little Man had a birthday on January 2nd; we never did have him a birthday party last weekend, due to SNOW, but here's a picture of Little Man with the birthday cake I made him:
