Go Rough Riders!

Last weekend we walked to the Rough Riders baseball game and had a great time. The Rough Riders are a minor league baseball team that feed into the Texas Rangers. It is really cool to have a minor league field only a couple of miles from our house. It made for a great Sunday!







We found this great lil park on the way to the ballpark. So cool. It is a memorial for the Shawnee Trail. Really neat.

Hello Goodwill!

It feels so good to do this! Bryan and I tore up our closets! My philosophy, "If you didn't wear it this past season, you are never going to wear it...so get rid of it!"

The next biggest loser!

Well, I haven't actually come close to what those people lost on the biggest loser or near as fast as it happened for them, but....Last Tuesday I hit the "lost 15 pound mark!" I am really excited and feeling so good. It's nice when your clothes actually fit you right and aren't just tight! ha. I still have a long way to go, but Bryan and I are getting on the right path of eating more fruits, vegetables, smaller portions and working out. Just thought I would share!

Fun Times...Long Post!

We had a great Memorial Day weekend. Some of our best friends flew in to visit and were here with us from Friday to Wednesday morning. We had such a great fun filled time while they were here. We definitly had a packed schedule.

Friday Night - Forth Worth Rodeo (This was probaly the most fun, because Davis was so excited to be a cowboy and see all of the animals)
He definitly played the part well!



We ate at Risky's BBQ for dinner. Yumm! I think that Davis enjoyed the food!



Saturday - we showed the Bass's around Frisco and took it easy before heading to the 6th Floor Museum. The 6th Floor Musuem is where President JFK was shot and killed. Saturday night we introduced the Bass's to our favorite mexican resturant, La Hacienda Ranch. Of course we couldn't call it a day until we had a good competitive game of Settlers of Catan!!!

The sixth window on the far right is where they believe that JFK was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald.



X marks the spot of where the 2nd shot hit the president and killed him.

Sunday - we went to church, ate a good sandwhich at Potbelly's and then headed to Dallas to go to the Dallas Aquarium. It was a little croweded, because of the Holiday weekend, but still a great time. They have some really unique animals like the pengiuns and manatees.

We saw the sharks feed.

Monday - We were able to go to a Rangers game thanks to the Lewis's and their parents. We had fun tailgating, a great time at the game, and great seats! Later that night we headed to Dallas to visit some of Beaty and Carrie's friends from grad. school. They actually go to our church and the husband is the youth minister at our church. So it was neat to get to know them a little bit.

Here are a few pictures from Game Day...







Tuesday - Lindsey spent the day working and Beaty, Carrie, Davis, and Bryan spent the afternoon at the pool. It was a beautiful day for them to be outside. For our last time together we went out with a bang eating dinner at Mastergrill Steak House.

All in all we had a fabulous time with the Bass's. We miss them dearly and wish they lived here in Texas! :)

Hooked - Redeeming Love

I have been wanting to read this book for awhile, but thought since it was set in the "olden days (1800's)" that I might get bored with it. Well...let me just tell you, I bought it yesterday at Barnes and Noble and I have not been able to put it down. Go get it and see for yourself.



Here is a synopsis..Sold into prostitution in childhood, Angel is a bitter woman who trusts no man. But when God tells Michael Hosea to marry her, she learns to love---until fear overwhelms her and she returns to her former life. Can she be redeemed? A skillful retelling of the biblical story of Gomer and Hosea.

Hilarious!

So this totally cracks me up! I have been going through my pictures, organizing them and ordering a ton. (having so much fun! ha) But I came across this picture that we took during our first tornado watch/warning. The sirens went off and we headed into the closet.

Hahaha!



Bryan's face cracks me up in this one!
