Memorial Day Fun

We had a fun, but busy weekend. It went by all too fast. It was so nice for us to have a long weekend together.
On Friday afternoon, we left for Dallas. Our good friend Katie got married on Saturday . We did not have too much traffic and only stopped once to eat dinner. Barrett made lots of friends at Panera! We got to the hotel around 9 and found out they didn't have a pack-n-play for us (which we had already called about a few times). So, poor Brooklyn spent the night in her car seat. She only woke up once and Barrett slept through it all, so it ended up ok.

Brooklyn's first night in a hotel
Saturday morning we ate breakfast at the hotel. We had promised Barrett he could go swimming. So, we went. Even though it was chilly and 9 in the morning! Barrett had a blast and Brooklyn seemed to enjoy being in the water. Derek was a trooper and got in with the kids. Swimming lasted about 30 minutes and then it was time to get ready for the wedding. Here are some swimming pictures.

Katie's wedding was at Farmers Branch Cof C . Barrett spotted Anthony walking in and got so excited. It was a beautiful church and the wedding was sweet. Kellee was in the wedding and luckily Barrett's mouth was full of food when she walked in. He started pointing at her all excited. Then shortly after, Derek and Barrett left the auditorium. It was hard for B to stay quiet. The reception was at the church and it was fun to see our friends and family. Barrett and Elizabeth liked being on the stage. They took turns singing. David Padgett was nice to watch them. Barrett and Elizabeth had so much fun together. They are 2 peas in a pod.

After the wedding we went to eat at Spring Creek Barbeque. All the kids loved being in the high chairs that rolled through the line. And the rolls were so good. Of course B and E had fun together after eating. They were running and dancing through the resturaunt.

I guess B and E got tired and needed to take a break. They chose the baby carseat slings. Whatever works, I guess. They are so funny!

After our late lunch, we headed back to Austin. We got in just at bedtime. Then we had church and Sunday night we had a dinner at the McDonald's. It was fun to catch up with everyone and the kids always have a blast playing together.


On Monday, we had a ice relaxing day. We worked on organizing the garage some. After Brooklyn's nap, we went to the pool. We ran into Tate and David there, so that was fun. For dinner we went to the SaltLick with friends. It was relaxing and fun to hang out. We've got a system that works well for the girls- men and kids on one side and moms on the other. Barrett loved listening to the live music while we waited for our table. It was a great weekend and a wonderful way to kick off the summer.

What a fun weekend. I'm glad you posted so many pictures of all of you! David Padgett is good at watching kids at weddings. I have a picture of him holding Nathan at my wedding.

That is just what I was going to say about David. He is so sweet. He really did hang out with Nathan at Marcia's wedding. I also remember the first time he met Abby he just played and played with her. There's something about Daddies who have little girls.

What a fun weekend! I wish y'all would have stayed here Sat. I saw your mom and Kara at church that night. Elizabeth and Abby were in the same class. You're family is so beautiful and y'all are so brave for swimming. We haven't even touched the pool.

It was great seeing you all and I always love getting my sugar from the kiddos. Glad you enjoyed the rest of your weekend.
