Summer, family & river rats

07.14.14

What awesome, FULL and beautiful weekend we had @ casa GCC!!!  I love me some summer, family & river rats!!!

Family came in for the weekend and we had a “Sean’s headed to the Navy get-together” all centered around SEAN of course &…”let’s go to the river”!!!  Lots of pallets & air mattress spread out on the floors, sofa “sleepers”, hustling & bustling, wet and tired peeps!  Singing and groovin’, doughnuts,  Lowe’s, hunting for the perfect swimming hole & succeeding.  It all made for one of the most memorable weekends ever!  Pretty epic.


Friday~

  • felt way better after my sweet girl shared her “sinus remedy” & we were ready for our little family to come in for the weekend!
  • some home tidying up!
  • Boo n I had a layed back evening waiting for the party to get started.

Saturday~

  • Breakfast: baked french toast, fruit salad, sausage, eggs & juice
  • Rest of the visitors came in (woot) and headed to float the river
  • Made it back home for grillin’ burgers & fun
  • Late night ice cream run to Austin for Amy’s Ice Cream, photo ops & a glimpse of the fabulous moon!

Sunday~

  • Breakfast: Boo’s Texas Waffles, bacon, hash browns, eggs, blueberries & bananas
  • Austin trip for some sightseeing, Juiceland detour, more sight seeing, then on to the Mellow Mushroom for a late lunch before everyone headed back home 🙁

Pics~

Congress Street in Austin is a popular place for all ages, but these kids sure love discovering, walking, eating, and hanging out there!

We ask God’s blessing on Sean as he goes on his new journey into the Navy and continued blessings for each of these kiddos that we love so much.  We always love time spent with family, especially these kiddos!

Great times & better memories~

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

It’s moments like these and when he lets me cudd It’s moments like these and when he lets me cuddle him that I wish time would stand still. So very thankful to be blessed with precious grands!

He likes working outdoors in the cold for a bit so he can come inside and have a “hot cocoa tea party” as he calls it!💋 He loves this tea set and so do I ❣️

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.
.
And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!
.
Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂
