Great weekend!

We had a great weekend! Friday night Ryan and I went out for one of our friend's birthday's to 8.0's in downtown Fort Worth. My friend Jana had reserved tables and provided food and we were supposed to be outside. Due to the pending big storm, they moved us inside. It didn't end up raining so after we ate we went outside and had front row seats to a great band. The weather was PERFECT and we had a great time!

Saturday was project day. Ryan, Keith (Ryan's dad) and Dustin (Ryan's brother) came over to help construct Addyson's new playset for outside. Addyson had swim lessons in the morning and then I kept her occupied the rest of the day with things so she didn't see what they were doing. They worked all day in the heat (and it was super hot!) and finally got it finished. She was so excited when she saw it!! We actually decided to position this set as from the "pacie fairy"! Ryan and I were both worried that it wasn't going to work and we decided that if she put up too much of a fight that we might wait until 3 to take away pacie! Ha- we are so bad, but we reason it out as - "What is it hurting that she has a pacie at night??" Well, so far so good on the pacie! After she saw her playset we talked to her and said that the pacie fairy brought this and in return she had to take all of her pacies and give them to little babies like Clayton. She agreed and went to bed last night without it!! Right now she is napping and didn't have it either! Yea! 2 for 2! We'll see if it lasts. However, I do really just need to throw all of the pacies away so she never finds one!

We had all of Ryan's family over on Saturday night to play on the new set, eat pizza and visit. It was a great night! Here are some pics:

Building the play set

It's done!!

Loved this pic of Brittany and P-Rae

Dustin had gotten this rocket set at Hobby Lobby. You buy little motors and the rocket shoots up 600 feet in the air. All of the kids loved it! The rocket comes back down with a little parachute and then the kids would run to find it. Addyson is wearing a swim suit top around her neck..... (just in case you were wondering!)

Of course by the end of the night, all of the kids were playing on the "old" playset that Addyson has. Whatever!! You buy a big new set and they still play on the old one! It's kind of like when kids like the box better than what is inside! Nana was super-trooper last night and chased the kids around all night- they LOVE playing with Nana and we are all so lucky to have her! Addyson woke up still talking about how nana was going to throw her in the hole! (Tucker dug a hole in the backyard and nana was carrying all the kids around and pretending to throw them in the hole. They thought it was hilarious!)

Today is me and Ryan's 6 year anniversary!! We are not really doing anything too exciting- we went to church and had leftover pizza for lunch! This was one of the only weekends we had where Ryan could spend a whole day putting together the playset, so we'll probably go out next weekend for our anniversary. Tonight we have Boot Camp again! Woo Hoo! Pretty exciting anniversary! I must say the last 6 years have been wonderful and exciting and I am so glad to have spent them with my best friend! It is hard to believe that we have been together for about 11 1/2 years and married for 6, only "breaking up" for a day and a half! Here's to many more! I love you Ryan!
