Diner, Drinks and FUN!

We went to dinner and drinks on Friday night with some friends of ours. We were supposed to meet up with other friends that were at a concert, but that never happened. We had enough fun by ourselves :) We went out to eat at Cantina Laredo and overall it was a good experience. Most of us were happy with our dinner, and only one complaint (shrimp were over cooked). I had a grilled chicken breast with sauteed veggies and in a cream sauce and Jim had a shrimp burrito. Very tasty!

We went to a couple of different bars downtown.... Cuba Libre.... Light Bar..... Gruv.... and I think that is it :) We left a little earlier than the rest of the crew because I had to work the next day and I didn't want to be a total mess while at work :)

Nicole, Jennifer and I

Cos-mojito..... By far one of my favorite drinks. Not to sweet, not to tart, VERY YUMMY

Nicole and Steven

These four went to high school together.... so odd that they are still in contact! Jim and Chris have always been friends, but Nicole and Jennifer and in the picture because I met them through other friends and became friends with them. We all get along great!!

Oh my.... crazy ladies!

Matt, Chris and Jim

Me and the other ladies... Lindsey and Vanessa

Check out my fish lips!! :)

Day at the park with Hubby and Kids

Since it has been so hot out recently we thought we would take the kids to the park to swim. Taylor has always loved to swim and play in the water, but Chewie just recently figured out that he likes the water. The first few times we took him to the park to swim, he would only get his feet wet and would watch from the side of the water. So we didn't go as much since little Poopa didn't have as much fun as his sister. But now that he has started to actually like the water I think we will go more often!!

Taylor has always loved to lay in the water and watch other dogs and people. I still had her on the leash because she has the tendency to take off to smell things. I eventually let her off of the leash and she behaved!

This was a cool part of the park. Taylor and Chewie kept jumping up and down of the ledge and chasing other dogs around.

Me and the kiddos

I had little freakin fish biting my toes while I was standing in the water. They were aggressive little fuckers.

Before we loaded up the kids, we dried them off the best that we could. After drying Taylor off, I decided to wrap the towel around her... she just stood there like a good little dog!

Me and the kids waiting for Jim... he was grabbing some lunch for the humans

I thought I was a super star!





Last weekend we spent the day on the lake with some friends. The weather was hot, but the water was nice and cool! We spent some time in Devils Cove before we went wake boarding. I haven't wake boarded in a couple of years but I tried it out! Surprisingly I got up on the first time, however as soon as I tried to get my bathing suit out of my bootie I took a nose dive into the water :) ** note to self **... it is okay to flash the other boaters if it means I'll stay up on the wake board longer. I went a few more times and had a great time! I was even bold to try a couple of jumps. I didn't land any of them but it was a rush to try! I thought I had at least gotten off of the water by a few feet, but after looking at the pictures it appears that I was only off of the water about 6 inches. I guess I have some work to do!! I look forward to wake boarding the rest of the summer!!

Yes, I am a ham even while wake boarding

VVVRRRRROOOOOMMMMMMMM!

I was SOOOOOOO sore after wake boarding. My thighs, my back, and my arms were killing me! I used muscles that I haven't used in years!!! Wow, I am really out of shape! Not a good feeling.

This is me after I attempted one of my grand jumps :) I did a face plant into the water,,, hence why the board is up in the air. Jim did a good job of getting pictures!

Lee's Visit to Austin


While my brother was here, we didn't want his visit to be all sad business so we went out and had some fun.

We had dinner at Moonshine and then some drinks at Six Lounge upstairs patio while we watched the Celtics beat the Lakers in game 4 (I think it was game four)

Jim and Lee figured out that they really needed an old Nintendo and a few games. After a bit of research and many calls, they found the machine and games that they wanted. Jim and Lee played a TON of RBI baseball while he was here. I bet they played at least 10 hours in 3 days. If he had stayed longer, they would have to play more. The next time we head to AZ, Jim has to bring the gaming system so they can play RBI baseball. Ugh. :o)

Poor Taylor and Chewie just wanted to play with their dad and uncle, but they were only interested in RBI baseball :)

Momma hung out with the kids

Chewie was trying to distract Lee so Jim could get a few runs in him

After Jim's softball game, we went to watch The Happening after hours at the movie theater. We have the "hook up" at the theater so we saw the move 2 days before it was released. I'm sure you saw the other post I had.... the movie sucked total ASS! Anywho.. it was neat to see what the projectors looked like. Here is a picture of us "behind the curtain" and one of Lee in the theater.

Little Taylor was pooped after Lee's visit



After lunch one day, we headed down to Sixth Street to do some people watching while our food digested. Plus it was nice to get out of the house and away from the sadness. We went into one establishment for a refreshment... but they had a refreshment that was on special... The Irish Car Bomb. Mom- this is a natural drink made from wheat grass..... he he he.

Lee practicing his golf swing



I had to give Lee a proper send off..... Philly Cheese steaks!!! They were from Hog Island Deli, which I highly recommend.
