family filled weekend

We had a great weekend filled with lots of good times!  As busy as it was, it was still refreshing.  Daniel judged Bulls & Barrells Friday and Saturday night.  He really enjoyed it, and he is now the wild cow milking champion. Ha Ha, Fun times for D!  John McRae isn't quite ready for such fun and especially being still for that long.  He would have been wilder than any bull that stepped into the area.  So while Daniel was busy with that, John McRae and I found a little fun of our own.  On Friday night, he and I went with Gran to eat at Chili's and done a little shopping. John McRae was the only one to get anything.  Shocking, I'm sure.  On Saturday, JMc and I went to Kyndall's birthday party.  It was nice to see everyone, and we really enjoyed it.  Too bad JMc would not get near the water slide that the other kids were playing on.  He really enjoyed the cake and TWO plates of ice cream, though.  We thank Ashlea for the invite. :)  I got to spend some time with his Aunt Jen Jen.  We don't see each other a whole lot, but it is so nice when we get the chance.  John McRae was so happy to see Phillip, ReeRee and Uncle Mike.  I forgot to bring my camera in, but I wish I'd have taken a photo of all of Kyndall's presents, her beautiful Dora cake and all of the cuties having such a good time!  After we left the party, JMc and I went to visit my dad (PawPaw) and Grandma Johnson.  We rode the golf cart, watched Elmo, played with Play-doh and had a yummy supper.  Again, I didn't have my camera.  When Daddy emails me some photos, I'll post them.  I remembered to bring John McRae's pj's so I gave him a bathe before we left Daddy's. It's a good thing because this is JMc just seconds after we started home.

My sweet baby was so tired, he didn't even wake up when I got him out of the car to take him to bed.  He woke up crying for about an hour that night, but woke up ready to GO!

On Sunday, all three of us went to my Grandma's house in Mobile. (After sleeping late because poor JMc had a rough night, causing Mama and Daddy to have a sleepless night, too.)  My mom was there also. We had a lot of fun playing with our two Grannies.  Yes, Mama and my Grandma both go by Granny so it is a little confusing. My mom had Play-doh, markers and a coloring book waiting for JMc.  I made a very impressive rose out of Play-doh.  The neighbor sent over a plastic pool for JMc to play in and we all had such a great time playing with him and watching him play.  We didn't come prepared to swim, so you'll notice that he's nude.  I joked at my Grandma and said, "If you got out here swimming in the kiddie pool naked, I bet it would stir up more of a stink in the neighborhood. :)  Here are a few pics of our fun in Mobile.

You can see that we had a great day in Mobile.  John McRae was worn out and asleep by the time we left the driveway.

John McRae slept the entire two hours home. Gran and Papa picked JMc up in the parking lot of Long's Fishcamp and Daniel and I went in to eat a little supper.  Such a nice weekend and just four more sleeps until we are headed back down south, but this time we'll be headed to Gulf Shores for a little R&R and delicious food!

Oh, yeah..John McRae slept all night last night with no wakups or any crying! Whoo Hoo!

XOXO,
