Croquet

Tammy has been talking about playing croquet in their massive backyard for a while now. So, we all went outside to set up and play. And, of course, the boys want to come and they start hitting each other with the croquet sticks and it turns into a circus. Good thing I like the circus. It was blazing hot outside but we all had fun learning a new game and spending time together. Jared and Sereen have to go home tonight, so we're sapping all the fun out them that we can. ;)

Check out this VIEW! I love Jeff and Tammy's backyard. 

Only Sereen can (or would) rock a scarf in the Texas summer heat

 Aw.... young love. ;)

 Umbrellas channel your inner Downton Abbey and make you look and feel cool

Mitchell demonstrating the Common Style, or how-people-normally-hit-the-ball

Adventure Style (because Derek and sticks make a dangerous mix)

 Austin demonstrates Redneck Style (with lemonade)

 Here's Tammy demonstrating... dare I say it... Granny Style!

Playing the part of Sweet Southern Belles

 We all instantly became experts, critiquing hits and making recommendations. No pressure right?

At least your kids don't care how well you're hitting the ball. :)

Check out this sexy man in his security uniform! OW OW!!

Girls' Day Out

We went out for a Girls' Day today. It was AWESOME!! I, for one, really needed today. It was so nice to bond with my sisters (ok, some of them are cousins, but I don't care). We went to Sam Moon and then over to The Cheesecake Factory. It was so funny to see Tammy and Aunt Terri spend HOURS poring over jewelry. They were best friends in high school before Aunt Terri married Tammy's brother, Mike. Pretty cool! My habitual wear-no-jewelry-to-Sam-Moon-because-I-always-buy-something-i-want-to-wear-immediately backfired today - but I found a really cool Texas wallet. :)

 Shelley and Aunt Debbie - she's not even six (let alone sixteen) and she already wants to drive! Lol

We're so cute! Tammy, Grandma Allred, Aunt Terri and Aunt Debbie told us to go sit on our own. :) I don't think I've giggled that much in a loooong time. 

 Lanae was impressed with Loni's impromptu "spirit fingers." lol!

 Ally and Jenelle

 Liz and Angie

Me, Sereen, Liz and Angie!
