HOT

It is H.O.T. here in San Antonio so we spent lots of time indoors this weekend. Friday night Lena Kate's Uncle Gus, Aunt Amy, and Cousin Charles came over for dinner. Lane grilled mahi mahi (or Maui Maui as Mom called it once..we'll never let her live that one down) with cilantro lime rice. I found the Chipotle recipe online and think it is a great side with fish. I think Missy had the best time as she has mastered the art of stealing food from little ones under the age of 5. They tend to not pay attention when holding food at her eye level...Charles lost 1/2 a hotdog and a cookie...Missy was fat and happy. She is sneaky when it comes to food, she gently swipes it and devours it as soon as possible. I've been giving Lena Kate Baby Mum Mum rice snacks and if I turn away for a second Missy helps herself. The only good thing is that she is really gentle when stealing food..no biting or grabbing really. I'd say, "good girl, Missy" since she is nice about stealing from a baby, but I really wish she would just listen when we tell her no. At least Lena Kate gets Missy back by running over her when LK is in her walker. When it comes to food that dog is very driven! On Saturday we hung our with our little family and relaxed. Lane spent lots of quality time playing with Lena Kate. I could just sit back and watch them play forever. It is so sweet to see them interact.

Yesterday afternoon we watched Nascar and visited with Lane's aunt who stopped by while in town. "Great Kelley" loves to play with Lena Kate whenever she can. By the way, Lena Kate loves watching Nascar...and her favorite driver is Jimmy Johnson. Her daddy might disagree, but she's going to have Mama's good taste. They say that when you have a kid it is all about them. This is true, but I can say we have definately gotten to see family much more often because we have sweet Lena Kate which I really enjoy :)

Friday I got Lena Kate's picture made in her baptismal gown and a cute lady bug outfit. She looked so cute. Here is a slideshow of some pics I took before we went as well as a few other random shots from the weekend.

We are going to be at my parent's from Wednesday through Sunday so I should have some great pics when I return. If I don't get another post done before then, I wish each of you a happy and safe 4th of July. Thank you sincerely to all those families involved in keeping our country safe and serving in our armed forces. God bless America!
