Sunday I rushed around and made Pioneer Woman's baked beans, a strawberry cream pie and vegetable dip in a bread bowl and Leelee and Grandpa stopped by for another visit before heading back to San Angelo. Then we all loaded up and headed over to Gus and Amy's for a labor day/housewarming BBQ with my family. Mimi and Papa came up and we all had a great time. Good food and good fun!
Lena Kate has been showing off this past week. She took two steps two different times on Saturday and she has been waving and clapping up a storm. I love watching her learn and catch on. Babies are amazing in how fast they grow and learn.
She fell asleep after the BBQ before we could get on the road home. She is like Cinderella, if she isn't asleep at 8 pm, she turns into a pumpkin.

Can you believe this little guy just turned 2 in May? Look at that form. All the guys were playing soccer with Charles. I don't know who had more fun, Charles or the big boys. They were ALL hot and sweaty when they got done.

Girl's night Out- On Thursday night I met these sweet girls out for our first Girl's Night Out since our babies were born. We had yummy chocolate goodness at the Coco Lounge and great conversation. It was so nice to get out and not rush through dinner to keep a little one happy. Lane stayed home with Lena Kate and they did great. She was sound asleep in her bed...diaper and jammies on correctly and all. Thanks again Lane for staying with your girl so Mommy could have a much needed reprieve. I think we are all looking forward to hour next GNO, especially since all the babies and Daddies did super great.
Too much fun at our playdate-this was after her official nap, LK fell back asleep on the couch for another hour and 1/2....snuggle with the remote.
Yes, we know we are cute - Lena and Catalina
Hey girl, you think you can give me a boost and we can blow this joint.
Help me Momma, she's attacking me with a piece of bread!
Getting ready to go have lunch at Paesano's with Papaw John (my old boss). John and I had a bet that I wouldn't lose all the baby weight I gained by July 1st. Guess who won!...me, of course. Had I lost, John would've got a homemade Italian Cream Cake...but I won so I got Shrimp Paesano and Tiramisu for dessert. I did take him some chocolate chip cookies as a consolation prize. He loves those too. I really enjoyed working for him so it was nice to meet and get caught up. He reminds some of my Dad so, of course, I think he's great. Monica also got to come to lunch too. She has been working so hard these days. For those of you who don't know, Monica is my childhood friend that took over for me when I left Tetco and United Pump Supply. I meant to get a picture when we were at lunch. I had my camera out and everything.....but I guess I got side-tracked by all the yummy food. Lena Kate was a good girl as usual. She banged her spoon and tried to be loud...but it is loud there to begin with, so no worries.

Aww, great pictures! Looks like you guys had a great time. That pool looked sooo inviting, I bet the house was beautiful! I need a bet like you had going, but no one offered to take me out if I lost all my baby weight, ha! Maybe they were being nice, but I did and then some so I guess I'll just have to take myself out. :P I have a recipe for homemade tiramisu if you're interested. It's divine!
