weekend recap - minus recital...

as u all know, last week was SUPER busy 4 us - practices, tech rehearsals, dress rehearsals, 2 seperate performances...recital mania!

so of course, i have lots of pics & videos of the fun!

i'm gonna recap our weekend now - minus the recital stuff...it really needs it's own post ;0)

saturday morning, the girls were up bright & early - despite Gabrielle's late performance friday night...Corinn & i had gone on a "date" 2 watch Gabby perform (she was in both recitals - Corinn was only in the saturday performance)...Gabby did awesome & it was nice 2 b able 2 sit & enjoy the show with Corinn! we didn't get home until after 10pm, but they both were up & outside enjoying the morning sun 1st thing saturday (u can see Gabby's still got the bun in her hair from the night b4)


after daddy made breakfast 4 every1, we headed 2 the park...it was a gorgeous day! daddy & i enjoyed strolling around the track while the kiddos burnt some energy on their bikes


we made a slurpee stop, then headed home 2 get ready 4 the afternoon recital performance
see next post 4 details - but here's a peek at the roses the girls got at the end of the show...


after the recital, we ran home 2 quickly change the girls & then headed 2 WVa 2 a family reunion - the Brady reunion! my mom's family comes in every summer from TX, NC, farther away in WVa, etc...it's about the only time i get 2 see my aunts & cousins

Curtis & my uncle Scott...

all my mom's sisters roasting hot dogs 4 the kiddos...

they were too busy playing!

1 of my aunts brought her 1975 yearbook...both my parents were in it, my aunts & uncle Scott...even a page dedicated 2 my name sake - my mom's foster sister, Sharon - she died the year b4 at age 19

we had a great time making s'mores & hanging out with fam!

& there was a full moon out...

fitting 4 our crazy bunch!


the next morning, the girls took their roses outside 4 some sun ;0) they were still so proud of them - thanks Nana, aunt Kelly & daddy!


after the chaotic Saturday we'd just had...we took advantage of a lazy Sunday & did nothing but chill all day long!

1st came a very late breakfast...then fishing...

& "treasure" hunting...

btw - while hunting 4 treasure, Gabrielle discovered this...

any1 know what in the world it is?! it was alive & moving...gray, but almost translucent...shedding it's skin like locust...had wings & long legs...& some weird pincher thing in the front...it was just creepy!

that evening, we watched the Food Network Shrek cake challenge 2gether, then had some fun around the campfire...more s'mores 4 the kiddos, & a glass (or 2) of wine 4 mama! ;0)

Jaden even told us a ghost story...



it was the perfect ending 2 a perfect weekend!

how was ur's?
