10 Year Reunion and Fun with the Fam

A couple of weeks ago, James and I headed to Mtn. View for my 10-Year High School Reunion. It was a bit HOT, but we had a good time nonetheless.

Group Pic (but was taken a bit before all had arrived, no not really the whole group). Did I mention that it was HOT??? Case sweat through all of his clothes.

My friend Elisha and her son Bryce who is only a month older than Case. Case wasn't cooperating. It was way past his nap time by this point. And I was nice and sticky with a healthy glow!

While in town we got to spend some good QT with the family. Case and Grandpa Whit looking and the motorcycle magazine.

Case pretending to be asleep for Nana. He even snores. It's one of his many stall techniques that he uses to avoid going to bed.

And of course Case had a big time with his cousins, Evan and Will.

Even and Case hugging good-bye at my Mimi's house on Sunday before we headed back for TN.

And hugging Will good-bye.

Back for one more hug...

Just one more...

Live at the Garden

Forgive me for being a little behind on my blogging. I'm playing a little bit of catch up....

A few weeks ago, we got to go see REO Speedwagon and Pat Benetar at Live at the Garden. James and I had tickets from my work for the lawn (where you come and bring your own lawn chairs or blankets), but at the last minute, found out that the agency table was up for grabs so we jumped at the chance to go and sit at the table again. We love sitting at the table. You're right up front where the action is and you don't have to cart your own chair...and did I mention that with the table tickets comes free food and drinks?!?! We had such a great time!

Tara, Amy and Michelle (three gals that I work with) My friends Jesse and Courtney.

We segregated like in grade school...men from the women. It's just more fun that way! The men's side of the table...Nick (Jesse's hubs), James, Robert (Courtney's hubs) and Tom (Tara's hubs).

Having a good time out with adults! Thanks to Ms. Pat for keeping Case for us!

Tara and her hubs, Tom.

Robert, so glad to be there! He was a real trooper. His wife Courtney is an REO fan and had wanted him to buy tickets, and he never did. So it was a good thing we called with free tickets so Courtney could enjoy and Robert could score some bonus points! :)

I think Tara is having a good time....

And here are a few video clips of REO and Pat. Please ignore the tone deaf singing in the background...It was kind of amazing how good they all sounded to be just out of their prime. Sounded just like on the radio. We were impressed.

The Terrible Two's

So, I guess there's a reason for the commonly known phrase, "The Terrible Two's." Case has spoiled us up until now and we were hoping to escape this phase of life, but alas...I believe we're starting to get a glimpse at what lies ahead for us in the year to come. Oh boy!

4th of July Weekend

We've had such a great long weekend! We drove over to middle Tennessee on Saturday to spend some QT with James' family.

James and Eli, our newest nephew. James' sister and her family were visiting from AustinCase and his cousin Greyson had a great time playing together.

James' Granny Winnie holding Eli with Greyson and Case sitting down in front getting ready for the big group photo.

Case giving his great Uncle Danny a kiss goodbye.

Eli is such a chunky monkey!! He's got rolls for days and is just so stinkin' cute!

Aunt Sarah giving the boys a ride on the tire swing at the park.

The boys all dressed up for church on Sunday morning. We could not get them to both look and smile at the same time...

We came back home on Sunday night. I always like to have a day to recover before I have to go back to work, so today we headed to the swimming pool. One of the partners of the firm James works for has a pool and was nice enough to let us stop by for a swim. It's the first time Case has been to a pool all summer. He loved it, but wasn't overly brave. We'll have to get him in some swimming lessons next summer so he can start to get more comfortable.

All in all, it was a great long weekend full of fun and relaxation! Below is a quick video of Greyson and Case for your viewing pleasure.
