4th of July Weekend

So, we had a great fun filled weekend with the Jerry Glover family down here in good ol' Texas! Tate and Jerry had Friday off so that was alot of fun. WE drove down to Buda and had some yummy wal-mart pizza for lunch, then just hung around the house for a while. We then decided to get our little fannies in gear and go swimming. It was pretty spur of the moment, we didn't have any really set plans....that's the way I like it! So I ordered this big turtle and the basketball hoop thing a few days ago and they came just in time to enjoy them during the weekend. We had a fun time swimming and later that evening we were treated to yummy Fiesta Lime Chicken...Jerry Glover style.....I know Glover family that you will be sad because you missed out, and know how yummy it tastes! We watched movies and ate Ice Cream. Oh, I forgot to mention the other party that the kids and I had during the weekend. Seeing how the 6th Harry Potter movie is coming out so soon, we decided that we needed to freshen up on all the other ones so that when we went and watched the 6th movie we were all caught up. We only watched 3, 4 and 5 because that's all the video store had, but it was still so much fun. Friday night we stayed up till about 1:30 ish. I fell asleep during the 4th movie. Parker was going strong though, but seeing how everyone else had gone to bed or fallen asleep, he just turned the movie off and went to bed also! We finished them all this weekend though and are ready for July 15th when the 6th one comes out:) We are very excited. Well, me and Parker I think are the most excited!

Saturday we woke up and just played around the house. Casey and I went running and did a work out video:) That was fun! And just got ready for the day! All the festivities that we were wanting to go to didn't start until 5:00 that evening so we just played till then. WE had a nice little bbq of hamburgers and hot dogs and then went over to the Buda park where we watched the fireworks. The kids played on the playground and threw poppers on the ground. There really wasn't much there to do or play. The one things that was there was free cotton candy. We waited in a very long line and finally got some then the fireworks started. It was alot of fun sitting there in the 100 degree heat watching them go up in the air. Kasen absolutely loved them and kept making "ooh, aww" noises like everyone else. I was very impressed with the show and had a good time. We then went back to the Jerry Glover household and lit some of our own fireworks and sparklers off. After, of course, the neighbor lady yelled at Jerry and told him that he should/couldn't do that....then Jerry politely (surprising) told the lady that he asked the fire marshall if it was okay that they did these and he was told that it was very legal. The lady walked into her house and called someone and then came out and said, "Jerry, I called and you were right." ha ha...so after that we througoughly enjoyed ourselves!

Sunday was a nice relaxing day~ We bought ribs to have a AWESOME sunday dinner and Jerry made them. They were so so so so Yummy! I dont want to ever buy ribs at a restaurant again, these were so much better than any I have ever had! So, after dinner the Harry Potter Party continued and we finished the 5th movie! All in all, we had a fun weekend. We stayed another night at their house and came back Monday night to our apartment. I feel like we just come here to do laundry and then we pack up our stuff once again and go back to their house. It's alot of fun though and I am so glad to be able to hang out with them. So, this is a very long post and there are alot of pictures to come in the next post.
