Here's me and baby at Auntie R.'s house last Sat., wearing our cute dresses and cowboy boots on the way to the wedding that night. The wedding, btw, was awesome! It was your typical big wedding w/buffet, DJ, and big dance floor. I was so impressed to even see that they had a kids' table there, covered with crayons, coloring books, stickers, etc.! I don't think I've ever seen that at a wedding before, but of course, the bride was Mexican so it was naturally a kid-friendly wedding. That's generally how we Mexicans get down. The baby made friends with the other kids fast like she always does (that always makes me so proud! Especially when you consider how painfully timid and shy I was as a child. I love seeing how fast she always makes friends everywhere we go!!!) and was running around being a social butterfly.
Here she is on the dance floor, surrounded by her new friends and especially that cute little black girl in the blue/green/yellow dress. Their table was actually behind ours so that little girl became her best friend all night long. Just like at that last wedding we went to in February, I could not drag the baby off the dance floor. I tried to teach her some of my moves as well! When they got the Soul Train going she and I went down it together! Then she and 3 other little girls held hands and tried to monopolize the Soul Train, cracking everyone up, seen here:
At 9:30 pm, "Are you ready to go?" "No." At 10:30 pm, "Are you ready to go?" "No." Finally at 11pm the DJ played the last song and we HAD to go. Besides that, she was the only kid there left, I think!
The next day we went to church and she had to give the Good Reverend Dr. P a hug again. I told him it was the highlight of her Sunday, to give him a hug! We are really, really, REALLY going to miss him when he leaves this month. I'm going to miss his sermons, he's old school and makes even me want to be and act holy, which is a feat in itself. Then we met B. and T., my dearest friends from college, who were visiting from Dallas. We treated them to the zoo!
B. and I got a wild streak and actually crawled through this tunnel too. I was tired of seeing the baby always have all the fun! Unfortunately, it was kind of tough on us. Our knees hurt after doing it and we barely managed to squeeze out the other side!!!
The baby here with her Uncle T. Finally, after much zoo madness they followed us to our house where we met DH when he got off work. We went to dine at a local BBQ place near the house we'd never tried before. Good stuff.
Then we went for dessert at TCBY since it's, you know, healthy. Ha ha.
Monday, the holiday, was beach day! Tito J. had said that even if it rained he was still going down there, b/c now that he's into surfing, turbulent weather causes the best waves. B. and T. were also game, so down we all went! Also L. and her new man met us there.
S had to borrow Tito J.'s friend's surfboard and disappear for a little while. Unfortunately no one caught a good wave the entire day b/c they were just too small. I borrowed Tito J.'s boogie board and caught several good boogie waves, however. Finally, we ended the day when it truly became too cold and windy to be out there, though we did get a couple of good beach hours in! I broke out into hives while showering which S said was a reaction to the salt water. It was horrible! Then we went to Joe's Crab Shack, then we all bid adieu! S and I had to immediately head north to drop off the baby, sadly.Today I'll be picking her up since S decided not to start at Toyota until this pay cycle at Harley is over, next Thursday. So since we still need every last dollar, I said I'd just go get her today so he can work late. Unfortunately tomorrow I have to work at Job #2 and so she'll stay with my mom again, but I've got her b-day gifts wrapped and ready for her to open tonight, plus bought good snacks/provisions for tomorrow so hopefully it'll all go well. Sunday is her b-day party at the Chuck! Pic's to follow, asap!
