Mother's Day/ Father's Day

Let's see if I can catch up on this blog thing...

and let me tell you, its very weird looking at the pictures- we miss our Arlington family dearly!

1st off, Mother's Day.

tried to capture some pictures before church. ha.

Took a snooze on the couch and then watched Tom make a giant layered cookie cake for our family dinner

 Margaret Gray gave me a notepad and pen and Henry chose a tortilla warmer to honor me. Perfect gifts, if I say so.

Then we headed over to PawPaw and PatPat's and enjoyed a nice steak dinner. Fancy :)

PawPaw had a "Dot Race" planned. 

PatPat, Kate, and I were the "Dots". Everyone got prizes! 

It was a good day. 

I felt very honored.

 I love being the mom to my dear RooRoo, Mosey Gray, and Simon James.

Father's Day started out well, considering Tom and I had a night away the night before in Dallas. Sleeping in was pretty sweet and we enjoyed a relaxing brunch.

Later that afternoon, we headed over to the Wood's.

Watching golf. I think he was pretty happy.

Kids enjoyed swimming.

The Whitesides were in town and Simon and Gwyneth enjoyed playing with each other.... I tell you, these 2 are going to be trouble. :)

MG was feeling a little under the weather.... a by "under the weather", I mean by the time we left she was burning with fever :( 

That didn't slow down her artistic expression. :)

So, Kate and Brent have started running a photo booth business.

Lucky for us! We have had so much fun with it. 

What's a Father's Day party without a bit of photo booth action?!

 Evie and Alice

 Simon and his beloved  PawPaw

 Ryan and his girls

MG, PawPaw, and Ella

  Ryan and Mary Pat.  Very cute.

 Very very cute.

I'm so glad PawPaw got in on the action. 

The kids are going to love having these pictures with him.

 Dinner of burgers and baked beans.

 Simon has become a master dipper of his chips in the beans... how they should be eaten.

8 of the 18 grandchildren 

PawPaw got a swanky baseball glove.  

 We had to get a family photo before we left.

 Simon needed a little help not falling off the stool.

Tom is a fantastic dad. We are so thankful for him! 

Yay Tom :)
