Remember when....

I think I heard "remember when" at least 100 times this past weekend. But of course, that's what you do when you haven't seen your high school friends in 20 years! Wow, 20 years!
We had a wonderful time in Mexia. Friday night after Leven's volleyball game (yes they won!) we headed to Mexia to try and catch halftime. And we did. Thank goodness...another 15 miles we probably would've put Taydem out on the side of the road, ha! kidding of course. We visited the whole second half and then headed out for the night! We ended up at Leven's good buddy Sonny's house until about 2 am!

We woke the next morning to the smell of sausage, bacon, eggs, gravy and biscuits! Yummy! Thank you Gwen for cooking us breakfast. We stayed and visited with Leven's dad for a couple of hours and then we were off again. His class was meeting at the Reunion Grounds for a family picnic. There was sooooo much food. We could not have asked for better weather. I don't think it got past 85 and the breeze was wonderful! Everytime I looked for Taydem her hands were back in the Cheeto bag or someone's coolor sneaking a drink!

After about 3 hours we left for Leven's mom's house. Leven's brother's family was also in that weekend and it was such a joy to get to hang out with them. Ann cooked some good spaghetti for everyone, we watched a little football, Mike took the boys in the back yard to shoot some guns and we just relaxed. I thank Ann and Mike so much for watching Taydem that night. She is getting to be a hand full these days and they were both so patient with her. Taydem follows Mike around like a little puppy dog. She loves him! Thank you a bunch. While the kids stayed home and watched TV and played card games all night, we headed out to The Cowboy (a honky tonk there in Mexia) to meet up with Leven's classmates for one last night of fun! Again, we didn't get home until after 2 am!

Tons of fun-new memories-new friends
