Weekend Fun!

Friday night we headed to Tyler to watch the Mexia Ladycats play Tyler Lee in a warm-up volleyball game. They lost, but did very well playing against a 5A school. 


Saturday morning Leven had volleyball practice and then he relaxed around the house ALL day while Taydem and I headed to Henderson for the Tall Pines Festival. Truitt was singing the National Anthem around 6 so we got there early so Taydem could play some games. We met up with Danin and rode with her over there. Taydem is terrified of ANYONE dressed in a costume. When I say "terrified" I mean she breaks down, loses it, shakes, cries, covers her eyes, etc. So right when we get to the festival, someone is dressed in a McGruff Crime Dog costume. OMG! As she walked by it, she covered her eyes and was saying "No, no, no" over and over to herself. After he passed her she grabbed on to me and put her head between my legs. Her body was shaking out of control! Poor thing. So the rest of the day Danin and I kept a look out for the dog and dodged him in every way possible. I guess she won't be sitting in Santa's lap this year.....!

We watched a puppet show, got her face painted, she rode on a pony ride (while Danin walked around with, and started getting dizzy walking in circles-ha!) and we watched some bands sings. Finally Truitt got ready for his big performance. My dad's parents also came so they could hear him sing. This part of the program was dedicated to Veterans so Papaw had folks coming up to him the whole time thanking him for serving our country. He was actually the ONLY one there that had served in World War II. I know he felt super special and we were all proud of him. When they called Truitt up to sing he started to panic. He got on stage and told Chrissy he wanted her up there with him. That was pretty funny! I know Chrissy was freaking out at the time. But he made it through the song and a smile on all of our faces! Good Job Truitt!!

Taydem was wore out! 

Yesterday morning we headed to church and I snapped a few pictures of Taydem and Trever before!

That afternoon we headed back to the church for Festival 31. Our church puts this festival on every year for families in our community. Huge blow up bouncers, food, candy, games, hay rides, etc. Taydem had a blast and she looked tutu cute in her lady bug costume. We ran into Dustin and Molly and their kids and they were dressed as Peter Pan, Captain Hook and Tinker bell! Adorable!! 

Tonight is Leven's first volleyball play off game! They play Greenville in Lindale! Hopefully we will come away with a win.
