Where's the party??

Addison in her first outfit of the day (before she hid behind the bedroom door with a permanent marker and drew on herself. Luckily, I was able to get it out of her clothes).

My sweet man just sits back and observes the rest of the world.

Oh, Saturday--why must you go by so quickly? We started off the morning getting to sleep in until a record 7:15---don't laugh, but that is late around here! It was raining outside and I think the sound of the rain lulled my kids back to sleep once they started to stir early this morning. Once we got up and moving, Colin headed off to try to buy me a used SUV. Ever since he talked me into getting rid of my Sequoia two years ago because of gas prices, I have missed it. He recently gave in and decided that we could go back to an SUV... as long as we bought something used with moderate mileage and not brand new. We explored several options, but ultimately ended up getting a good deal on another Sequoia that was just traded in from a lease....so this is a week-early birthday present for me. This afternoon, we headed to Edwards for a family birthday party for cousin Zachary. He's been back in town from Texas to visit before school starts, so we had a hamburger cookout for him at the pool house. It's been a nice Saturday and I really dread the thought of Monday. Here are a few pics from our day. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
