Fourth of July! (recap)

    My mom came out for the weekend and it was AWESOME!!

    She got me the greatest present!! I have a strange love for gnomes that started in high school and I am working on collecting them...somehow...

We haven't named him yet. But if you can't tell, he's holding a football! We thought about naming him Jimmer, but that won't work with the wrong sport's ball...

    Saturday we went out to eat at Martin's BBQ Joint and it was soooo yummy! Jared and I had been before, but it was just as yummy the second time. I got the pulled pork, Jared got the ribs and Mom got the smoked turkey.

    Sunday was fun at church and the cookout we had went well! It was picnic style. We cut up half the delicious watermelon, got chips, defrosted the hamburger and got the cooler full of stuff to take to Pinkerton Park.

 This was our table. From the left over, there is a jug of water, ketchup, bbq sauce, container of corn, bowl of watermelon, my half eaten cob of corn, salt, pepper, butter for the corn. At the right, just out of the photo is a bag of lay chips.

    Jared made the best burgers! It was his first time grilling them outside and he did such a great job!

    The rest of the night was relaxing and we just had a good time together. We were full from dinner and decided to take a fun walk around the agricultural center to work off the food.

    On the fourth, we made an amazing breakfast! We had waffles, bacon and eggs. But the toppings for the waffles was what made it great! We had whipped cream, blue berries and strawberries! So they were red, white, and blue!

 This was my delicious blob :)

Jared made a flag. What a cutie!

    After a trip to Walmart to fill our cupboards and fridge and freezer and build our food storage and get a home improvement gift, we went to the mall!

Hooray a full fridge!!

Mom got us a table! Now we can have our cooler in storage. The table matches our other furniture perfectly and it looks great!!

    The Mall at Green Hills was pretty fun, not much I could afford, but there were some fun sales. Mom got some stuff for James because she's great.

    It was such a fun weekend. I absolutely love my Mom and I can't wait for her to come back again. It'll be even more fun if she can get the rest of the fam to come! James would have fun chillin by the pool and we would have fun eating out at cool places.
