Getting ready to leave the house in Dallas - to visit HOME - Augie, as always, had plenty of fun playing while we were packing!
Upon arrival, we hung out a little bit and then quickly decided that we should go and see our land while it was still day light.
We were VERY, VERY, EXTREMELY excited to finally get to see our land. It was a nightmare to get the keys, but we did finally get them. And we got to use them. AND THEY WORKED!!!
Our land is a little over-grown. There are LOTS of trees, rocks, shrubbery, etc. that you find out in the country. Especially when no one is there to clear/care for it.
Step 1: Get it surveyed so we know where the lines really are.
Step 2: Finalize house plans. :)
Step 3: Decide where house will go.
Step 4: CLEAR THE LOT FOR OUR FUTURE HOME!!!!
While in our new subdivision, we drove around a bit. We saw MANY animals roaming about - as I'm sure we will continue to in our lives there. This time was interesting though. It seemed as if every doe had 2 fawns with her. There were mommies and babies everywhere!!!
After deciding to drive down to the pool to see how it was kept, we were surprised to drive up and see a PEACOCK sitting on the fence. It was just perched there - just hanging out! What a crazy, beautiful creature!!!
The feathers were REALLY long - so long - that Martin decided he wanted one. Nice try brother!
No success - our fun was cut short by the "dinner bell" - a.k.a. my phone ringing and Dad telling us dinner was ready.
There's never enough time in a day . . . We finished our dinner, spent some time hanging out, and went to bed to get up early for the 4th!
We started Sunday with pancakes! MMMmmmmmmmmmm - Delicious!
Even Augie got to enjoy his own SPECIALLY MADE, WITH LOVE, PANCAKE!
Thanks Gamma Lopez!
Then, of course, there was church time . . . followed by BBQ and family time!
We all wore our "spirit wear." Red, white, and blue were all over the place.
One with Daddy-O . . .
And one with Momba . . .
Augie was definitely the most patriotically dressed!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!
We spent the afternoon at Marci and John's house.
(You know you live in the country when a goat hangs out on your driveway.)
There was lots of room. Lots of family. And lots of GREAT BBQ!!! There's no better way to spend the 4th.
We even got to see family that we don't often have the chance to spend time with. Uncle Joe was here from Arizona. No pictures available- this time. And my cousin Marcela and her little boy Xavier. He is 15 months old - and he and Augie were very interested in each other! It was lots of fun!
Augie ended the day by enjoying some pizza.
The rest of us ended the day with some NICE down time at Mom and Dad's house. Unfortunately, the next day started a little early (4:00am) so that we could miss the holiday traffic. We'll be catching up on that missed sleep for awhile . . .
So, we hope everyone had a warm, bar-b-qued, patriotic, family filled, restful 4th of July!!!
