Haley had a great time at church camp and even reported that it was more fun than last year (she still wants Grammie to go next year though!)When I was helping her pack up her stuff, she told me that there were some older girls that were really nice to her and an older boy that was nice too. I quickly reported to Jay about the guy, because Haley blushed a little when she said it. While waiting for the awards to be given out, the older kids meandered to their table and THE "nice" boy gave her a pat on the head as he walked by. Jay nudged me and we teased her about it, BUT I can proudly report that he was wearing an AGGIE cap!
Macey and Emily spent a couple of days at Nana's where they once again went to Sam Moon without me (a really good CHEAP jewelry store), they swam til they had webbed feet and they got lots of great school clothes. Nana even reported that they got along with each other pretty well, so for those wondering, threatening your children is effective.
They then went to Chica's house, I mean Grammie and Poppa's house. Chica is Poppa's horse, I mean Chica is the grandkids horse that Poppa so nicely trains, feeds, and boards! Anyway- the girls LOVE riding Chica and helping to take care of her. They also made bags and Birthday cans for their friends with Grammie. They think Grammie has always been crafty and that I should know how to do these things since my mom does, oh well. Then we all spent the day at the beach before heading back home.
Once back at home the girls and I have spent A LOT of time at the pool. It seems regardless of the day we are always able to run into friends there. Jay meanwhile has really taken an interest in the horse that we are keeping for a friend of mine. I have to remind him as he starts to look for HIM a saddle or various other things that WE don't have a horse yet. But it fun to watch him work her in the evenings!
Finally, we made a quick trip to Dallas this past week. Jay had a "business" trip to a Rangers game and the wives were allowed to attend as well. This was our second Rangers game of the year and they lost both times and each game was an adventure. The first game Jay and a few other dad's had 4th row seats, while the girls and I sat in center field with our ponchos on in the rain. I am glad the girls like baseball, but we may have carried it a bit too far by sitting in the rain. This last game was in a private box with a catered meal....MUCH BETTER!!!! The girls missed it though, although I know that they had a great time! They were able to stay at Jay's aunt's house, where they swam and made bracelets. Not just ordinary bracelets, but really cute bracelets from a huge selection of beads that Aunt Pattie has. BTW- Thanks Aunt Pattie, the girls had a great time!!!
And now as I type my youngest is at the deer lease with Jay and her uncles and cousin. She looked so cute this morning in her boots, ratty jeans and camo shirt with her BB gun. Some feel sorry for Jay having so many girls in his home, but when you have daughters that like baseball, want to hunt, play golf with dad, ride horses, it is a wonder that I was still able to talk the other two girls' into the pool today, Hobby Lobby and Justice. We are two very lucky, very proud, and very happy parents!!!!!
