Weekending

I have to cheat a little and post a couple of pics from last weekend. I forgot to post them and they're just too fun not to share.

Some close friends of ours recently moved out of Westchase down to South Tampa, and although we were super sad to see them leave, we've already been to their new house twice in a month. Not bad considering they moved from 2 minutes away to 25 minutes away. Fortunately for us, distance will not keep us apart!

Their new house is amazing! And we went down there to watch the Gator game last Saturday. (Yes, the game that started at 6 p.m.) Needless to say, we brought the kids pajamas and they were all watching TV in bed by 8:30 p.m.

(When I grow up, I want a house like theirs! Isn't that chandelier and bed so beautiful?!?!?!)

A closer view of the kiddos:

And I don't even think we got out of their driveway before the kids looked like this:

FAST asleep!

This past weekend was full of fun, friends and baseball.

Friday afternoon we stopped by Brian's office to pay a visit (you may have seen the Facebook video of Payton calling the Lego company from Brian's desk). Then we hit the new Dunkin Donuts next door for a little mother-son afternoon donut date!

The kids were SO happy.

Saturday night, Payton had his best little friend sleep over. They both love to play Minecraft on the computer, so they set up side-by-side at the kitchen table with their computers.

Then Parker came up and joined them. I think he was hoping he would fit in with his Elmo book. :)

Brian cooked out hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill and Parker was his little side-kick all evening.

He helped carry out the charcoal:

And stood patiently with it until Brian was ready:

Parker literally watched every step Brian made with the grill. He was quite enthralled. 

Then we enjoyed a yummy dinner al fresco!

And after little man went to bed, the big kids watched "The Lorax" while enjoying ice cream sundaes.

Since Saturday night's grilled dinner was such a success, we decided to do it again on Sunday night. But this time, it was cedar plank salmon. YUM-O! The kids love it, the adults love it - win, win.

And again, Parker watched every step on the grill:

And then enjoyed a little hammock time with Daddy:

 Kisses!

And then Brian decided it was time for a little potty training..."guy style."

Nothin' like peeing in the yard!

(I hope that makes you laugh)

It was a wonderful family weekend. And today the weather has been SO nice. It's still warm, but the humidity is way down, so it actually feels cool outside. No complaints here!!!
