All about July

This month is just flying by and I can't believe I haven't talked about any of it. Well, here it goes...

One of my best childhood friends (we've been friends since 3!) got married July 4th weekend in Bentonville, AR. We had such a wonderful weekend with friends and family. I was in the wedding so a HUGE thanks to Devin, GiGi and Papa (my parents) and Aunt Jenny for helping out with the girls all weekend. Oh, and Aunt Jenny's friend Sarah who helped out as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's not easy entertaining toddlers in a hotel!

The next weekend my amazing husband sent me to the Crescent Spa for a massage and some girl time with my friend Amy. Amy has a daughter Landry that is 6 months younger than Kate and Lily. They seem so far apart in age but in reality they'll be in the same class for school. We're hoping they'll be life long friends! Doug (Amy's husband) and Devin took the girls to the Arboretum and then back to our house to play. We joined them later in the afternoon and we enjoyed a new fun drink called Skinny Firefly iced tea. It's so good but I do recommend mixing it with a little lemonade. I've also been enjoying Bethenny Frankel's Skinny Girl Margarita this summer and highly recommend that as well.

And then just this last weekend Devin and I got to have a "staycation" at our house. My parents live in Shreveport so we each drove an hour and half and met in Tyler. We ate dinner and then we left in my parents car and they left in our car with the girls. We had such a nice weekend but honestly, we missed the girls! Our house was SO quiet (and clean!) without them here. We ate some delicious food; Urbano was our favorite and then we saw Horrible Bosses one afternoon and it was well, horrible. But it was so nice to go see an afternoon movie, something we used to do all the time but now is a luxury.

So that's what's been going on in July. It's crazy hot in Dallas so we're all looking forward to the Fall already.
