weekend at the cabin

Two weekends ago we were invited up to our friends, Ron and Amy's cabin for a family weekend. We we headed up on Saturday around noon so that the kids could catch a cat nap on the way up, which they did. Since they were all rested they were rarin' to go once we arrived. They wasted no time digging into the toys and as soon as our other friends Lisa and Dan arrived, Tootie immediately made friends with Lisa. Aren't they cute together...matching blue eyes!

Audrey was enthralled with Lisa's chunky jewelry. I guess my el cheapo fake diamond pendant isn't nearly as interesting!

And here is Audrey's version of giving loves...leaning in to get a kiss!

This is Ron and Amy's little girl, Kaitlyn. Isn't she just a honey?!? She is such a sweet and polite little girl. Maybe she was just being shy around us, but she has way more manners than my two kids put together and she is only 20 mos old!

And this is Amy with her little Darlin'. You'll see more of Amy soon, just wait!


And this is our little fox friend that was scampering through the woods near their cabin.

Both Audrey and Kaitlyn had fun eating 'with' or should I say near each other.

I wish my kids had as good of eating habits are Kaitlyn. She eats all of her protein and veggies so well. Audrey is pretty good and will try most things and she will far out eat Grant. He is pretty much a pizza and chocolate milk kind of kid. He will eat lettuce salads now. Yeah! (isn't that just terrible that I have to be excited over a lettuce salad!)

Oh, and have you ever met...Genie (Gene Simmons daughter that is!) Check out that tongue...she could easily be an offspring of KISS!

Okay, she doesn't quite have the hair for it yet, but give her a couple of years. I think she may end up with some curls.

Here is our little fisherman's first success. He went out fishing with the big boys and had to come in and show me one of their trophy's. Not sure if he actually caught this one but he sure was proud of it!

I just love his little alfalfa sprout he was sporting all weekend. I bet they all thought I don't ever comb my kids hair! He has since received a hair cut an the mess is much more manageable now!

A big congratulations goes out to our friends Dan and Lisa who just got hitched this past weekend. Don't you think this would've made the best engagement picture?????

Okay, so once the kids were put to sleep, we poured a few drinks and Amy rolled out the ever famous karaoke machine. Amy just so happens to be the self proclaimed "Queen of Karaoke" see for yourself!

Oh, did I mention that she has a stash of hats and wigs that all must wear during the 'performance'? And this is a picture of 'Rocker Mama" on the lead guitar. Lisa is 4 1/2 mos pregnant with their first child (a boy) and you can not even tell! Lucky girl.

Two hot karaoke mamas!

Go ahead, show us your thang!

Boy, I am glad I had the camera this night. Keeps me from looking silly like the rest of the folk!

Did I just say silly...I meant distinguished. Nope...I really did mean silly!

This is Ron, Amy's (the cowgirl) hubby. Giddy-up Ron!

And this is the cowboy with my hubby the gangsta!

And here is the entire 'motley crew'!

And these last two were earlier in the day, but were two of my favorites. The pictures speak for themselves...simple and beautiful!

I suppose I better go make my son a milkshake since he has been begging me since 7 pm.

Night night, ya'll!
