Well, well, well…I had a busy Saturday, how about you?
First, we had our Saturday morning tradition of whole-wheat chocolate chip pancakes, then, Sheaffer and I had the privilege of meeting these awesome ladies…

…and then, I picked out light fixtures for the new house and ended the night with a double birthday party for my cousin Brooke and her hubby Austin. It was such a great weekend! (Especially, since the last 3 weekends consisted of us just boxing, packing and moving!)
Brooke and Austin (and their niece Paisley)…Brooke’s birthday was Saturday and Austin’s is tomorrow.
Brandon and Casey
This is her look of disbelief when I told her she could not have jawbreakers…
Papa Jay and my boy
So…you probably figured out the Brooke part…but what about the book part??? Hmmm…it has to do with Big Mama‘s new book (the fabulous lady in the middle of the top picture!)…stay tuned and later this week, I’ll let you know how you can win your own autographed copy. It’s the perfect book for a mom.
Have a great Monday!

How long do the rose ceremony's last? They always begin at dark and end when its still dark. Also on the first day how long did that last? All 26 girls arrived when it was dark and then the cocktail party and talking to all the girls!

Looks like a fun group of girls! I really wanted to go to that but had a schedule conflict 🙁
Random question…..did you guys go to Lamar? I did (but I'm way older than you!) and somewhere I heard that you did as well? If so, small world!

I graduated from Irving High but Sean graduated from Lamar. After I graduated, he transferred to Lamar and finished out his last year and a half of high school there.
And as for the rose ceremonies, they take place in the middle of the night and take a very long time to film!
