Happy 4th Savannah!

Who is my Favorite 8 Year Old?

I came across some lost pictures from India.  Here's cousin Andrew.  Funny guy.  I love this kid.

And finally, I love everything about this picture!  A great one of all the grandkids and grandparents. :)  (Ahem........notice Grandma Anna trying to tame Ben's monkey ears on Andrew?)

Circus

A few weeks ago my mom took the kids and me to a circus in Sherman.  The kids had a blast, however, after seeing how these people made a very pregnant horse perform I've decided to never visit a circus again.....sorry to be such a Debbie Downer.  While it was happening I was in the audience sending an email to P.E.T.A.  (For real!!) I got a response from them basically saying that while some people would see the compassion lacking in this circumstance, many do not.  They went into detail about what really goes on behind the scenes and asked me to not buy any more tickets to a circus.

Here's a picture of Ben and Savannah (along with two other kids) getting an elephant ride.

Red Neck Date NIght

Recently David and I had a date night.  It was a dream night for him!!!  We started out at the gun range to shoot guns (turns out I'm actually a really good shot!!!).  Oh and I had the perfect outfit for it!!!  Camo jacket, jeans, and boots.  :)   Then we headed to Hooters for wings.  Then to BJ's for dessert.  We really had a good time.
