The Hummer House

Pops and DD rented all of us a place in Christoval very close to the Chapel called The Hummer House. It is kind of a compound with three house in three different sizes on beautiful grounds set right off the lake. They stayed in the Hummer House while her parents stayed in The Hideaway, and Kyle and I's families stayed in the Lodge, the biggest of the three.

Saturday everybody gathered in The Lodge for a dual birthday party.

Very typically, Kyle and Myra manned the grill for burgers and dogs,

and we all chowed down.

The bride and groom dropped by for a little bit before they headed out for their honeymoon.

And most of Dawn's family headed out. Kyle and Daddy went to the deer lease while Myra and Connor went to do a little shopping. Joey and I just hung around the house with the kids. While Blaine and McKenzie were playing in their clubhouse they made, McKenzie got an unexpected surprise. She stepped on a sticky mouse trap. When she couldn't get off of it, she just took her socks off and brought it to Joey to "fix".

Since Emily is going to school in San Angelo and she and Conner are friends, she and Myra picked up Emily to bring her out so I could see her face!

The kids were as excited to see her as I was! They acted like Justin Bieber showed up. They had pillow fights and wrestling matches, played charades and truth or dare.

They even made Blaine a toilet paper mummy.

It was a great weekend with lots of food, family, friends, laughs, and memories. I can't ask for more than that.
