Over the Weekend...

As usual, we've had a busy, busy weekend around the Slaydon household!
We have VBS this week, and Justin and I spent the better part of Saturday getting my room ready, while Abigail, Aunt Courtney, and Austin went to the park and played!

Papa came in this weekend, too, so we went out to eat Saturday night with the Marks'.
We had a lot of fun as always, and were thoroughly entertained by two beautiful redheads.

When we got back to MeMe and Papa's, Ab and Ana played dress-up!
Abigail loved playing with Ana's lip gloss--she didn't take it out of her mouth all night!!

I love this next pic of her getting ready for church!
I just can't believe how big she's getting!
My baby is growing up TOO fast!

Twinkle Toes!

Sometimes when MyMy comes to visit, Abigail does not want to go to bed...
So she screamed and fought her way to sleep in front of her door!
It took all 3 of us to get the door open, pick her up, and get her back in her bed...

And no, she is NOT mistreated, so don't even start!!!

A Special Visit!

MyMy came for a visit this weekend and brought all sorts of presents!!
Here, Abigail is showing off her new LA Tech dress and her ladybug chair!
She LOVES her new chair!!


On Sunday, PawPaw came to visit!
Of course, Miss Priss had to show him all of her new stuff!


Abigail loves to read, especially about Firetrucks! She and PawPaw read lots of books!

What a fun weekend! We were so glad to have our special visitors!!

Deer Stands and Fish Frys!

It seems like this has just been a busy, busy summer this year!
We haven't done anything really big or gone on a vacation, but it seems like we never stop!!
Maybe it's because Abigail is older this year and we just get up and go more...
Either way, we're enjoying our summer out here in the woods, balancing our "work" with play!!

Even though deer season is a good 3 months away, it's never too soon to start getting ready!
We moved one of our stands across the road where we'd seen a lot of sign last year. We've been getting it set up and doing some work down our "shooting lane" so it'll look nice and pretty for all the big deer to step out in!! We've got our camera up, so hopefully I'll be able to share some pics of the deer before AND after I shoot them!!

Here's a pic of the princess and I way up in the new stand!
Just as I thought, she wasn't scared a bit!!

Today we had a little fish fry at the Westside station after church!
Here are a few pics!

Abigail was giving her Daddy a tour of the station!
He really ought to learn where everything is, you know!

Miss Priss loved driving the "fi-tuck"!
She wanted us to take it home when it was time to leave!!

She had a great time playing with the big girls, Sarah and Kaylee!

It took her a little while to warm up to everyone, but when she did--look out!!
She was entertaining everybody with her silly little self!!
As usual, she was the life of the party, and she fell fast asleep before we hit the Sugartown highway!!

Around the house...

We've enjoyed having a few extra days off this past weekend. Momma and Daddy got to go on a date Saturday night, we enjoyed a laid-back 4th, and we worked on one of the deer stands and put up some more salsa on Tuesday. It was a good combination of restful and productive!!

Tuesday, while Justin and I were making salsa all day, Abigail entertained herself as long as she could stand it. Aunt Courtney came to play with her for awhile, but we were in the kitchen most of the day.
She apparently grew tired of not being the center of attention, so she decided to move into the kitchen. And I do mean, MOVE IN!!

She got her toys and her cup and her Nunny and her nooner, packed it all in the cabinet, and settled her cute little behind on in!! She definitely made her point!!

When we got back from moving the deer stand, we were soaking wet, due to the not-so-sudden downpour! I jumped in the shower, thinking that Justin would grab Abigail when he got changed. WRONG!!

So she decided to help herself to Momma's makey while no one was looking!
She actually did a pretty good job and managed to keep the eyeliner on her eye!!
The face in the picture is because she was embarrassed, not because we fussed at her...
we couldn't, we were laughing too hard!!

Happy 4th of July!!

Here's Miss Priss on her way to church this morning!
We had a nice family nap afterwards, followed by a swim and a yummy steak dinner!
After all that, it was time for some fireworks!!
Uncle Matt dropped by to help us celebrate!

Popping Fireworks!


Too much excitement for one day!!

BBQ at the Blackburn's!

What fun we had Sunday afternoon at Mrs. Amie and Mr. Michael's house!!
Abigail's friend Madison invited her over for a BBQ and to swim in her big pool!!

Here are some pics!
