The weekend before last and {BiTs & PieCeS}

The weekend before last...

in Texas...

Well, where should I start?  It was so bittersweet. We decided to take Tatum so she could see Momma Tex. Traveling a four hour trip with a two year old wet alot better than I envisioned it. We stopped in McAlester at the Ranch and visited with Nannie for about an hour, snacked on some goodies, Tatum had to ride the golf cart around, and we looked at Bizarre stuff. And the it was back on the road. The rest of the three hours she either slept or played with her baby dolls. Friday night, Momma Tex and Tex’s grand-momma took us out for dinner. Saturday, Momma Tex kept Tatum so me and Tex could drive to Ft. Worth where he’ll be working. It was a lonnnnng drive. We decided then and there that it was too long for him to drive there and back everyday. That was the bad part of the trip. Sunday, we had a family cookout for all the september birthdays.  There are three of us. After the cookout, Tex’s aunt & uncle {R & K} took us out to the most amazing restaurant I have ever been to. It was seafood and incredible delicious. It was great fun with family that we don’t get to see very often! And Monday was a sad day, we got in the pickup and had to go back to Oklahoma... 
Here are our {bits and pieces...}

one: yes, we let our 2yro drive.

two: small town saturday night.

three: auhhhh relaxation...

four: another pool pic.

five: nap time at mammy & pappy's.

six: where the green grass grows.

seven: road trippin'

eight: fried pickles and a shiner at Ketchup Burger Bar

Living without an alarm clock...

   Have I told you how nice it is not having to hassle with an annoying alarm clock anymore? As some of you may know, I quit my job last week. It wasn’t exactly how I planned to leave the company, but sometimes you have to make a decision. So i did. I have to say, it has been a nice little break. I’ve caught up on some much needed sleep, completed some unfinished projects, deep cleaned, and even packed a few boxes for our upcoming move. And the pups love the fact that Im home most of the day with them.

Tomorrow starts our weekend. I’m going to pick up Tatum in the morning and then I have a spray tan later in the afternoon. I hope y’all enjoy your Labor Day Weekend! We are planning on spending ours in Texas! See y’all in September!

XoXo, Ashley

tex's birthday bits + pieces..

We kidnapped Tex this weekend. I forgot the blind fold so we had to use my leggings... just until we picked up a bandana.

He wasnt happy about being blindfolded for an hour or about me driving his truck.

He has been wanting to go bowling so we had him a surprise bowling party!

  Tex got lots of presents! His favorite was a new bow case and a gift certificate for some new tattoos!

after we finished bowling we went to the arcade. tex got the new high-score for the punching bag!
