Let’s see, it’s mid-July now.\u00a0 More than two weeks have passed since my last post.\u00a0 For the most part, it’s been the same ole around here.\u00a0 Casey gets up during the week with Brady to spend a few hours with her before he goes to work, works 11-7p and is usually home before she goes to bed.\u00a0 Sometimes she’s overly fussy and just ready for bed and can’t be convinced to stay awake any longer.\u00a0 But it’s rare that I can’t keep her awake long enough for Casey to see her.\u00a0 Then on the weekend, I get up with Brady and Casey sleeps in.\u00a0 Even though it’s not first shift, the schedule really does work out well for us right now.\u00a0 Brady’s not much fun to take out to eat right now since she hates to be restrained and would much rather be running around at her leisure so we’ve been cooking a lot at home and catching up on TV.<\/p>\n
We tried giving 24 a chance and did make it through three seasons but it was very formulaic and the scenarios became interchangeable with previous episodes, some of it pretty far fetched.\u00a0 Not that far fetched is a bad thing because we finally finished the last season of Nip\/Tuck.\u00a0 They stayed true to the show and there were quite a few twists in the season but I was surprised and disappointed at home low key the finale was. \u00a0 Kevin pointed out that maybe the shock of the finale was that they went out low key after all the outlandish things that have happened during the series.\u00a0 Another show we’re trying to give a shot (after previous contestants were on The Amazing Race) is Big Brother.\u00a0 But so far, I’m just not impressed.\u00a0 First of all, there are three episodes a week.\u00a0 This seems a little excessive considering how well Survivor does (24 hours a day in seclusion as well).\u00a0 It’s a good thing it’s summer because I don’t think I would have given it nearly thins long if it was during the regular season.\u00a0 And except for True Blood and Top Chef, nothing else is on right now.<\/p>\n
For 4th of July we were invited down to San Antonio for a party at the Williams Family!\u00a0 Adele bought a smoker and Casey imparted some of his smoking wisdom and everything turned out great for her first time!\u00a0 There was tons of great food and it was no one’s fault but your own if you left hungry.\u00a0 We were down there from 4-12 and Brady didn’t sleep until 30 minutes before we’re getting ready to leave.\u00a0 Brady has been falling asleep on the way down there (usually 2 hour drive but sometimes can take 3), but I guess sleeping til 1 and not wanting to eat lunch before we left made her super cranky and I ended up having to pull over so Casey and her could share some fish (Goldfish) in the backseat.\u00a0 I was kind of surprised that Brady was not scared of the fireworks at all.\u00a0 I think it helped that people started shooting them off while it was still light out but from the get-go Casey and I just started saying yay every time and so she started saying yay and clapping and getting really excited for them.\u00a0 Casey posted a video on Facebook of her during the fireworks.\u00a0 I’ll see if I can pull that off of there and over here for the non-Facebookers to see.\u00a0 We were exhausted and didn’t get home til after 2 but had a really great time and fun 4th!<\/p>\n
Last weekend we went over to The Moore’s for a BBQ!\u00a0 They made lots of yummy kabobs and other assorted side dishes and we got to hang out and watch the kids play for a few hours.\u00a0 It was very relaxing and much less stressful than trying to meet at a restaurant anymore.\u00a0 Jude has a playscape with two slides, then a swing, a roller coaster thing, and a big kiddie pool so there is plenty to keep them busy (and wear them out).\u00a0 I got a few cute pics of the kids but none of the adults but that seems to my downfall these days.<\/p>\n
Casey and I got another date night this week too!\u00a0 Count that – #3!\u00a0 Wednesday, we put Brady to bed and Kevin stayed with her while Casey and I went out to Flores for some Mexican food.\u00a0 We’d both been craving queso for a week and it was nice to get out and have a leisurely meal out together.\u00a0 Thanks again, Kevin – we had a great time!<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
