Weekend Festivities

This weekend was so great! It started off with my parents arriving Thursday afternoon. There was a lot of time spent with the granddaughter and the granddogs.  Savannah, Bandit, and Marley were all SO happy to see Gamma and Grrdad.

On Friday, I graduated!  Except for the fact that they pronounced my name wrong when I walked across the stage, the ceremony was nice and thankfully didn't last too long.  I am so glad to be finished with my Master's degree so I can focus all of my attention on being a wife to Cory and mother to this little squirt.

After the graduation ceremony, we all went to eat at Saltgrass then mom and I went shopping while the guys went to Lone Star Park to cash in their winning tickets from the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness.  Dad made out like a bandit at one of them.

When mom and I got home, I had a surprise waiting on me!  A new digital camera!!!  It is so stinkin' awesome!  I've already gone crazy taking pictures with it ... and let me just say ... they are WAY better than the pics my old camera took. 

Since Friday was so eventful, we spent most of the day Saturday just hanging out around the house.

This is Cory thinking twice about his choice of gift.

I also discovered two of the greatest snacks EVER!  Dr. Pepper made with real sugar and cinnamon sugar kettlecorn.  Neither is conducive to getting back my pre-pregnancy body I might add.

But going back to the subject of the new camera ... in addition to it and two lenses, I got a tripod which made it possible to take this family picture before the Hall of Fame game Sunday night.  Go Cowboys!!

Savannah was very focused on the game.

And cheered when the Boys scored a touchdown!
