Breaking All the Rules of Country Livin'

One of the first rules you learn about country living is trips to "town" need to be few and far between - like ideally once a week or less.  You learn to think ahead on your grocery lists . . . when you go to the doctor you squeeze in a haircut too . . . all appointments on the same day or they have to wait until next week . . . if you forget something you most definitely do not drive back - you wait until next week or perhaps until your neighbor's "town" day . . .

Bearing this in mind, Saturday I broke that most important rule!!

We started off early at 8 a.m. driving in for Mason's 9 o'clock basketball game!  I am not sure a basketball career is in our near future!  But the good news was that it turns out my cousin's nephew is on our team so I enjoyed getting to catch up with Brandi, Justin, and Abigail because it's been a year at least since I'd seen her!

Then home for me to whip up a quick paper due that day and lunch and then back to town for a birthday party for another little cousin, Sam!  Happy 3rd Birthday Sam!  The party was at In the Zone a relatively new party place and it was so nice!  The staff did EVERYTHING (even wrote down the presents and who they were from!) and it was really clean!

Here's the boys having some fun!




After a quick stopover at my sister's, we headed home AGAIN!  Picked up a bit and I finally got some lunch and then headed to Haughton for our friend, Troy's birthday party!  Happy 36th Birthday Troy!!  Ryan & I suffered from a bit of a communication breakdown and we double booked ourselves and had to leave Troy's party early but as always his wife, Rachel, hosted a fabulous party!  The boys had fun playing outside with all the other littles!

From Haughton we headed over to Bossier to do some BOWLING!! Fun!  We met up with a few friends from church and had a great time!  Mason wanted to know where his treat bag was after we left and we tried to explain that we just went and it wasn't a birthday but he didn't get it!

Conner looked so precious in his bowling shoes!!

Three trips into town in one day is definitely a violation of the law in my neck of the woods but we are so blessed to have such awesome friends and family to hang out with!
