Labor Day Weekend ~ 2008

We had a great Labor Day weekend.

The kids greeted their TT and Mikey with big hugs and flowers.  TT's first request... real mexican food at her Arizona favorite, Carolina's.  Second request, shopping at Nordstrom... I love my Sister!!!

Lot's of GiGi lovin.

The girls spent most of Saturday antiquing and shopping at the Pine/Strawberry Arts & Crafts Festival.  My little sister and I couldn't resist trying on these Little House on the Prairie bonnets.

Our favorite finds of the day... a vintage box purse for Miss Gracie and this beautiful turquoise beeded necklace and cute red vase for me.  We also found an adorable vintage apron with rickrack and cactus on the pockets for Shannon.

While we were shopping, the boys hung out at the local Saloon.

After we finished spending all of our money, we joined them.... for Shirley Temples,

and dancing.

We had a great family dinner on Saturday night.  Uncle Jimmy dazzled the kids with his car.  (Grammie said the rumors are flying at church about the squad car that was parked in front of her house).

 Cousins.

We took Mikey-Mike to his very first Rodeo.

The Rodeo Announcer said "GIT IT DONE" at least 500 times.

At the rodeo the kids practiced their roping skills,

painted horses,

and enjoyed lots of TT kisses.

We also had breakast at The Beeline Cafe (I used to crave their biscuits and gravy when I was pregnant with Gracie), swam at the indoor pool in our hotel, played in the rain and caught giant bugs at the Rodeo.

Yee Haw!!!
