i'm taking a break from my beach pictures to post our fun weekend.
mckinlee had been in waco for a week while chris & i went to baltimore (business for him, shopping for me!) i went to pick her up and stay for a few days with my mom.
saturday evening we went out to where my uncle has basically built a lake. it's used for ski competitions and it's just beautiful.
mom, mj & danielle on our trek to get to the pavilion
(you know how i love pictures from behind!)

as we were coming up to the bridge someone was just crossing it
close up of bridge--so cool!
this was my first time out here. apparently it was nothing but flat land...look at it now.
so pretty!
the band played and we sat around and talked, laughed & ate homemade ice cream.
mck getting to visit with some of her friends.
then she got to go home with brooke for a sleepover.
sunday morning danielle & mom went to the store and i watched sadie.
we had fun playing with her basket of toys. i think she's going to be a neat freak...when i would pull out more stuff, she would say "put it back" and put the toy back before we got another one!
here she is playing with my doll, mary, from when i was her age!
then we went out on the porch where she entertained herself with mom's little fridge.
more neat freak glimpses...she put a water bottle by those 2 sprite bottles and then the other sprite on the other side. she looked at it and said "oh!" and then repositioned everything so all the sprite bottles were together! ha!
(look at her in her little purple toms--too cute!)
sunday night mom & i made homemade ice cream and it was so yum! we didn't even know it was national ice cream day--what a coincidence.
(that would explain why it was so hard to find rock salt!)
here's my bowl...vanilla with chocolate chips and pecans!
me & mom on their beautiful porch
and danielle
monday we went over to help a friend get ready for her bridal portraits.
i did her nails & danielle did her hair & make-up.
here we all are watching the progress.
and the finished product (well, almost--she poofed her bangs a little more)
this is lauren.
we were at the hospital the day she was born and now she's getting married.
i feel old.
here we are with anita, lauren's mom, before we left.
danielle's getting in to zumba. so monday night we plugged in mom's wii and got busy.
(this was to work off all that ice cream we had the day before!)
finally, a little glimpse of the quick photo shoot we did with sadie on tuesday before we came home.
look at her in her tea party outfit--too adorable!
then we moved to the backyard.
stayed tune.
more sadie pictures to come...
