The weekend has been a whirlwind of fun activities --all with Lance's family. They'd been exposed to Ella and Mia's hand/foot/mouth situation, and my family was looking to avoid that mess (can't blame 'em). I MISSED THEM THOUGH!
You can see on the picture of Sabrina that her mouth still has some sores on it. Heartbreaking! ...She does have a bit more of an appetite now, so that's good. It's been a slow recovery and we're not there yet... Mia is modeling the newest trend in super fun 4th fashions (thanks, Walmart!).
Scotty and I were on the water-weenie, and I was in the back. I'm NO good if I can't see where I'm going and lean to steer it! I was a fraction of time behind what he was trying to do, and when we hit a nasty wake (at around 35 mph), I knew we'd go down, not because of what I saw (Scotty's BACK), but because of the balance. It was really quite terrifying! {Even now, I can feel exactly how I felt when I knew I'd be thrown -and it gives me chills} I was thrown like a rag doll and hit and skidded on the water in an unnaturally ungraceful manner!!! Later, Scott was water skiing, and I was filming it with Donny's camera. He'd just let go into the water, and I told Donny -who must have cut the engine (or slowed down SUPER FAST somehow) and turned sharply... It threw me in the boat and I hit the side of my head on the dash pretty hard. I had an instant headache and rode into shore still sitting on the floor of the boat working through it, and repeatedly answering three little voices (Aneesa, Chaston, and Ella): "are you okay???"
Yeah, a little more scared of the boat/ weenie than I was earlier. Go easy on me, Donny!
I love this time of year. I love that we get to gather with people who are important to us, and celebrate living in the most amazing country in the world.
My bff Erin's boyfriend is in the service and just shipped out. Bless his heart, I am so grateful that there are people like him, willing to fight for what we hold so precious --and in turn, people like Erin, who stand by them. God bless America and those who made it so incredible.

Looks like you had a terrific weekend! Your girls looked so cute decked out in their red, white and blue attire. xoxo
Great weekend! Haha, I remember water weenies...
Well said!! And what fun with the girls and your man.
I'm glad you had a good time, although we missed you too! I'm sorry Donny was so rough on you! Are you feeling better?
Bless your heart, we missed you! Only 2 weeks from tomorrow we leave for the Reunion!
That is hilarious! I've never seen a water weenie, but bucking on the water weenie sounds pretty spectacular!
