July 4th weekend

I'll go ahead and combine from Saturday the 3rd through Monday the 5th.
We had a fun/family filled weekend, for the most part.
It didn't start out as planned. We had planned and bought tickets for the Frisco Rough Riders, a local triple A team here but it was just a constant rain Friday night and so they canceled the game. This ruined Jackson's mood until my clever hubby suggested ice cream, yes the magical words. Suddenly our frowns were turned upside down and we made a stop by our local ice cream shop, Double Dip.

Saturday was a lazy day yet again due to the rain. Jeff started smoking a brisket for a party we were invited to on the 4th and we just hung out and played and watched some movies. The upside was that night when we went and parked out by the Frisco soccer fields and watched some awesome fireworks. Jackson kept asking to see "star wars" and for the life of Jeff and I we could NOT figure out why he suddenly wanted to watch star wars?? Well then he said yes the lights in the sky, "star wars". haha! Funny kid, you mean fireworks? Oh yes, "fire wars!!"

Sunday was a great day, we were invited to one of Jeff's old college buddies house, the Carrington's. They have a nice pool and invited a few other families over as well, it was fun.
Jeff brought our two briskets that he smoked for 20 hours on Saturday through Sunday morning and some ice cold drinks! Jackson was in heaven with the pool and the trampoline and an over abundance of young kiddos mostly all boys for once! We had a great time with friends!

Monday was a great lazy day as well. Just caught up on our lack up sleep from Sunday night and hung out and relaxed. We had a late lunch and cleaned the house and mowed the lawn. Overall it was a nice relaxing weekend, too bad it rained so much but I know we definitely needed it!
Here's a great picture of how the weekend ended, God's promise!
