Good morning! happy July 2! We are now officially in my BIRTHDAY MONTH! So who watched the Olympic Gymnastics team trials last night? I have been watching men’s and women’s since Thursday, I’m hooked! I think the selection committee got it right for ladies gymnastics. I loved seeing the girls come out with tears in their eyes, I was so excited for them and I know their families and friends must be so proud. I can’t wait for the Olympics and am so stoked to see all the athletes competing for the great USA!!! Can’t you tell I’m patriotic?!?
Ok, wait, let’s back up a bit before we get to my outfit! This weekend we went to my parents house because we had some business in town plus a wedding to go to. You may have seen a couple of photos I posted on yesterday’s post about the wedding. So we got into town Friday evening and the girls were thrilled as usual to see Grammy and Grandpa.
Saturday was the wedding in New Orleans. Hello NOLA!
The ceremony was very nice, but the heat was killing me just walking into the church!
and the reception was right next to the superdome where my beloved Saiints play football!
We ate plenty of food and listened to awesome cajun music with plenty of fun and dancing.
They even had a photo booth! When I saw the Minnie and Mickey ears we of course, had to take photos! I love how ours came out.
Sunday morning, we got up and ran 5.5 miles in this lovely heat wave. It was slow an steady, and I was so happy to be done! It was a cut back week for us, so we have ten miles next Saturday.
We showered and packed up and headed to my cousins house for a 4th of July BBQ.
Yes my dad is wearing a headband
so. much. food.
my mom made cookies and these awesome cake ball type things, but better!
my cousin made these strawberries
my crafty mom put this together as well
We ate, we swam in the pool, good times were had by all, but now I need a weekend to recover from the weekend! Anyone else?
QOTD: What did you do this weekend? Any 4th of July celebrating?
we are just gear up for ours on WEDNESDAY 🙂
cant wait.
Looks like such a fun weekend! I love the dress you wore to the wedding!
Your dress is super cute! Looks like you guys had a great weekend!! :0) Those strawberries are too cool!
thanks friend!
Love, love, love your dress! Looks like a really fun weekend. We are at the shore for the next few days to catch the 4th activities. Loving it!
sounds fabulous! have fun.
Happy birthday month! (Mine too!)
happy bday month!
I ate me some gator sausage while dealing with some crazy in-laws…
hey now
What a fun weekend!! I was at a wedding this weekend too (obvi in NoLa)! It was SO HOT!! Not sure how the bride didn’t melt 😉
Where did you run Sunday?
I know it was brutal. So glad it was an indoor wedding. The one I went to was at the seminary and reception downtown at the hyatt.
I ran in my parents neighborhood in Mandeville on Sunday. 🙂
Our girls love when Grammy and Grampy come to visit too. Mandie has someone to take looooooooooooong naps with her and Melodie has someone to take her on lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng walks.
they spoil the crap out of these dogs. I fear for when I have kids!
My weekend was spent napping. Anytime baby girl takes a nap, dad thinks it’s a splendid idea and joins in on the fun. I’m saving my 4th of July celebration for this wednesday when I venture into 5k territory.
Happy 4th!
sounds like a good weekend to me!
Our 4th of July is starting with a 4 mile run downtown then it’s off for family fun and hopefully a pool!!
sounds fabulous and fun!
so fun! you look great. And i love cajun food. Great wedding!
When is your bday? mine is this month too!
mine is the 13th! falls on a friday this year, eek!
I love the pictures of you in the photo booth – too adorable!
