Girls weekend continued!

My sister Heather didn't make it in tell  A little before lunch time Saturday.  My mom made plans to take us in to the stock yards to watch a long horn cattle run and of course to do some shopping.  The cattle run was entertaining, the long horns were beautiful.  There were also a million bbq and food joints all around us.  Plus several family oriented things to do like a train ride around the stock yards and a petting zoo.  But my favorite part was the shopping.  We went into some of the neatest shops from authentic jewelry, to souvenir shops, and boot/clothing boutiques.  I managed to do a little shopping while I was there.  But best of all it was so fun chatting and slowly shopping and looking around with my mom and sisters.  It even rained on us for a little bit.  We drove back to my moms and dropped off my sisters car and picked up my stepdad and went out for some delicious bbq for lunch.  I also meet up with my best friend Dana while she was in town for a wedding, it was surreal seeing her and her kiddos.  I was sad it was such a short visit but felt blessed to have seen her.  After lunch we got our nails done.  Four women getting pedicures lets just say it took a while but it was nice to get pampered.  Afterwards my sister Heather and I did some shopping for our kids at a near by Oshkosh!  We did dinner at home which my sister Jamie cooked her favorite meal for us.  Then we went out in the rain to get me preggo a milkshake.  Let's just say the gps got us a little turned around and a ten minute quick trip turned into an hour adventure in the pouring rain! 

The next two days went quick Sunday we went to church with my mom, cooked many meals together, stayed up late chatting, looked at old photos and letters, went shopping at the mall, and went to a movie.  We were shopping for a particular shoe for my mom and we were on the hunt, after three stores we were successful.  We all went nuts in this jewelry store, that was sooooooo much fun.  Shopping with kids you have to run in and out but gosh I sure enjoyed all our shopping trips together with my mom and sister. 

Funny story when we were at the stockyards I picked out a shirt for after pregnancy and apparently my sisters liked it and since we don't live in the same town they both decided to buy it.  Also my older sister Jamie had the cutest watch and when we were jewelry shopping I bought one very similar and my younger sister Heather got one.  I forgot to mention my mom bought one for my mom too.  We had such a good laugh about how we all have the same taste in clothing and jewelry.  We later went online and bought the shirt and watch for my sister in Florida so we can all 5 have the same shirt and watch!  So look out Ann it's coming your way!

I had such a great time words aren't enough, I plan to make this a yearly thing.  I love being a mom and wife but some times it's good to recharge your batteries.  I rarely feel like Stacey and mainly feel like Alli, Cooper, and Beckett's mom.  Richard and I try to do date nights but this weekends get away was perfect!
