First, we went to a surprise 80th birthday party for a dear family friend. Mimi is like a second grandmother to me!

Friends for life - literally since birth! I love my Ashley.
The next stop on Friday night was to the Strother's house for a gathering of friends to announce the sex of their baby...
A BOY! I had my money on a girl, so I was surprised! That baby boy is going to have so many loving 'aunts and uncles'.
After a total downpour of a rainstorm, we headed home to conclude our Friday evening. It had been a full day: work, an eye-brow waxing gone bad*, a 2-hour drive and 2 parties - I was worn out!
*It's not good when someone accidentally drops a big 'ole glob of wax in your hair, doesn't tell you about it and then you discover it later. Not pretty!
On Saturday, we enjoyed the gorgeous weather and tailgated with fellow Hog fans for the Arkansas vs ULM game:

Thanks, Payton, for always having the BEST tailgate party!
Keith and I taking a break in the shade.
See that lady in the background in the striped shirt? She was pretty sweet on Keith. Said he was the best lookin' guy out there. I'd have to agree!
Keith with his long-lost buddy, Jay. They never get to see each other, so I had to document the occasion.
From our tailgate location, we could see two parachutes drop from the sky and they landed on the field to kick off the game - pretty cool!
Here's a little montage of my iPhone pics. We love all of these fine North Little Rock folks!
We left the tailgate when the game started and headed back to my parents house. Family and friends were gathered to watch the game and eat a great meal made by the lovely Jantastic. We enjoyed wine on the patio and playing with all of the kiddos.
Needless to say, we were totally SHOCKED when Arkansas lost the football game. It was painful to watch. I can't believe it happened. No matter what, I am a dedicated fan and will not waiver in my support. But, sometimes bleeding Razorback Red hurts!!
Today, we enjoyed Grandparents Day with lunch at my parents house. My mom sure did a lot of wonderful cooking this weekend. We celebrated early birthdays for my grandpa and I, a tradition I have always loved. Now, we're back at home putting off things like unpacking, laundry and mail sorting.
Back to the grind tomorrow - hope you had a wonderful weekend!!
