We did a little skeet shooting at the lake this weekend. Lacey and my husband LOVE hunting and guns, etc, etc. Mac, Lacey's husband, gets really into ANYTHING! That's why we love him! :-)
But he HATED it if we didn't hit all the skeet. Around the 2:15 minute mark in the video, all the girls shoot and none of us hit it and he gets a little upset and makes a sarcastic remark. We all thought it was hysterical!
I love it how my mom is talking about her eyes the whole time! Mom's good at shooting though. One time at a dude ranch in Colorado (Lost Valley to be exact) she won best shot! :-) Go Lovey!!

Our "Babies"
At one point in the weekend, I put Lillian in the sling to walk around the 'beach' at the lake. My sister thought this was funny - acting like she is slinging her "baby" too!! :-)
We look a little rough - but what did we care - we're at the LAKE!!
I love my sister and can't wait for her and her husband to have kids, but let's just say, I'm glad she's starting out with a dog. Her "baby" is Audrey - a Yorkie about 8 months old!! Audrey is also really good at entertaining the children - or the children entertaining her. Either way works! :-)
I think they were playing like Audrey was their 'baby' too. They had her in the bassinet at one point! It was great though. We'd put them in our room to watch a movie, stick Audrey in there too, and the adults could have a quiet dinner!! :-) hehehe

Lillian's first Lake trip!
We had a lot of fun at the lake this weekend. I'm sure I'll have a few posts highlighting what all we did with the kids. But let us first start with Lillian. I wasn't sure how she was going to do this weekend. New place, new rooms, and lots going on....but she did great during the days! Nights were pretty good. But it was all worth it!
So I had to choose ONE toy to bring along for Lillian. It was between the bouncy seat and the johnny jump up. I decided on the johnny jump up even though she really hadn't gotten the hang of it yet. I knew the lake house had a beam going through the middle of the den that it could probably hang on. So basically, this is what she did all weekend!!
We thought this was so funny that she was going along with the music - especially that rap song, "This is why it's Hot" or something like that.
She loved being in this thing and if she wasn't in it, her legs were bouncing as if she was!!
Here are some more sweet pictures of her!
This is what she did tailgating in Auburn!!
She was enthralled by the HUGE bonfire we had! I don't think any of the kids knew what to think. Landon wouldn't go near it! But I guess that's pretty smart of him!
More to come!! :-)

Auburn, Here We Come!!
We are so excited to be able to attend the Ole Miss vs. Auburn game this weekend with the kids. Well, we're tailgating and then going to watch the game at the lakehouse! But still, to experience that cool, crisp, fall, football-weather air and get pepped up for a game I probably won't get to really watch - I can't wait!
We're also celebrating my mom's 50th birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! We're all going to their lakehouse on Lake Martin with my sister and her husband and just going to have a long fun weekend together! I'm sure I'll have some fun stories to share when we get back!
BUT, I have to say, I'm a little anxious about traveling for the first time (by myself - Robert is coming later) with 3 kids. For now, it's been just so much easier to stay home and keep our routine. Let's just say they know when they're not in their own beds. But I know that Robert (and the kids) would have so much fun. And it also means a lot to my mom to get us ALL together!
The lake house is a 3 bedroom/2 bath. And we're a family of FIVE now! Add in FOUR more adults and we've got a tight situation! So we're cramming kids in every corner! I know everything is going to work out but I still have that "mommy worrying" that I'm doing.
I don't want Lillian to wake anyone up in the middle of the night crying. I don't want to put anyone else out, where their stay is uncomfortable. I don't want my parents to have to tiptoe around kiddos sleeping on their floor. I don't want my sister and her husband to take the small room. I don't want anyone to feel burdened by my kids.
But these are NOT good feelings - they're probably really selfish.
My family has worked so hard to make sure this weekend is going to be fun! I need to RECEIVE it and be thankful! I can let my routine go for a few days and take advantage of this time I have with my family - and that my family (sister and brother) have with us! I can maybe get a little less sleep - in order to build some fun memories for the kids.
There are many fun things lined up like pumpkin carving and a bonfire (to do s'mores!) that I'm sure I won't even have time to worry about everything else!
I need to make the most of this weekend. Living it to the fullest! Life is too short to be worrying about things that are so trivial in this crazy world! We are so blessed to even have a lakehouse to go to and have so much fun!! Hey, people used to live smaller houses back then and had WAY more kids!
It'll all work out!!
YAY!! I can't wait!
HOTTY TODDY!!!!!
