WHOOP!

Not too much excitement to write about on a personal front. Paul was feeling under the weather earlier this weekend, so we took it easy. It was actually very nice. We did some shopping at the new outlet mall, were invited over for a wonderful dinner at our friends, Kevin and Shannon's house, and spent the rest of the weekend watching the Women's College World Series. I am very excited that BOTH of my Alma Maters, Texas A&M and Arizona State, will be playing in the finals. I will definitely be rooting for the Maroon come Monday night, the trick is which maroon. ;) I can't lie, I love ASU, but my A&M will always have my heart. So, BTHOASU! WHOOP!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great 3 day weekend. My youngest sister, Emily, and my youngest niece, Michayla, came to spend Saturday and Sunday with us. Michayla wasn't so sure about hanging out with us at first. For the first 20 minutes after Mom and Dad dropped her off, she kept walking to her car seat, sitting down and trying to buckle herself in, in what I can only guess was her way of hoping that might get her somewhere else.

Later Saturday afternoon, the Corson and Seel families joined us for some yummy Kroger ribs (don't knock'em unless you've tried'em), some mojitos, and swimming. Lots and lots of swimming. Here Michayla, powered by her "jodie engine" pulls the skiiers, Elaine and Andrew.

The night was capped off with a fierce noodle war between Randy and Paul. I'm not sure who actually won, but the noodles took a beating!

Sunday we spent the afternoon with Paul's good friends, Darren and Tacy. We had a good time catching up with them and enjoying their kiddos.

Michayla decided that the life jacket was a great fashion statement and didn't want to take it off.

Sunday, the entire Hall clan gathered in our backyard for another round of swimming. Kelly was able to get in the pool and move around for the first time since her injury. Here Jodie, Kelly, Em and Andrew have "noodle horse" races.

Overall, it I had a wonderful weekend surrounded by family and friends.
