All my exes live in Texas.....

Now that I have that song stuck in your head, on to the real story.
 
I went to Texas! It was awesome. The weather was great, I ate some BBQ, saw the Cattle Drive and Roamed the Stock Yards.
 
We were in Dallas, someday I would love to see more western parts of Texas, but we had a great time in the big D.
 
 
This was at a park located in downtown Dallas

 


And this is Jill showcasing her preggo belly


If there was one thing I learned about Texas while I was there, is that they are very proud to be called Texans. See for yourself:


This was actually on one of the bridges. They had little "Texas" shapes everywhere.



One of my personal favorite stops was the George W. Bush Presidential Library.

This is actually a piece of the towers from 9/11.

And this is me in the oval office, obviously.
 
 
We went to the stock yard and saw the cattle drive:
 



This train actually still runs people from the town of Grapevine to the Stock Yards.

 
If there is one thing I learned, it's that you MUST eat BBQ when it Texas.
 
This was the menu

 And this was where the goodness was smoked all day long.
 
 
 
 We also visited the Fort Worth Water Gardens, although some of us were more adventurous than others.
 



There is Jeff way at the bottom.

Merica' 2014

This Fourth of July weekend was a little crazy for us. We had a lot of out-of-towners in Pittsburgh.
 
 
Chris's Pappy from South Carolina stopped in to check out the property and we had to pause for a photo-op.
 
They are kinda like twins :)

While busy, we had a great long weekend. I spotted this Thomas Jefferson quote on Pinterest and I wanted to share. Boy, if Thomas Jefferson could see us now...
A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. - Thomas Jefferson

This is me with my anniversary breakfast, that turned into a 3 day breakfast.

A Shower for Jill and Baby Masters

This weekend, my dear friend/sister, Jill, came into town from Texas for her Baby Shower.
 
Her sister, Linda, is super crafty and came up with the perfect Book Theme ideas. Here are a few photos from the day!
 

All of the food had a corresponding card with a Children's Book on it.

Guess how much I love you kisses game.

Cake!

A closer look at the food signs.


Decorated!

The Beautiful Mother to be and future Grandmothers!

Belly Shot! I know it needs rotated...I'll get to that later!
 
 
It was a beautiful day with beautiful weather. I am looking forward to meeting Baby Masters.
