Whew! What a Weekend

Wow, this was a C-Razy busy weekend full of exciting activities so be prepared for an all over the place post.

Let's start with Friday. Nat and I had "date night". I was super excited, especially because it was a surprise!! After a little confusion, thinking that we were going to Cirque du Soleil, I realized we were going to the horse races!! It was really cool. I've never been before and I really enjoyed watching & betting on the horses. We didn't win anything. My best bet was when I bet on a horse that scratched so I got my money back! But- It was still way fun- and quality time with the hubs.

Saturday afternoon was awesome. We went to a crawfish broil wish some of our besties, Ben and Tindell. We ate A LOT of crawfish. The weather was beautiful, a little hot but nice and sunny. And believe me, we needed the sun! They also had free Sprinkles cupcakes. YUM. We managed to win the raffle- second year in a row!! This year we won a detailed hand carwash and 30$ to the Black Lab Pub. Bonus!!

SUNDAY we auditioned for the FAMILY FEUD!! It was hilarously fun. We basically played the game for about two rounds to show our enthusiasm, then the casting director gave us a card and asked us if we would film a promotion. So, we go back to the room where we are supposed to film "said promotion"- and there is the executive producer!! She said we were there because she wanted us on the show!! So we filmed an audition tape (basically just introductions and cheering) and we were on our way!! We should hear back in a couple of weeks. They have to take the audition tape back to LA to be reviewed. Who knows if we made it- but if not It was still crazy fun!!

Cross your fingers for the Heston Family!!

Gator Farm

Pretty much anything I say here is not going to do this trip justice. Saturday Nat and Jeff had a "Man Date" to the gator farm in Beaumont. Apparently, there was absolutley NOTHING that could have been a better way to start the weekend! Nat LOVES reptiles of all sorts, and is a loyal watcher of shows like "Swamp People", so, this was pretty much a dream come true. Since his gator farm experience- I have personally learned A LOT about gators. Our conversations have been going something like this:

Nat: "Did you know a Gator can travel up to 30 mph on land?"
Nat: "Did you know a Gator has 3 eyelids?"
Nat: "Do you know the difference in a crocodile and a gator?"
Nat: "Do you know the ratio of boy eggs to girl eggs when a gator has babies?"
Me: Oh. Wow.

Weekend Visitor

This weekend our friend's dog Aiden came to stay with us. I was SO EXCITED. It took Nat a little convincing, but he was on board too. We had SO much fun with Aiden. He is hilarous!! We took him on a run in Memorial Park on Friday- where he thought he had to "mark" EVERY tree. (made for an interesting run) I took him on a walk on Saturday- which mostly consisted of him chasing after various animals, he took a nap with me, and we played a lot around the house. I basically had a shadow all weekend which I LOVED. It was so fun! Aiden- you are welcome anytime!! Here are some pics of our furry friend

Who are these people?

I'm Cute

How he spent most of the weekend.

Getting a little more comfortable

I totally dominated that running trail.
