Our Labor Day Weekend

While most people had a 3 day weekend, our family was on a FOUR-day holiday!  Scott's Aunt Connie is in town so Carolyn took Friday off to spend it with her.  I've never met her nor has Austin, so it was great to spend the Labor Day weekend with his "Auntie Konni".  We hope Auntie will come in town again so that we can spend more time together! 

Friday was a jam-packed day of food and shopping!  Scott, Austin, Carolyn, Aunt Connie and I started the day early and headed over to IHOP to meet my mom for breakfast.  Afterall you need a good nutritious meal before spending money  HA!  After eating, we all (minus mom) headed over to the DFW National Cemetery to visit Patrick's headstone since Aunt Connie has never seen where Patrick was put to rest. 

Missing a loving man but comforted to know he's in a beautiful place

Toasting Patrick (Connie always wanted to have Sake with Patrick)

Cheers! 

Patrick's headstone was even doused with some Sake!

FAMILY PICTURES!

"Three, Four, Five"  LOL

After the cemetery we headed out for some shopping.  We literally shopped from 10am till about 4pm!  We love those Labor Day sales!!  Most stores were having 30-40% off the WHOLE store so we couldn't pass up a great deal when we found them.  We were too busy spending money, trying on clothes and enjoying each others company to take pictures.  We did however take a picture of Austin passed out in the car at 4:30pm.  He was fighting with everything he had to NOT fall asleep while we were out.  The second we got in the truck he was out like a light and drooling HAHA! Poor guy

We headed home where my mom joined us for some homemade enchiladas and to watch The Notebook!

Saturday they did more shopping but I was at work with my other babies (I work in the Neonatal ICU).  Sunday they went to church then vegged on the couch all day to recooperate!  Monday we had Carolyn, Connie, my mom and dad over for some food, games and great family fun.  We all played a new game to the Lutz clan but a vey old game to the Bradshaw's.  The game we played was 31 years old and was called DARK TOWER.  It was a very fun game and again we were too busy having fun to grab the camera.  I know Aunt Connie took lots of pictures during her trip to Texas so I'll have to post those later.  I did manage to get one shot of Austin with his Poppa that's adorable.

Aunt Connie will be in town till tomorrow and she LOVES Mexican Food - almost as much as Austin LOL - so of course for her last night here we are going to EL Fenix!  YUM YUM YUM  I'll make sure to take pictures so stay tuned :-)
