Weekend Recap

What a rockin' weekend! I flew the coup and headed to Harrison to see my lil' bro, Kirby for the weekend. Mom and Mini met us up there as well! We had a lot to do in the span of three days, but we made it work! First on the list: SHOPPING in Branson! Nothing like a lot of retail therapy. Can I get a hoot-hoot for not one, not two, but three pairs of jeans that fit! Three pairs for under $80 total! Double hoot-hoot!
Next on the list: eating at Lambert's north of Branson. A few rolls, cucumbers and onions, fried okra, black eyed peas, roast, mashed potatoes/gravy, sweet tea, and pineapple cool whip salad later, I rolled on out of there myself. But only after witnessing my sister sing at the top of her lungs in the bathroom.
Next day: decorate Kirby's new house! He has an adorable new man-cave that he is renting! (Kim...it is only 1 street over from your old house there!) Mom loaded him up with amazing decor and we turned his man-cave into a cozy little home!
That night: "Tenth Avenue North" concert! They are awesome! Awesome lyrics, awesome singers, awesome hearts for God! Let's just say they are on a mission to spread the word that salvation and being a Christian is all about grace!
Later that night: Taco Bell. Whew, thank goodness something was open in that city at that hour! Have you ever tried the Fruitista Pina Coladas there? You should. mmmm.
Next day: visit Kirby's church where he is the youth director. (Dad even drove in!) Kirby happened to be leading worship as well, so I joined him! It was great fun to sing with him. He has taught himself to play guitar and it is coming in handy. Someday, we will be famous. Or not.
At lunch: Mom brought in the stuff to make "Mama Z's" spaghetti and salad. If you are ever in the huge town of Tontitown, you MUST eat there. Simply must.
After lunch: Ate petit-fours (or however you spell those cutesie ittie bittie bite size cakes) to celebrate Mom's birthday which is tomorrow!! Thank you, Amelia, for picking them out and sharing with us!
After that: Kirby and Dad fixed the garage door opener. Check out Kirb below in his new converse and straight leg jeans and black shirt on top of the 4 wheeler. I just want to break out in "Grease Lightning."
Last pic: Amelia so sad that I had to go back home. (or just a small photo shoot and the best pouty face ever.)
The weekend was a total blast! Everyone was in a giggly mood, so most of the time, we were either bowled over in laughter or snorting (that would be me), or crying from the laughter!

Tenth Ave. North!

See that blob of lime green below, Kirby had the guts to go introduce himself to her afterwards! I think being around his sistas infused him with courage!



Grease Lightning, Go Grease Lightning!



Ahh, don't cry! I am coming back to celebrate your 21st bday real soon!!!!!!!!

That's too funny about his house. But, Harrison's not really all that big anyway. Sounds like such a fun weekend. And -- I know I say this all the time -- you're family is beautiful!!!

BTW, I ordered the big print today. It should be ready tomorrow. As you would say.... hoot! hoot!
