Labor Day fun in the LBK!

We returned home yesterday evening from a shirt trip to Lubbock! I had some wedding parties to attend so Tyler had the pleasure of spending lots of one on one time with his girl. We had so much fun with our cousins Xavier, Jimmy and Joey! YaYa was completely smitten. Little Joey took her for rides in his Viper and watched Ratatouille, Nemo and Toy Story with the little monkey. I realized this weekend that we are going to have to work on YaYa and her idea of personal space. She wouldn't give Joey room to breathe. I guess we are lucky Ja-Jo (as YaYa sweetly named him) is very sweet and patient with little babies. He is a living doll. We spent all day Sunday with four kids in tow. I'd really like to have a family that size although it did prove to be a little tiring and costly. We are going to figure out a way to make it happen I guess. So much love and so much fun. We bowled and played games at Main Event during the day and ended up at Stars and Stripes Drive-In that evening to watch Despicable Me. It was such a cute movie, one that we will definitely be adding to our Pixar collection. I really wish we had a drive-in close by. The kids brought blankets and put the seats down turning the back of the SUV into a bed of sorts. Stinky socks, popcorn and Twizzlers galore! It was non-stop laughter as Gru made his journey into fatherhood! He was such an endearing character.

Ty and I romanced over the idea of owning a drive-in theatre. It's a shame there aren't more of them. There was a great playground and really state of the art concessions. The prices were so reasonable compared to the regular theatre and it is hands down the best option for taking toddlers to the movies! We will definitely be adding Stars and Stripes Drive-In to our Lubbock intenerary from now on. Here are a few pics from the weekend. Sorry to say they are from my Blackberry :( Completely forgot my camera at home. We can't wait to return to LBK to hang out with our sweet cousins... YaYa has been throwing her hands up today asking "Ja-Jo, Ja-Jo?" She's missin her little man...
