Parties, Parades and Showers

As another weekend comes to a close, I sit here and try to think back on the events that took place. 
This weekend our  family was divided most of the time. The guys hung out and did guy stuff, while us girls did our thing.

Friday night Brookelynn and I attended a Jewel Kade party that my sister hosted. The guys stayed home and watched football.  After the jewelry party, Brookelynn asked me if she could spend the night with Darlene, so I had to come home by myself.

Saturday morning was the TTU Homecoming parade. My sister brought Brookelynn back and brought Jett to watch the parade. He seems to enjoy the floats, but doesn't care too much for the loud marching bands. 

 Here comes one of those noisy marching bands.

The theme this year was "Tech Toons"

The candy started landing at Jett's feet and he was ready to tear into it.

 Some of those crazy TTU students running around like maniac's LOL.

This is the second year that Jett watched the tech parade with us. You can view last years parade by clicking here.

Devin, being TTU's "number 1 fan"  had to attend the homecoming game, so he and Stroker went to the stadium.

After the parade, Brooke and I  had a couple errands to run, a quick stop by the party store, loaded up the car and then it was off to Tiffany and Kendal's baby shower. Of course I was running a little late to help get things set up, that seems to be my calling card these days. Once we got the cake unloaded, the "Braxton James" banner on the wall, the rest of the table cloths on the tables and the balloons blown up and scattered around, we were good to go.

Lots of great gifts and baby necessities landed in Kendal and Tiffany's lap yesterday.

Today had only one item on the agenda...Paint the bathroom closet.

Guess what didn't get finished.?!

Instead, Brookelynn and I went for brunch at O'Charley's (while the guys watched the Titan's game) then we went on a local shopping spree. She got new boots, new shoes and a new outfit. We bought smelly stuff for the house at Bath and Body works and was too tired to make the trip to Wal-Mart.  We later caught our second wind and made the Wal-Mart trip to buy a few snack items for the week, then finished off this weekend with dinner at El Tapatio with Stroker and Devin..
