Sweet Tea, Babies, and My Momma


First off, I just need to brag about how beautiful my cousin's brand new twins are! I cannot shake off this baby fever after seeing these little loves yesterday.  My hubby tells me I better get rid of it because we are still a few years out and I agree on our little time frame we got goin' on! But a girl can still want!

Mom and I decided to make a quick trip to OKC to see Chels and the babies yesterday.  It was too quick! I could have held these little   babes a lot longer than 30 minutes.  Chels is doing great and looks beautiful as ever, she is the best little mommy!  She has adjusted to her new role with ease and these babies just love her and love hearing her voice.  We got to visit with her and some family for a little bit and then Mom was nudging me say we needed to get on the move if we wanted to accomplish what we needed to get done to leave the city by 4.

We grabbed something quick to eat at Cheesecake Factory- minus the cheesecake unfortunately- and then ventured out to the outlet mall for some quick shopping.  We noticed the sky was looking pretty ominous and black on our way in and decided we better hurry up our shopping if we didn't want to get drenched.  So we walked into J Crew and all of a sudden it started pouring.  POURING. I had lost Mom in the hustle and bustle of getting into the store, and when I found her she already had an umbrella in hand ready to be purchased.  We found a few other bargains and started our way towards the door..noticing the rain had not let up one single bit. It seemed to be raining even harder! We agreed that our outfits were not weather appropriate this day,mine more than hers being it was a cotton dress and flip flops! Braving it, we stepped out the door and got situated under the umbrella with shopping bags in tow that were starting to break down due to them being made out of that brown craft paper stuff! We finally made it to the car with only our feet and mom's jeans getting pretty soaked.

Back in the car, we headed to pick up some sushi for myself and Chels before heading out of the city.  We dropped the food off at the hospital and jumped on the turnpike--not before grabbing some McAlister's Sweet Tea.  In the craziness of the rain, we thought we ran over something in the car after the tire pressure sensor kept going off and saying that the pressure was low.  We called dad and he said to put some air in the tires when we had a chance.  So we drove until we were outside El Reno and pulled over at a quick stop.  After shooting some air in the tires that seemed to change nothing at all, we drove on to Weatherford where the sun came out and it warmed up.  All of a sudden the sensor  shut off and the warning light disappeared! We both had read in the owner's manual that sudden changes in temperature in the environment can cause the tire sensor to go a little crazy.  Obviously this is what happened, which we both suspected before, but we still listened to dad and put some more air in the tires! Either way it worked out and we were both relieved.

We made it home in time for mom and dad to leave with the church to go eat at Simon's and for me to walk into a clean house with laundry put up.. and you guessed it...a clean spare bedroom that I never got around to doing the other day! I honestly do have the best husband.  He was joking me on the way home that I was going to have a dirty house to clean up because his buddies came over to hang out and they got a little crazy.  My reply to this wasn't very nice but when I came home to a clean house I was pretty impressed and he got a kick out it upsetting me of course.  After having a gourmet supper at Sonic, we came home and watched a few movies before crashing out.

Here are a few pics from today!
