Wednesday, Michael stayed with Anna. She is the lady that will come stay with him while I go back to work. This was their first time to hang out. I was so nervous about leaving him with someone other than family. I had to run some errands in Hobbs to get ready for the weekend, so I thought it would be the perfect time to have her come over. She was wonderful! Derek came by while she was here and they were just getting ready to have a snack. He said Michael was super happy. Then he came home early from work to mow the grass and she had him outside walking around. Derek said Michael was loving it! When I got home, he was taking a great nap in his bed. I think he liked her. She's going to start coming a little more so it's not a huge shock to him when school starts. And just to let you know, I did cry on the way to Hobbs and I was so lonely! It was so weird. I've left him before to run errands over there, but this was different. I'm so thankful to have found someone to come here and that I know will love him and have fun with him.
So, I was running errands to get ready for this weekend. This is THE weekend. Seminole Golf Tournament. So what...a little golf tournament??? Yeah, 13...count 'em....13 boys (I mean men) come this weekend to Seminole. So what??? They come to Seminole to stay at our house! 13!!! Have you ever been around 14 (counting Derek) men that come in from the golf course sweating and stinky??? It's an experience that I think everyone should have to go through! They are all super nice guys, but they like to have a few adult frosty beverages while they are sweaty and stinky. We don't have 13 beds. They sleep everywhere...couches, chairs, tile floor...and did I mention that they sweat on the golf course!?! :)
Luckily, Michael & I got to spend Thursday night with Grandma & Granddaddy. I just knew that they wouldn't be quiet enough for a 4 month old to get a good nights sleep. This was Michael's first time to spend the night at Grandma & Granddaddy's house. He loved it. He got to take a fun bath with Grandma and then got to wake up and hang out with Granddaddy.
Friday, Michael & I met Juice at the airport in Lubbock. We flew to Houston for Quade & Brittney's wedding. Quade is a childhood friend of mine and his mom and Juice are best friends. Michael did so good on the plane to Houston. He slept most of the way. I don't think his ears bothered him at all.
This was Michael's first hotel stay. I didn't know that you could request cribs. Worked perfect! Don't worry, we took our own sheet for it.
He even got to watch golf so he would know what daddy was talking about when we got home.
The place we stayed was super fun. It was a resort & spa type of place. It had it's own access to Lake Conroe, it's own water park and it's own putt-putt golf. We got to enjoy the water park on Saturday before the wedding. Michael and I loved the lazy river. He just chilled out with me.
Friday night was rehearsal. We got to go to it because my mom took pictures. Well, funny story (not haha funny). Our rental car was a piece of work. It lacked anything automatic (like we had to roll down the windows old style). And it was about as big as this computer screen. (But it got us around Houston, so for that we loved it!) Michael's seat in the back made him sit almost straight up, so when he would fall asleep in the car his poor head would hang down. On the way to rehearsal, I got out at one intersection to get in the back with him to hold his head up. When we got to the rehearsal, I couldn't find my regular glasses. I just had my sunglasses. I immediately had a panic attack because I knew what had happened. I had the glasses in the case in my lap in the car. When I got out at that intersection, they fell out and I didn't realize it. I went back to that intersection and found them on the side of the road. Yeah, smashed, run over a million times, broken. I didn't say a cuss word, no not me. Luckily, the lenses weren't broken, just the frames. I had to go all rehearsal and rehearsal dinner without seeing though. Saturday morning, we headed straight to Wal-Mart and thank the Lord they had frames that my lenses would fit into. (The glasses weren't the only thing broken....I haven't got the 'real' story on how the stain-glass window fell at our house, breaking my mother's day frame.)
The wedding was absolutely beautiful. Michael decided he wanted to be the wedding singer, so we spent most of the wedding looking in the side door. He was singing some beautiful songs though. And he loved everyone at the reception. He was such a flirt all weekend long. He would talk, smile & laugh to everyone. It was really cute.
Ready for the wedding...
Noni is Quade's mom...Michael does love his Noni. (This was taken at the end of the reception...waaaaay past his bedtime.)
With the bride and groom...Quade & Brittney Furr
I mean seriously....this is the cutest thing ever!!!
We flew home on Sunday. Michael was so ready to see his daddy. Daddy and the rest of the 13 guys were still at the golf course finishing up the tournament. We decided to go surprise daddy and watch his last 2 holes.
Daddy & his partner, Josh...
We had a great, busy weekend. Michael took three 2-2 1/2 hour naps on Monday. Poor guy was super tired. Congratulations to Quade & Brittney and we'll see all the guys next year! :)

I'm glad Anna had a good first day with Michael. I'm starting to get anxious about going back to school all over again. The anticitpation was worse than actually going back, so keep that in mind. At least he will be at the house with Anna and you can come see him at lunch and conference. That is what I did when I went back. I hope that Valerie won't mind me showing up every now and then to see her some during the day. Glad yall had a good weekend. We've been busy like that too. Hope to see yall soon!
