a cluster of events

Not a lot going on with us right now.  Well, nothing exciting at least.  I go to school 4 days a week and don't have a lot of time for "fun" stuff.  I had my first Summer session test today and I think I owned it - woohoo!  {Yes, that's the extent of my excitement...sad, I know}

So anyway, I forgot to write about our family reunion last weekend.  We really don't "know" most of the "family" there, but I went to make my parents happy.....and to see what my distant family is like.  It was so weird, there was a distant cousin there that looks like Hannah's twin.  Of course I didn't get a picture of them together, I was too busy talking.  I don't think we have been to a Wagner reunion in probably about 10-15 years.  A lot of the people there knew each other, which made it a little awkward.  We talked with a few people, but I mainly just stuck with my mom and sister.  We talked for quite a while to our cousin that was in a car accident back in February {with a pregnant cow}.  The cow actually came through the windshield and into her face.  Her story is amazing and the progress she has made is so inspiring.

Needless to say, I did too much talking and not enough picture taking.  Oh well, I got a few {but only of the kiddos}.

After the reunion, Macie wanted to stay with my mom.  That left Chris and I with a chance for a date night.  We came back to Granbury, went to dinner at Hoffbrau, returned home for a little while, and caught the 9:45 showing of Super 8.  Food was okay, Chris fell asleep while we were at home, and the movie was ehh....not what I expected.  At least we got to sleep in the next morning and lie in bed all morning/day watching movies on Starz.

Okay, I tried to finish this last night.....I was way too tired!  Here we go again:

So, Sunday we headed to my parents house for a cookout at my dad's "Man House" and to watch the Mavs.  The guys and kids always have a fun time down there because it's "manly" {lots of tools, a classic car, and most importantly a TV}. 

My dad smoked a few chickens and my mom and grandma made some yummy sides.  I did make some black bean & corn salsa, but that was eaten before we even thought about going down to the shop.  Whoops!  My grandma brought over some cookies {her go-to dessert} and my mom brought a bowl of fruit {Macie went crazy for some grapes}.  Noah was our cookie monster.....that boy cracks me up!

It's always a great time with family, no matter where we decide to congregate!  The Mavs WON the championship and everyone went home happy.  That is what I call quality time! 

So, I just have to throw this in:

Yesterday I got a spray tan and I love it!  Unfortunately with our busy schedule lately, I haven't been able to make many dates with the sun {or tanning bed}.  Tomorrow we're {mom, sister, and me} going to see Chelsea Handler and I don't want to be pale,  so spray tan was the next best thing.  I have tried and tried to perfect doing this at home, but it just doesn't look anywhere near as good.  I am pleasantly pleased with the results and I recommend Ashlee at Just Tan It in Stephenville.  Here are my results:

Chris said I looked orange, but it was just because I hadn't showered yet.  After a shower, I look like a bronzed goddess - he approved.  Love it!
