A special dinner and the lake

We had a really great weekend.  After Handley's swim lessons (be sure to read the post below too see how GREAT she is doing) I rushed home to get dressed for a special dinner.  About 6 months ago Robby was promoted and is now the Vice President of Real Estate, Engineering, and Construction for Racetrac Petroleum.  Friday they had a dinner party honoring him and 3 other guys that were also recently promoted to Vice Presidents.  The invitation said they would be honoring "The FAB FOUR," but it wasn't until we got there that I knew exactly that that would mean.  

The evening was centered around the four guys and every detail was planned perfectly.  There were posters and t-shirts depicting the guys as the Beatles and it was such a fun evening with a live band, dancing, dinner, and a special performance.  I can't go into details or Robby would shut down the blog all together. :-) I am SO proud of him and all his hard work.  It was a great celebration and a big thanks to Gigi and Papa for keeping the girls.  

After getting in late and sleeping off a bad migraine I got during the party we woke up early Saturday morning to head to the lake.  It was a beautiful weekend and the weather was perfect.  We spent lots of time tubing, surfing, wake-boarding, swimming (Handley loved showing off her new skills) and playing at some beaches.  I didn't take one picture because I was just enjoying a fabulous weekend with our family.  Gigi and Papa were able to be up there with us too so they came over for dinner on Saturday night and got to watch Harper eat her first corn on the cob. 

After a back-of-the-car picnic at Arby's on the way home and a finally making it here way past bedtime, both girls were still in great spirits.  The evening ended with them kissing each other good night over and over.  Harper's favorite phrase at bedtime is "one more" and she is usually referring to books.  However tonight it was "one more" kiss from Handley that she wanted.  They just couldn't get any sweeter.
