Mom's been at the lake house going on 2 weeks now. She wanted someone to go down and stay with her while the guys came to mud. I didn't want to go by myself, so Matt & I took a last-minute trip to the lake. It was wonderful and restful and really great to spend time with my Momma. She's done such a great job decorating and fixing up the house down there. We decided to bring Darcy with us since he's never been there in his adult life. I took him when he was a pup and had just learned to bark. Dad was driving the motor home with all the grand kids in it, me and Mr. Darcy. Dad got so annoyed with him that he put him in the trailer hooked up behind the motor home. He had to ride in there for the remainder of the trip! Needless to say, he was not scared out of barking. He is the loudest dog EVER! But he did wonderfully riding in the car after a small bout of motion sickness... He looooved being there. Especially since my Mom's 3 dog...

Well, what an eventful week! I haven't written anything this week for a couple reasons: A) I didn't want to be the Debbie Downer of the blogging world B) I wasn't feeling very motivated C) I've been rather consumed with matters of the family...dog family that is. But let me catch you up a bit: Matt & I went to the Lake house at Possum Kingdom last weekend  with my brother, David, his wife, Misty, and our cousin, John, Channing, my pup, and Roxi, their pup. We had a lovely time of relaxation and fishing and reading. The Lake House is usually pretty restful (unless we're all cooped in the house with 7 kids and it rains all weekend like my birthday 2 years ago...) The boys caught at least 60 fish, 40 of which we fried up for dinner that night. Nothing like catching and preparing your own food! This pic tried to capture Matt on all fours in front of the door teaching Zane how to prepare a "surprise attack" for his bully...
