Texas to Mississippi to Texas

The Sunday before Father's Day Landry and I headed to Mississippi. We drove as far as West Monroe and stayed with some friends. Monday morning we finished the drive to Mississippi. We stayed with Skip in Cleveland Monday, shopped in Greenville Tuesday, spent the day with Poppa and Nanna Wednesday (and got to see Meme as she was on her way to Bastrop), lunch with a friend Thursday and played with Erin, Chase and Reed Friday. Saturday morning we, accompanied by Laylay and Skip, headed back to Texas.

On our way (a few minutes from Skip's) Landry wanted to get out and walk in the corn field. You may be wondering why. Well, for the past couple of weeks Landry has been watching the first season of Smallville. Clark's ship lands...in a corn field. Lex loses his red hair...in a cornfield. Clark is pinned up like a scarecrow...in a cornfield. These are just a few examples of how much Smallville and cornfields go hand in hand. Needless to say we had to stop in a cornfield!

A true Smallville fan. A little trivia: Landry was born the same season Smallville introduced Clark's cousin Supergirl. Landry is our Supergirl.

As I mentioned Erin and the boys came in Friday. We went to Aunt Lois' to play. Well, Erin, Kelley and I all have summer birthdays so...Aunt Lois got us a Sally Chow birthday cake!

Reed and Landry playing with Sillystring.

All around we had a great time seeing and visiting with everyone! Saturday morning Laylay, Skip, Landry and I headed back to Texas. On the way we stopped at Blake and Morgan's.

Rylan about to take Landry for a drive. Then, on the road again to spend a little time with Brad. Sunday afternoon he flew to New York. Before he left we had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory for Father's Day.

Landry refused to look at the camera.

Even though he was in New York, Brad planned ahead and left Landry a surprise in her closet.

Pink kryptonite!!!

Landry gets special superpowers from this crystal. Landry is into Smallville and superheros in general. She likes to pretend to be Supergirl so to go with her pink kryptonite she needed...

a pink supergirl outfit!

I ran to WalMart for something. While I was gone Landry wanted just a little makeup.

Aunt Skip was happy to oblige. (it was just a little bit)

The week pasted and Friday was here before we knew it. We went to the malls (yes, plural, 4 different ones) more this week than I go to do all of our Christmas shopping.

Friday night was girls' night. We went out to eat at Whiskey Cake. Landry was a big girl (only big girls get to wear a little bit of makeup) and picked out what she was going to wear and...

stood still long enough for Skip to do a fishtail braid in her hair.

Whiskey Cake was delicious! We'll definitely be going back.

Skip, Landry and me.

I know, I'm not looking at the camera. The other picture of us was too dark.

Landry couldn't wait for her turn in this swing.

I'm leavin' on a jet plane...
