4th of July

Sweet summer time, I love it!! We had a blast out at the ranch with the whole Austin family celebrating the 4th. More swimming, four wheelers, skeet shooting and even some cake decorating went on that weekend. I hate to say unfortunately when it comes to rain up here, but we had a big storm blow over the night of the 4th, so no fire works. No worries...there's always Labor Day weekend when we're all back out there to shoot them off ( if the boys can wait that long)!

Adelynn, Faith, Parker and I making our 4th of July cake!

(the girls found the picture and recipe in a magazine and asked me to make it with them, I was honored!)

Having fun!

Ta da! Finished product! It was delicious, it came from "Family Circle" if anyone wants to know! It had a very light texture and a nice lemon undertone. (I'm the foodie of the family!)

My very gun shy dog lying at my feet in the mule while the guys shoot skeet...pathetic!

She IS a bird dog, I think! :)

Family pic...notice the little fan on the Baby Bjorn, it keeps Parker nice and cool!

Pool time!

Uncle Luke giving Parker a mohawk...yikes!
