Summer happenings

Well, here we are about two weeks away from school starting.  It is sad in more ways than one because first…my baby boy is starting kindergarten, and second, summer itself (my favorite time of year) is coming to an end.  It amazes me how fast a summer can go, I think it's because of all the constant activity!  Here is what we've been up to…

4th of July with the whole Austin crew!

There were lots of smiling little kids everywhere having the time of their lives!

Daddy's girl

Sydney and Faith

Of course there were lots of sparklers and fireworks!

Sweet morning snuggles.

Next up: a visit to see Uncle Steve!  No tears from P this time.

These boys love to swim together...

and eat snow cones too!

Family time at the pool

In mid July, I took the kids down to Dallas for a week long visit.

The Arboretum never disappoints!

 Aunt Lindsey joined in on the fun!

I even snagged this handsome guy for a date at Starbucks one morning.

Sydney could swing all day at Neesie and Grandad's

A night out with my Sista!

I asked Parker what is the one thing he wanted to do while in Dallas and he said "go bowling".

And bowling we went!

James flew down that weekend so we could get away for our anniversary while the kids stayed behind. To say it was relaxing would be an understatement!!

We've had a lot of fun with friends at the ranch!

S'mores in the creek bed.

You just can't beat a warm summer night

 (at least in Amarillo, Tx where it cools off at night)!!
