I just love summer!

Just practicing putting our face in the water and blowing bubbles. Who cares if it is in the dog's bowl?



He did this himself. I had to take a picture of this b/c it is the only time he couldn't run away from me. This also gave me a good shot of his new hair cut.

This summer like so many in its past is going by to fast. I have only 2 1/2 weeks left before I have to go back to work. It always makes me a little sad that I will not get to be around my kids 24/7 and then again a little glad. We all know by the end of summer we all need a little break from one another.

This week is going by fast too but I wanted to give some highlights of whats going on. Lawson now has his summer hair cut and is too cute. He loves to rub his head. The first day was so funny b/c he would point to his head and say "Daddy". Matt was the one to shave the poor little guys hair off. I think Lawson was a little upset with him for a while.

It was also the first week for Lawson to take swim lessons. He did so awesome the first day. But the second day he did not like it. They were to wear floats and float on their own. It is so crazy to me he has no problem going under water and swimming with me holding him but once you put the floats on to swim he will not have it. He would not stop screaming. We finally had to take them off and by then he was done with swimming lessons for the day. Hopefully today will be better.

Brylie is also taking swimming lessons and is doing a little sole swimming now. Here are some pictures of the kids this week.

Girls Night Out!

Last Friday night was girls night out. I had free tickets to the Martina McBride concert. I went with my friend Brittney and her mother. My mother came into town so she also came and my forever friend Miss Holly. We had tons of fun! We went to P F Chang for dinner. Then headed off to the concert to see the opening act Jack Ingram. This was a really fun concert and I forgot just how many songs that I love that Martina sings.

These next few pictures are of mine and Brittney's kids while I was keeping them. The girls were playing dress up and then decided to dressed up their little brothers. Then the girls took turns being the princes while they danced. They all were tons of fun and played so well together.

My lil Buckaroos!

Last week Matt and I took the kids to the stock yards to see the famous cattle drive they have everyday. We decided to wear our boots and hats and be real cowboys and cowgirls. It was so funny because Lawson would not have any part of it. He would not wear his boots or his hat. He had the biggest fit, so he won and wore shorts and his favorite shoes, his crocs.

Brylie had outgrown her boots so on this trip we bought her new boots. She got leather pink boots. They are so cute on her. Lawson did get into the whole boots and hats once we got down there. While shopping for Brylie a pair of boots, he found some cute brown leather boots with big sparkle jewels on them. He kept trying to put them on and his daddy would not have it. So he would go up to people and say " hey ,hey shoe" and then sit down and point to his foot trying to put the boot on. Many nice people would stop to help until they saw daddy not having it.

We saw lots of cowboys and horses and longhorns that day. We ate at Riskeys and rode kiddie rides and did a lot of shopping. I can't wait to do this again with the kids. Next time we might try a museum or two.

Summer Fun with our Friends

Wow, this has been a FUN week. We went to the Ft Worth Zoo on Monday with some friends. We had so much fun. All the kids did awesome. We rode the carousel and the train and marched all over that Zoo. The kids were so fun to watch and see how excited they would get at all the different animals they saw that day. Lawson had a blow out when we first got there. So he had to be the white trash baby with out any pants on. I always carry extra clothes but that day decided he was getting so big we didn't need the extra cargo. Man, I was wishing I didn't make that decision that day. It did not seem to bother him a bit.

On Tuesday we went to our new water park too fun for words. It is a great place for families. We also had tons with our friends there. We played and played and still didn't get to see the whole park. We are going back soon because it was tons of fun. We left about 2:00 b/c Lawson feel asleep in my arms.
