Girls Weekend (and Daddy FUN!)

Kristin, Jill, Kelly, and I headed out to New Braunfels for a fun Girls Weekend! We spent some time in the river, enjoyed our precious condo, and saw Pat Green in concert. We all were in need of a getaway, and I am so glad I went with these girls. I'm pretty sure much of the time was spent laughing (and dancing...and singing karaoke). Can't wait to make this an annual event!

And here's what happened when all the kids and the Daddies got together. DANCE PARTY!!!

Summer visitors!

This weekend, Aunt Hilary and Uncle Matt came to visit - they brought along cousins Gunner and Gavin. We were excited to see them and visit with Jake too!

YUM - marshmallows!

Mommy made tacos for everyone! We thought it was delicious!
Then, just like last year (see here) we were able to see Mommy's friends Matt and Lindsey Hopkins and Dean Thomas too! Dean walked in holding Mater, so I liked him instantly :)

These boys have grown SO much in one year! It was bittersweet since Lindsey's parents are moving out of our old neighborhood in Atascocita. Not to worry, we will meet again for another fun playdate!

Summer is BUSY as you can see. But, one thing is for sure -it needs to SLOOOOW down!

The Circus!

We survived the craziness of the circus so why not reward ourselves with some ice cream??

A certain someone was NOT a fan of the loud noises, so we had to move back a few rows to take it all in. After a little bit, he LOVED it all (especially the cotton candy and popcorn) :)

My new hat!

It was a little big.... :)

The motocycles were an instant favorite!

Thanks to my Mi-Maw for taking me to the circus! I'm still talking about it now!

Summer birthdays!

Happy Birthday to my buddies Braxton and Drake! First up was B's bday, and it was fun -- Cars bounce house, pizza, popsicles, and a pinata!

Next up - Drake's shindig at the Houston Zoo! Here is my Daddy with an elephant named Hans (How happy does he look that Mommy made him take this pic?? She thought it was HILARIOUS!).G, Chloe Jane, and Hans :)

Mommy, me, and the elephants!

G and AJ!

G and a monkey deep in thought...

Giraffes! (or Melman from Madagascar - as G called them)

We had a great time at both birthday parties! Happy Birthday to my friends!

Michigan 2011

We had an amazing time in Michigan. Our good friends, Kelly and Zach, were married in Northport on Saturday. What a gorgeous place! We spent time in Northport, Suttons Bay, Leelanau, and Traverse City.

We enjoyed a beautful and exciting fireworks show in Northport on the 4th. I loved relaxing on a blanket with a glass of wine :)

Sunset at Peterson's Park with Mrs. Freed!

Traverse City Beach for the 4th and the Cherry Festival!

Silly girls after the wedding - bonfire on the beach!

We tried and tried for a fun jumping pic....

I love these.....

Cy Fair teachers reunion - so much fun!

Beautiful centerpieces....

Such a sweet reception site - Willowbrook Mill.

Arriving in style!

Hans had to try a cherry right off the tree!

View from the church - beautiful!

We ate our weight in sandwiches while there! Here is my favorite from The Cheese Shop. Check out the pretzel bread! YUM.

Hanging out in Fish Town

Kelly and Zach - thanks for a wonderful vacation.

We are so happy for you and love you to pieces!

And our little man was in good hands while we were gone...check out his singing skills!
Thanks to my Mom, my sister, and my wonderful friend Kelly for taking care of our sweet boy!
