Lake Weekend

We met my BFF from high school, Erica, and her family out at the lakehouse for a weekend.  It was super super hot but we managed to stay relatively cool and had a really good time.  Her son is a little under two, and the boys enjoyed taking care of him (so to speak).  They did some fishing and lots of golf cart riding.  The adults enjoyed some cool lemonades on the back porch.  ;)

The Greatest Show on Earth! (um...not really)

My friend Lauren had tickets to the circus she ended up not needing so I decided to take the boys.  They weren't overly excited about going.  They kept saying it was "boring" although I don't really think they even knew where we were going.  All in all we had a good time.  They liked seeing the elephants and the big tricks by the acrobats.  And they love their $20 swords (ridiculous, but how do you say no??)

Summer catch up!!

I've been such a slacker this summer!!! Here are links to the new posts I've just done. I have a few more to catch up on but I'm in blog overload right now.

Ryan And Brandie's visit

Ryan and Brandie's visit

Ryan, Brandie and the kids came to visit for a week in July. As usual we had a blast, and as the kids get older they have more and more fun together. We did lots of swimming and playing. The kids had fun too. ;) As usual the visit was too short, but we'll see then again in November for Turkey day!

Trouble from the moment they got there!!

Love this pic of Wallace and Cody.

Father's Day

Tadd's parents came to visit for Father's Day and we took them and my mom to Texas de Brazil. It was the boys' first time there also and they actually ate pretty well. We were all stuffed as usual but had a good time.

Three generations

Yum....cake!!!

The boy must always have his picture taken.

Swim lessons

The boys took swim lessons again this summer at the local Natatorium. They have improved so much from last year and are actually becoming pretty good little swimmers. I am considering putting them in another session to improve and keep their skills. I wouldn't mind having a couple of little swimmers!!

Cody doing freestyle I believe.

Learning to dive.

Joe Pool Lake

My friend Kim invited us out for the day at Joe Pool Lake. Her brother has a sweet boat and we hung out for a few hours swimming. Kim and her husband have jet skis and Tadd took the boys out on a ride. They loved it!!

Super cool Cody
