Summer days

Another trip to the park...I'll take advantage of this nice weather as much as possible!!

Day at the park

We headed to the park the other day to enjoy some of the nice weather we've been having! We went with our best buddy Drew and his mom Shannon. These guys have the most fun together. I was so pumped when I saw this picture of the boys together...how often do I get 2 smiles AND 2 sets of eyes looking at the camera! Of course, boys will be boys, and I have several "bootie" shots to prove it. (The bootie shot was taken by Blake...shocker right?)

First soccer game!

The boys had their very first soccer game on Saturday! Their team is the Coyotes and there
are 6 little guys on the team. They play 3 at a time. We think they did great for their first game! Cody scored 3 goals and Blake scored one. We think the final score was 6-5 (we lost). Blake needs to focus on actually kicking the ball and not just running by it, but overall they did fantastic!!

Lake fun!

We went out to Joe Pool Lake last weekend to hang out and enjoy the nice weather. The boys have really gotten to be little water babies! They love jumping in the water and swimming. Maybe next year we can get them on the tube!

Soccer!!

We started playing soccer this year! The boys have practice twice a week and their first game is Sept 6. They love it so far. They want to practice at home all the time. There are six kids on their team, and their coach is great. God bless him for the patience he requires to teach 6 little boys to play soccer!

Kylee's 9th bday party

I don't know what Trish will do next year for Kylee's birthday, because I can't imagine a blow up water slide bigger than this one!! We all had a great time sliding down the slide...i little baby oil definitely made you go faster!! The boys were exhausted the next day...Cody vegged on the couch until almost 11! It was a blast.

4th of July at the Lakehouse

We spent the 4th as we have the past few years, out at the lakehouse on Lake Limestone. The fireworks show that some of the residents put on is just awesome. We go out on the boat and watch it from the water. Can't beat that. Here's a few pics from the firework show, and then just hanging out at the house!

More from Mexico...

Here is Tadd cliff jumping at Xel Ha! Unfortunately my file is too big, but if I can figure out how to edit it, I'll post it too!

At Xel Ha we were able to try out cliff jumping! The cliff was 15 ft high, and the water below was 10 ft deep. We actually did it twice each. The first time we didn't have the camera, but I couldn't cliff jump and not have proof! The first time I screamed like a crazy person going down... I managed a little restraint second time around! There's no convincing yourself to do this...gotta just do it!

Mommy and Daddy go to Mexico!!

Tadd and I took a trip to the Riviera Maya at the end of June. We had an absolutely fantastic time. It was gorgeous, and the hotel was great. We went parasailing, visited Xel Ha, cliff jumped, and of course, drank lots of cerveza!! Here are a few pics. The boys stayed with Nandy and Papaw, and then my mom,...and I don't think they missed us a bit!!

Summer fun!

We have a great new water park near our house. It's got a cool kids' area, plus lots of slides and a wave pool. Literally five minutes from home! Can't beat that. Here are a few pics of us from the neighborhood pool and the water park with our friend Drew.

Family comes to town!

Uncle Ryan and Aunt Bran come to visit last week, along with Aunt Jessica and Uncle BJ. The boys had lots of fun with Cecelia, and we can't wait to meet the new baby due in September. We all had lots of fun. Ryan's best bud from high school came down (they live in Plano) with his wife and kids and we all hung out and had lots of laughs. Here are a few pics from the long weekend.

Trip to Ft Worth Zoo with Mimi

April 19

Mimi bought the boys memberships to the zoo since she is only about 10 minutes away. They really enjoy going and took a lot of pictures themselves this time!! Thanks Mimi for showing the boys a great time and giving Mom and Dad a break!
