Wedding in Granbury

About a month ago, Clay's cousin got married in Granbury. We went down there for the wedding with Alyssa and Ryan. It was a silly night full of lots of laughs. Most nights involving Nathan and Abby turn out to be silly and full of lots of laughs. Those two are nuttier than a fruit cake!

We had several failed attempts at a family picture. Our kids do not enjoy taking pictures right now.
Abby was insistent on dancing with her daddy!
Nathan ran around and popped rose petal ALL night. Aunt Gail even chased after him with Pa-Paw's cane. He loved popping the rose petals!

Camp Paw-Paw & Dee!

The kids and I just got back from a week at my parents' house. Nathan went to golf camp in the mornings while we were there and the rest of the time we just played and had a great time! Marcia and Mallory were there the whole time and Matthew even came up on Thurs. We were only missing Clay.
Two afternoons while we were there we ate watermelon.


Abby had the best time playing with her cousin Mallory.


Abby loves this bike helmet. She also loves to only wear her panties around the house. Don't be surprised if you come by our house at any given time and she's wearing only panties. Hopefully she will outgrow this habit soon.
Abby wore alot of hats on this trip.

Nathan was really tired every evening. He spent two hours at golf every morning, then swam every afternoon, & then went back to the driving range in the afternoons with Paw-Paw.


The classic bunny ears!

Wednesday morning mom, Marcia, & I took the girls to the Tyler zoo. It was warm, but we were finished before noon and had a good trip. We loved the white tiger. It came right up to the glass and we could see his blue eyes, big teeth, & long whiskers in great detail. It was super cool.

Introducing Mallory to popcorn!
"I'm the golfer!" was what she told us as she made these poses. Do they let you golf in your panties!?!

Afternoon at the pool!

Wedding & Schlitterbahn

Last month, we went to Georgetown for Clay's grandmother's wedding and then went to New Braunfels for a long weekend with our Georgia friends. Yes, that's right, Clay's grandmother got married. She is 86 and her new husband is 80. It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. We got there early on Friday morning, settled into the hotel, & went swimming. After swimming we did lunch and then shopped the Round Rock outlet mall. It's a good outlet mall if you are looking for one.


I LOVE this picture of the two of them together. Nathan is teaching Abby how to play his DS.

That night there was a dinner for all the family at a steakhouse in Georgetown. Abby and Nathan were the youngest people there. They had a good time being silly and the dinner and I managed to sneak some pictures.

This was about 2 seconds before they both fell out of the chair!
Love my baby girl!

Wedding Day!
Abby loves her brother!

After the wedding we drove down to New Braunfels where we met up with the Cmers. It was great to see our friends and just spend time relaxing together.
Sunday morning Jennifer taught the kids how to play Shuffleboard.

Charlotte & Abby
After the shuffle board we got ready and went to eat lunch in Gruene at the Gristmill and then floated the Comal River.

Monday morning we got up and went to Schlitterbahn!! It was a fun day in the sun for everyone. They have a ton of kid areas that Abby enjoyed and Nathan enjoyed doing slides and tube rides with Clay.
Everyone ready to head into Schlitterbahn!
Abby was very upset here because Clay would not let her take her purse in to the waterpark. She kept insisting that they had tables in the park and it would be okay to take it in. The purse stayed in the car.
