New Bathroom!!!

About a year ago, we noticed a leak in our master bathroom from the shower. At first we didn't think it was to terribly huge, but it was. But now, after many months of all using the upstairs shower, we have a newly remodeled master bath!!! It is so pretty and we are super happy with how it turned out.

Dee's Birthday!

My mom's birthday was on July 26th. She came up here and spent the night with us on her way to Muenster for a birthday celebration. Marcia and Mallory were here and we had a fun and funny night celebrating our Dee. We had a yummy dinner of Texas dressing with pound cake and fresh peaches for dessert.

Before dinner Abby fixed Dee's hair. This is something that both Marcia and I did when we were growing up. So I'm glad Abby can carry on the tradition.

After dinner, Dee opened all of her presents. We gave her a golf-themed chip and dip sort of thing for her real present. Nathan and Abby gave her a ton of other presents that they chose and wrapped all on their own. Here they are helping her to open all the mystery gifts.

Nathan gave Dee one of his golf balls to use for her golf outings.

Abby gave her the "shotter" from her doctor kit.

Abby also gave her a carton of plastic Easter eggs.

Here is her real present!

Abby also gave her the "Mac" truck from the movie Cars.

They gave her a cap gun, too. Just what every good grandmother needs.

These two loved helping her open all the "presents"

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!

Abby & Dee!

Parsh & Abby! Glasses girlies!

Here I go!

This is a really hard crowd to take a picture of!

Little relaxing in the hammock!

Thursday night we made homemade ice cream!!! It was so delicious! We loved every bite!

Who's teaching who how to make ice cream here?

Last day of golf for Nathan!

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!

Abby was quite the entertainer during the reception. Here she is working the crowd.

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.

Nathan & Ansley

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.
