We had another memorable weekend with my family. June is a busy month for us, so we decided to spend the weekend at Nat's family's lake house for Nana & Emmy's b/days and Father's Day. It was a wonderfully, relaxing get-a-way. We fished, ate, and swam all day everyday. No pics of Will this weekend...he never took a break for a picture. I hope Nana, Emmy, & the Fathers felt special. They sure are special to us!

Well...it's finally summertime!! Yippee! We had a very busy end of the school year and are glad to be relaxing. We spent our first week of summer in Abilene at Mom & Dad's and really enjoyed the luxury of having a pool in the backyard. We spent hours in the pool each day and enjoyed our friends dropping by for a dip in the evenings. Our last night ended with a terrible tooth accident when Tate tripped over his towel and landed face down on the pavement! He'll be snaggle toothed until he loses it in a few years.

Mom's Day

We had a wonderful Mom's Day this year. The kids and I (minus Jerrod who had to look after the ranch) drove to Abilene on Friday. We had a wonderfully relaxing night cooking out and letting the kids show off for Nana and Papa. My kids are all at such fun ages and it's so strange to watch them sometimes, because I can distinctly remember being 8 years old with two younger brothers. Saturday Lex and I took Gammy, Teryn, and Aunt Summer to lunch and had a great visit. That afternoon The Pittman family arrived and brought Queenie for the weekend too. We dropped by Western Heritage to watch the Matched Horse Races and had a blast while we were there and then headed back home for a relaxing night. The best part of the weekend was the message at church on Sunday. Beltway is such a spiritual place and I never leave there without feeling the Holy Spirit. The guest preacher was wonderful and had a great Mom's Day message, but the part that affected me the most was realizing that I am responsible for molding these 3 precious lives and even when I think no one is watching all that I am putting into my children and my home, God is always watching and appreciating. It was such a sweet message. After church Dad treated all of us girl's to a scruptious lunch at the Bee Hive. I'm so lucky that I still have both of my grandmothers!

Aub & Rob

Aubrey,Justin, and Ava Kate came to visit us this weekend and I miss them already! We had a truly wonderful time just eating, laughing, taking pictures, going to the zoo, and the park! Aubrey and I have been BFF's since 6th grade, never once getting into an argument, but getting into plenty of mischief! We were laughing this weekend while we were getting ready to take pictures and go eat that life is a little different than when we would get ready for a night out 10 years ago. This time we were entertaining kids while we were getting ready. They graciously took our family pictures for Mother's Day. You can see a preview on my blog, but I'm not posting anymore b/c they will be given out as Mother's Day gifts. They are wonderful! Afterward, we decided to relive our old photo shoots, and take some BFF pics. It was quite funny. I'm waiting on Justin to scan some of our past shots so you can see how far we've come!!
