Wow, it is almost the end of July and I'm still in shock that the kids go back to school in a week! We have had an extremely busy, but wonderful summer and hate to see it ending so soon!
Here are the major events since the last posting....
Jacob and Mary Rose went to Kamp Kennessee again in June. Loved every minute of it...lots of old friends, new friends, and fun, fun, fun. Here's a link to their talent show performance with our friend, Dan Lankford....
After our Atlanta trip for my parent's 50th anniversary (see earlier post) we headed out to Texas for our annual trip to Dallas. Kevin & Conrad played golf in the Tyler "GPGA" tournament, Jacob got in to the Texas FC camp in Austin at the last minute and the younger kids and I had a great time hanging out in Dallas with Mary and kids. Mary is such a great hostess and we were pampered and spoiled all week....swam, ate, swam, napped, shopped, swam, ate...you get the picture! Here are a few shots of our time in Dallas...
Baby Cora LOVED Uncle Kevin...probably 'cause he fed her anything she wanted!
Bedtime buddies.....Mary Rose, Selah & Sophie
Me & Mary
A serious water balloon fight
Stinsons and Flemings after our intense Whirlyball night...
Jacob happy to see his siblings after Texas camp.......
Brooke Payne...one of my dear Texas friends!After picking Jacob up at camp, we headed to San Antonio to see some more of our favorite Texans. We visited with the Moody, Freiling and Klutz families....shared memories, laughed a lot, ate too much....a wonderful visit in every way!
Here are some shots of us having fun in San Antonio:
The Stinsons visit the Alamo
Mucho fun at El Mercado
Finally got to catch up some with my sweet Melissa!
And our dear friends, the Moody's, whom we miss SO much!
We love all of our Texas friends so much and would visit so much more if it just wasn't so far away....and so HOT!
Back home to Tennessee last weekend, grateful to come back to cooler temperatures, plenty of rain while we were gone to keep everything green and blooming...ahhh, nothing beats coming home! And the best way to end summer...?? All the kids just left for a week at Pops and Grandma's in Kentucky! I don't know who was more excited, the kids or Kevin & me or his parents! Well, it probably wasn't his parents! They are so sweet to do this each summer....and they all have a blast, but I'm sure it wears them out! It probably takes them a whole year to get their nerve up to try it again! We are excited to have a week to ourselves...wonder what we'll do....
