Summertime

Sliding into the deep end!

Aunt Julie, Harper and I made a quick trip over to Kingwood to see the Childer's family! We were planning on just having lunch and running some errands, but it was sooo HOT! We made a stop at my parent's pool to cool off! Saige and Harper had so much fun swimming and sharing toys! Harper wanted to do everything Saige did. She can swim underwater and he wanted to try! He'll be needing a little more practice. Harper found my racing goggles in the pool bag and decided he needed to model them!

Harper was in rare form because he shared his golf balls with Saige! Must be love!! He loves to hoard golf balls and rarely shares!! Saige is quite the little golfer herself....golf dates in the future??

Thanks for all the pics Jules!!

Happy 4th of July

Mama's and Babies

We had a wonderful 4th of July. Our morning started out really early as we headed to Market Street for the parade. We thought we arrived early enough to find a shady spot, but everyone else had the same idea. We were under a tree, but still no shade! It was very HOT, check out our sweaty pics! Harper had a fun time with his buddies Gavin and Parker. He really liked all the candy that was thrown! He was mesmerized by all the trucks and cars that went by.

After almost having a heat stroke at the parade, we decided it was time to head to the Halberdiers for some much needed pool time and naps. They were so nice to have us over and let us all invade their house! It was such a fun afternoon with the fam! The boys decided to play a few holes of golf while the girls got ready for fireworks at The Waterway. We had the perfect spot to watch fireworks. We were far enough way that the booms weren't too loud, but close enough to enjoy the show. We arrived early to get great seats, but a little too much "run around" time for the kids. Once again we were hot and sweaty keeping our kids away from the water!! I hope to make the parade and firework show a tradition! Harper and Daddy

Enjoying the show

Cooking

I needed to make a dessert for a lunch that Cam was hosting. I decided to have Harper help me. I thought brownies would be simple and a good start for Harper. I'm not really sure if boys should wear aprons, but oh well he wore one anyway! He was so excited to stand on the stool and watch me crack the eggs, pour the oil, and add water. I showed him how to stir and the rest is history. He stirred the brownies for 10 minutes!! I would try to take the bowl away to pour it into the pan, but he would firmly say, "NO!" I finally got the bowl away when I showed him how to lick the spatula! So now he says cooking every time we come into the kitchen!The final product!

Fun in Fredericksburg

Harper and I had a great weekend away in Fredericksburg visiting our friends, The Lutons. Evan and I were sorority sisters at Oklahoma State. We've stayed in touch and try to get together once a year. It's pretty easy to go visit her because she lives in the great town of Fredericksburg! Harper loves playing with her two little girls! They showed him how to play "girl" stuff. He loved playing house, pushing the baby stoller, carrying purses etc. He as asked for his "purse" aka the diaper bag ever since we've been home! So here are some pics of our fun time in Fredericksburg! Fredericksburg is Fun!!

Hugs!
