Summer Time and the Living's Easy

We have already had so much fun this summer.  I can't believe we are half way through!!  Here is to some more great memories with friends and family!

 We love Miss Honda!!  She was Eli's favorite teacher, and was with Eli on his first day.  We will miss her so much, but are so happy for her next move.  At least we still have her to babysit :)

 We started ISR lessons.  These are not your typical swim lessons, rather more survival if Eli were to fall in a body of water.  We are around water constantly and he has no fear when it comes to any body of water, so we thought this would be the best avenue.  This is everyday for 10 minutes, and these sessions are equivalent to an intense workout for an hour to us. We haven't had the consistency that we thought we would due to the summer rains, but Eli is doing anazing turning and floating on his own.  Looking forward to the last few weeks to see how he advances.

 This boy loves some Cookie Monster now.  We love lazy Saturday mornings when we get a chance.

 BIRDS!!!  This boy is obsessed with birds.  He yells and points at every one he sees.  Since Derek works from home a few days a week, he takes him out every morning to watch the birds while they wait on me to finish getting ready for work :)



 Swimming with P&G!!








We love our backyard pool and sandbox.  It's amazing how much use you can get out of a $10 plastic pool from HEB - ha!

 Laying out is a little different these days, but I'll take it :)

 Nap time had by all!!


 Keeping busy on our road trips.  He loves his drum that Granny gave him for his birthday, and we love jamming out to the songs on the radio!


My Sister's Family seems to have all of their life events crammed into one month week:
Alison's Birthday - June 20
Hudson's Birthday - June 22
Aslynn's Birthday - June 24th
*Not to mention their anniversary and Father's Day

So ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL!!  Glad we were able to celebrate with yall - Love you!


Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Derek!!  You are such a great leader to our little family and we love you so very much.  Thank you for being the best Dad to Eli.  Y'all are going to love riding bikes together!!






Every Heart Beats True for the Red, White, and Blue

Happy 4th!!  We had such a great time celebrating with the family.  Eli always loves cousin time, and who doesn't love a good costume?!?!?
 My Little Firecracker!








 The Animal Whisperers!  These two have such a close animal bond.  Eli loves animals and also loves Charles taking him to see all of the different species in the backyard (a separate post to come) :)
 Giblings night out.  #middlechildsyndrome #thingswillneverchange

 After our Giblings night out, Kyle and I decided to have a night cap on the driveway.  We also thought it would be a good idea to plug in our new Christmas light Longhorn.  A few extension chords later .....
