June/July Camera Reel

I can't believe we only have one more "real month" of summer... but temperature wise, probably about 3 more months or longer in Texas! Trying to catch up on everything so here is our summertime reel....snow cones, family time, pools time, you name it - we are doing it!!

 Best father's day gift ever!  We have gotten 400% Return on our investment with this snow cone machine.  
 Sunglasses, good tunes, and Austin Traffic...Gotta keep it fun when you are stuck on the road.
 We finally have the double stroller!!!!!  I cannot tell you how excited I am for our walks now, and the kids love it also!!




 Eli hard at work.
 My poor baby.  This was the first time she got sick after her 2 month shots.  All she wanted was her mama.  I even moved the rocker in our room when we had company in town.

 Jenni and Jackson came to our pool to hang out.  Love it when we can get together.

 The Gist Cousins!!  Michelle and Brett were in town with their 2 high school boys for a baseball tournament.  Eli is so into baseball right now, so we made it happen last minute, packed up and had a great time with family. 
 It took a while for Eli to warm up, but love that he just hung out and watched the game from his stroller holding his bat.
 My cousin, Brett.
Eli finally came out of his shell and was swinging the bat when the pitcher pitched the ball.  so cute!


 Random pool fun!



 Sweet brother sister love.  Melts my heart <3

 Watermelon and cantaloupe from the garden.  This is about the only thing that is left in my spring garden.  This year was a rough year with all of the rain.


 How is she this big right now and sitting in the bouncer.  Love that Eli wants to play with her and show her his toy and how to use it.


 Potty training, naked booties, and books!

 Our backyard fun with our new blow up pool and water slide.
 Miss Virginia (Or as Eli calls her, Miss "Ginia" - on of our favorite teachers.  
 Second haircut, but first legit haircut with Robert. Eli came up while I was processing, so it was fun to make it a family affair.  We were talking about how Robert has done our hair since the 90's .... THE 90s!!!  Talk about family hairdresser.  He definitely knows all of our secrets :)
 The finished product - such a cutie!
 Cousin camp

 Selfies with Eli
 Getting creative with our dates.  You always have to do the stair stepper with a partner, and I wouldn't choose anybody else but this handsome man!

 One of our work from home days ... Making it work! Laptops, monitors, smoothies, babies, OH MY!


 Oh Eli and his Cupboard ...

Happy 32nd Birthday to Me!

Birthday's are a little different these days with 2 under 2, but so happy and thankful to spend some wonderful quality time with the family.  We started off with an adult only sushi dinner, Ali invited me to go with her friends to the Byron Nelson, and then presents galour!!  I could not have asked for a better week.




 Sake, Sake, Sake BOMB!! (And the first picture I was able to sneak a picture of Kyle).




 I wish I knew that I was going to the Byron Nelson, and I knew a little bit more about golf.  We went on the day of the practice rounds and all of the professionals were walking around.
Our original plan was to go layout by the pool; however, I have never in my life wanted to be my a fire on my birthday.  It was freezing!!!!

 Love that these little munchkins came over to celebrate with me.




The famous Berry Chantilly cake from Whole Foods.  Only on Birthdays!!

Summertime means Pooltime

I forgot to post these at the beginning of summer ... now we are in August!!  We sure have had a great time so far.  And you know me, with the sun is out so are we!! Love our neighborhood pool and backyard fun.









Popsicles and strawberries are the best pool time snacks!!

Derek's mom came down to meet Everley and hang out with Eli.  They had a blast visiting the zoo and going to eat snowcones.  Who wouldn't love their "Neena" coming to visit.  Come back soon!!!



Passed out while laying out with mama.

More Popsicles!!

#Vintage.  Everley is the 5th girl to wear this suit - Alison, me, Aslynn, and Ryder. 


Tummy time by the pool.  Yes please! A girl after her mama's heart.  She knows to cooperate by the pool :)
