July 2011

Rubbing my feet with lotion while I'm on bedrest (totally his idea)... he's such a sweet sweet little boy.

My sweet friend Bunny took care of us for a few days while I was on bedrest... she was so great and Buddy LOVED playing with Noah (grandson).  We were sad when it was time to leave Hotel Luttrell.

We are all cars...  all the time around here.  I LOVE having a little boy!

I thought we were past being scared of fireworks... apparently not.
Firework show cut very short.  Happy 4th!

Snuggling with little man.  One of my very favorite things in the whole wide world.

 
 "Helping" with laundry.

Joey has been making us shakes... such a fun treat every night!

When a fork just isn't fast enough.

 

I love this picture so much!
photo texted to me from a swim date with Lexi!

 Fresh fruits and veggies from roadside stands... one of the great joys of Summer.

 Celebrating our six year Texas anniversary... moving here was one of the best decisions ever.  We love Texas!



I walked in the room and he was just typing away on my laptop looking very serious about it all.  I think I work too much.

Weird cravings.  I mean I like Taco Bell and all... but wanting it every day?

 
I've been taken off "full" bedrest and given the ok to resume "moderate" activities... so our first activity was an evening at the lake with friends.  Swimming, bonfire, dutch oven dessert... a PERFECT evening with friends.




skipping rocks at Lake Texoma... A Sunday family favorite.


 Birthday lunch for Nicole at Fuzzy Taco's.  We love Nicole (and Fuzzy Taco's!)


Two very hungry pioneer children... I know this because they kept saying "we're huuuuuungry!"
A super fun festive Pioneer day celebration for all!

Fluffy Snow Cones with Lexi and Nicole... best snow cone ever. Totally worth the 45 minutes it took us to find the stand and the 30 minute wait in line.

Buddy is totally in love with The Fresh Beat band right now... he loves to sing and dance right along with them. Fake guitar and pants required. (I had just changed his diaper when they came on and he jumped up and ran and grabbed his pants and said "mama, mama... pants on!"... oh how I love him and his little ways).


 Celebrating National Ice Cream day at Braum's

Chuck E. Cheese is my own personal hell. But little man loves it. So I endure.

Bow making activity with the girls... I have no need for bows so I just went for the moral support and chit chat.

Big Joey is making little Joey watch old Jackie Chan movies.... a whole new generation is being introduced to bad kung-fu. Karate chops from the little one included.

We've been trying to craft more these days... mostly we just get paint every where...but we call it crafting just the same.

Family date night at Logan's. Mental note: never, ever order the meatloaft again. Blech.



A run to Sonic in our PJ's for floats... When it's 97 degrees at 10:30pm anything goes!

 Afternoons at the splash pad... its one of the highlights of our Summer!
