Way to go Cowboy's!!

Last Monday night football game at the old Texas Stadium ( that is Ryan's friend P.J. in the Philly jersey) He is looking a little out of place.

Ryan was lucky enough to get tickets to the Cowboy's vs. Eagles game last night. We had so much fun, and I actually learned something about Football!!

Brinlee's 19 Month Pictures

Alex's first day of school in Texas!

Is there a problem? I have the swing still up under the stairs and curious George found it! She has an obsession with buckles and was in there playing with the buckle.

So many of you wonder what have the Roney's been up to? Two weeks ago today Alex made the decision to come and live with us in Texas. We were so excited, and had lots to do to get him registered for school that started August 25. It has been so much fun having him around!! Brinlee loves her big brother and he is so cute with her. Alex started diving school yesterday and can't wait to get his permit. YIKES!! He is loving all the girls and the new High School, which is a big change from his school of 80 students to a school of over 2700 students. As for me I am just trying to keep up with everyone. I still have Damon after school, and of course little miss Brinlee. Brinlee is a little monkey that loves to climb! I found her today on the top of the changing table. I am not sure what to do with her. She is curious George and gets into everything. I really can't take my eyes off of her, or she gets into trouble. She is so cute and she knows it. She is such a joy to have in our family!!

University of Texas Visit

While Nick and Alex were in town and we took them to UT. Nick is a senior next year and is looking at different colleges. Ryan, Nick and Alex toured the campus and they all came back very excited about it. We are trying to sway Nick to go there, but he has his heart stuck on UCLA. Alex was excited about it and he just might be the one we get there. Austin was very hot, so we only stayed one night and did not get out to see too much. Ryan and I hope to go back soon and see just why people are so crazy about Austin.

Some friends invited us to go camping at Lake Ray Roberts this past weekend. We had so much fun in the water! Brinlee loved the wave runner and Damon who was scared ended up loving it as well. I got to water ski and wake board and I was in heaven. Ryan got up on ski's, and tried really hard to get up on the wake board. I let Austyn drive the wave runner with me and he went so fast turning I flew off. That was the end of his driving. I have to say camping in a nice air conditioned trailor at the lake is the only way to go!! Thanks Melissa and Brian for a great weekend!!

Brinlee and Her Brothers

Brinlee and Austee (Brinlee's name for Austyn) "looking COOL"
Uncle Greg came to visit :-)
I needed to get some work done, so Damon and Brinlee went outside to hang out today. She thinks she is BIG like her brother!! Damon is such an AWESOME big brother!!
Austee watched Brinlee for us tonight, and when we came home this is where they were...look familiar? He is also an AWESOME big brother!!
Brinlee LOVES music just like Austee! I thought this was too cute sharing the ipod!

Brinlee at the beach club... I think I can catch it!!
Beach club on the splash pad that she loves! It does not matter that the water gets in her face she still LOVES it!!

Here are a few cute pictures from this week. This has been a fun summer having Damon and Austee around everyday. Brinlee LOVES her brothers and thinks they are so funny. They are both GREAT big brothers and we LOVE that they live so close. It is REALLY hot here, so all we have been doing is swimming or watching LOTS of movies to try and stay cool. We hope you are all having a wonderful summer!!

4TH of July Celebration

As a family tradition we have been going to the Freedom Festival in Frisco for the 4TH of July. We watched the soccer game and enjoyed a concert and fireworks show. Brinlee LOVED the concert ( a no name kid named Freddy trying to get a record label.) Brinlee was so funny to watch dance. She entertained everyone around us and loved it!! We hope you all enjoyed America's birthday!!
