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!!

and her daddy taking her in the BIG pool to swim :-)
Brinlee and Damon enjoying a day at the pool!!

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!!

What have we been up to????

Damon and his Daddy on his special day... I just LOVE how much he looks like his Daddy
Damon and Brinlee going to see WALL-E

Yes we are still alive! It has been a crazy

and very hot summer so far. Damon was baptized on the 14th of June. We are so happy for him and he is doing so well. He is growing up and is my little buddy. I love having him around, and so does Brinlee. Today I got brave and took Damon and Brinlee to go see WALL-E. Damon really liked it and Brinlee did for the first hour. After that she was done. It was her first time actually going to the movies. She was so cute and snuggled with me on my lap loving the huge screen. She also enjoyed the popcorn and ate most of it! I think she is going to be just like Ryan and boys and love movies. I am going to be out numbered, because I really don't like movies, and I fall asleep in them.

Las Vegas Trip

Mother's Day Brunch
We enjoyed the spa everyday
Brinlee loves Papa and his kisses
Grammy couldn't get enough of this sweet, beautiful girl!

Ryan, Brinlee and I went to Las Vegas for Mother's Day weekend, and as always had a fabulous time! Carolyn and Arden are always so hospitable, and make it very enjoyable to visit. Brinlee loved spending time with them, and they enjoyed being grandparents. We were able to enjoy a manicure and pedicure, Mother's Day brunch at the Marriott, a massage, and a really cool magic show by Steve Wyrick. We forgot our camera, but Carolyn was so good to share her pictures. We love you Grammy and Papa!! Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend :-)
