4th of July with our friends in Colorado Springs

We spent the 4th of July in Colorado Springs with The Murchison Family again this year and we had a lot of fun! Jerrod cooked ribs, pork tenderloin and chicken: IT WAS DELISH!!! 

 There were 3 different salads, Nana's beans (YUMMY), brownies, hot dogs, pies...SO MUCH FOOD!

Really it was the only reason we came.....for Jerrod's cooking.

JUST KIDDING!

The kids stayed in their swimsuits almost the whole day, played in the pool (except my two....they took about 4 hours to warm up to everyone). Had and Isaac never actually got into the pool.

We are from TEXAS and the weather here was about 75 degrees and the pool was C-O-L-D!!

 By about 7:30 the weather changed DRASTICALLY into a thunder/rain/hail storm!!

Needless to say we watched the fireworks on tv from the Boston fireworks and they were pretty amazing. 

Thanks for hosting us Jerrod, Lauren, Breleigh, Ace and almost here....baby Jax!

Lauren's Baptism

Some random pics

We had a busy July. I have been terrible at keeping up with what we are doing. We started out July by going to Colorado to visit my friend Lauren and her family!! On our way we stopped in Amarillo to spend the night with my cousin Alison. Here are some pics of the kids bath! HILARIOUS!

The last night we were in Colorado we got a babysitter and Jerrod took us to dinner. It was so yummy and so much fun to go out without our children!!

Isaac caught his first lizard

Isaac caught his first lizard. For some reason I think this gecko may have been on his way "out"! TURN OFF THE MUSIC AT THE BOTTOM to hear the sound of the video...it is HYSTERICAL!

BIRTHDAY PARTY 2009

Finally posting about our super CIRCUS/CARNIVAL birthday party! It was so much fun! Thanks to all my friends and FAMILY who helped out with this event. It was a success and my babies had so much fun with their new friends! Here are a few pics:

My friend Merydwen made the two TENT CAKES! They were so AWESOME! THANKS MER!

The cupcakes were made by Melissa Whitworth! Not sure if she has a website yet or not, but if you want her info just let me know! They turned out SO GREAT!

Mine and Hadleigh's Vacation

Last week we went to Burleson, Weatherford and Frisco to visit all our friends! Our first stop was in Burleson to celebrate Leighanne's (aka: Zizi) birthday. I have no photos from that b/c Leighanne was taking pics. Hopefully I will get some of those!

Our next stop was Weatherford to visit Cassy, Paul, Owen and Levi. Owen and Hadleigh were SO funny together. They chased each other all over the place. Cassy and I got to visit and then we did family photos!!

Our last stop was Frisco to see Becky and Jorja! We took the girls back that little play town we visited at Christmas and met Anne for lunch. The girls played in the water in the back yard and ate popcicles and on Friday we attempted to go swimming but the pool wasn't open yet, so we ended up at the splash park! Hadleigh wasn't too sure about it, but Jorja had fun!







In case you are wondering about Erik and Isaac they took their own vacation to see Grandma in Sacramento. Hopefully I will have pics to come for that as well (that is, if Erik did his job like I asked..heehee)
