Wilson is hiding a tear behind that smile as Allie and Jerry leave the reception. Sweet boy... loves his Allie!


On Sunday afternoon, we took a family trip to the bowling alley! We had a good time rolling (and sometimes throwing) the bowling ball down the very slippery lane (Wilson and Peyton each took a tumble down the lane)!! A fun end to a wonderful weekend together!

Soccer Camp, Slip-n-Slide, and Celebrate!!

Our June soccer camp was rained out, but this week we were back at it!! Ryan, Dylan, and I went to Nederland Soccer Camp at Doornbos Park and had a super fun time! You will notice in all of the pictures of us below, Peyton is ready to go with us... he got in the soccer spirit when he saw us in our shin guards and cleats, so he wore his tall socks to school every day!!

We had fun on Day 1

A rainy Tuesday morning led to a cancelled camp, but the sun came out in the afternoon and we were able to visit Carter at his Nanny's house in Nederland for a slip-n-slide, early birthday party for Carter! Here are some pictures of us sliding at the fun event!!

On Thursday, we were back in action at soccer camp!!

And here we are on Friday, ready to go for the goal!

I LOVE soccer camp!!

Dylan and I with Coach Layken. We really liked her! She made soccer camp fun!!

On Thursday night, family started arriving for Aunt Allie and Jerry's wedding, so we enjoyed a nice dinner at The Schooner with The O'Neal bunch in honor of Papa and Granny's 60th Wedding Anniversary (that they celebrated this past June 12)! We had a great time together!!


Momma tried to get a picture of all of us together after dinner, but we just couldn't all look at the camera and smile at once, so here we each are with Ryan!



Today is Aunt Allie and Jerry's wedding day!! We are so excited that we get to share their special day with them. We wish them a blessed day, filled with happy memories!

Six weeks of summer down... five to go....

Summer is officially half way over, but we are going to enjoy it right until the last day :) The last couple of weeks have been nice, relaxing summer weeks... play, get hot, jump in the pool kind of weeks!!

We celebrated Mommy's 34th birthday last week! We started the day by driving through the car wash for FREE!! It may not sound that exciting to you, but the day before Mommy's birthday, Ryan read a sign at the gas station that said "FREE car wash on your birthday!" We were all so excited when we woke up and it was Mommy's birthday... because that meant we got to drive through the CAR WASH!! We even got in the car and buckled up before Mommy could ask us twice... and that NEVER happens!! Here we are enjoying the car wash!


Mommy had a great day and really enjoyed our birthday surprises and scavenger hunt for her gifts!

On Saturday night, we all went to Colorado Canyon for a little putting! Peyton swings the golf club like a bat, Wilson hit a few wild ones, but settled into a good game; and Ryan and I are decent putters. It was a fun family outing!! 

Here is a picture of me coaching Wilson through his first putt of the evening...

No matter how many times Daddy helped Peyton set up, he couldn't break him of his baseball swing!

Oopsie! Ball in the water!!

A week from tonight, Allie and Jerry will be getting married!! We will all be dressed in our tuxedos and hopefully we will remember to be on our very best behavior. After the wedding, a super fun dance party and lots of pictures to share :) Hope you all have a great week, and special love and hugs to Allie and Jerry as they look forward to a lifetime of happiness!!
