trip to Texas...

We had an unexpected trip to Texas in June (family emergency...things are still tense, but better) and we tried to have a little fun while we were down there.

Hanging out with Paw Paw!

Jackson must have enjoyed this!

yep, that says 107....it was really 104, but the real feel was 110!

Peter had his first trip to the pool, he LOVED it!!! he was soo happy!

Uncle Wayne is so cool and so much fun!

Peter is such a blessing to our family! I love to see him smile!

Lauren is loving the water this year!

my kids looked out of it, but it was way past bedtime and they didn't want to take a picture with their cousins, Ethan and Taylor.

Dinner with Grandmother Bellomy

at Lupe Tortilla...the best resturant! Lauren loved this horse!

Peter has his mouth open all the time...so cute!

Freebirds with my brother, Justin!

Dave had to get some swim time with Peter too!

We didn't get to do a whole lot of exciting things, but we had some good family time.

It's always nice to go to Houston and if you think about it keep Dave's Aunt and Uncle in your prayers. They were in a serious car accident and hie Uncle is still in the hospital. He should recover, but it will take a while. thanks.

Fun making Pizza!

tonight we made homemade pizza and I had two great helpers!!! it was so much fun!

taking turns...gotta love the faces they are making while not getting to use the roller!

Lauren and Jackson both working so hard!

dave walked in right in time to shread cheese!

Jackson was SOOOO proud! he usually doesn't want to eat my pizza, but i think since he made it, he was eager to eat it! and he ate almost 2 slices!

this is all Lauren would do when i said to show me her pizza...we had to just take it away, she was way too into the cheese!

Lauren looks like she is doing something she shouldn't be doing and Jackson is having fun! :)

Fun on the 4th!

Jackson helped me make cookies for the 4th of July party....well the picture displays all he really did :)

Happy 4th of July! Peter was excited about his first fourth!

we just had to get pics with our sweet baby!

Tub Fun

Here are Jackson and Lauren being silly...one day Peter!

a fun day swimming!

today was our first pool day and the kids has so much fun! our former neighbors took the two big kids and I went to take a few pics. This was the first time lauren went down the slide and was old enough to play and have fun! :)

SHE LOVED IT!

So did Jackson!

Lauren loved Sara too!

and ice cream afterwards...

YUM! they didn't last much longer after these pics...lauren was out around 6:50...bedtime is ususally 7:30-8:30...3 hours at the pool might be a part of our routine! :)

Look at Peter holding his head up SOOO well! everytime i put him on his tummy he screams, head is down, no fun! well it had been a week, so I put him on his tummy yesterday and he held his head up like he had been doing it forever...he is so cute :)

Jackson has been at VBS all week, so lauren and I have been having special playtime and lots of reading! yesterday was baby day! :) she loves her babies! and yes, she really needs her hair cut, i try to put her bangs out of her face but she hates things in her hair. We have an appt for monday, i scheduled it after seeing this pic up close!
