Saturday with Jen and Melissa

Saturday we went to go party with my cousins Jen and Melissa.  I forgot to get a picture with Melissa.

Grace, Ashley, Jen, Merry and Joy the dog.

 Eliza was so excited to meet Joy the dog.

We headed to the Linden picnic for some BBQ and snow cones.

 

The snow cones were the most popular items. 

Then we headed to  the Sumner County Ranch Rodeo.  Jacob won a lasso during the boot race.  I think something about bright orange shoes helped him.  The lasso was put to good use keeping Adam and Grace in check.  All in all a great day.

Happy 6 months Eliza

 Our happy little Eliza is 6 months old.

 She has 2 teeth

and has discovered her toes.

She loves her nubby blanket.

Especially if she can get it in her mouth.

Fun Friday - Children's museum part II and splash pad

 Adam ready to do some hard work.

 I am sure the foggy, upside down goggles were a big help.

Eliza trying out the ball pit.

Observing all the working.

All this noise is driving me insane.

Merry holding up the weight of the world.

Under the might foam arch.

Worker Grace.

Alright men, move it on out.

We went to the splash pad after the museum.

Running laps in the water.

Not sure if this is a sneeze or Merry is bracing herself for the shock.

Merry trying to flatten her horns.

Water-splashed Grace.

All the kids on the lawn.

Oh no, a giant has invaded Tampa.

Here comes the storm so it is time to go home.

Fun Friday at Honeymoon Island

Summer fun at Honeymoon Island.  Luckily I have Ashley to run back up for me so we can go to the beach without Brian.

All the kids in the surf and sand.

More busy-ness.

Digging is a must.

Feeding the pesky seagulls

Happiness.

I love beach hair.

Merry trying to eat all her goldfish before the seagulls attacked.

A large blue bucket and Grace.

Eliza's entertainers.

Adam did not want to get in the water because he was worried that crabs would bite him.

If only I could reach the spatula.

Nothing says summer like sandy toes.

Happy faces

 Adam does not seem to be fazed by his missing tooth.

Eliza playing peek-a-boo over her daddy's shoulder.

Dance recital

Grace was a ladybug in her dance recital entitled Cinderella Now and Then.

They are picture nazis at her studio so I only snapped some in the hall on the way to take studio pictures.

Grace on picture day. 

Lip gloss is so fancy.

Showing off her dance moves.

The best move during her program was when she laid down on the floor and pretended like she was dead.  

On the way to her recital.

Cowboy boots coordinate with everything.
