We visited my cousin in Dallas this weekend and got to see the REAL Texas that i had always imagined. The kids got to see the texas longhorns stroll down main street at the Fort Worth Historic Stockyards...then kelty got to sit on one and touch it's horn (walker chickened out on this experience)! I think the kids favorite part was the candy store. It was full of barrels of old fashioned candy (any child's dream).
My kids beg for popcicles every day. I liked the middle pic...kelty's face shows pure satisfaction!
This 4th of July was awesome! because my family came to visit us again. Because the 4th was on Sunday we enjoyed holiday festivities for 3 days in a row...Saturday we went to a parade and went shopping. Sunday we went to church, had a BBQ, went swimming, and then went to a fireworks show. Monday went golfing, swimming, dinner and then did our own fireworks. It has been a busy week and i am sad that my family is leaving! After the 4th of july it is the hardest part of the summer for me, i get really bored and i want to go home already! So i will just have to head to Dallas and spend some of this miserable time period with my friend Courtney. Oh, and God Bless America!
Our day at the children's museum left to right...1. ambulance driver 2. grocery shopping 3. water works 4. water gun 5. detective/EMT 6. waitress 7. polka dot dancing 8. little chef 9. boats float 10. scary tiger 11. beep beep 12. china town... and that was that!
We went to California this last weekend to attend Rachel's (Matt's youngest sis) wedding. It was absolutely perfect and beautiful in every way.
It's so funny when Matt is trying to explain the rules for his little games...all the salesmen want to debate the rules and it gets a bit out of control.
The traditional money dive was a little less exciting this year since the pool is 3 times as big as the pool we had last year.
500 quarters for 500 sales!
Orange hair, orange floaties, and an orange soda!
It's our 7th yr Anniversary on Sunday...so this is the only decent pic i could find of just us. Here's my shout out to the love of my life! He is handsome, funny, sweet, and i just luv'em to death!
Today we went to Old Mcdonald's Farm in the country. It was kind of a random funny little farm with animals running all over the place including wild deer!
The goats ate right out of the kids hands, which i was a little nervous about but kelty said it just licked her hand and didn't bite her (well you'll never know till you try).
I wish you could have seen the look on walkers face when he rode the pony...pure joy!
I had to get a picture of the little "chicken city".
There was a big sand hill to play on... While the kids were playing a butterfly was trying to land on walker's head (i think it thought walker's hair was a flower).
Kelty got the butterfly to land on her bucket and then i got it to land on my finger! I have never seen a butterfly so friendly.
So the deer that roamed around the farm were kind of scary. Every time we started feeding the other animals the deer would run up and get right in your face because they wanted the food.
Well the kids had fun and i am glad i got some pics with the iphone because I was in need of a posting for grandmas.
Kelty thinks that she has a new doggy. One of the reps has a dog that we walk every now and then, and the kids of course love it. She tells everyone about HER dog Milo:)
