Family get-together

We had a small gathering at Granny's because my cousin Tanya was in town from Utah. It was really good to see her and her little family. We had lots fun laughing about old times.

Lauren and Emily

The three of us had lots of adventures growing up together, and many many good times.

We walked down to the creek to see one of our favorite old swimming holes.

4th of July

We had such a fun 4th of July! We went to the parade in Johnson City, and then to the firework show. It was a nice evening and we are so grateful for the opportunity we have to live in this wonderful country. We are proud to be Americans and deeply indebted to all those who sacrificed to make that possible.

Eclipse premier

For Jenn's birthday, I bought her and I tickets for the premier of Eclipse. I have never camped out hours before a movie started to save seats before, but there I was. I have to admit I felt a little silly, but it was a good movie and we had tons of fun.

Sherry and Lexy were at the same viewing, but a couple theatres down.

We even got to meet the cast members;)

Happy Father's Day!

I must admit that the Fathers in my life happen to be some of the best men I know. I am so grateful for the example they are and all that they do for us. Happy Father's day to all the dads in our lives, we hope you have a great father's day and hope you know how much you are loved and appreciated! We love you Quinn, Glen, DeLoy, Grandpa Romrell, Grandpa Taylor, and Grandpa Bateman!!!!!!! Thanks for everything.

Summer is here!

Now that it is officially summer with the kids out of school, I have a feeling we are going to be spending lots and lots of time at the local pools. There just isn't a whole lot else that can be done in the Texas heat. I have learned to pack lots of food, sunscreen, and pool toys to keep every one happy.

Just hanging out

Emily put her sunglasses on Tiger so that the sun wouldn't be in his eyes. We all thought they looked pretty good on him.

Tiger went for a little swim in the horse trough to cool off.

Emily watching Tiger swim, we couldn't convince her to get in there with him.

Gavin is such a great big brother giving his little sis a ride on the motor bike.

Rusty, just chillin.

Jenn's School

We went with my dad to take a horse over for a demonstration at Jennifer's school. The kids always have so much fun, some of them have never seen a real horse in person before, they love the opportunity to hear about horses and they even get to pet it.
