Wow, it has been a while since I've updated. I went to see Wicked mid July and loved it! That was so much fun to do with Jonathan and Lauren and her parents. Here is us before the show at Seco's. Their rehearsal dinner will be here too.

Then we had a birthday party for Ryan's friend, and a girl's night at Lopez with a few ladies I haven't seen in years. We were middle school and high school cheerleaders together. It's so fun to catch up...over margaritas.

The kids and I then packed up and went to West to visit mom for her birthday. It was such a wonderful, relaxing trip. The best part was sitting outside at night with the boys and looking for stars, airplanes, planets and the moon in the beautiful country sky. It's amazing how much clearer you can see it all without the big city buildings and pollution. Ryan had a blast when we fed the cows and fish. I think he loved my parents donkey, Barack most of all. He started calling all the cows Barack too. HA! He talked to the cows a lot this trip. The boys are going to enjoy visiting the farm for many years to come. Here's Jayson with Jack the cat or Yack as Ryan calls him.

When we got home, the boys had to go in for Kindergarten readiness testing. I can't believe school starts in 2 weeks! Such an exciting time for them and us too. We went school supply shopping and school clothes shopping so they are almost all set! Work has been exciting too since we made profit sharing for the 2nd Quarter. That was a nice surprise and now I have Christmas shopping money!!!! Woohoo! Aside from all of this we have been trying to go to the pool as often as we can and enjoy the rest of the summer. Here is Scott, Justin and Ryan enjoying the refreshing water.

This weekend we are going to visit Scott's parents in Kingwood one last time before school starts. Soon we will be traveling back to West for Jonathan and Lauren's engagement party on August 21st. So much excitement! Here is one final picture of my cool kids. GiGi and Grandad brought these back for them from a recent trip. HA!!! Lil' Indians.

I also signed the boys up for Fall soccer with
FFPS so we will be wrapped up in school and soccer very soon. I just love my life!!!
