Summer Fun!

Well Summer is over and I'm just now blogging a few things that we did.

This summer was probably our first summer in Texas that we did have a big trip, which was kind of nice, but now I'm itching for a trip.

One day Dustin tool the boys somewhere so Elizabeth and I went the park. 

A lot of days at the pool. Thomas and Oliver have come so far in their swimming this past summer.

 

Baby Dolls are Elizabeth's favorite toy, and she takes good care of them, she changes their diapers, takes them to the grocery store, and puts them to bed. It's seriously the sweetest thing. 

A temple trip with some friends.

We went to the drive-in to see The Incredibles 2.

Thomas got really into Fixer Upper so it was fun to take him and Oliver to my recent trip to Waco.


And of course we had to celebrate Harry Potter on his birthday and to celebrate 20 years! The kids loved it. We also did many harry potter themed things for the month of July, Target did some activities one day and we did an escape room with my brother and his wife. Also Thomas started reading the Harry Potter books this summer and is on book #6! It's seriously has been so much fun seeing him get into the books.

Those are a few things we did this summer and school has officially started!

Girl's Trips

 Last weekend a few of my friends and I got a hotel in downtown Dallas and had a ladies' weekend and explored downtown. It was a lot of fun and relaxing, my favorite part was the big window we had in our room that showed the whole city.

Then today I was lucky to have some friends who were willing the go to the art museum with me (not too many people get excited about art) and it was also nice to go with no kids.

Summer Begins!

Thomas last day of first grade! He did awesome, he had straight A's and is reading 4-5 grade reading level.

We have started the summer fun with splash pad, swimming, water parks, and the zoo. The kids loved going to the zoo with grandma Lisa.

Trying Out Curlers

I have been looking forward to the day I could do curlers in Elizabeth's hair, so about a month ago we tried them out. Elizabeth loved it and couldn't stop looking in the mirror. I think her hair was still a little too short but we might try it again in a month.
