Corpus Christi

We went to Corpus Christi for Licia Dodson's wedding. She is a really good friend of ours from college. Her wedding was beautiful and I was able to catch up with the Gaither's and some other college friends too.

The girls have never been to the beach so we thought that this trip was the perfect opportunity to let them experience a Texas beach. They had so much fun. We had to pull them out of the water both days! We also went to the Texas Aquarium to view some of the fish, dolphins and other sea creatures up close and personal. Millie said that she loved the sea turtles best. She said that when she grows up she wants to train the turtles to do flips just like the dolphins!

Happy Birthday Daddy

We celebrated Will's birthday by taking him to our favorite mexican restuarant in downtown Bryan. Then we opened gifts and ate german chocolate cake back at the house! I guess as you age you need more help blowing out your candles!

Picking the Perfect Pumpkin

We took the girls to the Farmer's Market on the first day of Fall. They had lots of fun looking for just the right pumpkin to bring home.

New Cousins

Will's sisters had their babies! They were born just a few days apart. Now Grandmama and Grandpapa have FIVE Granddaughters! Katy and John have 3 year old Heidi and on September 7th had Laura Elizabeth. Sarah and Samuel welcomed their first on September 4th, Hannah Swan. Millie and Skylar are looking forward to playing with their new cousins.

Labor Day

We took the girls to the pool and sand volleyball courts for Labor Day. Millie loves playing in the sand and Skylar loves eating it!

Painting the Mailbox

Will helped Millie with her first painting project...the mailbox! She showed up with her watercolors so Will had to explain to her that they would be using a different kind of paint for this job! She did great and had lots of fun. Now we just need to paint the top maroon!

Colors

Today Millie learned how to mix the primary colors to make new colors! I think she enjoyed licking the spoons from the icing best!

Trip to Dalhart

We went to Dalhart to visit Papa and Grandmother and for Amber's 10 year high school reunion. We had a great time seeing all the new sites in Dalhart and playing at Papa & Grandmother's house. Grandmother spoils us with her yummy food and Papa loves reading stories to his granddaughters. I am so glad I went to my reunion. I was able to reconnect with old friends and meet their spouses and kids. This was a perfect ending to our summer vacations.

Wedding

We have a new member in our family. On August 2nd my oldest sister Tara said "I do" to Mr. Tag Green! It was a wonderful wedding weekend. They were surrounded by so many of their friends and family. We wish them the best as they begin their new life together.

Millie and her girl cousins were flower girls in the wedding. She and Meredith (also 3) walked down the isle together hand in hand. They totally forgot to drop petals as they went down the isle but once they got to Tag at the alter they remembered and started dropping handfuls at his feet! Quite hilarious....they sure looked pretty in their matching dresses though!

Summer Vacation

We just returned from our summer vacation to Luna, NM. It was so wonderful we can't wait to go back. This is where Will and his family vacationed when he was growing up. He has so many great memories from his childhood and now I can see why. It is the perfect location for playing outside, fishing, hiking and most importantly relaxing in the cooler mountain air! Here are some pictures from our trip. Just the beginning of our family memories in Luna. (Will's grandfather, aunts and uncles, cousins and second cousins are in the pictures too.)
