camping at garner state park


This past weekend we went camping at Garner State Park with my sister's family and my parents. We had to drive all the way across Texas to get there but it was worth it! The park was beautiful and the Frio river runs right through it. The river was crystal clear and during the day it warmed enough for us to go swimming. The boys had so much fun wading through it, collecting rocks, they were even brave enough to jump off the rope swing into the river. At night we had fun sitting around the camp fire making S'mores and telling ghost stories. All the older kids got to sleep in their own tent and the first night they woke up super early before the sun came up. I think they might have woken up the whole park because they were talking and laughing so loud!

fall weather


We have been loving playing outside in the wonderful weather we have had here lately. It's so nice to go outside and not break into a sweat from all the humidity and heat. It actually feels like fall!

Kyla's Birthday party


On Saturday we went to a fun birthday party that my sister threw for Kyla. All the kids had a blast playing all the fun games that Lauren had planned. There was an obstacle course, water balloon throw, and balloon pinatas. Of course, also lots of good food and a super cute cake!

When my boys come home from school they are usually starving and want a snack right away. While the boys were at school Ava and I had fun making these cookies. They were a delicious after school snack.

I'm so glad it's Friday! This week wore me out. This weekend the boys have plans to play with their pet frog and lizard they caught yesterday. As soon as they got home from school, they ran outside to check on them. Aiden asked me if I could help him catch a girlfriend for his frog (lol)!

Today was the boys first day of school. They both had a great first day and like their teachers. It's crazy how peacefull and quite it is around here with the boys back in school! I enjoyed have them around alot during the summer and was a little sad to have them go back so soon.

elayna's party


On Saturday we celebrated our niece Elayna's 10th birthday. First, we all went to a fun indoor water park. It was nice not having to worry about getting burnt and applying sunscreen! After the water park everyone went back to Lauren and Dan's house and Lauren had planned a fun Luau themed party, with delicious food. Ava was in heaven rummaging through all of her cousin's pretty dress up clothes. Everyone got a good laugh watching all the kids and Grammy do the Limbo.

lake vacation

The start of school is right around the corner. We were able to squeeze one last vacation in before school begins. We went to the lake and stayed in a cabin with my sister and her family. It was so much fun to get away for a couple of days and enjoy nature and each others company. I love that my kids have cousins who live close by and that they are such good friends.
