Summer!!!!!

Okay, so we all know how horrible I am at keeping my blog updated. I do a pretty good job during the summer, but once school starts, it is impossible. But, it is summer again, so I will give it a try.

It makes me so sad to think that we are almost a month into summer. We have been so busy and have not had any rest time. The first week of the summer I was at a math training. I hated being away from my kids the first week of summer, but it was something I had to do!

We planned on going to Gulf Shores this summer, but with the oil spill, we didn't want to chance driving all that way and then not being able to get in the ocean. So, we scrapped that deal and at the last minute booked a trip to Galveston. We had so much fun! Some friends went with us, which made it even better. The Whitakers have 5 kids and I thought that we were going to have a tough time having 4 adults and 9 kids, but it was no problem at all!!! All of the kids were so well behaved and got along so well. We had such a good time, Here is a shot of the 5 oldest.


I want to go back now!!! We didn't do a thing but play at the beach and in the pool at the hotel.













Connor went straight out into the waves and had a blast the whole time. We doesn't fear the ocean at all. Jaxson was the same way for the most part, but at times he did get scared and decide to move closer to the shore. Kaden wasn't a big fan of the beach. At best, he sat in the sand where the waves crashed in, but most of his time was spent playing in the back of the Yukon.


Halle wasn't a big fan of the beach either and spent most of her time in her daddy's arms or my arms...but that was okay too!!!

I always wonder when we go on vacation why we don't just stay in a hotel in Royse City because all they really want to do is play in the room and swim at the pool!!!


This week has been busy because is doing two different camps. He is going to baseball camp from 8-11 in the mornings and Twilight Camp from 5-9 in the evenings. He is having a blast but he is very tired. Monday he had a dental appointment and I had a doctor's appointment in between camps and today we are going swimming at a friend's house in between. We are keeping that boy busy!

After this week, the summer shouldn't be so busy. We don't have anything planned except VBS at the end of July.
