july

july was spent mostly at camp zephyr!! last year we went to help joey with the music...and this year, they asked andy to be the camp pastor along with joey doing the music. we love the camp more and more each year. they take great care of us...and its super fun for andy and joey to get to do ministry together. not to mention, no cooking, no laundry, no cleaning...and unlimited activities. inflatables, pool, pond, archery, snow cones, sling shots, gaga ball...and best of all tons of cousin time!!! hope this stays a yearly tradition!!

one day we were able to go spend the day at the beach. it was a super fun day for our family...we had lunch at the 2-story whataburger...which the boys just LOVED...and we parked along the side of the beach, and had a great time playing in the sand and ocean! 

this picture will probably go down in history as the cutest picture EVER of livi!!

june

june was filled with a lot...it started off summer with a bang! we love to keep busy, so it was nice to have lots going on...

started off with little ty-ty graduating from kindergarten! his first teacher was ms. lockhart...an amazing teacher for this kid!

then was randomness...andy's bday, park fun, bible times on the porch...

we had a few visitors...mom came, the boys had friends over, and even zach came to stay for a couple days with the boys!

when we took zach back, we got to spend the day with the mcclures...uncle dan came and hung out too...and taught tysen how to play chess...

we spent some time with the vanderveers too! used our passes at Hurricane Harbor with kyle, max, gra, and livi, got to see the kazee girls one day, and have dinner with ana, papaw and grammy!

family vacation

this year, since we had season passes to Six Flags...we decided to take a family vacation to san antonio and use our passes at Fiesta Texas!  It was SO fun...such a great day....and loving our good family time!

this was the boys first time eating a funnel cake! they were hooked.

i love these next two shots! this was their favorite ride...

our last night we splurged and had dinner at red robin, and then pazookis at bj's...

on the way home, we found a pizza place with an arcade to help break up the trip! a fun way to end our vacation!!!

costume time

logan's big 4th grade project was called "living statues"...they had to pick a historian, dress up, and then as parents came by, you had to give a speech on why your historian was famous. logan was nervous...he does not like attention like that. you can tell in this picture he is a little pale...and right after i took the picture...he said he needed some water...and that his eyes were blurry...and then, slowly began slumping over. of course, i was scolding him, telling him not to pretend like that...but quickly realized he wasn't pretending...and thankfully, andy was right there to catch him as he passed out. this is the second time he has passed out in school! so we decided to get him checked out and saw a cardiologist...he got a clean bill of health...some warnings about dehydration...and his favorite part was the doctor encouraging him to drink water and even Powerade! we have tried to make sure he stays hydrated so we don't continue to have these incidents...
