Happy birthday Dad and other July fun

Kate has become quite the fishing expert at Blackjack

We took a trip to Corpus Christi to celebrate Dad's birthday.  We toured the USS Lexington

Did some shopping for beach junk...

Stopped off at the Goliad mission

Fed birds at the beach

Back home.  The garage is done!!

Dad took a work trip to Banff in Canada.

And we stayed home and slept in his spot.

Corpus beach time

Kate wanted to paint LOVE on the bridge at Blackjack.  So we did.  Frisco watched.

Kate and Scarlett.  Snoopy in the background.

Kate and Luke went to Camp Lonestar in La Grange.  Here is crazy hair day.

Kate and I had the chance to babysit baby Claire Flack.  What a little beauty she is.

Staycation.  We went to the Bob Bullock Museum to learn about Texas.

Perry's birthday party

Shopping for new school shoes at Nordstrom.  They picked out the flashiest ones there.

More summer goodness

Dad got a waterproof phone case for Father's Day so now we can take underwater photos!

Blackjack mornings.....

Kate was finally ready to pierce her ears again, so we took a trip to the mall and after watching "The Secret Life of Pets" we headed to Claire's where she picked out ruby earrings and shed no tears.  

Success!

Mom and Dad went out on Lake Travis with the Philps and the Gaskamps and Dad showed off his skills.

Kate and Anna

Driving us in to Blackjack has become Luke's thing.

Fourth of July parade in Shiner

Sleepover fun with the Flacks.

Sweet little morning moment

Luke and Barley.  Wild boys.

We got another letter from CLH several weeks after the fact from our "lovely daughter".

Discovering hanging out on the roof at Gigi's house like Mom used to do.
