And a few more summer fun photos

And some random good summer fun.

We went on a boat ride on Lake Austin with one of Daddy's clients and Uncle John.

We combined the trampoline with the water wiggle for double the fun.

This kid sleeps hard.

New goggles.

Back at Blackjack

It's been a little while since we have been to Blackjack, so it was fun to go back this weekend. We both shrieked "BLACKJACK" as we pulled through the gate.

The country will wear a person out.

Pool time.

Luke's first movie at the Schulenburg theater: Monsters University. He liked it.

Frisco came by to say hello.

And Kate made a new friend with a little heifer. Her name is "Silver Beauty". Pretty soon we are going to have a hard time selling any calves because they are all becoming pets.....

Luke has taken to calling her "Queso". She answers to anything as long as you have an apple in your hand.

4th of July

Here are a few photos from our 4th of July this year:

We decorated our bikes for a bike parade at school.

Lola, me and Taylor before the parade. These are my people.

Luke and his lady.

Luke's class waiting to get on their bikes.

And here we go!

Kate leads the pack.

Riding strong.

That night we went to Lost Creek CC.

We flipped.

And flipped some more.

I attempted rock climbing.

But this is as far as I got.

So back to rolling around on the golf course.

Fireworks! Kate loved them. Luke just covered his ears and snuggled with Mom.

The next day we drove our golf cart in the Westlake parade and then headed over to the Smith's for a pool party where we mowed the heck out of their patio.

And at cupcakes with Anna.

Happy 4th of July!!

Well somehow we captured all of our Father's Day prep and not one picture of us with Dad on Father's Day. (?) Well he had a great day. We gave him all of this great stuff and he watched lots of golf. Happy Father's Day to you, Daddy!!

A week without Mom and Dad

At the end of June, Mom and Dad went on a trip to Germany and Austria and we got to stay home with Gigi and Uncle John for the first few days and then Mama T and Daddy Bob for the last half. We missed them a lot but had our own kind of fun around here. Here are some of their pictures from their trip.

Here they are at the airport.

And here is Salzburg, Austria. It was Mom's favorite city.

Wait a minute. Bike riding in Munich? That looks like fun to us.

They had lots of schnitzel. Yummmmmm.

This is on a cobblestone street in Rudesheim outside of Frankfurt.

Mom in front of Neuschwanstein castle in Bavaria. It is the castle that inspired the Disney castle. Very cool.

A flower market in Salzburg. Mom's sniffing the Edelweiss.

Wine overlooking the Bavarian Alps.

Salzburg. Mom on a bench.

Here they are in St. Gilgen, Austria.

Swim lessons for Luke!

This week we have started swim lessons at Lost Creek and it is good fun (for Kate, Luke not so much). Our teacher is Olivia and she is so patient. Kate got to show off all that she knows (Olivia was impressed!) and Luke got to practice kicking after a few minutes of crying, crying, crying.
