Okay, it is a little early for the
100+ degree days that we've been having and I am wanting to move to Alaska and join the
Ice Road Truckers right now but we have managed to survive thus far. Today was only going to be around 95 so I decided I better mow today because I don't think people will be able to find our house if we wait for it to be any cooler! But that is so boring. Here's what we've been up to!
Leah went on the boat for the first time on Friday. She screamed for the first 30 minutes. Brian was a little concerned since he would live on a boat if I let him! Let me just say, the first trip with all of us was definitely a low point in our family experiences. However, at least we can't get any worse!

Once Leah finally got her sea legs, oh yeah, and I nursed her, gave her dinner and nursed her again, she was great! Brian and I mutually agreed that we will not be taking her with us for awhile. She is a little too high maintenance for us!
We also had Bailey, our black lab, with us. That was fun especially since she is not fond of water but wanted to tag along. As you can see, she requires a life jacket as well!

A few weeks ago we bought a little pool for the backyard that the girls could play with since we don't have a neighborhood pool anymore. The girls have had such a blast with it and Leah loves being able to crawl in the water as the girls play! Michelle and Carolyn think it's fun to try and just miss her as they go down the slide. This requires a lot of supervision of Leah since she tends to start her trek across the pool right when they are going down!


We have had a very busy summer so far, we've been to the beach in South Padre, to Houston to visit Grandpa and Ginner and then various VBS's around here. Anything to keep the girls entertained for the summer! It has been fun but I'm glad to have a little quiet time at home. Ha, ha, ha. I mean, we are at home and I'm kind of getting things done. There is definitely no quiet!

One more thing, this is one of my favorite new pics. Brian and Carolyn on the beach at SPI. So cute!
