McKinney Falls

2nd week of summer is done is so is our second water hole visit.  We even talked a few friend into joining us for the day!  For the first time we enjoyed the lower falls over the upper falls.  Maybe it was the busload of 75 kids at the upper falls!

Bull Creek

Summer is in full swing now and time to start visiting our favorite water holes.  Nothing is better than watching a dog have just as much fun as the kids.  Until today, I did not know that dogs could dive to the bottom while swimming!  This one has decided to give up on squirrels (has yet to catch one) and try for turtles.  It was the funnies thing ever!

LOVE Bull Creek!!

National Trails Day

Another day of service...keeping ATX gorgeous!  A great park with an even greater history!  

"In 1881 the original capital building burned to the ground; only a pile of ashes remained. Officials decided the building must be reconstructed, of limestone, in a grand fashion. A spot south of town, Oatmanville (to be renamed Oak Hill) was negotiated as a quarry site, to which a railroad spur was built. The labor was supplied by the State of Texas. Convict Hill got its name because 8 convicts died while quarrying limestone between 1882 and 1885."

MeWe 2014

This group keeps growing and growing...add another kid and 2 dogs and 2 years later we are still having a blast!  Camping, obstacle races, s'mores, bubbles, fishing, snake hunting, kayak races, etc.  The long weekend was perfect and we left just in time for the rain!

Kitchen Redo

As if the spring is not busy enough with sports, work, end of year activities, etc.  I decided to redo the kitchen. Less than 2 months later we are done and it looks gorgeous!

From a different view...

Spring Sports

 This was the year our boys were able to play on the same baseball team.  It makes life MUCH easier for us.  The Phillies had an amazing season, went into the tournament as first seed.  Unfortunately they did not place but they had a great spring.

And Fran is trying out swim team this year.  After only 2 meets she has shaved over 10 secs off of each stroke and has fallen in love with the sport!

Mother's Day

So happy to be a mom to these BEAUTIFUL children!
