Great-Pa and Gamma

My mom came to town on Sunday after spending a few days with my grandmother and my aunts in New Mexico. So we loaded up our car and visited my other grandparents in Abilene for a night. It was so great to see Great-Pa and Gamma!

Great-Pa taking Aidan for a ride on the trail wagon. I love how Aidan is looking at his great-grandfather :)

Water hose fight! For some reason Avery opted not to participate.

Our Version of a Rain Dance

We had a "cold front" of 90 degrees one afternoon last week, and it even looked like it might rain! So I figured that getting a huge outdoor project going was a surefire way to end this crazy drought we've been having. It wasn't, but at least the kids had fun :) And it did rain a couple days later!

Here are some pics from my phone...I put a lot on Facebook but never really thought to post them here!

Fun with potty-training :)

Being sweet:

Avery getting her first pedicure at the salon! She's gotten a couple more since then...it always chips off after a week or so, but I love that it's so cheap and it's a treat for her!

Waco and Crawford

We drove down to Central Texas for the weekend to see some family and friends! We swam at Grandpa and Nanna's in Crawford, and visited their horses. Then on Saturday we headed to Waco to hang out with the Brookses. We swam at their country club and went to church with them in the morning. Waco is filled with so many memories for us and I love that we get to make more with our kids!
