"Car Wash" video(s)

{June 2013}

Who Needs a Pool?!?

Summer in Texas is HOT...this summer really hasn't been the hottest, but we're definitely applying lots of sunscreen around here!
There have been some afternoons that the kids nap late & I've set up some water fun in the backyard. Who needs a pool when you have a trampoline with sprinkler under it?!? The kids call it a car wash!

I used sport setting on the camera & caught some action pictures of how fast they go.

Not sure about it...

He would finally go in, but I had to jump too!

Spelled & wrote out Lolly & Pop by herself. 

 Another "car wash" day.

 Water table & "car wash"

 Daddy came home & got himself soaked in his work clothes. :)

 Another day Jack was the only one ready to jump.

Family Beach Vacation 2013 {Our Family Beach Pics Attempt}

The last night we were in Florida we were at the Keenes for the shrimp broil. One of Monica's friends, Jess was sweet enough to come down to the beach & attempt to take our family pictures. One problem...Jackson Reid didn't want to cooperate, which leads to a tough family picture! She still managed to catch a few good ones & Emma Kate was such a champ!

My favs...

Daddy really trying to get Mr. Man in smiling mood. :)

 Yay a great one!!

 Not for long.

 Yay whole family smiling & looking!!

 Looks like a little angel to me!

Another beach angel!

Family Beach Vacation 2013 {Day 8/Day we made it home}

{Day 8} The day we finally made it home! Even though our flight got delayed we made it back to Dallas. :)

Thank goodness for an iPad & portable DVD player to pass time in a motel room.

More airport fun

Riding airport escalators can be a source of entertainment.

Playing on the "stage"

Happy to be HOME! All her babies listening to bedtime books.

Family Beach Vacation 2013 {Day 7/Trying to Get Home}

{Day 7} This day is known as the day we were "supposed to get home, but didn't!" Long story: flight "supposedly got cancelled" as we checked in at airport then we played & killed time for 8 hours with 2 kids, only to come back to the airport that evening to board the flight & the pilot say there was a broken part in the engine. We ended up at the Quality Inn in Niceville, Florida for the night with a worn out family of four.
Here are some pictures I snapped that day trying to waste time until the later flight.

At a big village place in SandDestin.

Playing at the airport...golf cart why not?!

Family Beach Vacation 2013 {Day 6}

{Day 6} Monday was our last day in 30A. We made the most of it; Emma Kate & I biked to Cowgirl Kitchen for breakfast together & biked back (6 miles roundtrip), then we did lots of swimming in the pool (the action shots below), went to lunch at the Food Trucks in Seaside, visited the beach one last time, & went over to the Keenes for their annual beach "shrimp broil". We stayed there late having fun!

Stayed with Dad at the condo for breakfast.

Big jump time

Flying EK!

They love swimming & jumping over & over!!

Belly flop?!?
