Okay, I am not even going to go into how long it has been since the last time I made a post!  We all know it has been a ridiculously long time and for those who have not seen the kids in a while will probably barely recognize them!  We visited Waco a few weeks ago and had fun with our friends - and their super cool little Mercedes!

  We have also had fun swimming this summer.  It is so nice to have a pool right in the backyard.  We get very spoiled and swim for hours some days and only minutes other days.  Come visit and swim with us!

Summer Fun

 What a fun summer this has already been.  We have had some pretty hot days, but have been fortunate to have some cooler ones as well and the wind makes the nights by the pool really nice.  The first picture is the girls at a traveling petting zoo in a local park.  The next is one of each of them on the 4th of July. We had a good time on the 4th playing outside and hanging out around the pool - thanks to the cloud cover!  Taelyn loves sparklers and watching the fireworks.  Unfortunately, Brie didn't get to see the fireworks.  She had a long day and was fast asleep by 7pm!

Pool is done -come visit!

The pool is done and we have been enjoying it tremendously over the past week or two.  Taelyn fights us every time we tell her it is time to get out and it is amazing to see how quickly she is picking up new swimming skills. Brie enjoys it too, but not as much yet.  She like swim, but she is good after only about 15 mins.  Luckily for us, she likes to be outside and can't get into too much trouble in the backyard, especially if we give her a snack!

Putting in a Pool

Pretty incredible to see this monster pool up on a crane being lifted over the tallest trees and even your house to get to a hole in the backyard!  I have uploaded the video of this wild feat.  We are pretty excited that the pool is getting installed this week.  We had originally been told it would be mid-July when we signed the deal back in April!  We got a call last Friday that they wanted to start Monday, so we were running around trying to get everything in place, when we thought we had another month.  Couldn't be happier and things are progressing smoothly.  By this time next week we will be swimming and enjoying the long, hot Texas summer!  Come for a visit and join us!
