Summer Fun!

Here are some random pictures of things we have been up to this summer since we got home from the beach...

This weekend Mom came over from Lake Charles so we could shop! We found rugs and fabric, we hung a few things on the walls, and I am super excited to see all the changes in the house! Sunday afternoon we went over to her friend's house for some good food and swimming fun. The kids loved it, and Ms. Kim showed me how to recover my chairs. Yay!

Here is one of the chairs. It looks better in person, but it is much better than the stained cushions that are underneath!

Anna and Sam thought this was the baby pool, and had fun swimming and playing in their own little area. They are too funny!

We have been hanging stuff on our bare walls...
I found fabric to have curtains made for the kitchen...

Anna has been LOVING her princess dance class. This is her in the Ariel costume she wears for ballet and tap. Next we are going to take the Tinkerbell class.

Since Aunt Jessie has been off this summer the kids are getting to spend extra time with their "Essie". So far it has been a good summer. I am a little ready for both of the kids to go back to school, but I am loving all of the fun things we are doing together!

Beach!

Last week we went on our family vacation to Gulf Shores, AL. We had a blast and did NOT want to come home! These pictures are out of order, but I thought it appropriate to start with our best family photo. Go ahead and zoom in. It's priceless :)

Daddy and Anna flying a kite. Anna got to hold the string, she loved it!

The state park about four miles down was on fire for the first few days we were there. This was a picture of it when it was "under control". I wasn't so sure!

Anna had her goggles and was ready to swim. She and Sam put on their floaties every day and swam their hearts out. They were little fish!
