Bunco & BBQ

Yesterday we had a BBQ at our house with our new Neighbors and friends. Josh actually went to high school with Ashley, so they are old friends. We have tons of fun with each other.

We have a fire pit in our backyard that we finally used to make smores.

The kids watched Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3D

Last Thursday I hosted Bunco night. My amazing husband took the kids to the ranch, so us girls could really enjoy ourselves, and we did!

Fun & Sun at the Frio

Another failed attempt at a great family picture, I know one of these days the kids will pose and smile for the camera, We did the July 4th parade in my Dad's old 41 chevy truck.

We have a tradition of painting tubes, and these are this years

We saw tons of beautiful deer and this is one of the bucks, my parents feed them so they hang around alot waiting for more corn

Boating with the Kloesel's

Now that we are so close to the lake and both of the boys are a little older it is easier to make a trip out to the lake. A few weeks ago, we went with our good friends the Kloesels. We all had a great time!

We fed the ducks
We cruised, in deep thought

Some of us napped

Of course Brody wanted to drive
