Boot Ranch

We spent a couple of days outside of Fredericksburg, TX at Boot Ranch.  It was amazing!!!  I love the Hill Country.  It is beautiful!  This was the view from our patio...






Overlooking the golf course...




Parker, Carter, Lonnie, and Robby...



I went for a run while I was there.  I was BRUTAL but beautiful!



They had all these plants that attracted butterflies.  This picture doesn't do it justice but there were TONS of butterflies everywhere.  Kate and Brynlee would have LOVED it!



The Hamilton crew... minus the kiddos.




Carter and Ginny...


Katie and Robby...



Parker and me...












On the way home we drove through Hamilton, TX.  This is where Parker's great grandparents lived.  He used to visit here when he was little...



Such a great weekend away!

18 months - Camryn



 Our baby girl is 18 months!  

She is sweet, feisty, cuddly, tough, sensitive, and full of joy.  She is talking more and more every day.  The girls play this game with her where they try to get her to repeat what they say...from doggy to disney world to apple to bonky head.  And she tries to say what they say.  Some new words she says are "Nana" (Anna) and "l-SA" (Elsa) from Frozen.  She also says "Daisy" (Brynlee's cat) and teeth when she wants to brush her teeth. 

If they are coloring, she wants to color.  If they are doing stickers, she wants to also.  The days of distracting her are over.  If they are outside, she wants to be outside.  She has opinions and lets you know...mostly by screaming...what she wants!  She does not want to be left out.

When I do her hair, she says, "bow" until I put one in...but she usually has it pulled out within a few minutes.  

She is still a good eater and sleeper and can go with the flow for the most part.  
 We love you Camryn!  Happy 18 months!


She had a great 18 months appointment.  She is talking great and healthy!!!  And she is growing like crazy!  She was up 3 lbs and 2 inches since her 15 month appt. 

Camryn's 18 month stats:
Weight:  26 lbs 12 oz (90%)
Height:  33.3 inches (90%)


Brynlee was 26 lbs 7 oz and 32.5 inches.
Kate was 29 lbs 7 oz and 33.3 inches.

Looks like she might be tall like Kate!!!

Girls Weekend!



We had a girls weekend at the lake last weekend.  We were really looking forward to tubing and laying out but thanks to crazy Texas weather it was a crazy 60-70 degrees outside.  It felt like October.  We still took the boat out a few times...


and the seadoo...



Joanna and I both wore our fleeces.  It was pretty chilly...







Saturday night we made a fire and made s'mores...


Then we took the boat out one last time (this time with blankets) and we still froze!  The weather was crazy but it was a fun getaway!

Sweet Summertime!



Summer is flying by.  I can't believe it is already mid July. 


Last Wednesday I took Kate and Brynlee to Hawaiian Falls.  They loved it!


Brynlee, Stella, Kate, and Pierce...


Then JuJu came Thursday. 





The girls put on a show for her...


Kate at gymnastics...


Saturday morning dress up...


Camryn's 1st time to dress up.  This dress has seen better days!

Making Chocolate Chip Pound Cake...




Monday morning we went to the park.  Kate can be so sweet and protective, especially of Camryn.  These pictures capture that.  Love watching them play...












Monday afternoon a crazy storm came through and knocked part of our fence down. 


Camryn.  I feel like she is so big all of the sudden. 


Kate has started writing us notes.  So sweet!
