Texas cousin time

After a few days at the river, Kyle's brother and is family drove to the west side of the state to spend a few days with us. It was a great visit. The girls played in the tree house and woods, caught frogs (many frogs) and Wednesday we spent the day at the beach. So much fun together!

Allison's frog actually let her do this, over and over

Fourth of July Weekend 2016

Another great weekend at the river. (I realize this is an overwhelming number of photos, but really it's the best way for us to document our fun weekend with the cousins.) Until next year!!

Mani-Pedi

Or, wait…should I call it a "Granny-Pedi"??  Sorry, Mom. I couldn't help it! ;)

We invited my parents over for dinner Sunday night. While Kyle grilled kabobs, my mom and the girls painted their toenails. Super cute to watch the three of them.
