lake texoma.

we loaded up our new/old popup and headed to the lake with Annie and our nephew Patrick last weekend and it was amazing. the weather was perfect. we found the perfect campsite, not to close to the water but could still feel it and smell the lake water. there was a nice breeze that ran through the site with cool breeze from the water. the site was really shaded and had tons of rocks (of all sizes) that the kids loved. give those kids some rocks and they will be happy for hours..or days.

we went to juniper point east camping area, near whitesboro. about two hours from home but we were all still ready to be there at get set up!

 

this was Friday...I hope you enjoyed. Saturday to come soon.

these two.

these two are something else. the love between a father and daughter is so special. she loves his beard, to boss him around, and play ruff. he takes it all like a champ. i love you two.

july 2013.

since I left this space so silent for so long i'll do a little catch up in pictures. july started with annie getting a trampoline (awesome craigslist find). she loves it. we did work in the backyard (shoveled around 7 tons of gravel into the backyard...ryan and i on a very hot Saturday morning). we've been attacked by grasshoppers. they are getting better but are still everywhere! annie is not a fan. we also had a few rain showers and cooler temps which make us all happy. not pictured is my birthday! i turned 28 and got to celebrate at my cousins wedding. it was wonderful and i feel so blessed to have made it to 28 and have such wonderful family and friends.

 

 now we look forward to august. camping trips (we bought a pop up and i can't wait to share more), more birthdays (ryan turns 30!!), wedding, and much more!

Settling in.

We have now been in the new house for a little over a month and we are starting to get settled in.

Cheesy I know..but I have few pictures of us together so every once in awhile I have to bust out the self timer..

She love her capri suns!
