What I've been up to...

I've been doing so much fun stuff lately that I haven't had time to post on the blog. But here are pictures from a few of our adventures lately.

Nico went caving with us at Wonder World.
Robert got expensive new glasses. (Check the brand on the side. They're Burberry. Lol.) We all fed the deer at Wonder World. (That's Ella's hand.) We saw this baby deer at Wonder World, too. Nico got cuter and cuter every day. And cuter. And cuter.

Ella got sillier and sillier every day.

And sillier. And sillier. (She gets that from her Aunt Lisa.) I saw some pretty cool fireworks with Mom and Dad in Bastrop on July 3rd. The show wasn't very long, but it seemed like everyone in Bastrop showed up to watch. I hung out with Trudy's family at the farm on July 4th. Nico showed off his crazy face.

Then Trudy and Nico decided to pose for me.

We all swam in the kiddie pool. Ella and Egan really loved it. (You can see it in the background of this picture.) We shot off fireworks in a big parking lot. And Nico slept right through most of it. Even when my flash went off in his face.

Dijar was the fireworks coordinator, and we all just sat and watched the show.

We all enjoyed the extra large sparklers. The kiddos...

...and the adults.

Christin and her kiddos came over for a play date last week. Daniel really enjoyed this photo shoot. Egan was mean mugging me. But he made up for it with this sweet smile.

Ari and Ella posed for me.

And Daniel just kept smiling for the camera. I even got Robert to pose for a few minutes. Last Saturday, Mom, Dad, and I went out to dinner with Christin's family, then all went out to the Quicksand Farm Squaredance afterwards, where we met up with Becky and Dustin, Trudy's family, and a couple hundred other people. Daniel was still grinning.

Becky and Ella smiled sweetly for me.

And made crazy faces just for Aunt Lisa. Becky couldn't resist Daniel's cute smile, either. Ella took this nice picture of Becky. She is one talented 4 year old photographer.And of course, another crazy face from Ella.

I hope everyone else has been having as much fun as I have! Enjoy the pictures.

And even more...
