I was really looking forward to this summer. What with me not being pregnant with ankles the size of my thighs and Evan taking a nice, long break from school, I was giddy with thoughts of summer bliss. Now for the reality check. Since Colton went to all day kindergarten pretty much as soon as I had Delaney, this summer was the first time I'd had both boys home all the live long day. Let it be written that we've seen our fair share of havoc and some serious, costly destruction. Factor in Evan being the busiest he's ever been in his career and there went my scrapbook moments. Of course, there have been good times this summer, even great ones, so here's a little recap of some of them.
I was expecting my birthday to be a pretty normal day. Changing diapers, making lunches, gorging on cake and ice cream. Evan pulled through though and planned a great date to the city. I've been telling him for a couple of years that I want to take an architectural tour of the city. Here we are on the boat ride getting an awesome view of the Sears Tower (I know it's the Willis now but it will forever live on as the Sears Tower in my heart). The tour was just as good as I thought it'd be and double bonus points for Evan proving once again that he really does listen when I talk. We capped the day off with dinner on Michigan Avenue and a cookie cake all for me.
Well...a cookie cake all for me and these three hooligans. A successful 31st birthday that I got to share with my favorite people.
We celebrated the 4th with some steak and ribs. How's that for ringing in Independence Day Texas style, not to mention my patriotic cake.
Going to the pool with this girl. Oh melt my heart, I can't handle it. I think I might have kissed Delaney 5,349 times this night. Her chunky thighs in her pink swimsuit with that hat is something I always want to remember. I love her too stinking much.
T-ball with Colton. This picture pretty much sums up the season. He was beyond excited every time he had a game and loves that trophy something fierce. Also, take a moment if you will and compare this grass to the stuff in Cade's bday pics. Hello, drought! And hello, awesome mom and siblings sitting in the 100 degree weather watching Colt play!
Finally, a picture of this sweet little lady because that bottom is just too darn much and this blog can't have too many pictures of her.
