Elephant Parade

This is their plate to start with. It was amazing to watch them eat dinner. Wow, they have a major appetite. The clowns said they eat about 250 lbs. of food a day. That is a lot of food.








Tonight we went to the Elephant Parade by the Ring. Brothers. The kids loved it. We sat down at the end of the parade, where they fed the elephants dinner. The disney radio channel was there also and they were handing out prizes. Emma thought it was really neat because she got to get a poster of the Johnas brothers. OH MY GOODNESS, there are some girls that are crazy over those boys. They even know when they were born. Guess I am not uptodate with them.

Dallas Cowboy Stadium

Last Sunday we went to go see the new Dallas Cowboy stadium. We had lots of fun. Wow, what a place. It is huge inside. The only dissappointment was that we couldn't go in and see a suite. I really wanted to see what they looked like on the inside. We went to the bottom floor and looked in the proshop. WOW, they sure are proud of their materials. Emma tried the stuff on and thought it was fun to take pictures with it. We didn't buy anything.

I thought this was SWEET! One day we went and took Cole to have his pictures made. We left and were headed to go get a bite to eat. While they were walking across the street, they both decided to hold each other's hands. They aren't always sweet to each other, so I had to capture the moment.

Emma on the trampoline

We went to the mall to buy some glasses. While we were there, Emma found this place where you can jump on this huge trampoline. She begged to jump. So eventually we gave in. She had a blast, but man we are in the wrong business. They charge $7.00 for five minutes to jump. What a price. Oh well, she had a fun. That is all that matters. So here are some pictures that are attached.

Cole and his sister's shoes!

Cole loves to wear his sister's shoes. So one day he was running around in his night shirt and came out with her shoes. He wanted to pose for me as well. He thinks they are the best thing on this earth. I tease Josh all the time about his manhood, because his favorite color is pink. I think this is only because he has a big sister and thinks the world of her. So enjoy the picture. I love it!

Summer Fun

This is the crazy crew. We have had a great summer. It has flown by way to fast though. We are not ready for school to start, but oh well, here it comes. Only two weeks left before inservice starts. We have traveled to West Texas to pick up Emma. We got to see some friends from school while we were up there. It was a lot of fun.

We really haven't done much. We are currently living with my mom to save up some money for a house, that hopefully in three years I will be able to post about. We hope and pray anyways. So in the backyard we have a pool. The kids are loving it. Emma has learned how to swim with no life jacket or floaties. We are so proud of her. Then Cole wears his life jacket and swims everywhere. We have had a few friends over to swim with us. It is nice to have extra company around sometimes.

I took Emma to a place called Sweet and Sassy. Oh my goodness. I am in the wrong business. They charge and arm and a leg to just paint their toes and fingers and make them think that they are having a real pedicure. I was amazed at what they charge. Guess it is ok for a one time thing. I don't think we will be going back. I didn't take any pictures either. Totally forgot.

Josh and I got to enjoy some time away, it was just a night away in San Marcus, but it was a blast. It is so much fun to ride in a car with my husband, when I don't fall asleep on him. He will make you laugh and smile all the time. He is a great guy! We went to San Marcus and went back to school shopping. Oh my goodness, everybody in the world was down there. It was really busy, but we got some amazing deals. It was also nice to get away from the kiddos for a little while. We did miss them terribly. Emma appreciated us a little more when we got back.

Now we are trying to get ready for school. I moved schools this year. Awaiting a new adventure. I am ready. I prayed that God would open a new door this year since Emma starts school and he did. God does some amazing things in our lives. I let too much time go by where I don't thank him for what he does for us. So we are venturing to new stomping grounds and we are READY!

Can't believe our baby starts school. She is not old enough yet in our minds, but guess she is. I got tears in my eyes the other night when I was talking with my mom about her first day of school. Not too sure how it is going to work, especially since both Josh and I have classrooms ourselves. Guess this is where my mom comes in. What a blessing it is to have her around.

Hope everyone has a great rest of the summer!

We had a blast swimming with the whole family. All of mom's family came over for Aunt Debbies's birthday. We had a blast. Everyone swam and then mom grilled chicken. She did a fabulous job. Thanks everyone for all the yummy food. Then that evening we went to the park and watched fireworks. They were really good. The kids had fun.
