Lots and Lots of Summer Fun!

Now that Jordan is back to school and Brendan is back at Mother's Day Out it has hit me that summer is gone and fall is here.  We had such a great time this summer and got to visit all of our family.  

To start things off Brendan and I went to Lubbock to celebrate my mom and her twin brother's 60th Birthday!

On June 17th, Jonathan and and Carissa tied the knot in Texarkana!

Brendan found a date while we were there:

 

For The Fourth of July we went to see Jordan's family down in Hammond, LA.  This is Alton and Terri with Brendan on the 4th right before we headed home:

 Brendan got to show off his trike riding skills with his cousin, Samuel.:

 We also got to meet the newest addition to the family, Luke:

 Of course celebrating would not be complete without some time spent with the Jones Fam!  

We also made several trips to Shreveport and for our Anniversary Tom and Elizabeth kept Brendan for a week!  

Lobster Fest at The Shreveport Club... yum!

Brendan had tons of fun during his visit.

 Also, time with no kiddo means time for me to sew:

Since Jordan didn't have any classes this summer we crammed in as much fun as we could.  So, aside from getting to spend time with our families we also tried out some new stuff in Dallas.  I got pictures of a few of our events:

B saw his first movie in a theater: 

The "Creature Teacher" at Northpark Mall.  She brought all kinds of reptiles to show the kids.  Plus, they have music time... all for free!
