Anna & Harper at the Pool

Harper loves going to the pool with her sweet friend Anna.  They usually spend more time out of the pool than in the pool.  Here they are sharing a bag of chips.

Anna tried to teach Harper her new dance.

Here are a few videos of the girls dancing. 

Hawaiian Falls

Wednesday evening we packed up and headed out to Hawaiian Falls in The Colony.  Prestonwood rents out the park every Wednesday evening during the summer for it's members and guests.  The park was not crowded at all and we had a great time.

She loved pushing this big tube around the wave pool

Here are a few videos

One more.

I lied - just one more.

We had a great time enjoying a little more family time before daddy starts football!

Bye Bye Collin

I am so blessed to have such great mommy friends.  I love getting together with them and Harper loves playing with her friends.  We are so sad that Kelly and Collin are moving to Ft. Worth.  Hopefully we will still be able to see them occasionally. We got together last week at Chick Fila for one last lunch. Here's Anna, Kate, Harper, and Collin.

Here's the same group exactly one year before.  We didn't realize that we sat the kids in the same order until we went back and looked at the pics.


Moms and Kids! In a few short months we will have 8 kids between the 4 of us!

We will miss you Kelly and Collin!

Noelle's First Birthday Party

Yesterday, Harper and I made the trek over to Fort Worth to attend Noelle's first birthday party.  Noelle's mom, Amanda, and I have been friends since birth! We were born exactly two weeks apart!

Here's the birthday girl!


Noelle is not so sure about her cupcake

Trying to share some cake with her daddy.  I think I see a pattern here.

My little monkey likes to crawl on everything.

Amanda and I when we were young. Apparently, my mom was more concerned with taking this pic than helping poor Clint who just fell out of his swing!

Christmas 1983 I think.

Feeding the Dogs

Harper has really taken an interest in my parents two Golden Retrievers.  Mom taught her how to feed the dogs and now she wants to do it all the time!

Telling the dogs to "move - move" so she can pour more food in the bowl.

Washing her hands with Papa after she is finished.

I love watching Harper learn and explore the little things in life!

4th of July Parade

We all enjoyed watching the 4th of July parade in Paris on Saturday. We met up with our good friends Travis & Amanda at the parade.  Amanda and I have known each other forever and they were back in town visiting her family for the Holiday weekend.  Noelle and Harper enjoyed playing with each other at the parade.

Dad and Great Grandma Jane waiting for the parade to start

Harper loved waving to everyone in the parade.

Only in Paris would you find this in the parade!

Amanda and Harper

Seeing the marching band brought back some high school memories!

Clapping for the band

I didn't know that you could ride a longhorn!!

Baby swap!

Silly family pic

Washing the car

My dad has enjoyed being off this weekend.  He and Harper washed all of the cars today.  Harper was a big help.




Not a big fan of soap on her hands.

Scrubbing the wheels

Proud of a job well done.
