Summer's Trip to New Orleans

Summer had the best time at Nanny's. She spent a week doing tons of fun stuff.  They went to Storyland, The Aquarium, A swamp tour, and a Zephyr's game.  She cried when we left her and cried when we picked her up.  We are so glad she had the chance to do this.  She is already talking about next year and can't wait to go back.   Here are some pics Nanny took of their week. 

 

 



Summer Fun!!!!

We have had a great summer.  It has been fun and there is never a dull moment around here. Austin has been so funny and pushing us to the limit. The list could go on but his craziest moment has been stopping up the sink and flooding our bathroom!!! Summer keeps us busy with her stories and playtime and her side kick Luke hasn't missed a beat.  Right now Summer is in New Orleans and we miss her so much but  love all the memories she is making.

Here are a ton of pics of what we have been up to.

Food Truck Outing

We recently took Austin and Summer to eat at a food truck in the museum area.  Of course the day we went ABC was there filming their Stretch Your Dollar segment.  Summer is so shy and wanted to leave so she wouldn't be on TV.  It came on today and Summer was the only one in the family who ended up on the clip.  Love it!!!!

 

Check it out!

1:34 Is where you can find her. 

 

And the meal the guy prepared was ours-it was very good.   

Horse Camp

Last week Summer spent the week doing what she loves most!!!  The stables where she takes lessons had a week long camp from 9-3.  Each day they rode horses, made crafts and played in the water.  She had a blast. On the last day we were able to go and watch her ride.  Her new horse is Patches who Summer loves but she is still asking to ride her first love Moose. :) 

 

 



Lake Trip 2013

We just got back from our summer trip to the lake.  We spent the week relaxing, swimming and exploring.  Every year I say it was our best trip but man this year was too.  You never know with Austin and he did great!  We have the perfect set up for him to sleep in and he was ready for bed after all the walking and swimming he did.  Luke spent the days exploring in the yard and around the lake. Summer loved swimming.  And of course they both loved feeding all the deer. 

 

 

 

 

 

 This pic was too funny not to share I busted Luke standing on the coffee table with his gun between his legs watching TV. The second pic was his reaction when I took the pic.  And yes his wardrobe was either nothing or his bathing suit all week.  :)

 

 Chad and his friend got to enjoy a round of golf at the country club.

Luke turns 3!

This year we decided not to throw Luke a birthday party and I am glad we did since we found out he does not like the attention or hearing the song.  :) When Nanny and the gang were in town we had a cake and opened presents.  Luke hid during the cake. We went the weekend before his big day and played putt-putt. On his birthday he spent the day at Pa's house with Nanny Black.  (his second home) And this past weekend Grandma and Paw-Paw came out to party.  After 3 celebrations he finally got the hang of it. 

 

Here are some pics from all his celebrations. 

 

Water Slide with Isaac! 

 

A day of putt-putt!

 Fun with Grandma's chocolate cake that almost didn't survive the car ride.
