A little of this and a whole lot of that!

I am going to try and catch up on this so just stay with me here. 

On July 4th Adlee and I headed to New Braunfels for a week while Jerred went on mission trip.  We did not dare go on a 8 hour trip (I guess 7 and a half hours if Mark is driving) without help, so Adlee and I rode with my mom.  Mark and his family tagged along too.  Actually it was all Teresa’s plan, we crashed their vacation.  Anyway, what happens when Mark’s kids are in one car and Honey and Adlee are in the other?!?! 

I can’t complain, they were all good!  For the 4th we went to my cousins house there and watched the city’s fireworks from his house!  Adlee enjoyed her first firework show, but was VERY tired!!  Please ignore me I had been in the car all day with 4 kids. 

Here is Lydia with my cousin’s daughter Abbie.  They love each other tons and are definitely trouble!! Here they are the next morning in church.  I am pretty sure that right after this picture they got in trouble.

Yes, they are dressed alike.  I made the 4 cousins dresses to wear to church together!!  The girls wore them well and made people think I did better than I did!  The 1st cousin pic:

 

And all the girls, how big does Adlee look?!?!

And Grandmommie with all her great babies, minus the twins…but they should be here soon!!!!!  Brooke, we are all VERY excited in Oklahoma!!!

Now is when the vacationing started.  However, all Adlee and me did was swim and until I get time to crop out my whiteness you will not see those pictures.  One day while the others went to seaworld in 110 heat, we stayed home and

slept.  Love this picture more than words can express!! I love both of my Grandma’s so much and it is special that Adlee gets to love them as much as me!!!  Sorry Grandmommie, I am sure I will get in trouble for having this picture on here, but hey at least you have on lipstick!! 

After New Braunfels, Adlee and I headed off by ourselves to meet up with the youth group.  We got to spend time with them at the mall and go to a baseball game.  Sparky, Sarah and Riley met us up there and we had so much fun with them!!

That night Adlee got an up close firework show!! She was again exhausted and not sure how to feel at first, but she ended up watching it all without making a noise!!

And that is our trips in pictures!!  I never showed you all one of Jerred’s fabulous father’s day presents.  Check his shirt!!

It says “World’s Best Dad” and has their picture on it.  Adlee gets so fascinated with it when he wears it.  It is pretty funny!

And I am sure you have all thought at this point, “Hey Brook, didn’t Adlee just turn 8 months???  Aren’t you going to post about that???'”

Well, you betcha!!!  She was 8 months 2 days ago.  We are still rolling as a mode of transportation, she talks ALL time, she points at books when you read it, she tries really hard to wave, she kind of sings when you do, she laughs a LOT, and she is still the best baby ever!!! Oh and…

look real close!!  There is a tooth on top, oh and 2 on the bottom!!  I cannot explain how much fun the last 8 months have been with this girl.  She has such personality and we LOVE her!!!  Don’t you just want to pinch and kiss those cheeks!
