SUM, SUM...SUMMER TIME!!!

One thing I must say about our sum, sum,

summer time 2011 is that

THIS boy is growing UP...........

WAAAAY TOO FAST for this mama!!! ;(

Walker is ALL about having

friends over or going to friends' houses.

Colton & Walker are great buds...

Can't get enough of Jonah...

they have been friends since before Pre-K!

This day they were playing baseball

outside in the 102 degree temps...

Red Rangers vs. Blue Rangers

I have the most wonderful Mother-in-Law!

She is ALWAYS there for us and she

has a HEART of GOLD!!!!!!!!

We love when Mamaw comes over....

Mamaw has had both of her knees
replaced recently and she has been a
ROCK STAR patient!  We are so proud
 of her and thankful for her awesome
new knees!  We say YAY for Mamaw.....

 T-dawg and I had a fun night out

going to the Cattle Baron's Ball
on July 23rd.........

this is the American Cancer Society's
incredible benefit!  Troy is a volunteer

for it and I love that!!!  Someday
when my kids are bigger,
I will also help with it! :)
Plus it's such a fun date
night with my hot hubby
and one time a year when we hook
up with our Cattle Baron's friends...
(and miss LV :( so much!!!)

 Uh, hello PHOTO BOOTH! 
This was a new treat at CB:)))))
One that I loved....

Sweet Alyssa babysat the kids for us.
She was Trav's very special friend
that he was "talking to" at the time
of his accident.  She is such an
amazing young lady and we've come to
love her so dearly.  Troy and I always
stress over how the kids are and so
one time I told Troy to check Facebook
because Alyssa loves to post pics...
Voila!  She had already posted
this pic of "Happy Hudson"...

 And this one, too!  Our minds were
certainly put to ease!:)))
Speaking of Trav, at CB I went up
to the bar to order a drink
(thank Goodness it was a coke!)
and the lady said, "Hey I know you...
aren't you Aunt Mindy?  As in
Travis' Aunt Mindy?"!!!!!!

 Alyssa even posted this pic the
next day to show me that the "Storm"
 really was so easy to take care of!
Yeah right!!!

When we got home that night,
I realized that I had not really taken
any pictures of my dress OR the
feather earrings that Lynna had insisted
that I borrow and wear!!!
She would have killed me had I not
sent her pics of me in those things;)))) 

Troy was CRACKING up at me

taking these self-portraits for Lynna!
I didn't like the picture he took for me,
but he's not into re-takes;)))

And one of the dress, too!!!  ha!

Lynna appreciated  AND understood

these pics taken after midnight VERY much;)

One afternoon when Colton and Whitt

were over, the guys were playing outside

and came RUNNING in because

Walker had gotten stung by a red wasp

on his thumb.  I cannot EVEN count the

number of times that this kid came around

the corner the next few days with this on his

hand to say, "Mom, do you think

my thumb is infected?!?"

Oh that kid!!!  I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!

One of my dear friends from high school

Amy Cloud Hobart was in town

from D.C. with her PRECIOUS
new twin baby loves!!!

This little man just melted in my arms...

I was loving me some Baby Robert!

How about this adorable little thing!?!

Hattie:)))

The more the merrier!!!

Troy never knows who all he is going

to find when he gets home in the evening!

I hope it's always like this:)
In fact, Troy always makes everyone
come and hug him just like Walker,
Haddie and Hudson do when
he walks in the door!

Co Co sent me this pic to make my day

on July 25th...the one year anniverary of

Superman's wreck!!!  SUPER BABIES:)))

Baseball Fever in the Summer, tooooooo!

They let Haddie have five strikes;)

"Buzz Kill" just wanted to keep getting a turn!

How hilarious is it that Walker sometimes calls

Hudson, "BUZZ KILL"!  Perfect nickname

for a little brother!;)))

Walker has never lacked in passion

for the things he loves...

this day it was a Ranger hat,

Ranger shirt, and a Ranger jersey!!!
He liked how the jersey says,

"Texas" and then he opens it

for the shirt to say,

"Rangers"!!!!!!!!!!

Walker is still VERY much into LEGOS...

Mainly Star Wars and Ninjago...

he builds and builds

and loves to take pictures of his creations!

We love our Barkley playdates!

They are quite different these days...

Hudson does NOT want me to hold the babies!

He LOVES them like crazy...but NOT for

mommy to hold them!  So, I'm not much

help for CoCo!!! 

(Good thing he's my last baby...

Walker & Hadlee loved for me

to hold other babies!)

Kelli and I were loving our little "H" men

in their blue polo suits...so handsome!

 I was determined to get a picture...

they were NOT having it!!!

I love this pic because Hank is like,

"Dude, you are taking this way too far."

So I moved onto the fuss-free,

sweet girls instead.........

NEVER any drama with girls!!!  ;)))))

I love me some SUm, SUm, SUMMer TIME!
