bloys, 2010

The rest of Camp Meeting was spent with fantastic family time, worship, and mostly relaxing.  Billy was able to take Grey up the mountain several times.  Grey enjoyed playing with his friends and cousins.  We went to the McDonald Observatory and had fantastic star gazing this year.  I think this year was one of the best for the stars!!  It’s always so nice to catch up with folks we’ve known forever and rarely get to see.  I always leave Bloys with a bittersweet feeling.  It’s so nice to know I’ll be back next year!  Anyway, on to the picture overload!!

bubbles bubbles everywhere

The day after we arrived at Camp Meeting my mom broke out the greatest toys of the week…bubbles!!!  The kids had a blast playing with these. 

On the road!

We are on our way to our annual family trip in the Davis Mountains out in west Texas. We are so excited to have the week off, great time with family, and fellowship with life long friends.

We stopped along the way for a picnic at Balmorhea State Park. It has a huge spring fed pool, but we just had a short time so stayed by the springs to eat. Grey "fell" into the water ;o). Silly boy. But he had a good time and it's a great place to stop and stretch your legs!



Grey in the COLD spring water!


Ella enjoyed running around.

This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing the Harper family.  Christina and Ty have an amazing little 2 month old!  This boy is soooo strong.  I was awestruck at how long he could hold his little head up and how he was rolling all over the place!  At 2 months!!  That is just amazing!  My advice for them was to tie him down!  He has the sweetest disposition and was just such a trooper as we carted him around and requested sweet smiles.  Guys, I hope you love your pictures!  Although, Christina, I think we need to meet again and get that Aggie picture!  :o)

Paisley

This past weekend we were in Kansas for a funeral.  One of Billys cousins was tragically killed in a car accident.  She was 20 yrs old, full of life, and absolutely beautiful inside and out.  For some reason, family tends to get together the most for funerals and weddings.  And this was no exception.  Despite the horrid reasons for the gathering, it was wonderful to see family we haven’t seen in years.  Another of Billys cousins had just had her baby girl, Paisley.  Paisley is the sweetest, easiest baby.  She slept everywhere, never heard a peep from her and was just over all the most snuggly, lovely baby.  She had a head full of the blackest hair and just a sweet, sweet disposition!  Hope yall enjoy the pictures!!

July 4th

 

We went up to Kansas for the 4th of July.  It was an unexpected trip due to a funeral, but despite the awful circumstances, we had a great time.  The town we were in had a cute parade the kids enjoyed and we did an unbelievable amount of fireworks in the rain that evening!
