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!
We went are spending a lot of time at the pool so far this summer. The kids are doing great. Ella is much more cautious than Grey was at this age. But, she has a lot of fun and is not scared of the water at all. Grey is a little fish. He can swim really well and loves playing with the kids at the pool.

I was soooo excited and glad that I participated in Taylor Jackson with Barefeet Photography’s photo workshop. It was a fabulous time! We had some fun models, learned a lot, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! I am hoping that she will do another workshop, because I’ve got more to learn and she was an excellent instructor! I went to Cleburne with my friend Christy and we stayed at The Liberty Hotel. We had a great time having some grown up girl time away from our kiddos. Can’t you tell by the picture below?????
I can not believe Kindergarten is over!!! It seems just like yesterday that he went for his first day! Grey did well this year, but honestly he isn’t a huge fan of school. I feel like I did a huge disservice to him by not putting him in a program 5 days a week. We don’t have the option for half day kinder out here and I just worry they push the children entirely too hard. Grey loved his teacher and he did learn so much, and we hope to keep his brain active this summer so he doesn’t lose all that wonderful information Mrs. Jenkins helped him learn. Grey really was blessed with a fantastic teacher. We could not have asked for anyone better suited for Grey!
For our anniversary, Billy and I went on a kid free weekend to San Antonio. We stayed at an amazing hotel, The Hotel Contessa. Our room was fabulous. We had the most wonderful time, just hanging out and relaxing. We ate at great restaurants, got massages, mani/pedis, slept in, spent time at the pool. We took a long drive down to San Antonio and stopped at EVERY. SINGLE. OUTLET MALL!!! It was so fun to just look around and look as long as we wanted with no tugging on the arm and no tantrums. Fun! We had a fantastic lunch at The Gristmill in Gruene. Such a neat town! Then we checked in to our hotel and had dinner there and met a friend I used to work with there. It was great to catch up with El and see her again! On Saturday we had our massages and mani/pedi’s. Spa day!!! Awesomeness! We had a wonderful lunch at Landrys on the Riverwalk, and unfortunately were witnesses to a cruel bird murder! On Saturday night we went down to the Market and had a great dinner at Mi Tierra. It was soooo yummy. Sunday was another day of relaxation. We spent some time at the roof top pool at the hotel, walked around the Riverwalk again, had a great Italian lunch. We ended up going back to Gruene to meet our friends El and Robin again. It was a wonderful weekend. We had so much fun getting to be Billy and Amber again instead of Mommy and Daddy. A huge thank you goes to Gramma Dee and Grampa Mark for watching the kids and dogs. We loved our weekend!
I had a photo shoot down at the Stockyards this weekend. While I did the photo shoot, Billy took the kids to ride on the train, and then we enjoyed some family time together for the rest of the afternoon. We had a great time walking around, eating yummy food, and Grey loved the mechanical bull. That boy. He’s going to want to be a bull rider if I’m not careful!
Well, another soccer season has come and gone. The game has started to “click” with Grey and he is consistently scoring a few goals each game. He still gets worn down pretty quick, but I think over all he enjoys the game a lot. Or, at least I hope he does!!! At the end of the season we had a pool party at one of the boys houses and each boy got a trophy. The kids had a blast and it was so much fun! We are looking forward to next season starting up again!
