Summer lovin'

Did anyone else just have a mini heart attack because we are already in the middle of JUNE 2015?!? Seriously, the days keep running together and passing so quickly. We are about to have a 9 month old princess and a 6 year old! I cannot believe the kindergarten school year has come and gone and we are already almost 1/2 through summer.

E is 8 1/2 months and will be 9months on the 24th. She is eating solids and only prefers fruits!! We've tried the green beans, veggies, and carrots and she's NOT having it. What a weirdo. She also has a thing with texture. If it's thick it takes her longer to swallow and she makes a face...great. She's finally sleeping through the night again. With her ear infection and popping out 2 more teeth, those last couple of months were rough on her. She now has 5 teeth, 3 on top and 2 on bottom. She is army crawling like a mad woman, occasionally getting up on her hands and knees. She likes rocking back and forth and squeals 90% of the day. She is truly the PERFECT addition to our family. It's like God knew what he was doing ;)
It's amazing to see the relationship between her and Hudson. He is so sweet with her (sometimes) he can be a little rough other times. But he lights up the room and makes her giggle like no one else. I hope they continue this sweet relationship. He's at day camp at the YMCA (it's wonderful having them at the same place for summer!!!!) He's been getting in to trouble a little more often than he should. He's got an attitude the size of TEXAS and he is strong willed as ever. His listening ears must be clogged lately because I find myself repeating almost everything at least 3 times. GRRRR. We'll go a few days and he is wonderful, then BAM one day he doesn't listen for shit. So we've started taking things and privileges away, so far that's been helping. Thank you baby Jesus!
E turned 8 months at lake LBJ. We celebrated Memorial Day with Ciji and her family and brought the camper! Had a wonderful weekend despite it raining almost the whole time. E had a great first time at the lake. Hudson was also 8 months when we took him to the lake for the first time!
                                                   He was pissed, hated the life jacket


We'll be taking a family trip to JellyStone (wine country, SCORE) in Fredericksburg for his 6th birthday. I'm already over the big birthday bashes and want to just celebrate with close friends and family! Well...maybe except for E's first birthday...which I guess I should start planning now!
We'll actually be out of the country for hers celebrating my beautiful cousin getting married in CANADA. Which reminds me, I need to get everyone passports, joy.

I just returned from a much needed girls trip and I had the best time. We seem to flock to the river for our girls trips. We were there 3 years ago so we decided to go again. We have girls coming from west Texas, Austin, Houston and DFW. This group of girls and I have been friends for 8+ years some of then for 15 years. I met them when I moved to College Station and we've been friends ever since. They are truly amazing. We had the most relaxing fun filled time!
                                                Love you ladies!! Until next year, xoxo
