PawPaw retirement dinner

On Tuesday night, we all met at Saltgrass for Pawpaw's retirement dinner.  Alex said he wanted everyone to wear orange that morning and somehow Mike got everyone to wear orange to the party, that is except Gram and PawPaw.  It was a fun night!  Happy retirement PawPaw!!

Cousins Beckham and Violet

Beckham and Violet are only 10 days apart and got to hang out with Lizzi and I on Monday.  The guys all went golfing, big kiddos were at sch ool, Aunt Kristin was at work and Gram also came and hung out with us.

After picking up the kiddos we had 5 kids in the house almost all afternoon, it was fun!

Uncle Dougie, Aunt Lizzi and Violet!!

Yeah!!  The kiddos were so excited to meet their new cousin Violet and to see Uncle Dougie and Aunt Lizzi.

Round Rock boat Regatta, snow cones and a new car!

We headed out to Old Settlers Park for the Boat Regatta.  It was hot, but we enjoyed watching the boats to see if they would sink or float!  Then cooled off with snow cones!

I didn't know it, but Mike has been trying to sell his Porsche for a few months. He got a call from someone to buy it while we were gone and by the time we got back he was no longer interested.  So he took it to a dealer where where could trade it in for a new Volkswagen Passat.  They didn't offer enough for the Porsche so he walked away on Thursday.  On Saturday, we got a call from the dealer with a great deal to trade in the Porsche for our brand new car!!!

Fun in the Sun

Aberlee and Alex

We found a ladybug

taking a much needed break

Oh how I love this time of year here!!  It's a perfect 80 something degrees which is so nice in the shade and warm enough for the kiddos to play in the waiter table, which they all LOVE!!!  I wish it would last longer!  We had Aberlee, Jax and Reese over for a playdate.  I think we were all finally back in the swing of things from my trip and the kiddos being with PawPaw and Gram.
