Our New Pool!

This summer we remodeled our playroom and added a pool and outdoor kitchen to our backyard.   Although, we still have a few things left to be finished up, we have really been enjoying our new backyard!

First jump in the new pool!

Fourth of July

We had a great 4th of July this year!  We started our day off by heading off to our little neighborhood parade.  It is very small, but one of my favorite things to do each year. 

 

We were excited to see the Wests and Youngs come by!

We spent the evening swimming in our new pool with friends!  It was a nice relaxing evening.

Poppers and Sparkler fun!

Then we headed to watch the real fireworks!  (after an ice cream stop of course)

Happy birthday America!

 

Cooper Turns 7!

I know I say it every year, but I REALLY cannot believe Cooper is 7 years old!  Where does the time go?  At seven, Cooper is growing into such a responsible and good young man.   He is the ultimate rule follower, but loves to have fun too.  He makes friends very easily and enjoys life.  He is almost always smiling.  He is just like his daddy and wakes up early every morning just happy to start the day.  We make him stay in his room until 7am.  So, at 7:01 he comes shooting out of his room ready for whatever the day will bring. :)  Cooper loves sports, especially baseball.  He has become quite the Astros fan this year.  He even chooses to watch Sports Center over cartoons on most days.  He loves to learn about sea animals, and will read anything he can find about sharks.  He loves to read and learn about the Bible and is always asking questions.  He has a sensitive heart and is VERY competitive.  We couldn't ask for a better son!  Can't wait to see what this year brings!  Happy birthday Coop!

Cooper had his birthday party at one of the city pools.  It was a lot of fun! 

Grandmommy and MiMi making sure the cakes didn't blow away!

Girls sticking together at the party!

Hot dog time!

We continued our celebration by heading to La Toretta! We had a fun family weekend once the rain finally stopped!

 

Last Baseball Game

So proud of Cooper and the Timber Rattlers!  They had a great season!

 

Summer Kick off in Port A

As soon as school was out, we packed up and headed to Port Aransas to kick off summer!

Such a fun trip!
