We had such a fun Fourth of July! We swam and cooked out and enjoyed the day at their house before we went to the Turnpike Troubadours concert in Dallas!
Such a fun experience!
It was HOT, not going to lie, but once the sun died down............it was perfection!
All us girls ready in our boots and cowgirl attire!
Love them!
My favorite picture!
These girls have so much fun together!
Great show!
Memories made! We went for some SUPER late ice cream and called it a great night!
Right now the FIFA World Cup Soccer tournament is being played and it SO cool that it is being played in the US. Not to mention one game was played in AUBURN! (Argentina and cant remember who) and then some games are being played in Dallas!
So, we got to go to Fort Worth Downtown and see some watch parties! I didnt realize how BIG of a deal this is and it was super cool to experience! And the fact, that they live right down the road from something like this is crazy!
World Cup Soccer is HUGE and a big deal across the world. Super fun experience!
We watched the games everywhere we went!
And look how fun! They had displays like this everywhere with huge tents and fans and big screens and music. The atmosphere was so great!
We LOVE spending time with the Messers and love a good vacation and that is exactly what we had!
Never a dull moment with them. We pick up like we just left off, the girls love to hang together and do all the things and we just have a great time!
We had a great trip and now back into the groove of the real world!
This was our view for the rest of the afternoon once we got to their house! They had so much fun!
Us adults got cleaned up and had a skyline dinner!
Next day was full of water park and Swig and lunch! They had fun!
And only picture of a fun dinner!
Next day up and on a fun walk to the Farmer's Market and then brunch at Press, one of our favorite spots!
Love how we take a picture each year of them here! That is literally all the pictures I took. We shopped, ate, swam, laughed, played games, watched FIFA Soccer World Cup, had fun dinners, ice cream, the concert, all the things! We cant wait until next time!
Alexis got to celebrate her 18th birthday is Texas!
She loves that her birthday falls on when we normally travel and goes on vacation! It works out great for her! :)
They had just gone swimming and she did not want her picture taken............but............ :)
We sang her happy birthday and had a great little celebration for her!
Like every year, she picks Yamato for her birthday dinner and we all gather to celebrate her!
I cant believe this year, we are celebrating her being 18!
That is just a crazy number! ha!
Though she may be thinking she is an adult and all the things..............she will forever still be our first, and as long as she is still living under us and we are paying for everything, our 'child.' ha! (she loves to hear that part!) :)
This next big phase of her life is coming quick and I am so excited to see what all it has in store for her!
Here's to 18!
The crew!
Opening her gifts!
Alexis has loved being a lifeguard. So much so that she begged this Summer to do it because Tyler and I thought (and still think) she needs to branch out and do something different....
but, she is loving it and its her 3rd Summer! She is a pro!
We enjoyed getting to see her in action yesterday for a little bit!
She was focused!
I am getting so bad about taking pictures. I dont know why, but it just is something I havent been doing lately.
That doesnt mean we arent still super busy and doing all the things!
Saturday was full of an early dinner with Nan, Pawpaw and Brandi at Tony's in Centre. It is a small trek there but so worth it. It was delicious so we were happy they said to meet them there! It is a gem of a place!
Sunday was full of all things Church, and gearing up for the new week with Greysyn thrown in! We got him and enjoyed a bike ride and then the pool for a little bit before it closed to see Alexis working!
It was a HOT day but so fun to have time with him! Besides some laundry and cleaning thrown in, that concludes our weekend! ha!
Tyler and Lily rode from our house on their bikes so I took Tyler's truck with mine and his bikes...so we had time to swing while we waited on them! We were the lucky ones! ha!
Getting ready to ride!
His little legs! BOY, you could tell he has been in the air conditioning all summer! ha! He was a tired little one! ha!
We had shade for a good bit of the ride which was nice!
Turtle Lake! Checking to see how many turtles and taking a break and drinking some water! ha!
We were READY for the POOL after that ride! And to see Alexis working!
This boy was ready for the pool, to sit in a chair and EAT some ice cream! ha! We had a great afternoon!
We celebrated our guy, yesterday, and hope he felt the love! Didnt snag a picture, but Lily did and sent it to me.
Thankful for him.
The day we got home from the beach, my friend Leah and Adam texted me asking if one or both of my girls could babysit their 3 girls (Emma, Ann, and Libby).
Since they had 3, both Alexis and Lily went (even though Lily was mad and wanted to do it by herself!) :)
but they had a great time and Lily loved having her first babysitting job! (they both got paid, so that made Lily be fine!) ha!
They cant wait to babysit again!
This is sweet Emma, the oldest. Ann is beside her. They were laughing at a movie together! Libby (3) was asleep! Alexis did a great job of getting her to sleep!
Another day....another sunset, more relaxing and fun!
Cant beat the view.
I mean is he an alien? ha!
Alexis enjoyed getting to come this year!
The sunset....amazing!
The car kind of took away from our picture but still a beautiful sunset!
Another lazy beach day!
Another beautiful sunset!
Always a great ending when we have SweetFrog!
Always....always...always...love our beach time!
I literally didnt take many pictures at all. We didnt get dressed up, we kept it all low key and it was very relaxing!
I did have our 'beach outfit' ready and was wanting to take family pictures since we havent been all together since Alexis was in 7th grade.................
but...............
of course, my family vetoed me out and we didnt take any.
BOO!
But, its fine.
I didnt want to have to dry my hair and put make up on either so I get it! ha!
A lot of the pictures are the same of what we did because we literally did the same thing every day! ha! Beach, pool, reading, getting sun, relaxing, floating, walking the beach, playing bocce, and REPEAT!
Our first full day....along with most of all the other days...consisted of this! Notice...Lily...reading...and Alexis...scrolling! :)
And this was me!
There was a lot of this from allll of us!
And night swimming by them!
And can NOT beat the sunsets! Just so peaceful and gorgeous!
Then....another day.....Lily reading.................... Alexis not.............. ha!
Tyler looking all baywatch! ha!
We went to dinner to celebrate Gran's birthday! McGuire's never disappoints!
Happy birthday!
Then the rest of the evening was this! Rinse and repeat!
