First Meers Family Vacation

We had the chance to take our family of FIVE to Destin, Florida at the beginning of August. It was a wonderful vacation. The girls loved the ocean, the sand, the food, the pool, etc. And I loved being there with them! It was so neat to make such sweet memories with them!

Kemah!!!

My parents came in for the weekend and we ended up taking an impromptu trip to Kemah. It was really hot, but really fun! Dad bought an obscene number of tickets and we all had a ball riding the rides. I was surprised how many the girls are now big enough to ride. So fun! When the tickets ran out, the hot set in, and so did the whining from Miss Payton. What a princess! We had a wonderful dinner at the Flying Dutchman and topped it off with a bag of candy at the candy store! Maci was successful at the art she has perfected...getting whatever she wants from the grandparents. Before we even got started she had her very own large bottle of water and a stylin new pair of shades. Nice going Maci, work it! Blake was an absolutely perfect baby the entire day...sweat and all. It was such a fun day! We need to do it again soon...well, we can wait for it to cool off just a bit first! :)

4th of July

Both girls were a little under the weather...Maci was getting over something and Payton was starting up something. We didn't do much during the day, but that evening the Meers' came over for pizza, fireworks, and cupcakes. Maci is still terrified of fireworks so she hid in the garage for the little ones (sparklers and poppers) and hid in the house for the neighbor's huge firework display. Payton loved it all. Blake even enjoyed the bright fireworks. Here are a few pics!

Blake is 2 Months Old

Daddy wants more pics on the blog...

What we have here, folks, are a few pictures of sweet smiles from our little man, the little man sleeping in his room for the first time, the little man and the little girl hiding in a sea of dolls, the little man at the lake for the family reunion, and the big girl getting all dolled up for her dance recital!! Enjoy everyone (daddy)!!!!
