Beach!

Saturday we had the pleasure of going to Sargent Beach!  It was awesome!  The kids had a wonderful time.  It was so pretty and not crowded at all.  Grandma Janie even got Zane in the water and he later said it was his favorite part.  We definitely hope we get to go back!

Father and Son, great picture!

Finally back at the beach where it all began!

Happy beach goer!

Funnest activity in the world! Digging!

Beautiful beach baby!

Me and my baby!!!

Grandma and Granddaughter!

Love them!

Off we go!

Zane was scared of getting in the saltwater because he thought he would get sick, so Grandma made a game out of it until he got used to it!

I love this picture!!!

Big waves and one happy boy!!!!

He just smiled from ear to ear!

She was getting sleepy and needed that sandy thumb!!!

We are always skeptical when we try new things with the kids, but this one turned out well, so I think we can do it again!

Library Day

We went to the library today and the kids did good-no crying, trying to participate, so as a fun thing afterwards, we have started going to HEB and I let them do some Buddy Bucks.  It's a machine where they can put in a HEB Buddy buck and a wheel spins and then it gives you a sticker.  The kids love it and both machines were working today, so they got to do it at the same time, which they loved.

Rachel gets so excited to hit the button to stop the wheel.  Whap, whap, whap!  :)

Mom came down last weekend and brought me some tiny strawberry plants that I am trying to nurse back to health.  The kids were right there to help me scoop dirt into the pot.

We had to go pick up something for Daddy from Home Depot.  Just give my kids brochures while we wait and they'll be fine. 

Riveting stuff.

And then there was this nice moment yesterday where they got along and read their books together.  That makes me happy.

 And another reading moment:

And Jeff took this picture of me getting snuggles and reading.

Jesus Loves Rachel

My littlest dear loves to sing. And we love listening to her! In the second video, I started recording because she was singing about ranger rides-a made up song by her! And sorry it's dark, we were on our way home from Bible study.

Zane's Bible Cover

I got inspired lately to make a Bible cover for Zane.  I found a great tutorial online and stayed up way too late tonight to finish.  I'm pretty happy with it, but of course there are things I wish were a little better.  I decided to call it good though because Zane won't notice and I think he'll love it!

I am excited to do another soon!

For some reason, the color isn't very good in these pictures.  The table cloth is green, like the middle picture.  Oh well!  Time for bed!

Happy 4th!

We had a great time outside in the pool today to celebrate the 4th!  Jeff was off work and it was perfect!  No hotdogs or hamburgers though.  But I did make an awesome chocolate meringue pie!

Round 2 of icee pops!!!

Hope you all had a great day!  We sure did!!!
