July 2009

July has been a busy month for us. Cassidy and I went to visit our relatives in Nebraska for the fourth. Kevin wasn't able to get the week off so we ended up going without him. It was great to see my Grandmother, aunts, uncles, and my cousins and their children. We had a nice time visiting with everyone. Kevin was lucky enough to get the week off after the fourth and we spent the entire week around the house and did various things in the metroplex.

Me and Cassidy outside my Grandmother'sMe and my cousin Katie. Katie and her brother and Dad made the drive all the way from New Jersey. I really enjoyed talking with her and spending time with her. We even went to a movie without Cassidy!

After we got home from Nebraska we had to deal with the heat!!! We took Cassidy to Hawaiian Falls one day. She had a blast, and wanted to go back to the next day. It was a cool day only 95!

During our week off we took Cassidy to Kevin's parents at Lake Kiowa. She spent one night there and we were able to have a date night. We spent the day at their house relaxing and swimming in the lake. I love going to Lake Kiowa it is soooo relaxing!!!!

Lake Kiowa beach area. The water was so nice it was hard to stay out of it. It was such a beautiful day. There was even live music being played that day. Very cool!!!!

Ready to take a swim in the lake. Cassidy loves it there!!

We ended our week with a trip to the mall. Cassidy and I shopped a bunch and got tons of bargains. She wanted to ride the carousel. She hadn't done that in a long time. My two weeks in July went by way too fast! I hope the two weeks off I have in August go a little slower!

June 2009

This summer has been very busy! I signed up to teach summer school for six weeks and it has been more difficult to keep up with the blog! Since I'm so far behind I thought I would break up June and July happenings.... Father's Day 2009. I love this picture. We celebrated father's day at my parents house with my parents, my brother and his family, and Kevin's family. It was a lot of fun.

Mi Mi wanted a picture of the Browns and Wells. I wish we would have taken one with the Hendrickson family also. Not sure why we didn't :(

Brown Family Reunion. For the last 3 years we have met at Tyler State Park. Kevin, Cassidy and I went up one day early to enjoy the lake and have a mini vacation. Cassidy loved swimming in the lake and had a blast with her cousins.

Kevin and Cassidy enjoying a picnic at Tyler State Park. It was very HOT!

In June we also took Cassidy to the Dallas Arts Festival. It was hot that day and we didn't stay long. Cassidy enjoyed the sidewalk chalk. They have tons of really cool actives but it was so hot all she wanted to do was eat a snow cone and head home :)
