4th of July Weekend in Austin

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

Aunt Theresa and the girls made cupcakes for the 4th...red and blue with white icing and red, white and blue sprinkles! Yummy!!

Saturday afternoon we went to the pool in Brian and Theresa's subdivision

Ready for some fireworks!!

Can we get any more stuff on??

Lovin' the shades!

Aunt Theresa was sandwiched between the girls

On Sunday, we stopped at Serrano's in Austin for lunch. The girls watched the birds the whole time we ate. They saved some chips to feed them when we left.

Another great 4th... this was the 8th year to celebrate with Brian and Theresa! A great family tradition!!

Splash Station..again

You may notice a difference... a duck instead of the frog! We were getting ready to leave for Splash Station when I realized the frog was still in Clifton at Granny's house. Nothing to do but buy another one!! The frog was getting a little worn out anyway... so, welcome to the family little duckie!

Louisiana

Our annual Bates/Lange vacation

We went to Shreveport for our vacation with the Langes. The boys had fun playing while the girls shopped!

Melinda and I made little goody sacks for the boys...complete with PayDay & 100 Grand bars, and other asst candy and snacks!

This Superman goes WAY back...funny story to go with it too! Let's just say he travels on all road trips with us.

Todd and Melinda

Dustin and me... yes, no make-up. We left way too early to worry about that! Boy, that's a shiny face!!

Melinda and me in front of the money wall at Horseshoe.

The boys...what else can I say?!?!

Lunch with the cow....

It was a great trip! ...a nice getaway!
