A Summer Update...

Well, I haven't blogged in a while because the summer has found us traveling a ton!!! And when we are not driving back and forth to Dallas, I am at home doing laundry & repacking us for the next trip! But I am happy to say we are done traveling for a while!! We don't have another trip planned until the end of August!! Which is a good thing considering Abbie hates to travel!! Hates the car & the car seat...we had a little improvement when we moved her from her carrier to a bigger car seat but it still has not completely stopped the screaming meltdowns that she tends to have in the second leg of our trips to Dallas & back to Tulsa. I'm pretty sure it is punishment for something we have done but not quite sure what yet :-).... but lots of things have happened this summer, so I thought I would give a quick update!

• Eric & I celebrated 3 years of marriage & 10 years of dating in June!!
• My gorgeous little sister got engaged!! Getting married next September!!
• My beautiful older sister is having baby #2!
• Eric went to Miami for a week for work & Abbie and I went to spend the week with my parents!
• We spent July 4th in Dallas celebrating with our families.
• Abbie went swimming for the first time at Eric's parents new house on Lake Lewisville!
• Abbie turned 4 months old July 2nd...weighed 13.5 lbs & was 25 inches long!
• Ryan & Hope finally got married this last weekend...the source of much of our traveling this summer!
• Eric spent a weekend celebrating Ryan for his bachelor party...floating the river, Drillers game, etc.
• Abbie & I spent a weekend celebrating Hope...bridal luncheon, personal shower, dinner & bachelorette party in Dallas.
• Abbie & I got the chance to catch up with Casey & Caden and Kelly & Kinley...I see a trend...maybe I should given Abbie and C name!
• My parents are finishing thier backyard & putting the pool in which we are very excited about!!

We do have some more travels planned but not for a while. We are heading out to Fort Gibson lake next Sunday to spend time with our sweet friends in our community group! We are really looking forward to that! My cousin is getting married in October so we will be traveling for that. We are planning a vacation for Labor day weekend but are still in the process of deciding where to go! And I am sure more things will pop up along the way...but for now I am enjoying staying at home!!!

I will do a post soon of all pictures to recap all the fun we have had this summer!!

Read With Me...

My dear & sweet friend Casey, at Carrying On...Life with the Kazmanns is hosting a book club! We are going to be reading The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. I have read the jacket cover & it promises to be a good one! The chapters are not very long so it won't take too long to read & we will have a couple of discussion questions through Casey's blog to answer each week. So if you are looking for something fun to do that won't take up too much time...come read with us!!!
