More Summer

More summer fun to write about...

We celebrated Dallas' first Father's day back in June. Annalee took him shoe shopping for new tennis shoes...his favorite. She also made him a cute little book with pictures of them and bought him a case of Mountain Dew.  She is one blessed little baby girl to have such an amazing dad!

A few weeks later we went to see Abe & Courtney in Corpus with my parents.  Abe had to work pretty much the whole time we were there but Courtney was a great tour guide.  We went to the beach, to the 2 story Whataburger on the Bay, got to see Kelsey & her family, ate delicious food all weekend, went to the Texas State Aquarium, and just enjoyed family time.

Annalee went home with Mom & Dad to stay with Babs (Dallas' Mom) for a few days.  She got to go shopping, see Grandpa & Grandma, drive Uncle T's new (old) truck, and enjoyed being the center of attention.  I'm sure she made sure to keep Babs busy the whole time! This was the longest we have been away from her and we definitely were ready to see her!

The Monday we got to Abilene I had Annalee's pictures taken by Courtney Cochran. They turned out great and Annalee was a happy little model for almost the whole shoot!

Then we celebrated the 4th of July that Wednesday.  We made an American flag out of cake balls and shot off fireworks at Dallas' parents house then went to watch the Coliseum fireworks also.  Annalee got her first tooth the next day and was pretty fussy so she did not enjoy the loud fireworks at all!

That weekend we headed to the Frio for our annual trip with my family.  It was a relaxing weekend hanging out in the river.

 A few days ago Annalee and I went to College Station to hang out with the Heifrins and Charlee.  Misty and I made Jency & Annalee a few bows, got pedicures, & went to Cafe Excel (mainly for the dessert :) ).  Annalee enjoyed all the entertainment Jake, Levi, and Jency provided.  There was always something to watch or to yell at.

Annalee Update: She has 2 teeth now, sits up, loves growling at people, kind of crawls..it's more like a worm/frog hop looking crawl, she is pulling up on anything she can, definitely has a little attitude when she does not get her way, and the sweetest little smile & giggle ever.  We enjoy watching her learn and grow every day!

Finally caught up! Now back to packing up the house...
