Weekend at Paul and Lisa's and Happy Birthday to Ryan

We went down to Marble Falls to visit Paul (Ryan's dad) and Lisa AKA Paul Paul and Gigi! We had a terrific time...most of the pictures are in the pool...because that is where we were just about the whole time...

It's also Ryan's birthday today, so we got to leave the girls with the gang and went out for dessert and a movie last night! Nana made Ryan a wonderful chocolate cake and he got some great gifts! Then we stopped by my mom's on the way home and had MORE chocolate cake so Mom and Dad could wish Ryan a Happy Birthday!!

Happy Happy Birthday Ryan!!

My Four Year Old Can Read...

Click on the Play button to watch the video...

Yes, I know she is not the first 4 yr. old to start reading, but I'm just so proud!! Mom is going to work with her every Tuesday alone to get her reading. What she is reading in the video is just after 2 lessons. She loves it and is so proud of herself! Somehow, she has gotten into her head that to go to kindergarten you must know how to swing yourself and to read!! She's checkin' them off even though she has whole year to go!

Happy Father's Day!!

Saturday night, we got to go to Purtis Creek State Park to celebrate Father's Day! Uncle William and Aunt Kay rented a space for the weekend with their travel trailer and invited everyone over for a get-together for Father's Day! Ryan didn't get to come b/c he was working hard at the Lake house, but we gave him his gift that night. Here are a few pictures...

PaPa O.T. and Katie Mae

Me and My Girls!

Aunt Peggy made this cake with all the Father's names on it in the family!
Katie had to eat Ryan's name!!

Katie Mae and Emily!!

She LOVED the watermelon!!

Liam and Rylie crawled under the trailer to hide...crazy kids!

Tim and Ronda

Rylie lovin' her some watermelon too!!

Then Mom, Uncle William and I took the kiddos for a walk to the pier!
Rylie was very dirty and loved this outdoor shower that Aunt Kay let her use, she didn't want to finish her shower!!

That night we waited for Ryan to get home from working to surprise him with his Father's Day gift (a big cooler)...since he was going to leave early Sunday morning to go work again....the girls were so excited waiting for him to walk through the door...

So the yelled "Happy Father's Day" when he walked in...and screamed!!

So, Sunday after we got ready for church, I took a few pics before we left...

Keith got the bubbles out in the nursery and the kiddos went crazy...

After church, we went to mom and dad's to have Father's Day lunch and spend time with Dad/PaPa (Dennis)!

We gave him a "magic mug"! I thought it was messed up when I opened it, but it actually looks all black but when it gets heated up with hot liquid inside, it turn white and shows the picture of the girls I had put on it!!
