I hope you have time on your hands, because this could take a while! Since I haven't posted at all this month, I thought I would catch up by putting everything into this one post! Good luck keeping up! Here we go...
First of all I have now been doing this blog for one year! I found out through friends that you can publish your blog, so that is what I did! Here is the finished product, and I love it!
Next is the Fourth of July! The Presley's along with some of our college kids from church came over and shot off fireworks.
Like mother like son...
Ok, since June I have been taking a cake decorating class with my friend Tammy for fun. To pass course 1 you have to make a "Test Cake", which you copy from a picture! Beau's parents, a.k.a Doodaa and Pops, came to visit the second week in July so I made my test cake to say Happy Birthday Pops. And yes I made those roses, and yes it is so hard!
Every morning Pops wanted to go work out, and I went with him 4 mornings, and Beau went with him once. Here is a pic of Beau soooo excited to go workout with Pops!
Beau and his mom Doodaa, or as Grant likes to call her, Doodoo...
Grant loves his Pops! I have tons of pictures of these two together throughout the week!
Now moving onto the third week in July, Ft. Worth! Beau was supposed to be in Honduras for this week, but because of scary things happening there they had to cancel his trip. I planned on going to spend the week with Meredith during the same week, and did NOT cancel my trip!
I love this picture because it shows the difference in skin tone! B is so tan and Grant just isn't! Right after I took this picture they kissed and Blake did her sign and said the words "more, more"! Too precious!
I LOVE Mere's backyard, and so did the kids! I love this pic of Grant standing on the fence. This is the same fence he flipped over the top of into the mud on his head! The joy of having a boy!:)
Our sweet babies playing sweetly outside. Notice Blake with a tan line, Grant the same color all over...
We decided to take a little road trip to Abilene for the day. Mere was filling the car up with gas and getting me coffee, while I was sitting with the kids in the car...
My precious friend Kim was sweet enough to let us come and eat lunch and play at her house. This pic is just a glimpse of the future with these two! Hopefully Grant will have j-o-b and be able to pick up the tab!!:)
I absolutely love this picture of the boys squishing sweet Blake, and her loving it!!

So here is a glance of our week with our friends Mere and Blake...
Here we are at the mall play place where it was hot and gross, but the kids had a great time!

I absolutely love this picture of the boys squishing sweet Blake, and her loving it!! This is Jake, Jack, Blake, and Grant...
Here is Kim, myself, and Mere. Kim is now pregnant with their 3rd child, and this time it is going to be a GIRL!!! I am soooo excited for you Kim!!
After lunch and play time, Mere and Blake went to take naps at her parents house, and I went and spent the afternoon with Beau's sister Kristy and her family! She has a beautiful pool, so obviously we skipped nap time and spent some time in the water...
After swim time, Kristy and Doodaa were sweet enough to watch Grant while Mere, Kim, and I went out for supper at Abuelo's!! It was so great to have a little bit of quiet girl time!!
Because Grant had NO nap, he had a little bit of a hard time settling down on our way back to Ft. Worth. Being the fab mom that I am I decided to get back there and try to comfort him. I was driving so I pulled over to let Mere take over, who was cracking up at the thought of me trying to fit in between the two car seats, but I did it! While I was back there, Grant was screaming and Blake was dancing and singing to her songs!! I couldn't help but laugh!
Here is Mere posing for a pic while driving down the interstate...
Here is a little game B and G liked to play
More pics of the kids playing sweetly outside...
Taking time to cool off...
A little T.V. time....
Right before we left on Thursday morning Grant decided to dump a WHOLE box of cheerios for Mere to clean up...
Mere and I are kind of known to take 50 too many pics of ourselves, but this time we only had this one! I wish we would have chosen one of the days that we chose to shower and get ready, but that would have been too fake:) This is truly what we look like when we are together..
I love you Mere and B!! We miss you like crazy, and wish we were neighbors!! Thanks Ryan for being so awesome and letting me take over your house!
Ok so if you know me very well you know that I am a little bit of a brat. I can own it, I am not ashamed!!:) Well I was not ready for my vacation to be over, so I called Beau and told him to meet me about an hour from home, and get a hotel so we can play in the pool, and then go shopping!! This is what my AWESOME husband did...
He found this cool hotel! Grant thought that all of the concrete balls out front could bounce, but soon found out he was wrong...
We were next to great shopping, and a Chuck E. Cheese. This was our first experience there, and we loved it!!! Grant had a great time!!!
She had games for the kids with prizes! Here is find a prize in the haystack...
Here is the duck pond...
She also had pony rides..
She also had cowboy hats for all the kids to wear...
It was the most precious party!! We can't believe you are already two Addi!! We love you so much and are so thankful for you and your family!!

On Saturday we went to Grant's best friend Addison's birthday party. She LOVES cows, so her mom Tammy threw an awesome barnyard party. I told her she reminded me a little bit of Kate Gosslin! Here is the cake...
She had games for the kids with prizes! Here is find a prize in the haystack...
Here is the duck pond...
She also had pony rides..
She also had cowboy hats for all the kids to wear...
It was the most precious party!! We can't believe you are already two Addi!! We love you so much and are so thankful for you and your family!!
