After the fourth...

On Saturday, the day after the Fourth Celebration, we mosied on down to the lake to meet up with some of Levi's kind folks. We had a really good time. Hunter got to go out on the boat and ride the tube. It was quite comical as he had a rough time. It started out okay, but the lake was rough, and as soon as we got up to speed, things got a little bumpy for him. His little legs just flew everywhere! Then, he somehow shifted, and he started taking water inside the tube... thats when we stopped.





After the boat, we joined back at the campsite for some really good food and some of grandma's homemade ice cream. We gave Lauren a taste and once she figured out how good that stuff was, she was literally grabbing the bowl and trying to drink from it.





Here is a picture of me and the 'J' man in the backseat of the car, on our way to Cordell.



Ok, so we are going to travel back in a time a little bit. Just a few pictures I wanted to share. First is Lauren in the car on one of our recent trips to Hereford Texas. She 'learned' how to play peek-a-boo... she pulled her blanket up over her head, while we all said "Where's Lauren???"... then she would suddenly jerk it down, and we'd say, "There she is!!!!". That was followed with giggles and then she's do it all over again.

The other picture shows her sleepiness and how she 'sucks' on her thumb. She only does this when she is really tired, and she rarely ever actually sucks on it at all.




This is a really cute picture of a friend's little boy and Lauren at their cookout... His daddy and Levi were pretty good buds during high school (read: got into a lot of trouble together), and we jokingly warn the couple that their son will not be allowed to date our daughter! and vice versa... watch us eat our words in about 16 years! ha!



Finally, somethings about Lauren and what she's doing now... Her Aunt Sarah bought her this awesome garden play center for a whopping $2 bucks! And I must say for only $2, it's in excellent condition! Lauren just absolutely loves it! She loves to open and shut the gate repetitively.






Lauren also is now:

• clapping her hands
• waves bye-bye a lot better
• fake coughs (all-the-time!)
• loves to open cabinets doors, drawers, anything that will open and shut
• mimics us

Other than that, not too much else to report. Check back in a few days, I will be posting a cute video of her and her pepper/fry fits!

Hope all is well!
