Grandma had some fun crafts the whole time we were there.

Houston

 My parents came and got me and the kids in Austin. We stopped and did a little hike at Bastrop Stake Park.

 We had a few days with just my parents and little brothers.

 We spent a lot of time in the pool!

Fireplace

(previous owners picture check that awesome light)

I went on a 5 week trip this summer. LONG time to be away from my house and husband. I posted some of my trip already and still have more to blog. My boys had an awesome time seeing 95% of our families.  Anyways while I was gone I knew Ryan would do something awesome. I was a little worried because I love my green walls and he tolerates them because they make me happy. BUT they are still green! Happy days.  He found some fireplace inspiration out there and came up with a perfect fireplace for this house. I love it!

 I love the slate. 

Amarillo Zoo

 Grandma wanted to take the boys too the zoo. We only had one day to go and it was SOO hot but it was fun. 

 Yeah for air conditioning and watching the snake eat.. gross. 

 Madisyn climbed over the fence her friend held her feet and she was able to pick up some peacock feathers. 

 It was so hot! The mister didn't help much but Carter really liked it. 

The boys loved it even if it was hot! Thanks Grandma. 

Amarillo

 Day one in Amarillo we headed to the new splash park. I was having too much fun to take any pictures and then my brother and his family surprised me! Reed ran up behind me and picked me up! So happy. I have missed my brother.

 King of the Rock!

Denver

We stopped in Denver on our trip and saw my Grandparents! It was so wonderful to see them. We got up early and sat with Granddad for a bit then we went on a walk.

We found a small park and then came back to the house to say goodbye. 

I love my grandparents!

Their house is a little less then childproof! So happy I finally have a cool phone to entertain the littles in hard spots.

Traveling

 oops chopped off Madisyn's feet in the picture but she was walking on the slack line.

 Careful! Pop at Great Grandparents means Mom needs to be extra vigilant about empty bladders at bedtime!  

They boys and I left our house for long trip to spend time with lots of different family members and spend some time at my parents house before they retire and leave my old stomping grounds. We started with visiting a lot of Ryan's family. These are really the only pictures I got but it was only a night or two in town.
