Callie's "Kiss" Tongue

Callie has an amazingly long tongue, and when we were in Rockport, everyone encouraged me to document it!

Rockport Relaxation

We are in Rockport this week with Jane, Bill, Scott, and Alli. Lots of beach, swimming, fishing, and RELAXATION!! The kids are doing boogie (spelling?!) boards for the first time, and loving it! They are also fishing--a 3 year old with a hook on a line is quite scary--and Cal caught 2 catfish yesterday from the pier. They both can actually cast really well! Macie is not having the best time, bless her heart. It's pretty hot for her to be outside, and she HATES the life jacket on the boat--not her dream vacation, I guess.

He is Done!

Bryan finished the Bar Exam last Thursday--Yea!!! I really think he feels pretty good about it, even though he'll never actually say he thinks he did well--that would jinx it of course! We won't know results for 3 months--but we won't dwell on that--we're free!

The Big Test

Well, this post has no pictures. I suppose I could have taken a picture of Bryan studying, but looking at it would have been even more boring than seeing him in real life for the past several weeks! He takes the Bar Exam this Tues, Wed, and Thurs--and BOY ARE WE READY!!! He has worked really hard, and I know he'll do absolutely fine on it, but he's not as confident in his abilities as I am. So, everyone please remember him in a little prayer on those days as he takes the final test of the past 3 years--what a relief Friday will bring!!

Mandy and Lauren Come to Visit

I recently enjoyed a visit from a really special friend of mine that many of you know, Mandy (Taylor) Braddy, and her daughter Lauren. We have been close friends since birth, but don't get to see each other near enough in our crazy lives! Lauren just turned 8, and she is such a little copy of her Mommy! We loved watching the 2 girls together, because it just looked like little Mandy and Lisa running around--what memories! We enjoyed a visit to Palm Beach and the Space Center.

Princess Dinner

One of the chuches in League City recently had a "Princess Dinner" for little girls--it was really cute! All the girls were dressed in their best princess attire, and they had a dainty little meal, crafts, fingernail painting, stories, pictures, and more! Princess Callie attended, along with her friends Kaitlyn, Haley, and Emma from church.

Toothless Again!

Callie lost a second tooth this week! Somehow Jack was involved this time--apparently had some sort of collision in the neighbor's swimming pool. Amazingly, we still came up with the tooth for the fortunate Tooth Fairy! The gap in her teeth ( on the bottom) looks especially black--that is because she has it filled with oreo cookie!

Backyard Playground

Well, ingenious Papa put up a zip line in the back yard last weekend--what fun! Aside from the tall rickety ladder giving me a heart attack everytime the kids climbed up, the whole deal was really fun! He had them coming in for a landing on a wet tarp like a slip-n-slide, or the kiddie pool for a "splash down"--they had a blast. Poor Macie just had a ringside seat...
