Lunch and a little silliness

So we have been spending a lot of time this summer swimming. This past weekend we went swimming with Erik, Aly and Kendall and after all the fun at the pool everyone is HUNGRY so we go to one of our favorite hamburger places and we all dig in.  I got this cute video of all 4 of the girls jumping around after lunch.  They have so much fun together.  We are so lucky to be so close to each other so the girls can play together..

Movie time with Alex

So Saturday night Dan and I had rented a movie.  We thought oh that would be fun to get in bed and watch a movie together.  Well Alex has been a total silly kid since moving upstairs in her toddler bed. She can not seem to go to sleep on her own and prefers to come downstairs and hang with us then go to bed. She eventually just passes out from pure exhaustion. 

So we had just turned the movie on and in comes Alex so she got up on the bed and scooted down to the end of the bed and watched the movie with us for over an hour before passing out on me. 

Erin and Dan's 6th wedding anniversary

So in May Dan and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary.  We ended up taking a little weekend away to Austin in June when we had some time off and were ready for some R and R.  It was so nice to connect and just relax and lay low.  We enjoyed every minute of it but missed our girls terribly and though about them a lot.

While in Austin we stayed at Barton Creek resort (long story we had already paid for a vacation there in the Fall but then I had my emergency gallbladder surgery at the same time so we never made it but they let us use it another time but we only had until the end of June good timing on our part to use it up).  We drove down on a Thursday and just took our time and enjoyed the drive.

We played golf together on Friday. What a blast!!  I enjoyed every minute of it. Forgot how fun golf can be.  Dan was a little nervous playing with me as I can only imagine I hadn't played in 15 years.  But i did not totally embarrass myself.  We decided early on no point in keeping my score so we did smiley faces and frowny faces.  There were about 7 smiley faces which is pretty good out of 18..The course was stunning.

Then on Saturday Dan played golf again and I chose to sleep in and do some shopping. Found a cute outdoor mall that happened to be having a festival so I poked aroudn there and had a lot of fun trying on some new styles of clothes that I have been wondering what they would look like on me. I even bought a pair of skinny jeans.  Yeah me!!

We even had time to hit a wine bar and a movie.  We also went to our favorite BBQ place county line twice on the trip. I will say we did go to two different locations both al ot of fun.

Overall great trip and great time with my amazing Hubby.  I still can not beleive it has been 6 years. It has flown by!!!

Here we are at the tee off on Friday playing golf.  Of course gets embarrased I asked the starter guy to take our picture but it was a beautiful view so wanted to capture it and now Dan is glad we have this picture...I am right occasionally.

Our dear friend Laura B had some great suggestions of places to go and one of them was this cute wine bar The Grove. WE stopped here on our way to the movie and had a snack and great wine.

Here we are our last night at the County Line BBQ. We sat outdoors while the sun was setting amazing view, wonderful food and the best company ever. 

Sam's 4th birthday party

Sam turned 4 in May.  This year we decided to share a party with her bestie Sophie.  Best Idea ever.  Thanks Kathryn for finding the coolest place to have it and sharing it with us.  Our two families have become close so it has been fun.

The theme was gymnastics as the girls love their Saturday morning gymnastics classes together.  They giggle while doing backbends...What could be more fun.  This place we found Infinite Bounds also had another side to it fun bounce houses and huge trampolines so fun for all ages.

Here is Sophie and Sam preparty.  Just hanging as the adults get everything set up.

Here is everyone lined up for a quick pic. Sam is hanging out on the left.  She really does not like all the attention. 

Here is Sam and Sophie on the balance beam. Such cuties.

Alex does not want to be left out so she took a turn too.

HErei s our only family picture from the party.  HEre we are at CUPCAKE time..

 Post Party Sam and Sophie hanging onto the baloons...SO MUCH FUN!!

I still can not believe my baby is 4 years old.  Man time sure does fly when you are having fun.
