Our summer started off with a bang celebrating my sister-in-law Kylie's birthday, our 3rd Anniversary, and Chris' cousin Daniel's departure to Marine Officer School by seeing Eli Young Band in concert at White Water Amphitheater in New Braunfels. They are my FAVORITE band so naturally I had a blast!
Chris and me before the concert started. He loves any reason to wear a cowboy hat, and he's cute in it if I do say so myself!
Chris, Kylie, and cousin Daniel
Me, Kylie, and Daniel's wife Jenn (check out my birthday boots!!)
We also took time to hang out with our Goddaughters, Lilly (3) and Teagan (2). We are so fortunate to live in the same neighborhood as these two squirts, so we intend on spending as much time with them before their daddy is stationed elsewhere and takes them along.
Lilly and me swimming ~ she was much more relaxed this summer and improved alot!
Teagan sitting in my lap while watching Yo Gabba Gabba. This little stinker cracks me up!
Our next happening was the PBR Rodeo at the Cedar Park Center. We had never been to the new venue, but we had a great time and saw some bull riding (which Chris loves).
We then headed down to South Padre (which I blogged about below) and had so much fun! I wish we could go back today!!
Last, but not least, I got to try something I had never done before... ride a four-wheeler! Chris was surprised I had never been on one before, but hello.... I'm a city girl! I'm constantly reminding him that we didn't "rough it" or four-wheel around the cul-de-sacs of our neighborhood growing up. Poor thing just doesn't understand! Our friend, Kristin, and her family's house is on land near Wimberley and she was kind enough to take us out on their four-wheelers. I had a blast riding behind Chris but have to say I felt most comfortable being in charge of the controls (probly so I could avoid Chris' "throttle-happy" moments). Either way, I had a great time and can check that off my bucket list.
Beware: City Girl Driving!!
As usual, my summer break has flown by quickly, but we had lots of fun and made precious memories. I'm looking forward to another challenging but rewarding school year full of shoe-tying, manner learning, number counting, word spelling, finger painting, dance partying, all around fun!!
XOXO,
Erin
