End of Summer Fun

Our summer fun is over :( Zack went back to work on Monday. We had a great month of traveling and fun. We are so thankful that we have that time off together as a family. Two weekends ago we went to Shreveport to visit Lauren, Jason, Bree, Emie, Cole and their two dogs, Tank and Chance. We had a great time with them. We went to a neighbor's pool to swim and had some yummy steaks. Kate really enjoyed Bree dressing up in her lion costume and playing with their toys. We also witnessed Emie losing her first tooth. Very exciting! She said she thought she saw the tooth fairy leave her room with her wings flapping. She also said she saw her go from adult size to a small fairy like on Sleeping Beauty.

Kamara and I had a playdate with some childhood friends, Abbey, April and their boys, Cayson and Layton. One always share a special bond with childhood friends. It was good to hang out with them and their boys.

Zack went fishing one morning with his friend Chris Dunkle and had a blast! They caught 22 striper at the bottom of the dam at Lake Texhoma. We have some footage below of Kate eating corn on the cob, which is one of her new favorites! These last few days we are getting back into the routine, and Zack is enjoying catching up with work and other principal friends.



We bought Kate some pretend food. Here is her yesterday playing with it.

This was one of the fish that Zack caught. (Don't you love his hat?)

Great pics! And we also saw Kate's cute magazine debut in the ACU Today - that lil' Wildcat!

That video is hilarious! She's very concentrated on what she's doing. I think it will be a while before my kids have enough teeth to try that one!
