Amarillo by Morning

We did our annual trip to Amarillo during the first two weeks of August this year.







I have hundreds of pictures and since I'm so behind on blogging, this is all I think I'll post. If anyone is interested, I can send you a link to all of the pictures in my Walgreens album.

July Flame

Okay, okay . . . it's been months since I've updated. Over the next few days I'm going to try to catch up on everything.

Month of July

We had some wonderful weather and took advantage of it! We don't really have public pools here so we're constantly at the splash pad or a local beach.








Occasionally, we like dressing the kids up the same as their friends.



And poor Joey . . . look how upset he is!



I'm not a fan of having my picture taken, but check out this picture Joey took of me.



Also during July, the kids went to the annual Backyard Club with our church.






The kids took swimming lessons.








We went to Lake Chauncy.







We went to the beach at Wingaersheek. This was absolutely Fantastic! The tide never got too high and it was very kid friendly. We did learn a valuable lesson, though. Keith needs to be reapplied with SPF 90 about 30 more times otherwise he looks like a lobster.











Clarissa got to pet an alligator.



We spent days at our friend's pool. That was probably some of my favorite times this summer. Lounging by a pool? Yes, please!







The rest of July was filled with Keith's baseball games and we even threw in a Red Sox game!

Surfin' Safari

We went to our local beach area for the first time this year. The weather was great the company was wonderful!

Jump!

Joey had his gymnastics meet at the end of June. He really enjoys gymnastics and excels in it.

While watching the meet, I took notice of the class he'll be in next year and it's amazing at how much different the class will be. I'm talking flips and walking on your hands different!

School's Out

I'm going to try to catch you up on our lives here in the Truman household. Be warned: Not much happens here.

Clarissa and Joey both finished preschool. I'm still amazed at how late the kids go to school here. Family back home got out weeks before my kids did.




Joey completed his last year of preschool and I'm still not used to the idea that I now have a kindergartener! Where did the time go?

Clarissa completed her first year of preschool. I am not ready for my kids to grow up and before you know, they'll be graduating from college!
