port a trips {personal}

Even with the baby this summer, we've been making our trips to Port A on the weekends.  We haven't gone as often as normal, but it's been a fun summer at the beach!

When the boat wouldn't start, we went to Plan B, and did a fishing trip on the side of 361 towards Mustang Island.  This was the first time that our whole family went fishing!!  The boys loved it! 

This is Daddy keeping all 4 entertained while I went on my morning photo shoot...

Also for the first time, the 3 bigger boys entered the Piggy Perch contest!  It was a blast!  Super HOT, but really fun!  You get a pack of bait, a cane fishing pole, a bucket, and 30 minutes to catch as many as you can off the docks.  Brogan caught 8 fish!!!  Dayton & Grady caught about 7 together.  We thought Brogan must be close to winning with 8, when we found out that the winner actually caught 14!!!  It was fun & can't wait to do it again next year!...

Fun times!

summer stuff {personal}

I haven't been so good about blogging about our family in a while!  So, a few pics to update...

Slightly random...but we had a baby owl in our backyard one day.  Brogan saw it while riding around on his tractor.  We watched it through the back door.  Sadly by the time Daddy got home from work, the little owl had "passed away."  He must have been sick...why else would he have been under our table just chillin'?  Anyway, I'm pretty sure we won't ever see a baby owl this close again...

Father's Day.  The boys were very excited about the presents they picked out for Daddy at Costco.  They were even more excited to get to wrap them by themselves!...

Our cousin, Hailey, getting to meet Granger!...

My mom, one of her sisters, and my Nana came to visit!...

LOVE this one!  Brogan made Nana laugh the entire day!  I don't think she was expecting such a big hug!!...

Doing crafts with the boys outside...

We went to the 4th of July parade in downtown NB, for the first time.  Loved it!  Super-short & sweet!  Then we spend the day at Mimi & Pop Pop's house with some family friends...

And we spent the day at Schlitterbahn with some old friends!...(phone pic)

It's been a fun summer so far!
