Summer

Summer has always been my favorite season. It still is, in spite of a heat index yesterday afternoon of between 105 and 109! I'm a beach girl, and even though the beach we always went to--Crystal Beach, near Galveston-- was destroyed by Hurricane Ike, I'll always think of our trips there when I think of summer.

Even with the heat and a new baby, we've been able to get outside and do some fun things. Here are some fun highlights:

eating lunch on the deck



having popsicles in the pool



riding their new bikes
(Carter got his for his birthday, so London got his old one; I asked Justin if he always used to get bikes for his birthdays, and he said, "No, I was the third child, so I always just got the hand-me-down bikes." He was so mistreated, don't you think?!)

We've also had some fun inside!

making Daddy an Oreo pie for Father's Day

And because the grandparents have been asking for more pictures of the grandkids, I'm going to go completely overboard and post a whole bunch!

I hope you enjoyed the pictures, Mom, since you've been pressuring me for them! You do remember what it was like to have 3 kids, right? All the free time to do whatever you want, whenever you want...or something like that. :-)
