Summer in a nutshell...

So sorry... I totally forgot about our blog.  I'm not going to promise to post everyday like I had originally planned, but I will post when I can think about it. :) We have had an extremely busy summer, as always!  I'm a bit overwhelmed about posting a "summer" post because we did so much, but I think I can narrow it down to a few highlights.  

May started off with Nana (my mom) coming to visit and we met her at the lake house.  For those of you that don't know my parents live in Balikpapan, Indonesia and work for Chevron. They have lived out of the country for the last 8.5 years.  We miss them all the time and wish daily that they would move home, BUT having them out of the country has provided us with great opportunities to travel and see things we could have never before seen.  Anyway, every year mom comes at the beginning of summer with my dad following shortly behind.  Here are a few pictures of her visit in May.

First time in the lake.  Aiden is very lucky I love him and I am willing to get in with him...I HATE the water!

We continued that weekend visiting with family and friends.  Aiden got to meet his Uncle Bobby, Aunt Starr, and cousins Chelsey, Samantha, and Reagan.  We were lucky to celebrate Samantha's (my cousin) graduation.  

Congrats Sam! We love you.  

Aiden getting some love from Chelsey.  She is one of the most caring people I have ever known.

May wraps up with a visit to our family friends Carla and Mike's.  They live in Conroe and invited us over for Memorial weekend. Aiden got to swim in the pool with his girlfriend Aubrey.

June didn't slow down any!  We started off with our great friends Jodi, Tanner, and beautiful baby Parker coming to visit.  We had a nice time visiting, shopping, and eating out.  Aiden loves playing with little kids, especially ones that are older.  He just sits and tries to imitate what they are doing.

Aiden and Parker at Texas de Brazil.  This was Aiden's first time in a highchair.  

Our family was very busy in June with weddings, bachelorette parties, and lake trips.  Here are a few highlights of June...

Ed and Sylvia's wedding.  It was SOOO beautiful and we were happy to celebrate with them.  

Our good friends Rusty and Lindsay came down for the Addison wedding with their daughter Emily, Aiden's other girlfriend. 

Aiden eating fruits and veggies for the first time.  He is a pro now eating avocados, squash, peas, green beans, apples, bananas, pears, plums, peaches, and sweet potatoes. He is a champ and will eat annnything until you stop feeding him.

Brushing Aiden's teeth.  In June, he only had two little bottom teeth and now he has six total (two on bottom, four on top).

July started off with a trip to the lake for the 4th of July. It was a full house and we loved spending time with all our family.

Josh and Aiden at the lake.  For some reason I thought I got more pictures during our July lake trip but I guess not.  

After the lake we all came back to Dallas for a couple of days before Josh, my mom, my dad, Marcus, my uncle and I went to Las Vegas.  Again, I only took a few pictures and them my camera broke.

Pop and Aiden hanging out before we leave for Vegas.  His grandma and papaw watched him for five days while we had a great time in Las Vegas.  What a blessing they are! 

Marcus and I in the lobby at the Venetian waiting on everyone to come down for the morning.

Photo opt with Elvis.

Aiden's first ride on the carousel.  He loved it!

We started a new church at the beginning of August.  This was at lunch after Aiden's first time in the nursery.  

Every Wednesday, Aiden and I go to the Frisco library to sing, read books, and dance.  He has a blast watching the other little kiddos in our group.

Little man ready to read!-- He only sat in this chair for 30 seconds before he was up moving around.

Aiden and Josh swimming at the pool in our neighborhood.  He has really been a fish lately.  We swim a couple of times a week.

Uncle Marcus and Sarah came to visit and brought Aiden a new Curious George book with a monkey!

Aiden, Marcus, Sarah, and I went to the circus in Ft. Worth.  Our favorite part was the elephants.

Josh's parents and sisters came to visit for his birthday.  Aiden and Ashlea...

Josh opening presents on his 29th birthday!

Hopefully, next time I won't wait so long to post. :) This was really overwhelming trying to get our summer onto one page!!
