Fourth of July with Family!

We love when my brother and his family get a chance to come down to Texas for a visit. We are hoping that sometime soon they will decide to move down here!!
We had a great 4th of July enjoying time outside in Kim's pool! The rest of the week we went to a Rangers baseball game, went to Hurricane Harbor, did alot of shopping and hung out together!!We always have lots of fun! I love my family!! Everyone leaves tomorrow. My parents are going back to SD, but then will be here most of the fall and winter!!

Okay...so we are kinda a strange family. Eric had heard that there was this bet that people couldn't eat a plain piece of white bread and under a minute. Well, us siblings are all quite competitive ( even Kim did the challenge later on) so we decided to try it and NONE of us could do it. I know it sounds weird, but how many of you will go and try it now?: ) It was so much harder than we thought it would be: )

Cooper and Hattie playing in the kiddie pool

I told Hattie to go upstairs and get her shoes and she came down stairs and said " I found my shoes, Mama!" she thought those little plastic heels would be perfect for a trip to the store!

The only pictures we got at Hurricane Harbor! We all had a blast though: ) Hattie even got to go down lots of slides because she is so tall for her age ( 3 feet exactly)! There was this one ride that she had to sit behind me in a double tube. Right when it started I thought how scared she would be since we went through a dark tube and a fast speed. We got to the bottom and she said " lets go again!"
