Recent Pictures

Here are some recent pictures of Julia...

Helping Daddy drive the boat. She kept asking for a turn.

Yes, we had her ride on the tube. She wanted to do it after seeing some friends ride and kept saying it was her turn. As soon as she sat down she changed her mind, but it was too late!

She settled down quickly and seemed to be ok with the ride. She was relaxed enough at one point to say "airplane" and point up into the sky.

Julia and her friend Raegan decided they should wear rain boots to play one evening.

Wearing Mommy's shoes

I was making dinner and looked up to find her like this. She found a shirt in a pile of clean laundry and put it on over her shorts.

First full pigtails!

First time in a bounce house. She was not a big fan, but it might have been because it was super hot inside.

Not happy about going down the hot slide either.

Enjoying some time at the pool with her friend Raegan on Memorial Day.

Watermelon is in season and Julia is eating lots of it!

Fun with Grandparents

Julia is blessed to have 2 sets of wonderful grandparents who live close enough for visits every couple of months. We spent a weekend at Mamaw and Papaw's house, then drove back home and were welcomed by Gigi and Pop who came to town for a quick visit. The following weekend, Mamaw and Papaw were in the area and stayed for a night. Here are some pictures of some fun we all had.

Going to lunch with Mamaw and Papaw

Dinner that night with Gigi and Pop

After dinner we took Julia to the park to feed ducks and play at the playground.

At dinner the following weekend when Mamaw and Papaw came to visit.

Afterward dinner we decided to check out a local water hole. As soon as Julia saw the water and all the people swimming she said, "Get in! Get in!" and sat down to take off her shoes.

We didn't go prepared to swim, but thought we'd let her get her feet wet.

She kept wanting to go farther and farther into the water so we had to take off her dress.

Julia loves to ride on shoulders!

Children's Museum

Here are photos from our first trip to the Austin Children's Museum.

First Round of Golf

Julia played golf with Daddy for the first time on Friday afternoon. Mommy and Julia rode in the cart and watched Daddy, and Julia got out to putt on most of the 9 holes. It was hot when we first started, but it cooled off and there was a nice breeze. Julia enjoyed looking at the scenery and helping Daddy find his golf balls. When we would drive up near one of his, she would exclaim with excitement, "Eeeyarr!" (the way she says "here they are!"). Then when Daddy got out, she would say, "hit ball!"

Here are some pictures and a video clip of her putting...

Here she is at the house when we were about to leave. She didn't know exactly where we were going, but she was so excited and kept yelling, "GOLF!!"

This is fun!

(This was Julia's first ever full ponytail!)

Fun at Gymboree

The highlight of each week for Julia is going to Gymboree for her Play & Learn class. Here are some pictures of her in class recently, along with a video of some cute moments we caught on camera.





She loves getting her Gymbo stamps at the end of class. Here she is anxiously awaiting her turn.

She can hardly wait to get the stamp on her tummy!

Here is the video:
