Photo Essay.

Here is my attempt to share June/July! June was pretty much a complete blur to me and I don't think I really came out of the clouds until mid-July! We filled our time with tons of fun things, many of which I took no pictures! We had dinners out, margarita night, parties, swimming, and cookouts galore! Below is my June/July Photo essay with captions......

Anderson learned how to pick blackberries right off the bush! Many more went into his mouth than the bucket...doesn't get any more organic than that!

Check out that shiner....boy meets coffee table and loses.

This little fella joined the family!

Family pool party at my momma and daddy's house.

This The Big Green Egg also joined our family this summer...our friends Andrew and Ginger have one and ever since Andrew prepared a beef brisket on the egg, Brad was hooked.

Pool playdates at Hampton Lake--otherwise know as our private paradise! We are so fortunate to be able to take advantage of b/c of friends that are property owners out there!

The 4th of July with the Colvins--Anderson's first sparkler!

Sweet Mary Kate on the 4th.

Ready, Aim, FIRE!

My, how he has grown up before my eyes!

Lazy days at home playing with little brother!

Coloring with Big when he stops by!

McClure enjoying a little peace and quiet when big brother is napping. There are only certain times during the day when he doesn't have to worry about a 2 year old in his face or toys landing on his head!

The Dinosaur.

I can honestly say that time is the reason my blog is suffering. Oh, it's not that I can't find the time, because that I can do. It is the time it takes to actually blog on our dinosaur that we call a computer. I am not kidding when I tell you that it takes FOREVER to do anything on this thing. Brad recently bough an iPad which is a neat little toy, but we can't figure out how to blog on it. Frustrating. I tried to do a post about June/July on our laptop and it took me an hour and I finally gave up b/c I had to get ready for the 3-ring circus that happens when Anderson and McClure awaken--at the same time, of course!! The straw that broke the camel's back? Brad sat down to do bills and budget and it took him 45 minutes to pay 2 bills. Yes, 2 bills. What a waste when time is so coveted! Next on our list is getting rid of the antique computer. Out with the old and in with the new. Until then, I guess it will just have to take me 12 hours to do a post!
