I heart Summer!!!! Part 1

An awesome summer is one kicked off with a trip to The Big Apple- for

a sisters trip!

Dessert in Little Italy!
We were really in NYC to watch Debbie be ordained as a Minister

of the One Spirit at the beautiful Riverside Church. It was a beautiful ceremony and we

were thrilled to be able to celebrate with her. Congratulations on a huge accomplishment!

and thanks for giving us an excuse to go to New York!

Camp Tallowood- Trey heading off to his first year of church camp!

It was a 5 hour trip on a charter bus(there were

6 buses:-0)

Swim Team - Go Dolphins!

A milestone birthday for my sister Terri.

Oh no it's the big 50!

The problem with that is that she drags be behind her by

10 years- so we know what that means for me:-0

Love the cake!

The 3rd of July

Here in Texas, especially south and central Texas, the 4th of July was a little

uneventful. This

drought we have

going on does not go well with Fireworks, so in a lot of places, the local Fireworks shows were cancelled- Bummer!! We did have a great time on the 4th of July but

in looking at my photos, I took more on the 3rd this year!

We started our day out with pastries from Naegelin's Bakery- this awesome bakery is located on Main Street of New Braunfels and it has been a part of my family for as long as I can remember. My Dad would go pretty much everyday while we were on vacation and now my super wonderful husband has taken on that duty and I love him for it- and the pastries are pretty good too;-)

After some relaxing in the cold waters of

the Comal River and hanging in the pool we

headed over to one of our favorite traditions......The Landa Park train!

Waiting for the train......For the past two years The Evans and Knotts have joined us in NB!

We love that they have been able to come and enjoy this tradition that

we so enjoy! It is so fun for the kids to have time to play with their cousins and fish- which we did a lot of!

Oddly enough I have no pictures of them fishing but trust me, we

spent quite a bit of time putting worms on hooks;-)

We then headed to a restaurant that is as much of a tradition as just going to

New Braunfels, The Gristmill, located in Gruene.

these two boys

are definitely

related!

Look at that

intense look of

BOREDOM!

Such adorable boys!

This year Rob and I celebrated our 24th year of

meeting each other. It truly does not seem that

long ago that I met this incredible hunka-hunka!

I am so thankful for him and each and every day that

we have together!

I love you babe!
