What we've been up to this summer

Summer 2010 has been really fun so far. Here are a few of the things we've been doing (in no particular order because I can't remember the exact order).

Baseball game for the San Antonio Missions minor league team. Believe it or not it was "mormon night". All the missionaries were there and Ty Detmer was there signing autographs.






Andy and Tyler at the Fathers and Sons campout. A really pretty place about 20 minutes from our house called Pradise Canyon.












The ocean! We did a day trip to the Corpus Christi area and went to Mustang Island State Park. We played at the beach all day then ate dinner at a yummy local sea food restaurant before our drive home.










A visit from Lisa! I've been able to see my best friend Lisa so many times since moving to Texas because she's been in and out many times working or passing through. Lisa and her co-worker Becca went to the riverwalk with us. We are eating yummy chocolates from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory (there is a RMCF on the riverwalk!). Tyler took this picture. The kids love it when "Aunt Lisa" visits, she is soooo fun!




Hiking at Government Canyon State Park. The wildflowers in San Antonio this spring and early summer were to die for (because of all the heavy rains we had this year). I wish I got a picture of the blue bonnets, they were everywhere durin the month of May.




Andy has spent a lot of time working in the garden and setting up our new swing set. It is so fun to have a backyard of our own after so many years of apartment living!

In or garden we have tomatoes, squash, cantaloupe, sunflowers, parsely, cilantro, carrots, cucumber, sweet potatoes, and basil. We just planted some pumpkin seeds for Halloween, we'll see if they work. A lot of it is all leaves and blossoms and not many fruits but we are learning more and getting better each growing season.

Everything in your yard looks so great! You guys are doing such a good job! And all the fun things you've been doing just make me miss you all the more. I can't wait to see you in a few weeks and to visit you for Thanksgiving! I'll cook!

The kids look so cute and fun. I wish we could come see you soon. Maybe some day. Southwest is having a sale, but we still can't afford it yet. We'll keep trying! At least we'll see you at Christmas in Utah! Zach is getting so big, I love the picture of him in the little chair at the beach.

You are such a busy mom! What a fun summer so far. I just can't believe how big Zack is getting. Babies grow much too fast... tell him to hold up 'till you get here in August! I need to smooch on those yummy cheeks.
