Popsicle Jokes

Did you know that popsicle sticks now have jokes printed on them? You normally would have to eat the popsicle to see the answer...but I'll just make you read our blog. Why shouldn't you play hide-n-seek with a leopard?

While you're thinking on that...

A lot has been going on here. Summer has been crazy, but thankfully it's fall and we are getting a little more of a regular schedule around here. Josh has finished his summer classes and started up classes for the fall. It's the start of another semester!

Maggie and Josh goofing off. We have a crazy family.

This summer has been hot that's for sure, but as close as we were to breaking the record for days over 100 degrees, we didn't quite make it. Still though, the inside of my car definitely points out that it's still hot!

Yep. 120 degrees. Poor Alyssa,

Since I last wrote we also celebrated our first anniversary! We took a weekend "away" and stayed at a fancy hotel downtown here in Fort Worth. It was a fantastic staycation! We lived the high life for a couple days which was really fun. And they had a pool which was great! But don't worry, we've still just a bunch of country folk living in a city...there's pictures to prove it.

Classic

Ridiculous

That's us for you!

Carrie also came to visit a couple weeks ago. It was such a blast! It's always good to see family and to get to hang out. We got to hear her stories about Camp La Vida and of course make some new memories while she was here! Adventures wandering around Cabela's, seeing Eli Young Band at Billy Bob's (where we almost got in a fight because of crazy girls...pun intended), and watching the Rangers beat the Red Sox were some of my top picks. And of course Farkle (Josh's new addiction) was fun too. It's the perfect game that doesn't require much skill, which is why I love it!

Random food update...we made shrimp n' grits for the first time. Delicious!

Yum!

Overall everything has been going good. The new group of 5th graders at church has been really fun. It's a ton of names to learn, but it's also another great opportunity to share God's Word with more kids this year! And we get to go see our camp brother Gunkin get married next weekend. Can't wait to see some family and friends and get to celebrate together!

Because you'll be spotted!
