August 2013

Wow... what a month we just finished up!  So many fun things.  I had to post some pictures because there were just too many activities to blog about... August had some cooler days and some nice rainy weather!  So we got to have some fun outdoor outings without all the sweat and heat exhaustion!

First we had a trip to the Dallas Zoo with the Walter Ladies!  So fun!  April and Haley gave this gift to Emma for her birthday and it was so much fun to see the three of them running around!  Maggie was still strolling.  We were so thankful for special times with friends and for an overcast day! 

Checking out the ducks!

Our  next big news for August is that Maggie upgraded into her very own convertible car seat.  I think she really likes facing forward.  But I think this chair makes her look like a big girl.  No baby girl, you can't grow up!

Towards the end of August, Grandy hosted a Tea Party for six of her little granddaughters!  Very sweet considering she did it in celebration of her own birthday!  Of course, she went all out and had all the clothes, accessories, makeup and perfume for the little ladies.  It was so much fun and the girls loved it!

Girls and their shoes.  Miss Anna on the far right had some big heels on!!

Maggie dressed up too!

 

Grandy even let the girls use her nice china! No accidents at all!

 

Our last big event in August was a quick trip down to Austin to visit with Aunt Jamie, Granddad and Grandma.  What great fun for only a few days! (and lots of pictures thanks to Aunt Jamie).  I love that our families live so close and that we get to see them often.  We played outside, took Granddad out to lunch, went to the Austin Children's Museum (before it permanently closed) and just hung out. 

 

Maggie wanted sunglasses too!

Gotta eat at Rudy's!

Caught this great photo!  Yes, Emma has some ups!

Last night trip to Amy's Ice Cream!

I'd say Maggie likes it! Peace, Love and Ice Cream!



 

Aunt Jamie captured these next few photos... love them!  This swing is in high demand when we go!

What trip would be complete without a dressup party??  Emma called herself a 'princess' in this dress!  :-)
