Scary new hobby

Audrey now loves to hold Clark...doesn't he look thrilled?

Round Top

We spent the weekend at the Brunson's Bed and Breakfast in Round Top, which is close to Brenham. It is really beautiful down there and we had an awesome relaxing weekend. The Olivers and Brunsons were all there so we had a house full of kids. Here's some pics from around their place.

28 years

I had my 28th birthday last week. My awesome wife set up a dinner at Chuy's with some family members. I got some pretty awesome presents too: Wolf Parade tickets, Mario Kart, Mario Party, and some new clothes. Audrey was in quite a strange mood after the party. Check out the sweet cake that my sister made.

We've had a lot of family in lately, which is just how the "hostess with the mostest" Shannon likes it. Here's Jake and Clark with their matching shirts, Stephers, and Fur-fur.

Cow Appreciation Day

Yesterday if you went to Chic-fil-a dressed as a cow then you got a free value meal. Here's pics of Audrey, Jennifer, Stephers, and Shannon in their outfits.

Fourth of July

We spent the fourth of July at Nacogdoches with Shannon's family. Two exciting events happened with Brigid and Joey getting engaged at the lake and we got news that Jacob and Kalan got engaged the same night in Vegas. Pat had very Derek Jeter like clutch performance at this ball game. With all of this family watching he had 4 rbis and pitched really well.

Library Fun

Last week during our library visit Audrey was acting really cute in the adult stacks. She kept pulling books off the shelves (cookbooks for me, baseball books for Josh), and putting them in the stroller. Then she found this little gem and said sweetly, "Oh, I love llamas." It was hilarious. Her favorite book is Llama, Llama Red Pajama and she picked out the llama right away. I checked it out to humor her, but she has actually "read" it cover to cover four or five times.

Black Sarah and I were talking and thinking--what person would be interested in llama farming and think, "Oh I bet the Temple Public Library would have a great book on that!"?

All brides need to know about the care and breeding of llamas.
