Summer Days!

We are now fully into summer at the Wilson household. When school let out in June we went that very day to Austin to the Lake and then a week later got on the boat for the cruise so we have just now really gotten into summer days off! Which translates into boredom and fighting! Now not hitting although that does happen sometimes but mostly where the kids determine lets pick on and aggravate some one. Joel against Christian; Caleb against Joel; Christian against the other two - seems like it is always someone!! Also this is the very first summer in all of their lives that I am not working at least part-time so that has some adjustments as well (more probably for me than for them). All of this translates into a lot of time at the pool!! It is FREE, we have 4 to choose from and we have had very little rain to hinder our plans. So, if you are looking for any of the Wilsons sometime between 1 and 5 during the day we are probably at the POOL!

Since the early arrival of Nicole Grace I did not get an opportunity to share some of the pictures from our Lake trip in June so I wanted to share them with you in this post. Also my digital camera was damaged on our cruise and looks like I will have to replace it because that would be cheaper than repairing it - so until that happens the pictures may be fewer but for now enjoy the ones from Lake Travis in Austin and I have some other new ones that I will use later.

In June we went to Kyle and Leanna on a Thursday and spent the day and night hanging out with them and then on Friday went to the Lake. So some of the pictures are of the kids with Austin and some are at the Lake. It is also amazing to me that Nicole was born the very next week!!! (Pics - I took several of the boys with Austin; Christian actually took the picture of Austin in the jungle gym that I thought was awesome; Leanna and I had the idea to try to get all 4 of them holding hands - it was a trial with a 1 year old but we finally got this shot; Caleb and I were with Austin in his room early on Friday morning and I don't remember how Caleb got him to laugh so hard but it was so cute!; Craig riding the jet ski, he also wake-boarded that day, got up on his first try - I don't know why I don't have any pictures of him wake-boarding but he LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to jet ski; me wake-boarding - did better this trip and finally felt more comfortable; Austin with Kyle swimming in the Lake and then yes he is asleep - he had stayed up the whole day all 6 hours on the lake and finally as we were swimming before going to dinner he passed out. *We realized at the end of the day that we never got the tube for the kids to ride on so that is why there aren't any pictures of them but they had a great time swimming in the lake and riding in the boat!)
