These pictures are in reverse order. We have been blowing and going this summer. We have been lucky to get to spend more time with my family. We started out this blog (from the bottom) at my cousin Jordan's graduation from Idalou High. He is going to ACU in the fall. Watch out ladies, he is quite a catch. We flew home with my sister, and went camping with the Oranges. It was Camille and Olivia's first time in a tent. We went out on Brandon's dad's boat in Lake Grapevine. The next weekend was the girl's Circus birthday party. We had so much fun, but it went by way too fast. The next Wednesday was Camille's first dance recital. I was the "stage mom", which meant I looked after the class backstage. When I walked them onstage, I had a small urge to run out on the stage and do a dance of my own. Who would have thought that I would miss old Barbra Craig's School of Dance? We went to eat with Brandon's family and the Smith's afterward. That next weekend we loaded up to spend Father's Day in Galveston with some friends. We had an amazing time. The next weekend, we flew to Lubbock to celebrate my grandparents, Ron and Loretta Farquhar's 50th wedding anniversary. It was at my aunt's home. My mother and aunt threw quite a party and we had a blast. Today is Olivia's birthday and I will post a montage to her soon. I love being busy and getting to see so many loved ones. This weekend we will be home, back at our church. Brandon just told Camille "leave mom alone, she is blogging. She is bragging about her family on the computer when she could be spending more quality time with them." Guess I better go!

Whew! You guys have been busy! Looks like you are having a blast. Your sweet girls are growing up so fast and are just adorable. Tell Brandon that every mom needs a few minutes away to blog brag about their babies!
Busy, busy, busy! The pic of Brandon and Camille makes me laugh, they are so funny. You look gorgeous in the picture with Camille at the dance recital! Fun times. I do need to defend my family picture though and say that we are wearing swimsuits! Ha...think what you want!
Okay, that made me tired, what a busy girl you have been. Michael gives me a hard time too when I am blogging.
