Poling Cousins 2011

We just got back from a fun weekend with all of Carson's cousins down in Hunt, TX on the river. We stayed at a fabulous B&B and had a private section of the river all to ourselves!! Well, I'm not as eloquent of a writer as Carson's cousin, Monica, so you can check out her pictures and stories here. She also has a link to the B&B where we stayed.

Check out this place... WOW!
Poor Charlie had a fever on and off all weekend, but here he is enjoying the baby pool in the shade. Check out the view behind him!

He is NOT a fan of sunglasses or hats!!

Charlie was a little afraid of the river, so he agreed to go for a little canoe ride with his Noni. If you can't tell, he's got a TIGHT grip on that life jacket!!

Now we're ready to swim!
Kelsi and Andrew came in from camp. Aren't they cute?!?!

Landon and Conrad had lots of fun together!

We always bring a little craft project to the annual cousins' reunion. This year it was a cute project with fabric and flip flops!
Darling sisters, Audrey and Genny, playing together!
Charlie blowing bubbles with his Uncle Andrew!
Our annual crap-swap is always a blast!
I can't get this picture to turn upright... but Haley was just too cute not to post!
Wendy made Molly, Meredith, me and Monica these adorable aprons!!
A few of the guys climbed up to jump off this rock!
Even though Charlie didn't feel too good most of the weekend, he had a few spurts of happiness!
Love my bear!
Always a good idea to make smores!
Jeff fell out of his canoe... more than once!
Gary and Wendy being cute! Thanks Wendy, Gary and Landon for finding the B&B and for planning a super fun weekend!

Emily & Julianne's 30 Birthday Party

Yes, the title is true! I'm getting old!! Emily's (my dear friend) birthday was the end of May and mine is the beginning of July so we decided to celebrate the big 3-0 together!! Our parents and our husbands hosted a party for us and some of our friends at a new place in Fort Worth called Lucky Strike. We had dinner, bowling and great fellowship with some other couples.
I love this girl!!

Thank you hubbies (and parents) for throwing us such a great party!! Emily and I always laugh about how Carson and Chris are kindred spirits. They even have a hunting lease together starting this fall, so I'm sure we'll have lots of good times together with our families over the years.
Singing us happy birthday
Bowling!!
We can still be fabulous at 30!!
Having fun!
