Mi Hombre

Let me take a minute or two and give much respect to...What a mighty good man Cody is so awesome. He is always getting people wet. We all love it.. once we actually are wet. He loves inviting over our nieces and nephews. He loves playing with the kids and coming up with cool activities or crafts for them to do. Like these home decor balloons he morphed into water balloons for the kids. He did have some fun balloon games for them this summer.

Fun and funny were definitely a few of the things that won me over.

He is also so creative and and smart. He always wins at the word and puzzle games (I've decided that "puzzling" is a great trait for a train builder.) He never complains about his job, or supporting the fam. I am super thankful I get to stay home with our kids at this point in their lives. I love his quick wit and he is really creative and crafty too. Another great thing about Cody is he is thoughtful. He is good at going the extra mile to make people feel loved.
We love you Querido.


p.s. thanks for doing laundry today! xo

Hey! Rocco!

When we got home from CA we were greeted by the Locke and Katie Anderson Armanie Rocco family. They are staying with us for the summer while Locke interns in Dallas. Its fun having them here. Katie is helping us eat healthier, hence Ezra's face

The boys loooved the water. IT had been cool but turned out to be perfect at the beach

The black sand was sticking to the boys it was awesome. At one point Rowdy looked bearded

I buried the boys then Ezra decided to itch his nose/mouth While I was burying them I really thought they were both going to fall asleep!

How Elliot spent most of her time at the beach

It was a good day.

Elliot was famous at Dad's school! It was soo sweet all the little girls wanted to touch her and play with her. Cody, shortly after this picture, ditched Elliot to go play soccer with the school kids.
