Tetlow Family Reunion

Family Pictures

Last day of tube wars. Of course Alex and his brothers had to make the last few times count and try to knock each other off or make each other crash.

Everyone just hanging out after dinner.

We love our camper!

Playing at the beach. We could not get Emma out of the water. She loved it. This is such a difference from last summer when she was scared of the water.

We celebrated my nephew Steven's 12th birthday while we were there.

Noodle wars and hanging out. The kids used the water noodles as swords and loved to gang up on one person at a time to make their attack.

More tubing wars.

Smores!!

Playing at the park. Even in the big gross puddles of rainwater.

Alex's brother brought his boat. It is pretty big. We could take 13 on the boat and then we would also pull a bunch of people on tubes behind. Techincally we had more than we were supposed to but it was fun to see everyone on the tube and all the good crashes in the water. Basically Alex and his three older brothers are just a bunch of big kids that love to try to knock each other off the tubes. It was pretty funny.

Riding bikes!!

Costa Vida in Dallas for me. This is one of my favorite places to eat and I miss from AZ. The only one in Texas is near Dallas and happened to be on our way to our trip. Yay!!

Every summer Alex's family gets together for a reunion/camping trip. This year we met at a lake in Kansas. Since his family is spread out in different states we usually try to find somewhere in the middle to camp which is usually somewhere in the mid west. There are 13 cousins and they all have a blast every year playing. Here are some of the highlights.

Happy 4th of July

We went to the 4th of July festival near our house. All though it was not organized very well and really crowded the girls had a great time. They got their faces painted which they always love and they had an insect booth and Paige held a Tarantula and a cetipede. So gross. Emma wouldn't she was too nervous but Paige didn't even flinch. She must be tougher than me.

First Cereal Feeding

We tried rice cereal today for the first time. I'd say Chase did pretty well. Towards the end he got the hang of the spoon. He had quite a little audience cheering him on. I think Emma was the most excited and Paige thought his food looked yummy (Eww gross!) This is my first child who sucks their thumb. This seems to be a problem. Every time I would go to stick a bite in his mouth his thumb would beat me to it. I may have to ask the girls to hold his hands when I feed him from now on.
