Summer Bucket List

       Hi, I am still here just buried under home improvement projects and life in general. Have y'all seen the news lately? Texas had a month straight of rain, nope that doesn't quite work, Texas had a month straight of downpours. We were basically flooded from tip to top here. We are grateful that these storms weren't devastating for us personally, but know that there are so many people still dealing from the events. We were lucky enough to only lose one huge tree in the backyard and it missed the house & power line! We also learned that our septic gets backed up if its too wet, so we have learned to use water and um enjoy? the smell of sulphur. 

But, it is June already which means summer is officially here! We are ready for the sunshine, the lakes are full, cook outs, and spending too much time at the pool. Speaking of lakes... Y'all our lake is over capacity now. It hasn't been this full since 2007, it is actually still closed to all boating and extracurricular traffic to avoid flooding homes. The mosquitos are loving the swamp grounds and my legs are not. I am hoping the mosquitos tone down on their excitement to bite, because I am not trying to look like I have chicken pox. 

Our summer will be packed full I am sure, but I wanted to write down some of my goals for the summer.

Callyn Avery

     Sunday May 10, 2015 we got to welcome a new baby into our family! Cam's oldest brother Coby and his wife, Bradey, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. We made a fast and furious trip to OKC driving through rainstorm, thunderstorms, and craziness to see this precious baby girl.

Callyn Avery you are so beautiful and we are so glad we could be there to see your first day! We can't wait to watch you grow. You will be a loving, kind, and wonderful little girl like your big sister Adelaide!

Speaking of your big sister she loves you so much already! She loved seeing, touching, and talking about you. "My Baby Callyn" were the words I heard out of her all day long. You also have a bunch of cousins that are so excited for you to be here! This big family you were born into may overwhelm you a bit at first, but I am sure you will love it! Your Aunts and Uncles are so happy you are here as well.
