Cheer Camp

Lauren went to Rouse Cheer Camp with her friends!

She loved learning the cheers.

It was so fun to watch her perform!

She loved her cheerleading coach.

We were shocked when our tiny little girl was a base and not a birdie!  Lol! She had so much fun and wants to do it again next season.

Mother's Day 2015

Happy Mother's Day to us!

After church we headed to Felisha and Jared's to swim.  It was a wonderful Mother's Day!

Kittens!

We started our summer break off in Wimberley!  Trent and Trevor came to help us at Market Days.

We were quite the full house with 2 adults, 2 teenagers, 3 kids and two dogs.

Saturday morning a vendor found two tiny kittens snuggled on her merchandise.  We quickly scooped them up and took care of them. Since there was no sign of the mother, we had to decide what to do with them. 

Since Eric loves cats and Lauren has been obsessed with cats since birth, we decided to get them some kitten milk and tiny bottles while we tried to find the mom.

They were so tiny!  We guess they were 2 1/2 weeks old.

 After looking for the mom for a day and a half, we decided to keep them.  We figured we could give them a happier life than being a feral cat.  We actually saw a bobcat and a fox at Market Days and that sealed the deal for me!  The kids named them Wimber and Summer.  Wimber for Wimberley and Summer since we found them the first week of Summer.

Lauren said "I wished on every star for a kitten and it finally came true!".

Ethan was happy too.

The kitties will be outdoor cats.  When they were tiny, we kept them in a cage when we weren't playing with them or feeding them.  Now they roam in the garage when we aren't home and play with us in the backyard when we are.  Since we live on a greenbelt, we will put them in the garage each night to keep them safe.

We bottle fed them for 5 weeks!

We were worried about how Sadie would be with them, but she has been amazing!  She's a great mom!

Roxy loves to play with them.

While I was at work one day, Eric and the kids made little boxes for them to play in.  They loved it!

Best summer entertainment ever!

We sure love our little kitties! 

Our Playa del Carmen getaway

When our friends invited us to join them on their trip to Playa del Carmen, we couldn't resist!  We dropped the kids, two dogs and two kittens off with Eric's parents and hopped on a plane.

The kids were excited to spend some time with Gege and Grandaddy. 

We were so happy when we landed in Cancun!

Happy to see our friends!

The beach was filled with seaweed, so we spent all our time at the pool.

We loved laying in the sun!  My shade kept falling on my face though.  Lol!

All dressed up for dinner.

We had the best time with our group.  It was so fun to make new friends!

Our friends had towels folded into shapes of swans and peacocks.  We had nothing the first couple days, and then this showed up!  We named her Creepy Baby. 

When this showed up the next day, we died laughing and hoped it wasn't an omen.  

Calliendo de beso

We shopped in Playa Del Carmen for gifts for the kids.  

We went on an amazing excursion too.  We drove ATVs, swam in a cave, zip lined and swam with sea turtles. 

We rode through the jungle on ATVs. It was super bumpy, but fun!

We swam in this beautiful cave.  It was so cold!  

Chris was standing on a bridge and really isn't a giant.

Zip lining through the jungle was fun too! 

My favorite was swimming with the sea turtles! We saw calamari, big sting rays and lots of turtles. 

We had the best time and can't wait to go back next summer!
