Well, the inevitable has come. I turned 30 years old! So far so good. Mark took me to a great sushi/japanese restaurant on my actual birthday and then we enjoyed time with both sides of the fam on the weekends. We hung out at the lake with the Beckler family the weekend before my b-day (Labor day). They surprised me with a great trip to the aquarium. There is nothing better than seeing your little boy awed into to silence! ha! He loved it and I loved it that he loved it! What a great trip. (the sarts (sharks) and pilgwims (penguins)were his favorite.
Jackson, Will and I in a shark cage. 
There was the coolest butterfly exhibit where they had just released hundreds of live butterflies.
Will, Bryan, Jaime, and Charlie
Thanks Beppie and Bo for a great day.
Totally happy and exhausted from a couple of hours of fun.
So to prove that I'm 30 and still cool, I decided to try wake boarding. Focus on the word TRY, because it will take me the whole year of 3-0 to be able to conquer this goal. HAHA. I really had a great birthday. The second weekend of my WEEKLONG celebration was at the lake with the Watkins side. CRAZY!!!
Jackson's first ride behind a boat. He loved it!
Jase watching dad ski....my insanity inspiration...haha! loveya dad. You are definately still cool.
Just to catch up on my almost two year old...he loves hats, shoes and sunglasses...in no certain order.
He also loves his new four-wheeler that his POP fixed up for him. He is so big!
And lastly we are all still enjoying some great DAWG time each weekend with the football games and friends. Check out my new addition to my friends list on my blog. Definately cool!haha.
In conclusion, please keep Mark in your prayers. Due to low numbers of children at his school, the county has decided that Mark along with one other teacher must be transferred to a school in need across the county. This has been a difficult transfer for Mark-moving his entire classroom, moving to a school that is the middle of renovation with a room that has minimal air conditioing, and just trying to settle down into his first year of teaching. We know that God can work through this in fact God has provided and already used Mark in many ways. Also pray for his first class of kids at Tunnel Hill-they also miss Mark terribly and are having a tough time. Thanks so much and love you guys.

His classroom.
Good old dad (POP) helped us finish off the summer with a bang. He got us tickets to Lake Winnie amusement part. We absolutely had a blast a blast with the kids.
Nick, Evie and Stacy (I think the exhaust was getting to Nick)
Thanks Pop!
Here is Jackson just seeing Hairy Dawg...totally freakin' out-the phases they go through. 
We also got to see Spike. (acutally Jeremy Talley at a Bulldog meeting...totally cool!)
Randy...bless his soul...fell into a bit of bad fortune...being pooped on the very first day that he arrived in San Antonio. He was a good sport of course, but we had a good laugh.
Mark and some of his school mate buddies.
We also had the pleasure of making our way again to the Beckler lake house for the 4th. We had a great time with family and friends and of course being with the cousins....
Sweet Will
Fiesty Charlie
The three munchkins...never a dull moment.
We have also had the opportunity to share some time with the Watkins' side. We had a great time in Florida this past week.
Of course the guys had to have a little fun.
He and his beloved Jay-Jay playing in the largest sand box ever.
The boys had a great time with their pop. He is so patient and totally involved with everything they do. I don't know who enjoys the other the most!
Winding down.
