Freeman Reunion at Mo Ranch

Last weekend we went to a family reunion for my dad's side. He is 1 of 5 siblings and they were all there along with their children and grandchildren. I think there were around 40 of us altogether. It was a quick trip but definitely worth it!!! We all met at Mo Ranch in Ingram, TX. It is on the Guadalupe River near Kerrville.

Hanging out in the kiddie pool, which was very nice! It would be great to have this pool in my backyard! Chloe thought she was big stuff because she could crawl around and play in the water all by herself!
Aunt Jen took these of me and Chloe Friday night once we got there. I wish Chris would have been there to be in them but he was with the guys.

Chloe got to drive for the first time. It was hilarious because she went absolutely CRAZY! She did not want to leave daddy's lap!

Chloe getting some Uncle Shawn lovin'.

katy and I were playing pepper(bump, set, spike) with the volleyball and were intruded by Chris. It was a lot of fun. I haven't played volleyball in years and it made me realize how much i miss playing.

Our little beauties!!! Chloe accidentally touched Paisley a little too hard and she didn't like it!

The 3 Amigos in a canoe

Becca and Jen got the bright idea to take a canoe out. They were struggling and spinning in circles. Then I thought I would join them for some reason, who knows, pure stupidity maybe! We never flipped so that was a good thing.

These poor guys didn't see us coming and we nailed the dock, twice, and just about knocked them off.

Pool Time with Maddox

Jennifer(not my sister) and I took Chloe and Maddox to the pool this morning. They both enjoyed their float for a little while but then they wanted mommy to hold them!!! My shoulders are about the only place that gets sun anymore when I go to the pool!!!

Brown-Hair Beauties

Chloe and I finally went and visited the new babies in Madisonville. I worked with Sara and Amanda and miss them both like crazy! Luckily Sara has a blog so I keep up with her that way. I'm still trying to convince Amanda that she needs a blog. They both have beautiful baby girls and it was sooooo good to get to visit with them today!

This is Sara's newest addition, Aubrey Kathryn. She is a little over 3 months old.
(Chloe actually let me hold both babies without throwing a fit!!! They were both so sweet!)
This is Amanda's little girl, Kit Presley! She is 2 months old.

Chloe kept turning the bouncer on and off for Aubrey. I'm sure she appreciated that!!!

This is Sara's oldest, Charlie. They were sitting together so cute and as soon as I got the camera ready neither one wanted to cooperate!

My Baby is 11 Months Old

All I can say is we are having FUN! Chloe Grace is such a mess but a good mess! We love her soooooooooooooo much and she has been such a blessing to Chris and I. Her latest trick is blowing kisses. The first time she did it, it was so cute. I put my hand to my mouth and then she put her hand on her cheek trying to copy me. We met my dad for lunch on Tuesday and as he was leaving I told her to blow him kisses and she finally got it right!
We're going to be in and out the rest of the summer. I will post pictures of all of our trips/adventures as soon as I can! (I say adventures because that's what some of it will be...we are going with Chris' entire family, mom and dad, Jody,Casey and their two kids, Mike and Jenny and Linde and us, in a 15 passenger van with all of our luggage in the van with us to Colorado. Please say a prayer for us and our safety and for our sanity!!! I really am excited about it...just a little anxious about the van ride!!!)

Chloe is into EVERYTHING! She is so glad to finally be mobile. The funny thing is now she crawls over to me and pulls up and I try to pick her up but she shakes her head no at me and then crawls off! Whose baby is this!?! What happened to my little girl that never wanted to be put down!?! Believe me, I'm not complaining!!!

1st Pigtails

Chloe finally met Aunt Nana

Yesterday Chloe and I drove down to Tomball with Jennifer and Paisley to spend some much overdue time with my aunt nana and cousins, Matt and Hillary. It has been over 3 years since I have seen any of them and Aunt Nana was just dying to get her hands on these baby girls! We really had a good visit. I just wish we could've had more time.

Chloe and Hillary

Matt was cute with Chloe. He teased Hillary all morning about how she was talking to Paisley and then he didn't want to talk to Chloe while he was holding her because he was afraid he would talk like that!!!

lil Matt, Chloe Grace and Chloe Faith

Chloe Faith is Uncle Matt's sister's little girl. She was very sweet!

Love you and miss you already Aunt Nana, Hillary and lil Matt!

Fun in the Sun

Chris' mom and dad own a condo on Lake Conroe (which they are wanting to sell if anyone is interested) and we went down Wednesday and went swimming and made a trip to Target. Chloe still is really enjoying the water even when it is way past nap time. She eventually gave up and fell asleep but she fights it for as long as she can!

Little cuties!!!

This is our view from the pool. We just wish we had a boat!!!

Chloe's 1st Play Date

A friend from church invited us over to play this morning. They have an awesome swing set and the kids all played really well. Chloe even got to play and slide. She thought she was big stuff!!!

Camden swinging with Addison and Emma

Isn't he a cutie!?! He left the sunglasses on for a long time!

"Is it naptime yet?"

Addison with her stylin shades

Thanks Kayla for sharing your swingset with us! That was very sweet!

Vacation Bible School

Only 2 days left and we are having a blast! Our theme this year is, 'Riders of the Great Roundup' and lots of people have worked really hard to make it all come together. The kids seem to be having lots of fun. This is our big barn in the auditorium. It is absolutely HUGE! The decorating committee really outdid themselves. Everything looks awesome! The first night we had 77 kids and the second night we had 92. Hopefully our numbers will continue to increase. Everyone is invited to come. Dinner starts at 5:30 and we finish at 8:00 pm.
This is in Chris' room. He was in charge of one of the parables, The Unmerciful Servant, and I got to decorate his room...kind of way last minute. My decorating skills from teaching in Madisonville really paid off for this one!!! We were allowed to cover all of our walls with this paper so I was used to putting it up all by myself.

I turned the puppet stage into a barn with a fence. Cheesy, yes, but I didn't have much time to plan it all out.

Camden with his buddy Drew!

I was in charge of crafts and this is our picture corner. One of the crafts was making picture frames so we had to take pictures to put in them.

Our dining hall.

There were lots of people involved in drawing and painting several backdrops for the parables. They all turned out great.

A Few More Firsts

I finally got a picture of Chloe's tooth, well teeth now! Her second one came through Wednesday!


Last night was Chloe's first time away from mom and dad. She stayed the night with her nana and papa and did very well. I don't think she realized I was gone until I saw her today, then she boohooed!
Chloe also went swimming today for her first time. She really had a great time and liked the water. I wasn't sure how she was going to do in cooler water but she adjusted well. She's going to be my little water baby. I just worry about her getting sunburned so I am going to look into getting a float that has a built in canopy for it. That would be just perfect!!!
