Adalyn's 11th Birthday

Adalyn celebrated her 11th birthday in June since we would be on vacation in July. She asked for a pool and pizza party and we used decorations that we already had around the house (For the most part.) I made her a big balloon arch. 

For party favors, we let the girls decorate canvas bags with patches. 

She was ready to party!!!! 

We had a few of her friends over and headed to the neighborhood pool to swim for a bit! 

Lots of fun was had! 

After the girls swam, we went back to the house for pizza, presents, and cake!

I ordered her cake from HEB. She requested a pink heart on top, and for it to be "Lover" themed. I added a few cake toppers that we already had, and it was perfect! 

Then it was time for all the presents! 

The girls made make up bags with patches. 

And then they all made candy salad. 

It was so fun celebrating our 11 year old!!!!

Megan and Adalyn went to football camp with DJ one day in June. I'm pretty sure they were the only girls there but they had a blast! 

And I'm pretty sure boys were trying to get their phone numbers. 

We had a fun girls shopping day. 

And these two were off to church camp! 

While big sisters were away, this girl got to play!!! 

DJ also went out of town for a work trip, so this girl came with me to work, and then we went to get her ears re-pierced, which is what she wanted for her birthday! 

She was so happy and Rowan made the process very simple! 

The girls were having lots of fun, but this is the only picture I have from church camp because it was on the instagram page! 

And then we all celebrated Texas entering in to the SEC! 

We ended the night with an epic fire work and drone show.

June was a busy and exciting month for us! The girls were out of school and we were ready for Summer to begin!!! 

We started off with a week at VBS. Megan helped me lead a group, and Adalyn had her last year attending; next year, she'll be able to help! 

She went to work with me while Megan babysat. 

We had a cancellation in our day, which left us time to grab CFA and run by Sephora! 

That night was another night of VBS fun! I do think Megan had moer fun than the kids! 

The following week, Gretchen packed for her mission trip! I couldn't believe I was letting my 16 year old out of the country without me, but she was so ready and so excited! 

We also spent a lot of days at the water park! 

The night before she left; we headed to church to make sure all the travel documents were ready and that bags were packed and within the weight limit. 

Gretchen and her friend, Annabel were ready for their trip! We dropped them off super early in the morning for their trip and for the most part I held it together really well. 

Back to the water park wtih a friend. 

And DJ and I got in a date night! 

We went to eat and then headed to S. Congress to watch the bats come out from the bridge. I think we were too early in the season though. 

Meanwhile, Gretchen was having such a great time in Honduras. 

Megan and I headed out to the Moody Center for the Noah Kahan concert. 

And then we went ot pick Gretchen up from the airport! 

You'd think Megan was so excited to see her sister, but she ran right past her to give Ms. Jennifer a hug! 

But that's okay, that meant I could hug her first! 

We drove through Whataburger at 1 am, because she was starving!! 

And we celebrated Father's day together!!!!
