Busy Summer

It has been a while since our last post. So I thought I would take you on a quick photo tour of what has been going on with the Massingill Family this summer. Kaitlyn turned 1 on May 2nd and Austin turned 4 on July 7th. So we had a couple of birthday parties to plan and pull off. We also got to spend some time with all the grands this summer. Grandma and Grandpa made the trip up for all the birthday parties and we got to spend a few days with Pop and BeBe at Sea World. The highlight of the summer might have been getting to take the kids to Bracketville to spend some time with Pop and Granny Jean. The kids may not remember it but I know Jenn and I will cherish that we are able to have such family in our lives. So here are a few pics of the Massingill Summer 2008.

Kaitlyn wasn't quite sure what to do with her first cake.

This is one of my favorites, we spent a day at the Arboretum in Dallas.

Austin and Kaitlyn hanging out in our front yard, this was before the temperature spiked at 107f.

Austin brought this big guy in all by himself. He caught him on the first minnow, it was one of only three fish we caught the whole time.

We also went to a Frisco Rough Riders game, it was a great time. We got to hang out with our friends, the Harrison's, at the game.

Grandma came with us to the Science Museum in Dallas. I thought this was a good one of the girls hanging out together.

We spent two days at Sea World in San Antonio, all the kids loved it. Too bad Uncle Casey had to work, but maybe he can go next time.

Kaitlyn and Mommy watching the Dolphins and Beluga whales in the pool.

Mommy and Austin playing in the nets at Sea World.

Austin and Blakely hanging in front of the fountain.

Kaitlyn loved all the different fish in the aquarium.

Austin's first roller-coaster, I think he took it better than Mommy.

I know I had money when we got here.

Granny Jean loved having the kids at her house. She picked up Kaitlyn every chance she got.

Pop and Kaitlyn....I will always cherish these pictures.

Massingill Family Picture. We are a photogenic group aren't we.

Blakely, Casey, and Ashley went to Planet Pizza with us on Austin's Birthday to celebrate him turning 4. They were going out of town and wouldn't be able to be at Austin's party.

Grandma and Grandpa came up for Austin's Spiderman party.

Here is Austin's cake and some of his friends who came to his party. We had the party at ASI Gymnastics and the guy in the picture was the coach for our group. All of us had a great time!

And last but not least, this is our house that we have up for sale. We have decided to move to Malakoff. It would take a whole new blog to give you the reasons, so the short and sweet is..... We are following God and taking a Faith Journey with our family. We sold the house once, but the contract fell through. But thanks to God we have another contract and if all goes well we are closing on August 19th.
