Say Hello to Billy T!

There's a new nephew/cousin in the family—William Trent Holyoak. He's pretty dang adorable if we do say so ourselves. You'll have to visit their blog so you can see more pictures.

Claire—Self-taught Bicycle Rider

Today, Claire "WOWed" us all by showing off her mad bike-riding Skillz. She has been practicing on her own on a small bike from the McGarys, but today she pulled out the full-sized princess bike and hit the road! We were all shocked and awed. Not to be outdone, Carma then jumped on her brother's skateboard and pulled off a pretty impressive kickflip.

Summer Vacation

We just got back from a 3-day Fun-a-palooza in exotic Salt Lake City. We spent one day at Hogle Zoo, one day at Lagoon, and one day at Temple Square. We went with our friends the Wells family, and a good time was had by all. It wasn't Texas, but it will have to do this summer.

Day at Lagoon

The second day of our vacation was spent at Lagoon. Claire proved to be fearless! She rode everything her parents and brother rode, and of all the rides her favorite was the Spider—a roller coaster with a floating car that spins around as you go through all the twists and turns. Here's a few photos of some of the more tame rides we enjoyed.
