Ashtons 1st day of School 8/9/06

Wow... school already... 3rd grade already.... Ashton was really excited about his first day. Mark and I both took him to shool this morning. He came home really excited about his new teacher.

Beating the Texas heat!

While Daddy works in the backyard the boy enjoy themselves in the fort and making their own slip N slide.

National Night Out

Is there a better way of spending National Night out??? Our community had a party at the pool. We decided that we would spend it in the pool.

Sled riding in Texas at 107 degree

Who says that you cant sled ride in Texas. The best part of buying something new that is very large is the box that it came in. The kids had a blast sledding down the back yard. Ashton always takes things to another level. He enjoyed skateboarding on the large pieces of cardboard.

Installing our outdoor kitchen

What would we have done if Charlie would have been at work???? Mark and Charlie worked on both of their outdoor kitchens for 3 days. They prepared for the concrete, poured it, leveled it and the finished product is yet to come.

This is our last long weekend before school starts. We went to San Antonio. On our way we stopped at a cavern that was really nice. In San Antonio we went to Sea World which was really nice. We also went to Schliterbaun which is very over rated. And the best part of the trip for mommy was the shopping at the outlets in San Marco. Wow... I had a blast. We went with our friends that live across the street from us. Our families had a great time together.

Ashton at Camp Sooner Church Camp

Mr. Neil was God sent for Ashton.... Mr. Neil was Ashton's counselor at camp. Ashton did not want to come home. He did not brush his teeth or take a shower for the 3 days that he was there. Maybe next year he will remember to do that...

Turner Falls

We enjoyed our stop at Turner Falls on our way to take Ashton and Bradley to Church Camp. The boys really enjoyed the water.

Ethan and McKenzie: McKenzie is our new neighbor. Ethan gets really excited when McKenzie comes over to play. They have a really good time together. Only one problem... they both want to be the boss.....

Go Rangers!!! We have been enjoying the professional sports that Fort Worth has to offer. These pictures are from a Family Game night for our church. Mark planned this as an outting for our church. There were 50 people there from our church.

We have really enjoyed the pool in our subdivision. Mark takes the boys everyday and some days 2 times. He so willingly takes several of the other children on our street. It sure is nice on a hot Texas day.

Breakfast with Mickey

This is the morning before we left and Ethan finally came out of his shell. He didn't put a napkin over his face when the characters came to see him.

Just pretending .... 

Magic Kingdom

This is the home of Ariel. We all enjoyed getting wet to cool off. 

Animal Kingdom... We were afraid that Disney might want to keep our children to feed them to the animals. It was very crowded at Animal Kingdom... 

Aunt Beth can you help me with my hellions!!! Help

Disney with the Liebdzinski family.... Reality is that our children did a really good job. We kept them out pretty late. Ethan took boxing lessons from Ryan and Logan. Michelle (my neice) and I. It was like we were never seperated. We just picked up where we left off. We hade a great time. It is really scary how much we are alike.

Ethan's 3rd Birthday at Disney

Ethan could not believe that Cinderella was going to celebrate his birthday with him. His facial expressions were worth a million dollars. 

Our summer vacation to Disney

Magical Disney.... We all enjoyed our trip to Disney. We went with my neice Michelle and her family. Our 4 boys had a meeting the fist day there. They were collaborating on when and who was to misbehave. All and all we had a great time. We went from 8am - 10pm almost everyday. It was magical.
