Texas De Brazil

At the beginning of the summer a few of us bought a groupon that gave us 50 dollars worth of food for 25 at this Brazilian restaurant...little did we know that each plate was $43. SO since we will probably never eat at a nice place like this ever again we took it all in...literally...I probably ate a full animal. It was delicious.

We took time helping each other get ready before. It was a hoot.

They have a trapeze lady entertain as she gets down a bottle of wine.

We also hit the riverwalk one last time. 

Earlier that day Naomi & Allie threw a darling baby party for Amanda who is having her 3rd baby in september. It was fun to get together with everyone and eat tasty goods.

I think these pictures are funny...it took us a few takes to get it right.

3 Months

My little boy is a little over 3 months now. 

Can't believe how fast he is growing. 

Just lately he has started to laugh and I love it! 

We've also got a talker on our hands. 

We have hilarious conversations through-out the day. 

I'm just amazed at how quickly they grow and develop. 

Every day is something new and exciting. 

Probably only to us but hey he's our first :)

Cabin Week 2011

The always anticipated week of the year has already come and gone! 

 Caleb and I were the last ones to arrive.

We came right in time for my parents cute Family home evening lesson on being rock solid. 

Rock Solid as an individual, in the family, and in the gospel. It was our nightly cheer....

Kesler Family Rock Solid!!

The boys came up with ridiculous challenges

 Cameron and Cami brought the Banana this year and it was a hit. 

My cute little nieces

Reid and Dieter reunited

 We had a shoot out with different challenges.

 We had a Just Dance 2 tournament

 It came down to my mother and I

 I came out with the W. :)

Every night when the kids would go down, we played "crap on your neighbor" for lack of a better name. It's a tense card game and we always have penalties for the 3 bottom losers. Such as spit takes, the dreaded rock walk, hot tub in your clothes, and a midnight lake dip.

Thanks to my dad caleb finally strapped on the skis! 

We had a great time and once again can't wait till next year!!

Blessing Day

On July 24th little Reid given a name and a very sweet blessing from his Daddy. I have always loved hearing baby blessings, there is always such a sweet Spirit and such a wonderful bonding experience for a Father and baby. It was particularly special being my own son and hearing the sweet words come from my husband. Caleb did such a beautiful job and kept his composure until he sat down and let the tears trickle down his face. We are lucky to have such wonderful family come support and be there for these special occasions.  

 

I had Reid fed and asleep all ready to go and Cabe said that he woke up right as they got up front and just stared at him as if he was listening intently. :)

Then was grumpy for pictures.

Like Father like Son

Thanks to my bestie Whitney for taking pictures! She's rather fabulous 

check out her blog here .

Another Kesler music video!

Friday!

National Dance Day 2011

If you watch So you think you can dance, you may know what National Dance Day is. They post a couple routines that you can learn and you can send in your videos. So I learned it and taught my family over our week at the cabin. I was very impressed!

My Sunshine

The Side Smile

The Stare

And the smile that makes my day everyday.

People always told me my life would change after I had a baby. I knew that. But I didn't know how much it would change ME as well as Caleb and I as a couple. It truly is remarkable. 

It was the 4th with no fireworks...

Sounds like a book title...

Nothing can beat last years 4th of July in Nashville...

but we still managed to have a good time. We put our six flags season tickets to use and went to the water park. 

Take a look at this slide...it is an absolute hoot.

Fully enjoyed it!

 This little boy has gotten to do way more than I did in my first 18 years of life! Hope he appreciates it :)

We had an office BBQ that evening. 

Don't let me fool you...this picture is of a TV. No fireworks allowed in San Antonio due to drought. So Macy's Firework show will have to do.

Hope you had a great 4th! 

So grateful to live in this great country and so glad we have a day to celebrate it!
