Last minute trip to Shreveport

For Tyler's vacation this block we were just going to hang around the house. But since our addition isn't done yet and we can't get all the rooms moved around, we decided to head to Shreveport to visit family since we won't be going back for the rest of the summer. We had a great time, got lots of pool time in and ate at all our favorite spots. Once again I didn't do a great job of getting pictures. I always cart my camera around and then forget to use it.

Dyson and Cooper flipping off the diving board at the pool. These two boys have gotten WAY too big!! We really miss them a lot since we've moved to Memphis. They are growing up way too fast! Maybe in a couple years we'll be back and we can have tons more of these fun summer days by the pool or on the river/lake!!

"Aunt Monica will you Tivo me doing a cannon ball?"- Cooper

This video is for you Cooper! :)

We were so glad Papa and Nina drove up one day to come see us. I thought this picture was so cute and then I realized my lens was fogged up from the humidity! Oh well its still a cute one.

After a couple failed attempts due to the weather, we finally made it out on the river.

This was nothing compared to how his hair ended up after we were done.

Caleb loved driving the boat with Papa K. And once he found the horn, it was on. Sorry to all the other people on the river who were honked at! :)

We were so glad Beck happened to be in Shreveport while we were there. We got to see him a lot and even were able to celebrate his birthday with him! We can't wait for him to move to Nashville so he'll be closer and we won't have to wait a year to see him again!
Caleb couldn't get enough of jumping off the back of the boat! He would jump and then get out and jump again. It wore us out getting him up on the boat! You can hear him "counting" before he jumps in.

I LOVE this!!!
This was Caleb around this time last year! Its crazy how much he has changed in a year and how fast it went by!!!

We were supposed to go home on Friday but we were able to convince Tyler to stay until Saturday so we played at Pops and Annie's house all Saturday afternoon before driving home! I've been trying to find sunglasses with the band so Caleb will keep them on longer and haven't been able to besides ordering them. But thanks Aunt Jennifer, she found them for us at Academy! I will say the day before I was there and the lady looked at me like I was crazy when I asked if they had any.

Caleb thinks he's a big as Dyson and Cooper and I love watching him chase after them and play. I wish we were going to be able to come back when Uncle Trey and his crew will be in Shreveport. Caleb would have a ball playing with all his cousins but baby Kennedy will just be making her debut (hopefully!!) I did consider going if she comes early but thats me being crazy! Especially since Tyler will be working.
Caleb spent the whole day, almost, jumping off the hot tub! Like on the boat you can hear him counting before he leaps off. Its funny watching Tyler being all cautious and protective. He's always more cautious than I am. I just let him jump off and then help him swim back to where he can stand.

As you can tell we had a great time. We didn't get to meet up with all our friends so hopefully next trip we can get to see everyone. We do love Memphis but we really miss being home, especially during these summer times when there's so much pool, lake/river time we're missing!!
