Lunar Golf and Riding Those furr-mobiles at the Mall

Dakota's Photo Session

This morning, I took Dakota to one of my favorite running trails. I took a few images of her, she was such a sport and excited to be outside.

              

Cheyenne's First Day of First Grade

"I'm nervous-excited!" That's what Cheyenne told me this morning. She loves school. I can't wait to hear all about her first day.

We almost missed an important event

Yesterday, was meet the teacher night. We almost missed it. I looked it up online prior to going to make sure I had all the details, but I guess I wrote down the wrong time. Luckily, I ran into a friend and she mentioned the correct time. We only had 10 minutes before it was over, but since it was a come and go type of event - we basically missed the rush - so it was a win.

Cheyenne's best friend is not in her new class this year. She almost cried when she found out, but in some ways, I think it's a good lesson for her to learn. This will give her an opportunity to make new friends. It's time for her to branch out. It's scary for her, but I know she'll make new friends.

The girls and I are still enjoying my new lens. Here are a few snapshots we took after meet the teacher.

Pretty New Lens 85mm 1.2

Here are some of the first few shots I took with the 85mm. I use the 50mm, but already, I'm liking this  85 more. At the bottom is a video recording. I love the how the frame rate looks. I can't wait to pair this with the gh4. Okay, that's enough nerdy talk, here are some adorable pics of my girls. This week we have meet the teacher and next week, Cheyenne returns to school.

Weekend in Houston

We took a road trip. We took Trey's super duty truck, which was a win for me - since I didn't have to drive at all!

We spent the weekend visiting with Steve and Linda. They've lived in Houston for a few years, but this was our first trip to their house. We usually see them a few times a year in Abilene or Ft. Worth. We are so glad we made the trip to see them and their boys!

Friday night, we grilled at their place and later went out for dessert - at Vintage Park. There was live music and the kids really enjoyed that.


This week was a recovery run week for me. Friday before we left town, I ran my long run, which was only 8 miles. The following morning, Linda and I went for a 4 mile run around The Woodlands. It wasn't as humid as I was expecting. After our run, I grabbed some freshly brewed coffee from H-E-B (the little things that make me so happy).


That afternoon, we went to a water park, where Linda and her boys have a summer membership. For dinner we went to MOD pizza. We ended our night with cocktails and shots (no shots for me) at their place and watched 2 episodes of Wet Hot American Summer.

Dakota enjoyed herself so much, she said she was going to stay with them forever. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the toys and also the trampoline in their backyard.
