The latest and greatest from Crystal, Jared, Jackson, Lila & Cameron!
Then this morning we got all dressed up again...
snapped a few pics of the kids...
and then a few more...
and just one more because my sweet baby girl decided to sit up for the first time!
and went to church at Lakepointe Firewheel for the dedication during our regular church service.
It was a very special day for all of us. Lila was especially thrilled with being onstage!
Jackson drove his John Deere tractor and Miss Lila joined him in the umbrella stroller. It was a big afternoon for Lila--first time in this stroller (the view is so much better!) and first time wearing sun glasses! As far as we could tell, she was thrilled with both. 
My little longhorn made a pit-stop in a neighbor's yard to put his horns up. Gotta love the enthusiasm. Go Horns!!
After a while it got cloudy, so we took off Lila's shades. By the look on her face, maybe I should have left them on! She did look pretty darn cute in those hot pink shades.
When we got home we weren't ready to go inside, so we hung out in our backyard. I asked my personal photographer if he could snap a pic of me and my little munchkin. It took a few shots to get her in the picture...
and he cut off some of my head trying to do so, but overall I was impressed with his skills!
He could only take a few pics, though. Afterall, pool work was calling his name.
Lots of our friends were able to join us and we had such a good time. Lila was ready to party with her new friends. 
Chilling in the spa with Taylor and Sarah and all our kids. Lila lasted about half an hour and then had to go take a nap--socializing is hard work, ya know.
When we asked Jackson his favorite part about our party, he did not hesitate and said, "Baby Abby." So glad that Abby and her parents, Ryan & Julie, could make it! 
There was plenty of hanging in the pool...
and of course Jackson did some cleaning. Guess he wanted to make sure Teagan and JP had a nice place to play over by the yard:)
The big boys really enjoyed their bean bag game...
and I'm pretty sure the hubdog and his buddy Dusty were the grand champions.
After the sun went down we headed inside to watch UT beat Tech. Hook 'Em!! Jackson hung out some more with his new BFF...Price Pointer! These boys are two peas in a pod. Price taught him many jokes and Jackson just ate it up. Then Jackson started trying to make up jokes of his own. Even though the punch lines were out of order he would laugh so hard at himself, which made us laugh at him, too. Thanks again to all of you who came to visit Saturday night. We all had so much fun!
She played it cool at first and let Sawyer gaze at her for a bit.
Her excitement was pretty obvious. She tested the waters just a little bit by playing footsies...
when he didn't holler or run away, she moved in for the all-important PDA...holding hands!
Great success!!
"Hey Mom, I think Sawyer is so sweet!"
A girl's gotta keep her options open, though, so Lila was ready to meet boy #2. 
Now that she's had a little practice she wasn't nearly as nervous the second time around. 
" Oh dear, too much, too soon?"
"Who needs to recline, the view is way better if I sit up straight!"
She's also been growing quite a bit. By my estimations, she grew a whole inch in only 1 month. Pretty sure it was all in leg length.
She is developing the cutest personality. She always has a smile on her face and is very flattering to her mom and brother--we feel like the best comedians around. Maybe not Wanda Sykes funny, but pretty darn close.
It's a good thing she's so cute. Just tonight I thought she was giving me kisses, (something else she has learned to do) so I was giving them back. At the last second I turned my head and she spit up all over me...down my shirt, on the front of my shirt, etc. I still saw this as a victory, though, because had I not just turned my head, that spit up would have gone straight into my mouth! Jared thought it did and was trying so hard not to laugh at me. Guess it would have been a little funny. Gross. But funny.
Waving to all her fans. We love you, baby girl. Spit up and all.
We found this right before we left for the lake. It's a sun hat that we bought back in January during our trip to San Diego. She loved it!
The boys began the weekend by testing out the kiddie pools. 
They played soccer with Uncle Andrew and loved chasing after him.
That evening we all went for a boat ride. The two little ones fell asleep almost immediately. 
After we got back, Uncle Scott got to work on the grill. We all dined on ribs and cheeseburgers and they were delicious. About halfway thru the meal Jackson declared, "I want to be like my Uncle Andrew," and took off his shirt. Andrew thought it was pretty funny, so he decided to join him.
The next morning Jackson and Sam were so glad to see each other:)
Miss Lila had fun chatting with Uncle Scott...
Jackson got ready to hit the beach...
and Lyndsie entertained Miss Lila.
Our fam on the back of the boat. Lila got to wear a bikini for the first time. Love it.
Once again, the boat ride put her right to sleep. No prob! All the guys had already been over to the beach and set up our tent. Sweet girl took a little siesta and then was ready to enjoy the day.
While Lila was napping, Sam found the beach toys and played in the sand with his mama.
Jackson hung out with his new girlfriend, Lyndsie. Sorry Uncle Scott, you may be replaced soon!She was a very good sport about doing anything Jackson asked of her. He had her tying ropes all over the boat and doing various tasks. The kid just has to work, work, work. 
We did manage to get him out of the water for this dual family pic. Thanks again Sierras for coming to visit us. We had such a great time!
