Summer Wrap-Up

Well this happens every year to me, our summers are just too busy and off schedule for me to keep up with the blog. So with only one week until school, I thought it was time for a little Summer Wrap-Up. We are so blessed to be able to go so many places with our family.

We hit summer with a bang, and on the day school was out and hit the road to Surfside Beach, TX. It has become our Fieseler Vacation Tradition to do a beach trip every year. I know it is something the kids will remember forever from their childhood. I didn't take a camera (mother of the year) so these were some pics I scavenged up from others. We rent a house beachside and just hang out for three or four days, relaxing and soaking up some sun. We are so lucky to still have our Nana with us on these trips.


Next up was a bitter sweet trip to Wyoming where my dad & step mom live. Many of you know that he left us this year, so this was the trip we all got together and put him to rest. He was building this log cabin for them. He peeled and laid each long by hand and was ready for the roof when he left us. Many people have pitched in to help see that his project gets finished for Jo before this winter. I know dad is very happy watching over all of us. It was great to have the whole family there pitching in and gettin' r done! July 4th in Lander in something like I have never experienced, we will for sure be heading up there for more of them!


Then last, but not least was Colton's Legoland trip. I gave this kid the choice of Disney World or Legoland and of course Legoland it was. I have to say the new hotel is everything a kid could want and more, us adults were kind of left hanging...lol Colton had a blast with 4 days all about him! Since it is right on the coast, we did manage one day at the beach.


I do have to say, I never heard "I'm bored" once this summer! With the swimming lessons, robotics camp, golf camp and trip to Oklahoma to visit family to fill in between trips. He hardly had any down time this year. As for me, I am ready to get back to a some what steady schedule. Even though there is never a dull moment around here! How was your summer?

Cub-O-Ree 2012 & "Harley"

This passed weekend was a big one! We had our 2nd year Cub-O-Ree campout with the cub scouts and we took the new jeep "Harley" for her first road trip! For those who don't know we had a wipe-out on our motorcycle a year and a half ago. We decided it would be best to fore-go that life for a while and had been on the look-out for an old jeep. Last month we finally found her, Terry has been making sure everything was up to speed with the motor so we could take her this weekend. And so it was....we packed up everything we need for 3 days and off we went! Lookin' like gypsies.......:)




We didn't let the threat of severe storms get in our way of a little fun in the wilderness!


And our "hitched" license plate from almost 10 years ago when we got married in Las Vegas finally has a home! :)


Our little cub scout was ready to go earn some ranks, loops, and badges! Let the fun begin!


Tug-O-War was one of the highlights of the day! The boys even pulled against the adults and almost won! Determination is a great thing!


Last activity of the day learning to shoot "pole position" (on your belly) I think this was all the boys favorite part. And I learned more about the history of BB guns than I could care about (inside joke)!

We were very lucky with the weather, it didn't rain until late Sat. night/early Sun. morning. Then it was quite the storm! I thought it was going to be fine, then I felt the first drip on my head :/ It got worse & worse....I tried to convince Colton that it was like being on Survivor....he wasn't going for that at all! At least it stopped that morning so we didn't have to ride home (open top jeep) in the rain! In fact the ride home was really nice, it was cool, but the sun was out....and so was Colton!


You know it was a good time when the kids are worn out!

September Round Up

Since I dumped my pictures from my camera, I thought I would do a little re-cap picture montage of September to get you all caught up with a little of what's been going on.

We started of the month with a Labor Day weekend trip to visit Terry's aunt & uncle in Oklahoma. It is so beautiful and peaceful at their place. We did a little fishing and actually caught one. Colton's face is priceless! Let it be known that this was my pole that they were "watching" while I went for a wine refill...LOL





The next event was for my very special friend Melissa who was turning 40. It was a beautiful summer night with food, friends, wine, and of course cupcakes! I just love putting things like this together, I have so much fun!





Last, we finished off the month with some nightlife in the Fort Worth Stockyards with the Pistol Annies at Billy Bobs. They put on a great show and I just love that they are just up there having a good time and don't take themselves too serious at all. They are mine kind of people! Rock on Annies!



Have a great weekend ya'll! I'm off to finish the details on the baby shower I am having here this weekend.
