I'm sure my 3 readers have really been worried about me since I haven't spent much time blogging this summer!! Summer 2010 has been a fun, busy, long and HOT summer! (Texas schools starting back may be just around the corner but it will continue to be HOT for at least 2 more months!!) Here's a little Re-Cap of 2010....which includes a whole lot of this and little bit of that!! But somehow the pictures will only tell just a portion of the fun it was!
MAY 2010
It all started with a whole lot of this in Israel......
It all started with a whole lot of this in Israel......
THIS woman made our journey to Israel unbelievably amazing !
We spent a whole lot of time walking where Jesus walked at places like THIS!
THAT boat is what we sailed in to see where Jesus fished with his disciples!
And THAT tree was simply amazing!! We prayed in the Garden where Jesus prayed!
And we spent a whole lotta time doing THIS!! And we all truly met God there!!
JUNE 2010
In June we met up with most of Robin's family for a Beach Bash 2010 Reunion!
THIS is a HUGE group!! The Marler/James Crew! (most of them anyway)
THAT very skinny woman in the middle is Robin's sister, Nancy.
She loves her daughter Molly and grandson Brayden.
THIS was what the kids did the most - they loved playing in the sand...
And loved THAT! Splashing in the ocean! (Galveston gulf has the most beautiful water - not!)
And Mama's did lots of THIS!
While most of the adults did just THAT....stayed in the shade!
JUNE 2010
Then Robin went on Year #2 Backpack Trip in the Colorado Rockies!
He truly loves THIS week away in the mountains ! And hiking the Rockies!
But THIS is his absolutely his favorite thing to do!! He loves to fish for these!
And then he cooks them in a fire like this for everyone to enjoy! All his fellow hikers loved THAT!
He got to wake up to THIS every morning!
He also got to stop by THIS church in Breckenridge that we helped build from 1982-84!
JULY 2010
Then our two oldest Grands that we rarely get to see anymore - came for a visit!

Where Pappy got to do some more of THIS!
And the kids got to do LOTS of THIS!
And the girls did lots of THIS!
And our GrandGirls looked precious like THAT!
And THIS!
And there was a whole lotta THIS going on!
And quite a bit of THAT!
There was even time for a little of THIS!
See what I mean!! THIS kept happening!
And Talent Night brought some of THIS!
And the Cheerleaders brought some of THAT!
But the very best was THIS!!!
Or I think it's really THIS!!
JULY 2010
When we came home from our Garner/Frio River trip we had two weeks of keeping the Grands ahead of us!!

Brandon and Sharla headed to Belize for a little R&R!
(THIS was the only picture I could find of their trip!!)
While the parents were in Belize...we did a whole lotta THIS AND THAT with these 3!

While we stayed with all the youngin's we had a lot of THIS going on! More Cousin time!!
AUGUST 2010
Then after 5 days at Brandon and Sharla's house....we headed to our next babysittin' duty at Ashley's and Conn's!
Then after 5 days at Brandon and Sharla's house....we headed to our next babysittin' duty at Ashley's and Conn's!
We had to take over all the parenting duties so they could go for a ride on THIS!
And when they got to a beautiful beach on a faraway island somewhere in the Caribbean...
they would always do THIS!
And they walked along romantic beaches like THAT!
And THIS is who we snuggled with all week!
And now we're back home trying to catch up on THIS and THAT! And now that the summer fun is all over I'm ready for as much of THIS as I can find!
Now THIS is what I'm talkin' bout!
Cause THIS is my FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR!! THAT won't be showing up in Houston until about the middle of October....but I'll be anxiously waiting!!!
I loved this recap!!! Great pictures and you are just so blessed with an amazing family that has the opportunity to get together often. It's fun living vicariously through you!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative and fun!! I can't imagine what that trip was like to Israel with Beth Moore!!! I wish you guys wouldn't have moved to Houston so quickly...would have enjoyed more memories!! ;)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm still planning to get our family down to GSP!!! I'll call you when I do to get the scoop on where to go and not to go. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see a new post even though I loved seeing Miss Lily! Just like I was happy to see her because as I would scroll down on the Holy land trip, I ALWAYS ended up at you on the camel and laughed all over again!! Soooo each update is important as it replaces the one before it. That all makes perfect sense to me and if you don't get it.....I'm sorry..it's all I've got. It's taken me two days to read all of this post. That's how it is here! BUSY
ReplyDeleteI'm very ready for fall too!!!!! We are seeing orange and red now, but it's the heat coming up off of the concrete! Know y'all are burning up too! Love you and waiting on the next word! Kathy
whew!!! busy summer but it looked looked lots of fun!!!
