more 4th of july fun

i hope everyone had a happy fourth...i certainly did.
we spent the weekend out at the lakehouse.
it was so nice to sit back, relax & catch some rays.
we had the carrekers out- chris, lindsay & baby cohen.
my good friend eriza, who i worked with at the dallas cowboys, came out saturday as well.
the spences & darleys stopped by saturday evening for a quick visit before the fireworks.

i did have a 1 year old birthday party back in dallas to photograph on saturday.
{more to come soon!}

here are a few more pics of our fourth fun.

oh how i miss eriza.

it was so great to catch up!

linds & jeremy coming back from the McCutcheons house, our new neighbors at the lake.

robbie designed their amazing house & jeremy built it.

blake & buddy watching fireworks together, hanging out with chase crawford.

don't get to say that everyday.

precious cohen carreker.

look at those eyes!

chris surfing for the first time!

blake attempting a 360, free of rope.

...and it was successful!

beautiful sunset on the lake.

this is what we found when we went to pack the car monday morning to come home.

buddy, hanging out in the front seat.
wagging his tail, innocently.

gotta love 'em.

5 minutes down the road & already passed out in the car.

he had a busy weekend.

*i think i already mentioned this but in case you are wondering, buddy had two bumps removed from his left shoulder last week that had just developed.

he seems to think nothing is wrong with him...hopefully he's right!

we will find out today or tomorrow if it was an infection from a scab he had when we rescued him a month ago or if it's cancer.

keep buddy in your prayers please!
