I must move on!
SO...I know I said we would play catch up from all my summer happenings. Well...sorry to say but that is NOT going to happen. I would never be able to blog about all that went on this summer PLUS all that has happened since the summer!
I am just going to start fresh and tell you what's happening NOW!
Dryver is now 21 months old. Time is flying by:( It makes me sad, while at the same time I am loving everyday! He seems to learn something new every day. Just a few random facts about Dryver at this point in his life:
1. He loves to talk about tee-teeing. He always wants to sit on the potty and have anyone around him go potty. He even lets his toys go potty.
2. He loves to talk. My favorite thing to hear him say is "I love you!"
3. He loves to wrestle. Sunday at church they came to us and said Dryver just put the new kid in a headlock. Justin was so PROUD!
4. He loves to give hugs. Which usually turn in to wrestling. He also likes group hugs, which we call a family hug.
5. He is a momma's boy. Although, if you say GO he will go with anyone, anywhere.
6. He enjoys running around naked after bathtime with his "hat" (towel) on his head.
7. He loves to sleep!
8. He has just in the past 2 weeks started eating meat.
9. He loves animals.
10. I am sure you already know this BUT he is the cutest and smartest little boy we know!

Miami Continued
Like I said in my previous post Jessica was at volleyball a lot of the time. Kara and I hungout at the beach and the pool. We looked for famous people constantly. Sadly, Kara had to leave a day early. So, the last day I was at the hotel all alone. When I walked downstairs to head to the beach there was a sign in the lobby saying "Sorry for the inconvience. We are filming an episode of Burn Notice today." WHAT?! This is one of Justin's favorite shows! So, I set up camp where I think they are making the set. I am on the phone with Beth giving her a play by play. Finally, I decide to head out to the pool. There was no action on the inside. When I got outside I immediatley spotted 2 empty pool chairs (which is no easy task)! So, I make my way over and get all situated when I hear "Quiet on the set". WHAT?! I had landed myself right smack dab in the middle of the taping of Burn Notice. Let me answer your questions now...1. NO, I do not think I am in the show. (you should have seen the extras! I had them beat on the tan for sure BUT not on the body or swimsuit, CRAZY!)2. NO, the show has not aired.
What I thought was going to be a pretty boring day turned out to be phenomenal!!! Jess eventually showed up and we preceded to watch the taping of the show poolside for the remainder of the day. SO FUN!!! The extras would walk right in front of my chair, then turn right beside me and head up 5 steps to the main characters/scene. CRAZY! I LOVE stuff like this.
Also, one night at dinner Brooke Hogan walked by our restaraunt! I watch her show and knew we were right around the corner from the gym she works out at:)
Just a side note...when I was at the airport leaving Miami these 2 ladies came up to me and starting asking me questions in Spanish! I looked around and realized they thought I was HISPANIC! I said "No, no ladies. I don't speak Spanish...I just have a really good tan!" Too funny!!!

Welcome to MIAMI!!!
This is a LONG story!!! Here is the short version:) One night after dinner we wanted to go dancing. We decided to come on back to the hotel and just go to the dance club there. In our minds we thought this was safer and low-key. When we got to the hotel there were limos and cabs everywhere. The taxi driver told us Liv (the club in our hotel) is THE hottest night club in Miami. Well, fancy that! Here we are:) When we walked in we thought we would just go straight to the club. OH NO! They started blocking off the enterance and it was a RED CARPET EVENT!!! This is no joke! This is the picture of Jessica and I on the red carpet. The producer of Transformers was throwing a party for the cast! We saw the producer but no one else:( But we got in!
I will probably never again make it out to Miami. I am so glad Jessica gave me the chance to tag along with her. It was a trip I will NEVER forget with lots of great stories!
Stay tuned...I have another great story about Miami:)

Mini Reunion
These are just the Lindale graduates. The spouses that are not Lindale graduates did not get in the pic. I so quickly forget not everyone has known their spouse their WHOLE lives:)
This is a random pic of Justin I thought I'd throw in. The reunion this year needed to borrow Justin's helment for decoration. When he got it out he of course had to try it on, assume the 3 point stance and teach Dryver how to tackle. Oh...and have me take his pic 50 times! Always the football player at heart:) I have to admit...it was a turn on! I have fond memories of meeting him on the field after games:)
Stayed tuned. If you know me, I am going in chronological order through our summer. The reunion took place the weekend of June 20. We still have a way to go!!!

Let me explain!!!
So here is our 2nd week of summer. A fun low-key family trip to Dallas. Every year we try to go to at least 1 ranger game. And a weekend getaway to Dallas.
After an hour and 40 minute light delay Dryver was done. But he (and Justin) were good sports!
The next day we went to the Fort Worth Zoo. Dryver loved feeding the birds.
Dryver, Keatyn and Addilyn at the gator. Keatyn always ready for a photo op. The babies...ready for a nap!
I will try to do better on my blogging. Stay tuned...it was a wild and crazy summer for the Cowart clan! Miami, Beth's 30th, New York and Dryver's new haircut.

1st Week of Summer
Then that Sunday the kiddos were dedicated at church. It was such a neat experience because Beth and I were the only 2 families in the 1st service to do child dedication. It was very special to have Dryver, Keatyn and Addilyn all dedicated together. They all 3 showed their unique personalities:) Sweet cousins!
This was my 1st week of teaching swim lessons this summer. It looks like I am going to be teachiong 4 weeks of lessons. What a blessing that there are that many kids wanting to take this year! This is Dryver's sunscreen spike:) Although the sun has pretty much turned his hair blonde, he has not burned. Don't worry he is only out there an hour a day. But he does have a pretty cute tan!
Arica and I teaching Dryver and Elle to blow bubbles. Dryver will be in Mommy and me classes for 4 weeks. By the end of this 1st week he is already wanting to be Mr. Independent! He will jump or walk off the steps and kick to the top! Pretty amazing!!!
This past weekend Justin and I went to Shreveport and spent the night with one of my cousins. We had a blast! We went to eat at this wonderful mexican restaraunt and then to a comedy club. The next morning we ate out for breakfast and then shopped at the Boardwalk. When we got back to Lindale we went over to some friends house for a cookout. I LOVE summer!!!!! I think this will be a fun summer for our little family!!!
