A Day at Hurricane Harbor Water Park!

Today we ventured out to Hurricane Harbor. Dawn & I took Kalee, Kristen, Bradley & Cody as well as their friends Hannah & Austin for a day of fun! The kids had a blast and so did we!

Kalee had a great birthday! She spent the day shopping at her favorite mall, eating lunch at Fuddruckers, having her favorite home cooked meal (chicken noodle casserole) as well as a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake, and opening presents! 14, wow, hard to believe in 2 years she'll be driving! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KALEE...WE LOVE YOU!!!

Time With The Girls

SORRY! I did not get any pictures of the girls while the boys were away. BUT... we did have a great time together! We went to Six Flags (no fun to bring your camera there) I took them to see Ratatouille, and we also went swimming & shopping! I will try to get some pics of them posted soon!

Brad & Cody's NEW Room!

While Bradley & Cody were at camp and Granny & Papa's last week, Charley was BUSY BUSY BUSY turning their plain white room into the ultimate boys space! They were so surprised & excited to come home to their remodeled room. Charley built an awesome shelving system in the closet, put up a trophy shelf above the window, installed some cool blue track lighting, and painted the whole room. We also took a trip to Ikea and bought them a new computer desk, and they now have a computer in their room. (Notice the poster above the computer desk, it is them on the starting gate at the Mother's Day race.) They think that is really cool! I know, I know, you're wondering "what did Heather do?" She came up with the ideas and then supervised while Charley slaved away! I took the skateboards to get their names airbrushed on them, and shopped while I waited for them to be done! Hard work, huh???

Happy 4th of July!

We had a fun 4th of July BBQ at our house tonight! We had some neighbors over for dinner and shared a great meal. Then we all went out front and set off lots of fireworks. The boys really got a kick out of it! It was a great night!

* The girls have been at church camp this week and will come home on Friday afternoon. (Incase you were wondering why they haven't been in any pictures lately!) They called this evening to let us know that they are having a great time at camp! I'm glad to hear that as we have had a fun week with the boys. We took Bradley & Cody to a late night movie last night, Ratatouille, it started at 10:30pm and we didn't get home until after midnight! They thought that was very cool. Today we got up and went to Hurricane Harbor water park and then went to Papa's Burgers for lunch. It's been great spending time with just the boys, BUT.....they are leaving for church camp this Saturday and will be gone for a week. We are looking foward to another fun-filled week, but this time with just the girls! *

Cool Firework Picture!

This is what came out of the "BIG BOY" firework! Pretty cool picture, huh?

Texas Style Fajitas???

Well, it rained all day, but that doesn't stop Texans from cookin' out! The girls are at church camp this week, so Daddy and the boys treated mommy to some grilled steak fajitas....yes, in the rain!

In Search of More Frogs!

Rain... Rain... Rain....

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated our family blog! I now have 4 blogs to keep up with (family, adoption, daycare & our church home group) so it's easy to neglect one from time to time! Anyway, nothing much new around here. LOTS & LOTS of rain! If I had to guess, I would say it has rained at least 25 of the last 30 days, maybe even more! I can't complain though, all this rain has kept the temperatures down (which in turn keeps the electric bill down!) not to mention, we haven't had to water the grass very much this year! *The picture above is the latest addition to our front garden.....a lovely pond!
