We spent this past Monday at the foundation...free and refreshing! The kids LOVED it! It was Libby's first time playing in the foundation, and I'm pretty sure she loved it so much, she might have wet her pants! She had us rolling. As we were leaving, Luke said, "Mommy, I had a lot of fun!" Ah...that's so cute. He's never told me that before. Usually, I ask him if he had fun. It made me happy!

our visit home

We were so blessed to be able to go home a couple weeks ago and see family and friends. It was crazy busy, non-stop, but we had lots of fun! On Friday, we went out to dinner with some friends. Saturday morning, we got the grandkids pictures taken at Picture People...what a headack!! Later that afternoon, we had a surprise Wedding Anniversary Party for Jake's parents. Although, it was hard keeping the secret, it paid off in the end! They were completely surprised! On Sunday, we got Libby Baptisted. Then drove over to my grandpartents house and saw them for an hour and half...not long enough! Then headed down to Indy and saw my sisiter.

my parents visit

My parents drove down to visit us at the end of March....yes, it's May now! Where did the time go. I'm a little late posting again!

They arrived on a Friday and stayed with us through the following Friday. We had a fun and busy week. They got to start thier visit off, by watching Luke at his soccar practice. We also went down to the Woodlands canal and took a walk and let the kids play around the park. On Tuesday we took a trip to the Houston Park and road the train...Luke's favorite. We also went to the butterfly gallery. My camera batteries died, so I didn't get a lot of pictures there. Thursday, we drove down to Galveston Island and played on the beach for a couple hours. Dad bought the kids a kite and Luke got to fly it all by himself!

We had a really good time! Thanks so much for driving down to see us!

Enjoy all the pictures!

a day at the beach

We took a road trip to Galveston Island for a little "get a way!" We stayed at Galvesta Hotel, which was really nice. It turns 100 years next year. Surprisingly, being that old it was in great condition and the rooms were clean. They are in the process of remodeling each floor. We weren't so lucky to have one of the remodeled rooms though.

Jake got back from his trip at 7:30a.m. and was not reassigned, so we loaded up and headed for the beach! The weather was perfect...80's! Not to hot, but warm enough for the pool. Our room was not ready when we arrived, so we stayed at the pool area for a couple hours. It was REALLY nice! Wish I would have taken pictures. It was Libby's first time in the pool. She held on tight, pretty much the whole time! After checking into our room, we spent another couple hours on the beach. Jake and Luke played in the waves. And Libby and I played in the sand. It was very peaceful and relaxing!

For dinner we ate at The Rain Forest Cafe! It was pretty cool inside. Again, didn't get pictures. Luke was scared and wanted to be held the whole time. He barely took his hands off his eyes. Poor thing.

The weather was a bit chilly the next day. We went to the beach for just a little while and decided to head back home. We had a great time!
