Strike a Pose!

Me and my college roomates or should I say cheermates from Blinn got together this weekend. Our families have blossomed and it is so neat to watch everyone of us grow in different ways. We met in College Station and had lunch at Shipwreck Grill (delicious) and then went bowling at Grand Central Station..... Tayden and Hank had a wonderful time talking up a storm and taking each others toys away from one another. We have another get together in the Fall for the Scarecrow festival, can't wait. When we 3 get together it feels as if we never misssed a beat, truth of it is... we only talk like once a month. Here are a few pics from our reunion!

Gotta love the FREE socks!



Totally Hot!

Swimming With Grandpa











I love swimming, Grandpa and I got to swim together a few weeks ago! He is so much fun, he let's me kick, and splash, and he even throws me up a little. Grandpa says I can come over and swim anytime I want to, he loves me a whole lot. Here are a few pictures of our last swim together, I went non-stop for about 45 minutes so Grandpa might need a rest for my next swim....

Sweet Harughty Boys


So our A/C is broken, so sad...( tear, tear). So instead of lugging all of our stuff to our parents houses, we went to Lee and Jennifer's house since they have a baby too, and all the gear! It has made it so nice for us. I have watched 6 episodes of Prison Break (my new t.v. show from Netflix) and gotten a little of my sewing projects started (messed up, and more than anything on a bit of a learning curve). Hank and Hayes have even started to nap at the same time. We have been here since Friday and we will finally get back into our home tonight after our new 3 TON A/C unit arrives. Thank goodness I can buy them at my work for cost, those suckers are expensive and so is the install. Guess we won't be making our anniversary vacation to Vegas, haha! Here is a sweet picture of Hank 7.5 months and Hayes 2.5 months. We had to put Hank's arm behind the pillow so he wouldn't grab Hayes hair and make it cry for the third time!

An Out of the Park kind of Father's Day

So it is really cool that Derric and Lee are such close brothers, and it's even more cool that now they get to raise their sons five months apart together. They already talk about the little league the boys will play in and of course that they want to coach the boys together! So naturally it was only politically correct to take them to their first Astros baseball game on Father's Day together! Here are a few pics of our first Father's Day with Hank and Hayes!
