a nice quote

“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey … delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.” GBH quoting Jenkin Loyd Jones

a leprechaun lunch

My friends organzied a fun leprechaun lunch at the park. The kids had fun eating, playing, and finding the pot o'gold.
Then somehow Owen got dog poo on his clothes and bare feet so that put an abrupt end to our fun. Good times!

Sister Visit!

My sister came to visit with two of her kids, Halle, and Mack. We had so much fun!

She flew here on her birthday so we had cake to celebrate


I got the recipe here. It was delicious, and easy to make!

Halle and Abby were best of friends (most the time).

Singin' and Dancin'

We took advantage of the awesome weather. Went to a park and had a picnic.

The kids loved the swings

Went on a fun trolley ride

More playing outside

We drove down to Galveston on saturday and went to the aquarium. It was windy and cold, otherwise we would have played at the beach. The aquarium was way cool though.

The penguins were awesome. Just like Happy Feet.

The girls were most interested in stamping their "aquarium passports"

The fish were awesome

Uncle Mike carried the girls over the water puddles

Princess dress-up and Strawberry Shortcake

Ready for church

We ate alot of yummy food too! Cheesecake Factory, Potbellys, Pappasitos, Whataburger, and fish tacos at Berry Hill. Yep.

Sunday we made some new recipes found here and here. Delicious!

More outside playtime!

So sad driving to the airport

Goodbye

Come back!

Owen cuddles and playing b-ball
