I'll update soon!!! Sorry!

So I have been pretty bad about updates lately. I always remember to bring my camera when we have "adventures," but I always forget to take photos due to me running after Liam everywhere we go! Logan enjoyed his camping trip. We missed him so much! Our Niece and Nephew stayed the night last Thursday. Friday, we brought the kiddos to the country club and swam. After swimming, we went next-door to the club and had dinner on the patio. Frank Beard (ZZ-Top...the only guy w/out a beard) and his group were sitting right behind us. The kids thought that was super cool! He lives out here and we always see him coming and going on his golf cart. Everyone pretty much allows him privacy...which may be why he has lived out here for so long. The next day we went to a house-warming party at my brother and sister in law's new home. Very beautiful home, and they had a great turn-out! We are so happy for them and really had a great time. Sunday, we took the kiddos to see the Wall-E movie.This was Liam's first movie (not counting the baby matinee w/Keegan when they were newborns (and got to see a rated-R movie!) He hung in for the first hour. The last 30 minutes, he had a hard time sitting still. We know now that he can not sit through more than 1 1/2 hours and to bring his blanket and lots of snacks (came in handy during the last 30 minutes!) Sweet movie and there were many kiddos there so when Liam had a little gas, nobody gave us strange glances! Our next movie will be Kung Fu Panda!

Early Father's Day!

 



William was at the fire station, but Logan was leaving the next morning for Boy Scout camping and would be missing Father's Day. We celebrated early so Logan could participate. The boys and I visited the station and brought cards, a giant balloon that played music (very annoying, I'm sure the guys loved it!) and a peanut butter and chocolate ice cream pie along with some chocolate chip cookies (gone in 60 seconds!) No-I do not bake so they can thank Randall's for the tasty treats! We were invited to stay for dinner, but Liam decided to skip his nap that day so we had to leave. As always, the boys had fun. The guys are so funny to be around. Logan absolutely loves hanging out with them. He even tried some of his own jokes on them.

Logan's corn dinner! (yes, he grew this!)

Corn harvest!

 



Ok since only 1/2 of the corn was there when we picked it, we decided to let the remainding corn wait another week! Logan still ate it!

Logan, off to Boy Scout camping!

 



Logan left Saturday morning for a week of camping in West Texas. This picture was a group photo before they left. (After the recent news story about the Boy Scouts in Iowa, I think everyone was a little uneasy.) I think all the parents gave extra hugs but I know they are going to have a safe and great time. No television, no microwave, no computer, no X-Box360, no Rock Band, no A/C! They will be swimming, cannoeing, horse-back riding, hiking, etc. They will have a great adventure and we can not wait for Logan to come home! FYI, Logan is in the middle (under the tall man!)

Logan done with elementary school!

 



We bought him a huge music playing balloon and attached it to the mail box to greet him when he arrived home. It happened to be a windy day and it played music on impact! One friend came to the door later, dancing and singing.."celebrate good times..come on!" We are so proud of Logan, he was an honor role student from K-5! Such a smart kiddo and now he begins a new journey (and he will be playing in band next year!)

A couple of weeks ago, we met our friends Chuck & Lisa (and their family of four kiddos) in Kemah. We had such a blast and really enjoyed hanging out with them again. Such a beautiful family and we look forward to hanging out again soon!
