Random Stuff

We've done lots of stuff that I just have random pictures of.... So, here we go! A while ago we went with James, Shelby, and Grayson to Hermann Park to watch a free show at the outdoor amphitheater. We ended up having a lot of fun! I had never been to that park before and it was so big and beautiful!

We took blankets and Shelby had an awesome picnic dinner for everyone! We love spending time with them and little G.
A couple weeks ago Bob and Sharon came to spend the night with us before they headed off to Roatan Honduras on vacation. They came on a Wednesday evening, which is when Joe plays softball. So, they came to watch him with me. Joe loved having his dad and Sharon there, and they loved watching him. Bob kept commenting on how it brought back so many memories from the kids' childhood and watching them play ball. Joe's team is red. This was a picture at the end of the game when they give eachother high fives=)
Joe, Sharon and Bob. Joe had to get his new bat in the picture=) He loves that thing!=)
A couple weeks ago we met Dave, Serena, Maggie, and Chloe at Rice's Baseball field to watch them play A&M. We always love watching baseball so it was fun. The weather was perfect!
Maggie got a new dress to represent the Aggies, and she's eating a yummy cookie!
After the baseball game we took Maggie home with us to spend the night. Andrey's grandma passed away so they went to Kansas and I had pretty much the whole week off. So, I thought it would be good to give Serena a break, spend some time with Maggie, and take her with me to watch the twins the next day so she could see her friends. We ended up having so much fun! Taylor and Sloane just love Maggie! We walked to the park so they could play and I took some pictures.





They had so much fun! I took Maggie swimming before I took her home and after just a few minutes of being in the car I looked back and she was sound asleep! She played so hard=) We love living close to our nieces and nephews here in Houston. I miss my Utah nephews, but I'm glad we're not in the middle of nowhere away from everyone.

Well, for those of you who don't live here or haven't seen the wall we did with all the photos we requested.... Here are some pics! We had a wall in our hallway that didn't have anything on it and Joe mentioned he wanted pics of all the nieces and nephews, so we went to work=) I found some sayings and let Joe pick which one he liked best and then I made a plaque/sign with that saying to hang above all the pictures. I started off with this sign that I got at hobby lobby for cheap.Then I painted the edges and modge podged different layers of scrapbook paper, used a foam board, some silver bead strands, some rope, and painted some wooden letters.
This is what the finished sign looks like

And here's the wall with all the photos up. We LOVE seeing all of those precious faces!
