MOPS Steering 2007-2008 Reunion

We meet up at LaFogata for a reunion with all the girls that were on the steering committee 2007-2008. It was so nice to see these girls again. We spent so much time together that year and now I hardly see them. There was only one pregnant mama in the group- Christine. Our mentor mom was there as well- Pam. Everyone looked great! Our little waiter- Rauli- was so kind to take our pic.

Seedless Watermelon....???

I went to Sun Harvest to get some fresh produce. I have been craving watermelon (no, I am not pregnant) this summer. I think because it's cool and refreshing in this heat. So, I have been buying a lot of watermelon- seedless watermelon. I don't like to pick the seeds out. Emery eats a lot of watermelon and I don't want her eating too many seeds and choking on them. Hence my need to buy SEEDLESS watermelon. You can see in one of the photos (it's a tad blurry because I used my iphone) it states that it's seedless- "mini seedless". When I cut into it- black seeds were everywhere! I can handle the small white seeds and a random black seed but this was ridiculous! It was blog worthy!

Choo-Choo

I took the kids to the train located at the SA Zoo. Of course Huston had to tell Emery all the rules of the train and where to sit, etc. He can be so bossy sometimes! I had to put the pic of him telling Emery what to do. The train conductor took our photo in front of the train. Usually it is just the kids, so it was nice to actually get one of us all in the photo.

Cousins

Braden has been in town (July 10-16, 2009) from Fort Worth. Huston and Emery have enjoyed seeing him and hanging out with him each day. Braden will be leaving soon and I know the kids will be asking me to see Braden again soon. They don't realize that he lives in a different town- they haven't made that connection yet. We all went to the library one afternoon- to beat the heat and then off to McDonald's to let off some energy. We ended the evening going to one of Huston's Little Gym classes. They had fun- it was nice because it was at 6:30 pm so they really let off energy before bedtime.

Bible Story Hour

Each summer our church has a gathering for the 5 and under crowd on Monday mornings. July 13th, I took Emery, Huston and Braden for some music, a puppet show, crafts, snack and playtime. We met up with Daphne and Ellie before they headed back home to Dallas. The usual room was being occupied and failed to let the coordinator (April K) know until the last second. She was doing her best to be flexible with Plan B. Then (praise God) there was a record-breaking number of little ones that showed up. My kids had a ball! They especially liked the parachute that was brought out towards the end. Afterwards, we met my mom at Chick-fila for some lunch.

Funny side story.... Within the first 5-8minutes that we arrived, naturally my kids go nuts and run wild. Since we had Braden with us, it was 3 kids running wild and crazy (very normal). Daphne looked at them and then looked at me and asked if this was normal. Yep... it is very normal when we go out in public. She had to sit down because she said that it was really wild for her!! Ha Ha Ha

Junior League Special Events Tri-Chairs

Already hitting the 2009-2010 year off right! The Tri-Chairs met up for happy hour to begin planning this next JLSA year. We will be having lots of fun this year!!

Jump and Away!!

Big Jim and Lovey gave the kids for their birthday a jump house set (I am not sure the name for it). They love it! Friends, come play at our house (only in the morning hours and late hours due to extreme heat outside!!).
