Huston's 4th Birthday!

On July 23rd, we had a family birthday party at the house for Huston's 4th birthday. He wanted a race car theme party, but it ended up with trains and cars. Oh well, they are all his favorites! Aside from my parents and Clark's parents coming over, his brother, Uncle Graham came to visit. He was in town for a golf tourney and joined us for the fun!

Little Gym

I know this is out of order, but we had another computer problem over the summer so I was WAY behind on my blogging. I plan on spending an afternoon to catch up... it might take me some time. We will start from the beginning of the summer.

Little Gym- we enrolled the kids in Little Gym this summer and it was the best place for them. They had the best time and the staff at our LG location were awesome!! The last 5 minutes of class the teacher would bring out the bubble machine. Emery LOVED the bubbles on her tummy. She would always life her shirt so that the bubbles would pop on her tummy. Now the kids love to do rolls all over the place. They take the couch cushions off and use them as mats for gym exercises. Then whenever we are in public they use handrails as bars to swing off of. My little monkies!!!

Lilly Pulitzer

Tuesday, August 20th was our first special event of the 2009-2010 Junior League year! Lilly Pulitzer was king enough to host (with plenty of food and drinks) a party for us. Of course, I couldn't leave without seeing the cutest outfits for Emery and me. Yes, matching outfits!! I have always wanted to match with my daughter and since Laura Ashley days (circa 1980's). I will post our matching outfits when I get a pic of us together.

Anyway, we had a great time and plan on having another event there in the spring.

First Day of School!!

Huston and Emery had their first day of school today, Thursday, August 27, 2009. They will be going to "school" Tuesday and Thursday of each week. On Tuesday, August 25, we had meet the teacher day at school. It was a zoo! Emery was dropped off first because of where her class was located. She walked right in while Clark, Huston and I followed her and went straight to the dolls. When asked if she wanted us to stay she said "no". Huston asked her if she wanted him to stay in her class for awhile and she said "no". So, we left- no tears shed. Huston was a little different. He wanted us to come into his room and stay for a bit. We took him to his cubby to put his things away, showed him the potty and then we was interested in some play-doh that the teachers put out. No tears shed!

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.
