What we have been up to-

Last night Chris and I went to the Express game. We sat in a box- we both agreed that it will be hard to go back to the regular seats. It was fun even though the team was having a tough time!
Here is a picture from the party Friday night. This is my friend Bevyn's dad, Art, taking picture of Cam. Art played and joked with Camden all night, and after he left Camden asked if we could go to his house sometime- pretty cute!
Isn't this cake adorable!! Bevyn had these for the party. Somehow I don't have a picture of sweet Tessa, but she was as cute as ever! We are so happy for their family and glad we were able to celebrate with them!

Today started our week at VBS. This year the theme is High Sea's Expedition. Both kids had a great time today so it will be a fun week. I'm helping out in the galley (snacks station) which is in the air condition- so that is a plus! The daily snacks symbolize a story they learn each day and they are all really cute. Today was Peter's Jail mix (like trail mix)- pretty funny!

Not a lot going on.....

This week has been pretty low key. It was rainy most of the week so we stayed indoors for the most part. There were a couple highlights though- I got to have my mom's house cleaner come clean my house since she wasn't needed at their house. It is so nice to have the entire house cleaned at once. The kids and I spent most of that day at MiMi and Papa's house so we would be out of our house. I ended up vacuuming and cleaning out their refridgerator- it must follow me!

Then the most fun was Friday night. Our good friends the Pageler's had an adoption party for their sweet baby girl. Friday afternoon she offically became a Pageler (they have had her since she was born six months ago)! They had the party out in Walberg, TX. Lots of friends and family and so much fun. Tessa is six months old now and so adorable. Tim and Bevyn are the best parents and so excited to have this finalized and behind them! I have some pictures, but need to download them, hopefully by tomorrow!

I almost forgot to add that Chris went and had his hair cut at the salon I go to! It looks so good. He had the sides cut and left the top a little longer- I love it! For the past few years he has cut his own hair with clippers- short all over. I love his hair a little longer and think he is so handsome with his new cut!

Sunday night (tonight) we have a date night. For Fathers day my parents got Chris box tickets for an Express Game. It is in the Dell box and should be a lot of fun! I will get a couple pictures of Chris' new "do" to post!

Our July 4th

Our Fourth of July 2010 started out with a great patriotic service at our church. Here are Aubrey and Chris before heading to church. Unfortunatly we didn't get any pictures with Aubrey's eye's open! Our camera broke last week, so we are having to use my iphone and the quality isn't great :/
Here I am with the kids, all in our red white and blue!

After church we headed to downtown Round Rock for the parade. I loved this house behind Aubrey when I was a little girl- so fun to see my sweet girl sitting in front of it!


My adorable babies waving as the parade goes by! They got lots of candy and had so much fun. I was a proud mama watching them share their candy with other kids and seeing them watch out for each other. Such fun ages they are at right now!
Later in the evening after dinner with neighbors we took all the kids to see some fireworks. Chris has found great spot to watch fireworks- you can see fireworks all over the city.

Hope everyone had a fun July 4th holiday this year!

Family Fun

Chris had today off for the July 4th holiday, and we used the day with daddy for fun! We started off by going to see "Toy Story 3". It was a cute movie and we all enjoyed it.

After that we came home for grilled cheese sandwiches. I went to buy some red jewlery to wear to church tomorrow with my blue dress, while Chris and the kids relaxed at home. After that we decided to head out on an adventure. We didn't know where we were going, and ended up at the State Capital! It was a fun impromtu adventure!

Here are the kids in front of it! I love the fence with the stars on it!
Aubrey enjoyed standing on the star in the middle of the rotunda, looking up at the star on the ceiling and spinning around.

Here Chris is explaining the picture of the surrender of Santa Anna to Camden. I am sure you all know that the Battle of San Jacinto occured on April 21st, 1836. April 21st also happens to be Chris' birthday :)
And we can't forget Davy Crockett!
Here is a reinactment of......"FIRE" After this we were all hungry. We went to Magnolia cafe for some delicious pancakes and some fantastic omlettes. Then we drove around Westlake looking at some beautiful houses.
We finally made it back home and baked some cookies for the neighbors. It was a fun filled day! Now we can't wait to celebrate the 4th tomorrow. On the agenda is church, the Round Rock parade and watching fireworks. I'm sure we will have another adventure!
