Did I mention it never gets boring?

C and I had a very busy day today with two swim parties to attend. As
we left the second party, this is the text I received from mike.

Thank goodness he only had to get through the garage to get in. I
guess M pays more attention than we thought!

Beach Photo Shoot

Last one...until I post about M's birthday!  He He.  Time to play catch up! 

This summer I had the joy of taking a photography class.  It is one of my hobbies that I really would like to spend more time doing.  I had planned a photo shoot while at the beach and let the kiddos know ahead of time so they would be prepared to humor me.  (Little did I know, Mike would humor me, too!)  We found C's dress at Yaga on the Strand in Galveston and I could not wait to get to the beach and take pictures.  The best part was that the kids had a blast as well!   As their mother, I can't find a bad picture of them, which explains why there are so many.  I like the lighting in some, the reflections, the splashes, the hair, the smiles, I swear there was something wonderful about every picture! 

Enjoy!

Beach 2010

Last week we spent the week at a house in Point West.  We all had a wonderful time and a much needed vacation. We also went down to the Strand district of Galveston.  I absolutely LOVE La Kings.   It would not be a beach vacation without one of their hot fudge sundaes. We also made time to track down and take pictures of the tree sculptures that have been created out of trees that didn't survive Ike.  We enjoyed the old homes and the fantastic sculptures.

 For more info you can look them up at http://www.galveston.com/treesculptures/

Here are some of the photos, I will add videos soon!

Children's Museum 2010

Last week we traveled with one of our good friends to the Children's Museum.  The kiddos had a great time and were worn out by the time we got home.  My favorite was watching them face paint.  C was a ladybug and the boys were alligators!  Thanks Mrs. Hood!
