memorial day weekend!

So I have figured that i LoOvE pictures! I think they speak sO much louder than words! not only can you SeE what it is the people are doing but you can see their happiness and eXPresSioNs and actually feel like you are there with them having fun! So Since mOSt of my posts have been pics i will continue that way this is now offically a PIcTurE blog :)

Working backwards...


Memorial day was spent soakin up the rays and getting dusted by the sand

Mommy Rian and Maddox building castles

Rian, Maddox and Daddy baskin in the salty water

Rian and Maddox getting ready to jump the big wave!

Daddy saving rian from her tumble when she didn't clear the big wave and it took her out!

Maddox doing what he does best... playin alone. That boy loves his alone time. (might be because rian is a little smothering.)

Daddy, Maddox, and Rian shoveling dirt

after 3 min of me yellin over the roar of the waves "look at me!" this is what i got. A clueless madd, and a partial glance from ri.


Daddy is just a bit sour about the fact that sand is rushing up his shorts.

Me and my happy skittles.... they never look at the camera!

Saturday was spent chillin in the backyard for the first half of the day and the last half was spent having a blast at Houston's children's museum.

she has always liked to stick her tongue out at me.

Pretending the lawn sprinkler is and airplane... Notice the big boy undies!! yup he is getting potty trained and doing soo well!

My little princess. Sometimes if you bribe them with cookies they pose for the camera

And this is the childrens museum. She loved those old phones

And this is the kid pully



glow in the dark station.


This weekend they also got their summer hair cuts! Rian brought me a picture and said "Hey mom will you cut my hair just like this? She looks like and summer, I love aunt summy." I have no idea where she got that from ( the girl in the pic looked similar to you summer but she did not have you hair cut ha ha) she kept sayin that aunt summy had to come over later in a couple of days when she is done with school. what an imagination!
And maddox just wanted his hair like daddy's so he got a mohawk. He was a little upset when i said he could not color his hair black like dads though.

Trip to Fort Sill OK

We took a small trip up to Fort sill Oklahoma to visit some friends and the drive was beautiful!!

This is our friends Rachel and josh they have a little girl named Maddison that is Rian's age They had so much fun playing but would not pose for pictures!
Fun ride out side a little restaurant we went to
On the way home it was sunny and gorgeous with thousands of wildflowers covering every hill so we just had to stop and take some pics. Rian was not to happy about us waking her up from her nap though.


This is the only cactus i have ever seen since moving here to Texas i was so excited to see something familiar! even though the green and flowery surroundings didn't match ha ha
