Trip to Texas Part 2

Jeff arrived early on Friday and we headed to the boat dock to do some swimming and jet skiing. We thought the boys were old enough this year to take a ride on the jetski with daddy.







Grangie got Reed into his lifevest and brought him down. (Their new lot in the background with a new bulkhead)





All ready to go and grandpa gave him a push. Reed was so excited (mainly just to "drive")







Grant got upset that he didn't get to go until Aunt Lacey started helping him into his vest for his turn.

Daddy and Reed.

Instead of sending Grant with daddy we decided to make it a family trip.

One big happy family having fun on the Lake. :)

Since the boys are not expert swimmers, Grandpa thought ahead and got them their own pool for the house. Thanks again Grandpa.

This cool pool had a slide and a fountain of water. The boys had a BLAST splashing and playing in the water.


Last year we had to go to the community pool or as we named it "the loosers club" this year we decided to make the loosers club cooler by making it exclusive. (drinks allowed)

Aunt Lacey being a super Aunt and helping the boys go down the slide over and over and over and over again. Later we moved the pool so that the slide was pointing down hill. This way they needed no help.

After the boys went to bed we went fishing on the dock. Grangie goes to bed early and is nice enough to keep an ear on the babies so that we can go fish. Lacey and I had a great time with the boys watching them reel them in.

Michael came down just in time to help clean the fish and put them in the freezer.

After the weekend we all headed back to Houston. Jeff, Anne, the babies and I went to Brenham to visit Jeff's Granny. Here she is with Grant.

Both the boys were very interested in her necklace and earring. We had a nice luch with her and then were off to Houston to meet up with the rest of the fam.

On Wednesday the boys and I headed to the Ramsey's house to meet up with some of my friends from my teaching days. We got to see Angel, Kristen, and Beth. AND all their kiddos. What's funny to me is that when we first met Kristen had one baby and now she has 4!!! Now I look and see all these kids and think WOW! Where does the time go?

The boys were not being very good friends at first. But after their nap they were behaving much better. Their favorite toys were the baby strollers.

Grant and his baby.

Reed and his baby. :)

Beth was super sweet with the boys and they naturally took a liking to her.

They just kept trying to give her kisses. :) We miss you Beth!! Hope to see you soon!!

Reed also feel in love with Preston's bug glasses.

He always likes glasses, but these were really funny to see on him. Thanks again Kristen for hosting us at your house we had a great time.

On Thursday we headed back to Discovery Greens downtown with my friend Natalie.

Natalie and I have been friends since high school and were so excited to find her living in Houston now.

Jeff keeping an eye on the boys.

Natalie's sweet little Allie.

We had such a great time with everyone while we were there. We wish we could be back again soon. Aunt Lacey and Grangie were so helpful. Lacey and I got to go to the movies AND get a pedicure. Thanks again guys!! We love you!!

We left Houston on Thursday and headed back to the lake one final time. Reed was obsessed with the golf cart. He loved to climb in and "drive". He even had special sunglasses (of Grangie's) that were his driving glasses. He only wanted wear them when he was driving. I tried to get a better picture but this was the best I could do. :) Maybe next time.

We flew back to Salt Lake on Monday and are missing our hot humid weather. Love you guys tons. Thanks again for a fabulous vacation!
