May and June

May and June are always busy months and this year proved no exception.  

 John Patrick had a great 2 years at Genesis.  Now on to Kindergarten!

 For Memorial Day weekend we took a trip to Austin.  As always we had a great time!

 The bench is filling up fast!

 James graduated Kindergarten!  I can't believe he is a first grader now!  I am so proud of him he had a great year.  He even received the Bengal Paw award, awarded to one boy and one girl recognizing good character.

 The first weekend of June we went to LaGrange for Jeff and Julie's Wedding.   It was a beautiful weekend, celebrating with wonderful people.  

 I am so blessed by these wonderful ladies!

 John Patrick was quick to learn as well with Mia Beth.

 And they are off!  Congratulations!

The week back from LaGrange my two best friends from college came in town, Molly and Alicia.  It was so fun being together again.  And boy has God blessed us all!  11 kids and counting plus 2 in Heaven...

 We braved the zoo with all our kidos!!  It was HOT but the kids had a blast!  The Houston zoo is pretty fun and the new Gorilla exhibit is really neat!

Here are some pictures from my Birthday!

Nathan made my favorite cake.  I am so grateful for the family God has graciously given me.

For Nathan's birthday present the kids and I got him tickets to see the Astros play and go to the Picnic at the Park event.   The boys and Nathan LOVED getting to play catch on the field.
