Houston Family of Four: August 2012

Kindegarden Circus....and a little HIP HOP

Circus day for the kindegardeners. While Tyler was at the Farm bailing hay, making a bird houses, and playing with grandpa...Sam and I were having fun at school. Paw Paw puts on an orientation day for the kindegarden classes. It is a great way for the kids to understand what is coming. We arrived at 9:00 had a craft, a bus ride, snack time, play time on the playground, and a trip to the cafeteria and library. Sam was loving Mrs. Brennan already. I just can't believe how big Sam has become....Mrs Brennan asked us to describe our child in two words....but I couldn't.. she if fun, bright, energenic, funny, talkative, social, helpful, friendly, loving, she is full of spunk and a bit a handful. She is our SAMERELLA and boy do I love her.

From there.....we headed out with the dance girls. Brooke, Bryn, Dawn and Sophie to get our hip hop shoes/outfit....with a little stop for a make over too. The girls had a blast....can you tell?

Camping with the Paw Paw Gang

Its funny how this group came together.....the Hahn's and the Jergensons...and a few other families! This is why I love a small town...friends of the kids..and the parents come together and become friends too. Everyone ends up knowing everyone...and thats how this weekend came together. It was a blast!

The kids are getting old...A few years ago at Hemlock Lake I remember being exhausted by the end of the day because our camper was the place to for all the kids to hang out. But, it was only because our kids were to small to let go anywhere without us. So, we had all of them. This weekend showed me how far we have come and how much time has already gone by. We didn't see the kids! They were riding bikes, playing at others campers or ours. They were riding to the store, playing bey blades and watching movies. HOwever, they didn't need us. We actually hide to find Sam and MAKE her come spend some time with us. I love my babies...even if they aren't so much babies.

My Birthday! 3

Dan was back home but the kids and I stayed in GH for a few more days to play! Grandpa took us Mini Golfing downtown and then when Grandma got home from work we met Mikiala, Uncle Shaun and Taden at JW's for dinner. It was so nice...and after Mikiala, Taden, Sam and I went for a trolley ride and to the splash pad. It was a great birthday....just wish Dan was there!

Boat Day

After Saturday on Spring Lake in Grandma and Granpa's big boat....

....we spent Sunday out on our boat. It was a blast!

Saturday was spent on Spring Lake....by the time we got in brought Charlie back to Mom and Dads and got back out to the boat we were starving. It started raining and we had to spend an hour or so inside the boat...but it cleared up just in time for the fireworks. WE had a great day...even Charlie got to swim.

Coast Guard Weekend

We came in early with Charlie and waited for Dan. Some Clover Bar Pizza and off to the boat we went. We then road bikes (like every year) to the carnival. Sam on the tag along....it was fun. Uncle Shaun, Mikiala, Taden, Grandma and Grandpa and Paul/Michelle from the boat with Brandon and Kayle. The kids loved the 11:00 bike ride back to the boat. Tyler stayed on the boat and Sam came back to the house with Dan and I.
