Last week we had to take Logan to the allergist for his annual check-up. There is a courtyard outside the building that is just absolutely beautiful. I want to take them back just to play sometime. 
We went to Houston this weekend for a family reunion/fish fry. Stu's family has these usually at least once a year at his Mom's uncle's house in Cat Spring (near Sealy). It was a lot of fun. Good food, awesome weather and the kids got to swim again!

Ellie and Uncle Garrick (Stu's brother) at La Hacienda.
Ellie and Grandma!
Unfortunately Memaw (Stu's grandma) isn't doing very well. She has COPD and we're really not sure how much longer she's going to hang on. All of Stu's grandparents are still living (I know, he's really lucky). I'm just glad that they've been able to get to know our kids as much as they have. We feel really blessed for that. Everyone just say a little prayer for her that she is not suffering and feels at peace with what seems to be inevitable.Here are a few pics from Ellie's field trip to Crowe's Nest Farm in Manor. We had a great time. They've got that place down to a science. We were in and out in no time! 
On the hayride.
They showed us how to milk a cow!
Watching the cow being milked.
They have a part called the Faerie Wood. It's just a trail through a nicely wooded area. But all around they have little fairies and pretty little birdhouses and all kinds of things. They tell the kids to see how many they can find while they're walking. 
This one was my favorite. Doesn't she look peaceful and serene. I need to try and get a little of that feeling in my hectic day!!!
This was the entryway. A long tunnel covered in vines. It looked like they had frozen in the winter, but were growing back to cover it nicely once again.
Here's a little example of some of the fairies on display.
"Oooh look Mom, another fairy!"
It was a lot of fun. I'm so glad I was able to go with her!
Baseball + kids = not watching the game at all!
We went to our first RR Express game of the season on Sunday afternoon with some friends and Ray, Grace and Carter. We had a great time.
I'm pretty sure the Express won, but that was only because I heard the guys talking about it. There is no watching the game when you're trying to keep track of kids on the berm. As an added bonus it was bat day and all the kids got full size plastic bats upon entering the park. This sounds good in theory, but keeping them from whacking each other the whole time gets pretty old!
By the end of the game I have to say I was exhausted! But I think the kids had a lot of fun and let's face it, that's why you take them to a baseball game, right?
Logan really likes to cook. Always has. Every once in a while he gets the urge to make something. This can get complicated as I'm sure you can imagine. The other day though he decided he wanted to make pancakes. A relatively simple task, so I said sure. He did a great job. 
I'm not sure why he has adopted this pose lately, but he likes it. It's kind of like rapper meets chef. 
I know I post his art a lot, but I thought it only fair that I show you all his art work from the artsonia site as well.
