The Fountains






We went to Grimaldi's Pizza for dinner and then let the kids play in the fountains outside on the waterway. It was pretty cool outside but they didn't care until they were done and walking to the car. That is when they noticed how cold they were so we stopped at Hubbel and Hudson and got them some hot cocoa. We had so much fun.

The moonwalk we rented took up most of our backyard

The fruit bouquet I made

We had a birthday party here for Paige last Saturday. We had such a great time. It was planned for the backyard and it threatened to rain all day but got so lucky it didn't. The weather was awesome. Everyone had a lot of fun especially Paige.

New Table


This is how it looks without the two leaves in it.

This is the table when it has the tow leaves on the ends put in. It is huge.

Alex's dad built us a new kitchen table and a bench and shipped it to us. The he and Cheryl flew out to visit us and put the table together and be here for Paige's birthday party. We had a great visit with them and absolutely love our new table and bench. We now have to find some chairs to match.

Craw fish Boil

Our neighbors hosted a craw fish boil. We had never been to one. It is fairly common her in Texas and in Louisiana. They were super spicy. This kids like playing with them while they were alive but didn't want to eat them. I wasn't a huge fan but was a neat experience.
