Sweet Gracie loved the water and sand, too!

such a happy boy

loving the water and the beach!

Daddy found a hermit crab so Hunter named him Shy. 

Shy came home with us, but only made it one night.  We should have left him in the ocean, but we still have his shell! :)

Can you see Maggie cracking up!  Her swimsuit was way to big!!!!  I didn't realize how big it was until  Thursday.  She almost lost it! :) 

We had such a wonderful time at the beach!  We had a beach picnic lunch, played in the sand and in the water.  It was perfect!  Such a great day!  The kids were all asleep before we even got off the sand. 

We had a great trip to Houston this summer!  Thank you Nana and Grumpy for such a great week!  We look forward to next year!

Houston trip

So last week we went to Houston to spend time with family.  We had a really great time!  Uncle David and Brooke were there when we got there and it was so good to see them.  We miss them so much!  We are so glad they got to come down for the weekend!  Hopefully they will make the trip to Abilene soon! :) 

We spent the week hanging out.  We went to the pool almost every day!  Hunter has become a little fish and Maggie jumped off the diving board over and over again.  Archer loves the pool too!  He has the best splash out of all the kids!  We also had a great time playing with Miss Gracie!  Maggie and Gracie were inseparable!  It was so cute to watch them play together! 

One of the cool things we got to do while in Houston was go to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, in other words "the Dinosaur museum"!  Here are some pictures!

Bothers wearing their dino shirts! :) 

This dino was found in Post, TX!!!  

Maggie and Hunter saying cheese!

My favorite dinosaur!

"Three horns never play with loooong necks!"

Can you name that movie??

Big ancient shark!!!  Ahhhhh!

 Woolly Mammoth

Maggie needed a stunt break! 

After seeing the amazing dinosaurs we went into the Butterfly exhibit! 

Archer and Grumpy looking for some butterflies! 

Our annual picture in the gift shop!  This time Daddy is holding Archer!  See last years picture here. 

The littlest were ready for some lunch after an awesome morning at the museum! 

I'll be post more pictures from our trip soon!  Beach pictures are next! :) 

Thank you for taking us to the Dinosaur Museum, Nana and Grumpy!  We love it!

I did it!!!  I took all 3 kids to the pool by myself on Friday!!  This boy has been wanting to go to the pool all week!  We didn't get to stay to long because Maggie and Archer were not feeling well, but we went!  He loved it!  And I survived! :) lol 

Have a great weekend!!  :)
