Game Night

Playing games with Grandpa in our little vacation rental in Galveston

Galveston Getaway

While Grandpa was visiting, we wanted to show him the Gulf, so we took a little trip to Galveston.  Our first stop was the aquarium at Moody Gardens. 

The penguins were a favorite with everyone!

In the shark tank!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Happy birthday to Mom!  She enjoyed a party while Grandpa was here, and this year Naomi baked her birthday treat - "Cookies Stuck in a Brownie," as we call it!

Upwards Basketball

Johnathan was back on the court this season for Upwards Basketball.

This year Dad was a fan instead of a coach.  But Johnathan was excited to make his first basket this year.  And he even made a goal when Grandpa came to visit!

The Rhinos worked hard, and were excited to win their final game of the season!

Leaving a Legacy

Some pictures from Zion's Grandparenting conference, taught by Cavin Harper.  We had a special guest come all the way from Colorado to attend... Grandpa Boaz! 

Momma's Helper

Abby loves to stand on the stepstool to help in the kitchen.  A soapy sink full of dishes is her favorite job, and she ensures that the bubbles and water do their work on everything surrounding the sink!

Cardinal Neighbors

I love the cardinals that live around our house and eat and drink outside our living room window.  I always wonder if the ones I see are one of the babies I rescued a couple years ago when their nest fell out of the rosebush.  This one is getting a drink from the beautiful, broken bowl that has found a new life as a birdbath.
