Yea! The summer heat wave is starting to end! This week it has been cool enough that the kids can play outside again. To celebrate we broke out the little kiddie-pool and enjoyed a nice morning of getting wet. Here's to surviving a Southeastern Texas summer and looking forward to a wonderful Texas fall.

Summer Camp Extravaganza!

There was 4-H camps, Ogden Nature Center camps, and church camps galore this summer.  It was the best summer ever for John because it was his first year of going to day camp and he LOVED it!  He now wears his 4-H and Ogden Nature Center camp t-shirts everywhere so people can tell he went to camp.  Owen had a fantastic time building Lego robots and learning all about the constellations at a late night camp cookout.  Maeve had her first ever overnight campout at the Ogden Nature Center, had a blast, and then turned around 2 days later for her first ever church Young Women's Camp where she became a zipline expert.  Xavier and Loyd humored their mother and bravely survived a week of FSY church camp.  Xavier spent the week at the Provo BYU campus (Owen declared that we needed to move there when he stepped onto campus and felt how special it was at BYU), and Loyd made it through the Weber campus experience in Ogden.  Rebekah has been too busy working and get...

Diana LOVES her Daddy.  I agree.  He's Great! Diana is 2 years old and says the most adorable things! "What happened?" - whenever she wants to know what's going on or why someone looks sad "In the car. Go Beep Beep!" - lyrics to an original song written and performed by Diana when we went for a family drive to Thanksgiving Point "NO!" Waggling her little finger back and forth - said forcefully every time her big brothers Xavier and Loyd tease her...which is way too often "Daddy" and "Mommy" - what Diana calls us know "Go Nursery!" - She says this when we don't leave the Chapel at Church fast enough to go to Nursey class.  Then she will pretend to cry if we are still too slow. "Help!" - said with great emotion whenever she needs something and can't do it herself Waves her hand towards her body to get the big kids to follow her Calls our bunny CiCi a "hop" "Play with me!  Play with me!...

Thanksgiving Point Has Given Us A Great Year

Last Christmas we were gifted a Thanksgiving Point family membership and we weren't really sure how often we were going to use it. Once, maybe twice?  Well, at the end of this fun year of Thanksgiving Point fun we have gone 19 times!   We celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and extended family time here this year.  We had fun visiting all of the different museums, playing on the many kid adventure sites, riding ponies - real and carrousel ones-, watching outdoor movies, roaming the beautiful gardens, learning all about dinosaurs, discovering the tulip festival, holding butterflies in our own hands, having our testimonies touched by the sculpture gardens, and being wowed by the Christmas lights of Luminaria.     It's been an awesome year!  Thanks Thanksgiving Point!
