Due to busy work and grad school schedules Dustin and I discovered that we had a whopping 4 days of summer vacation this year, two of those days being Saturday and Sunday.  So, to celebrate our half week of summer time fun we went to the Houston LDS Temple on Saturday, enjoyed a good day at Church on Sunday, explored the cool "Myth Busters" exhibit at the Johnson Space Center Houston on Monday, and capped off our stay-cation with an awesome trip to the Houston Museum of Art.

At the Houston Museum of Art we saw so many beautiful masterworks of art, spanning from the ancient Egyptians all the way to the present.  It was so fun and everyone found at least 1 work of art they could label as their favorite.

After a great morning at the Art Museum we enjoyed a yummy lunch at Chick-Fill-A.  One of the best parts of our Museum of Art day was that it was all payed for with coupons we earned from our Summer Reading Program at the local public libraries.  Yea public libraries for making life more rich and beautiful!

The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
