Now, who had a birthday!!

Some of the kids came over after Craig and I went out to dinner to sing "Happy Birthday" and eat cake and icecream with us.

Water Fun

We went to Amber's neighborhood pool to celebrate Brooke's one year old birthday.
We had lots of fun at the pool. Brooke has been taking a few steps for the last few weeks.

Water Polo

Tyler had a fun year for Summer Waterpolo. They won all their games and then lost the 1st game in the Championship tournament but won the 2nd.

The fish that was taken away

Craig was ticketed for possesion of a fish fillet.
Here is the fish before it was taken away as evidence.
Lesson learned - you can cut off the tail and the head but not fillet it on the boat.

Underwater fun

What do you do in Houston in the 90+ very humid days. SWIM. Tyler is on the swim team and practices and hour a day for that. He is also on the waterpolo team and practices and hour and half most days. If you miss regular practice you can swim from 9 pm - 10 pm. And then come home and swim again!!!
I have invited lots of friends to come the last two weeks so I could help their kids with swimming and just swim and have fun. So the pool has been busy.

TEENAGER in the House

Tyler's birthday was May 9. We now have a teenager in the house.
We have been so blessed these past 13 years to have Tyler with us.
He is such a delight and we love to watch him grow and learn.

Kitchen Pictures

I have moved back in to the kitchen. I really love it. Some of the things that we changed I really like. Most cabinets were changed to drawers. We moved the refrigerator to the other wall. There is a roll out pantry for spices and such.
I like the two trash can pull-out, one for trash, one for recycling. We also put in an induction cook-top and I really like it. I have already had a few boil overs and clean-up was a snap. I love the lazy susan in the corner. I now have a double oven and one is convection. We cooked three cookie pans all at once and they came out great, no more rotating. We put in one big sink, it has been great. The cabinets now go to the ceiling. Even though I can't reach the top 2 shelves , I can put things up there that aren't used on a regular basis. I spent lots of time configuring the back splash and really happy how it turned out. Love the lights, undercounter, can lights and ceiling fan with light.
I'll send some pictures for you to see.
