9.12.07 -Tropical Storm Humberto

Well today we found out that we were going to have a tropical storm hit that night (nothing like advance notice) well at the very last minute it made a sharp turn and went NE of us so once again that region took another hit for us! Thank you Lord! We really appreciate the answered prayers.

9.16.07 - Church, Lunch, Zoo, Train, Church

Well we had a fun packed day! We started the day at Church the we went to the Brisket house for lunch. After that we went to the Houston Zoo. They have a new baby Griaffe and she was SOOOOOO Cute, we also stopped by to say hello to Mac the baby elephant, he is almost 1 yo (on Aunt Paula's birthday, sorry Paula he is cuter). When we left the Zoo we stopped to ride the Herman Park Train (this is the same train that both of us rode as children also). There was a little boy sitting behind us that was from Colorodo Springs, CO (why on earth would they be visiting Houston). We finished up the day the same way that we started it (at Church) for the finacial planning series that we are doing. It was a really busy and satisfying day.

9.15.07 - Dinner with The Brown's

Tonight we went to Paul & Debbie Brown's house in Spring Texas. Tony, Carly, Ben & Liam also came over. We had a wonderful meal, were able to catch up with a former friend, boss, mentor and co-worker. They serverd a wonderful baked fish in a lemon, caper butter sauce, gumbo, fresh green beans & rolls. Then we finished up with a shortcake type dessert with fresh blueberries and strawberries. I cannot forget the famous Blue Mountain coffee that they served with dessert. Wow! I am terribly impressed. That is going to be a tough act to follow. Grant had a WONDERFUL time playing with the boys. We promised to schedule a shopping trip in old time spring once the weather cools off. Many thanks for a great evening.

8.7.07 - Week two of High School Football

Well I did not get a photo this week but our team was playing close by so we hit the road to see them this week since we were rained out last week. We won!!! Grant and David had a great time whil mommy melted in the last of the summer heat. It was really fun!

8.3.07 - Labor Day

Well I would like to post that we did something really cool for the hoilday, but instead we cut out plywood hurricane covers for our windows. It is a good thing that we are finally getting around to it now that hurricane season is almost over. Well at leas it is almost done now. We really only have the doors left and we have to leave one door uncovered so we can get in and out!

Hope everyone else had a much nicer time...

8.31.07 - Football Game

Tonight marks the start of High School Football in TEXAS! We have season tickets and we were so excited to join in the fun. Grant ha a blast but towards the end of the first quarter the lightning started in the distance and at the beginning of the second quarter the wind shifted so Grant and I left the game and then the rain and fabulous light show started. Needless to say it cut the start of the season short. And there is a month until the next home game! So hopefully the next one will be better.

8.31.07 - Galleria

David and I snuck out today and we went over to the Galleria. We had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and it was very nice (I have gained 10lbs. celebrating David's birthday this year). We walked around the mall for quite awhile and it was very relaxing no having to watch/keep up with Grant.

8.30.07 - Texas Land & Cattle

We went to TL&C tonight to really celebrate his birthday. We went there after stopping by the hospital to visit with his Grandma who fell and totally messed up her right arm. She is moving to a rehab center on Friday so she can try to get movement back properly.

8.29.07 - David's 30th Birthday!

Well David took today and the remainder of the week off. We celebrated his b-day with dinner at Chick-Fil-A before Church. (That was all we had time for before Choir practice). HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

7.16.07 - Tropical Storm Erin

Today tropical storm Erin made landfall south of our area so we were on the "dirty side of the storm" Or area had massive amounts of water they said that in a one hour period we received like 9 1/2 inches of rain. Needless to say the streets were flooded and some of the houses in our community flooded. Dad was home with Grant today and he called to let me know that the water was over the curb so I was really worried that I was not going to be able to leave work until late. Everything worked out and I was able to navigate back streets and make it home.
