9.9.06 - Putting Our House On The Market

Well today we took a big step and put our house on the market, the house that we built together, came home from our Honeymoon to, brought Grant home from the hospital to...etc. (you get the picture). I am a big cheesy goober about this type of stuff. Our poor Realtor Kaye said that she had never been asked to take a picture when she put the for sale sign in the yard!

I even took a photo of them putting the lockbox on the door.

8.1.06 - Neighborhood Night Out 2006

Well here is a photo of Grant on the firetruck that was at our neighborhood night out party. Every year we have a really nice turnout for our neighborhood. It is such a nice time because the parents sit around and talk while the children play and enjoy the different activities.

8.6.06 - Fishing at the Pond with Cameron

It is fishing day at the pond again and I am taking Cameron (our Cousin) fishing with me. He is crazy about fishing and I wanted him to experience catching a big redfish. It is such a blast.

7.29.06 - Sheila & Sean's Party

Tonight we went to Sheila & Sean's house. They were having a little party, so we went down there. Grant & Lauren had a blast playing on her water slide. They were too cute.

7.22.06 - Doug & Lorri's Wedding

Today was the last day of VBS and after the service Doug and Lorri were married. It was a really crazy day with and unbelievable amount of excitement. We made 4 loaves worth of ham & cheese sandwitches the night before, and David had to go get the Wedding cake but it all went wonderfully.

7.20.06 - The Elves & The Shoemaker UH Children's Theater

We went to see the Elves and the Shoemaker today it was reall neat, and Grant really enjoyed the play. The summer UH Children's theater is fantastic. It is a great way to introduce children to the theater without fearing their actions, becuase everyone expects some disturbances. I am so glad that Laura introduced us to this.

7.8.06 - Slip & Slide Fun

We went over to Kayla's house and played on the slip & slide they had a blast. It was really fun watching them figure it out and man these things have improved since the glorified rolls of plastic that we had. It is really funny watching them play on the same concept of toy that we played with as children.

7.7.06 - Astro's Game

We went to the Astro's game tonight and had a wonderful time. Grant went with Nana & Paw Paw and we went with Wende & Robert. We all had a great time. The had a wonderful fireworks show after the game and Grant was so excited.

7.4.06 - Fourth of July Celebration at Church

We spent the day celebrating the Fourth indoors at the Church. The rain would not stay away, so David cooked under the covered area, and all the events were moved indoors. We had a great time anyway, after all the cleaning was done we ran home where we could unload and run to see the fireworks. I haven't downloaded the Photos I took at the church yet but I will add as soon as I get them.

6.30.06 - Cinderella UH Childrens Theater

The University of Houston has a summer children's theater and they perform wonderful little plays for the children. Friday we went to see the closing performance of Cinderella, and it was fantastic, Grant was mesmerized the entire time. Afterwards he met Cinderella and he said "she was cute" when he was telling his dad the story. It ended up being a wonderful day!

6.24.06 - Swimming

We missed our swimming lesson on Thursday so we went to Raynel & Craig's house to go swimming. He is doing so well with his lessons and it looks like he will be swimming by the end of the year! We are so glad that he has made this much progress. He really enjoyed Ryan's new surfboard, and it was so nice of them to let him surf in the pool.

6.23.06 - Shopping

We have been passing around a stomach virus this week so we have not had anything to post about lately. Today Grant and I ventured out with Grandma. We were in Target and he requested that I take his photo with this Tiki and I thought it might turn out cute, why not!

6.15.06 - Zoobilee

We went to the zoo for Zoobilee the members only once a year party. It was alot of fun. The Moore's went with us and Grant had alot of fun with the girls. We were able to see alot of the animals up close, it was really neat.

We went to see Cars after church. Mom, Dad, Nana & Grant all went to the Theater and 1 movie, 4 cokes, 1 popcorn, 5 trips to the bathroom later (well we saw most of the movie). We got a really cute photo, but it is on Nana's camera and I will post it when I get it...
