Splashtown

 We went back and forth a million times trying to decide what to do for the 4th of July weekend: Galveston or Sea World, Galveston or Sea World, and we ended up going to Splashtown!  It is a water park located very close to where we live and we have never gone.  I'm glad we did because it was so much fun and there was so much for both of the kids to enjoy.

Here we are on our way:

Hudson is finally 42' (sniff, sniff) so he was tall enough to go down some of the bigger slides with Jason.

Primrose 4th of July Parade

 The kids had their Red, White, & blue parade at school July 1st.  I snuck away from work for a bit to go watch.  London saw me in the crowd and beelined it over to me!

This is Parker, Hudson's friend Logan's little brother.  I thought their firecraker costumes were super cute and worthy of making the post!

Astro's Game

US Oncology treated the company to a game at the Astros on June 11th.  They had rented out a big room that was filled with mounds of yummy food and great snacks!!  We felt obligated to try a little of everything since it was there and it was free!  I don't think I've ever eaten so much junk food in one night: hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken strips, (I did add a little salad to my plate), ice cream, popcorn, crackerjacks, cookies, etc...It was a good night!  Both of the kids loved the ballgame!


London's first baseball game!







Happy Birthday To My Mom


(I'm getting caught up again!)
While we were in OK during Memorial Weekend, we celebrated my Mom's birthday since we wouldn't be with her on her actual birthday.  Hudson couldn't wait to put the candles on her cake and sing to her!

Hudson got to go on his first Harley ride with Jason.  They just made the circle around the hill on the dirt road.  I was nervous the whole time but they were very careful and Hudson loved it...of course.




 We brought Hudson's tent so he and Daddy could 'camp' out.  They put the tent up and Hudson played inside forever.  Then it got dark out and he, Jason, and Gigi looked for shooting stars in the sky.  When it was time to go to bed, he said he was done camping and wanted to go sleep inside!!  Maybe next time!
