Logan's First Trip to Texas - September 2014

Logan finally makes his début in Dallas!

We were celebrating Chris's birthday so their time here was jammed pack.  Logan was such a trooper to endure the Sip N See, pool party and GM & GP all over him.

I think this was Logan's first time in the pool and around a lot of activity.  He's not too sure about it all.

Mel and Anna became good buds.

 Someone found the mustard.  I think we were having sausage to go with the mustard.

 OK, I just don't get this.  It's summer in Texas and we are in the hot tub?

 Just loved this photo.

 Anna and GM just chill'n

 Logan and mommy just chill'n

So happy for the time we had together.  It went by so fast and as I look back on these pictures, we have all changed!

 







Houston visit wtih Blake, Camille, Pierce and Asher - Home sweet Home

After living abroad for 7 years, Blake, Camille and the boys returned to Houston.  They had moved into their new home and it looked like they had lived there for years instead of a couple of months. There was a relay race at Pierce's school so we went down for the event.

 The race originally was to take place outside but it was raining so they moved the race to the gym.  Here the students are lined up and ready to run wild.

 Look how tall Pierce is!

 Look at all those kids just waiting to be let go.

 The kids walked the first couple of rounds just to get warmed up.

 And then they took off running.

 Asher so wanted in on the action with his brother.

 Asher taking time to smell the flowers.

 Blake and Camille met some friends at the baseball game so we had the boys to ourselves.  We decided to get outside and enjoy the weather by taking a stroll in the neighborhood.

 Getting ready for church.

 I think this sweet family is really going to enjoy their new home. 

Pierce, Anna, Bailey and Asher

Julie has a friend that is a professional photographer who is exceptional at their work.  Julie took the opportunity to have a photo shoot of the four while they were together for the 24 hour visit in Houston.

 Break time.

 I think someone's in heaven.

 And that's a wrap!

WP - July 2014

For the past few years we have enjoyed Winter Park in the summer time as well as the winter.  We usually go in July or September and it's always a welcome trip to get out of the Texas heat.  The days are typically warm and the evenings cool.  Great for hiking and dinning outdoors.
We always have to make a trip to the top of Mary Jane and visit George.  We reminisce about some of our favorite memories, say a prayer and thank him for being part of our lives.

The flowers are so beautiful in the mountains during the summer.  I guess it's because of the warm days and cools nights but I'm always amazed just how beautiful they are.  So here are a few of my favorites.....thanks babe for taking the time to take the pictures.

It's also weird to see the base without snow and people.

Until next year...I hope
