Fun in the Sun. Galveston 2008

Each year, usually prior to our summer vacation, I take my kids to Galveston Beach for a day trip. This year, I was actually surprised at how clean the water and the beach was. My sister in law Melanie and her 5 boys joined us for this trip. We had a blast!!

We first rode the ferry over to Bolivar and it took FOREVER to get back over to the mainland. Once we did, we headed over to West Beach (which is much cleaner and less crowded) and let the boys play in the ocean. We packed a picnic lunch and enjoyed our day in the sun.

The boys flew kites (which I love to do) and Mel and I kicked back and read our favorite book.

The boys had thier hair painted and rocked climbed and rode rides. Even Cody enjoyed that part!! At the end of the night was one of the best fireworks show I have ever seen! They say it was the 2nd largest in the nation.

Baseball Season 2008

Through out baseball season, it was difficult to keep up with our blog page, so I am going to try and catch up!! Here is what happened through baseball season! Enjoy!

What an incredible season we had this year!! In regular season, our team went 21-0. From Fall Ball through regular season, our team went 46 game and NO loses!!

Our 8 year old team advanced to the Region Tournament and lost to the Stam0 team. We were 1 game away from advancing to the State Tournements in Irving Texas. It was so heart breaking! We held their team to 5-0 until the 4th inning. They came back to beat us 9-8.

Triston made some outstanding dives!! We are so very proud of our baby.

Sunday July Fun

This Sunday, Johnnie & I decided to take the day off from kids and head North to Huntsville. We stopped by the Sam Houston Monument and visited the prison museum. We love old history and so it was a real relaxing day for us both. We stopped and had mexican food for lunch then headed over to Mel's house for the evening.

Triston & Dalton had fun swimming and having their dad throw the football to them in the pool. We sang Karoke and ate bar-b-que.

Just a fun relaxing day with my husband and my children.
