We are still here.... July - 2011

We are still here....
Here's what we've been up to lately.
We spent the last part of June and most of July trying to figure out how to balance 4 kids. Yes, we are officially a family of 6 now! It's CRAZY, but we are loving it. After 2 weeks and 7 trips to the car dealership we finally found a van. 2011 Toyota Sienna and I LOVE it, and if Jake and Emma could learn to ride without screaming I'd come up with excuses to go out so I could drive it. The last Saturday of July we planned an outing to the Sea Center in Lake Jackson. Jared had been asking to go for months, so we took the hour plus drive (with minimal screaming) and had a good time.

Outside the aquarium walking around the wetlands.

Lake Jackson is only about 10 minutes from Surfside Beach, we thought it would be fun to stop for a picnic lunch. It was blistering hot and crowded so we only stayed long enough to eat.


Just being silly!
