Lake Conroe

We had so much fun with Mike's family when they came to visit. Those that came were: Mike's parents, his sister Staci, his brothers, Jonny and Steve, and Steve's fiancee, Ashley, who I got to meet for the first time (and we all love her!)

They stayed at Montgomery, which is an hour away, and located beside Lake Conroe. One day my in-laws rented a boat and a wave runner, so we spent the day skiing and tubing. We all had such a great day!!

Elaina had such a blast that day, and was so brave on the tube!

Here she is with Ashley

How hard is it to get a good picture???

This is another photo shoot I did with the girls. I want so bad to get a cute picture of the two girls together but never have much luck!! I want both girls smiling, both girls looking at the camera, and not doing anything weird with their hands. It doesn't seem like too much to ask, but for some reason I guess it is.

So I keep dragging them out - bribing them with candy, and threatening them with time out. The girls aren't happy until it's over, and I'm only happy until we start taking pictures. This is usually what we end up with:



And then at the end, the little diva inside Elaina came out. I was laughing so hard when I was taking these pictures. What attitude!
It's so hard to be mad at them when they're so stinkin' cute, even in bad pictures. Here is one that is ok:

Random Summer Fun

Erin at Chuck E Cheese:

We love the Children's Museum in Houston:

Erin got soaked!

Elaina playing vet: I don't think I'd ever want her to give me a shot!

Erin's very own Linkin Logs Tower. Surprisingly, she actually liked being in there...for a little while!

Preschool Fun

Just some random picture of preschool activities during April and May...

Waco Zoo:

Elaina was our little navigator. Thank goodness for her great map reading skills!

And Erin offered suggestions when needed

There was a tunnel slide that went through the sea otter aquarium that was pretty cool

Checking out the Elephants

Elaina & Monkey

Cute girls

If we can't get them all to look at the camera at the same time, at least we can get them to all not look at the camera at the same time!

Erin & giraffes

Easter Activity:

Amy did a great job for our Easter theme! They made bunny hats, rolled eggs, had an Easter egg hunt and races.

The big race!

And Erin trying to keep up!

Examining the goodies

Rolling eggs...I guess she didn't want her picture taken.

Gymnastics: For one activity we went to a gym and they let the kids try some of the gymnastics equipment. It was a really fun day:
