July Madness!!!

July has been jam packed already with fun and excitement. This past weekend I went on a Girl's Trip to Wimberley to stay at Chessa's parents cabin. There were 5 of us that went and we met up with a couple more girls during the day as well. It was such a wonderful, relaxing and enjoyable trip. I laughed so much with my girlfriends and can't wait to go again.

Here I am relaxing in the Blanco river

The view from my chair...beautiful! Check out my blue toes... Me, Chessa and Michelle about to catch some rays at the river

Game Night! We played Taboo and laughed like crazy.

Chessa and Lori playing Taboo outside on the patio before the monstrous bugs attacked us.
Saturday Night dinner in San Marcos. This is the courtyard at Palmer's restaurant.
All the girls at Palmer's looking beautiful! Lori, me Chessa, Michelle and Audra.
My wine purchase following our wine tasting. It is a Pomegranate wine from Saledo. Delish!
Wine Tasting time at Hill Country Wine Shoppe.
Mommas ready for some wine!!!
Shopping in Wimberley. They have such cute stores there.
I bought some turquoise jewelry at a great price. I love it!
Chessa makes a purchase...look at that smile. Girls love shopping!
Audra taught me how to use the auto timer on my camera so we took many pictures playing around like this. HA!!!
The Pose Pic

The Cabin we stayed in was perfect! I really can't wait to go back and do this all over again.

The Twin's 6th birthday party was a BLAST!!!! Literally is was a blast because it was a Space Ship themed party. We had their party at Westwood Gymnastics in Katy and the kids all had a great time...and parents too! Who doesn't love trampolines, balance beams and foam pits??? Here are a few pictures of my sweet boys. The cool space ship cookie cake! YUM. I made matching cupcakes too and JoJo made the famous Big Red ice cream.
Birthday cuties. Can't you just feel the love?

End of the party with all the hot sweaty kids, the silly pose picture is the best!
Ryan is the only one sitting there all cute. HA!
On their actual birthday, we took a family trip to NASA Space Center of Houston! It was so much fun for us all even though the weather outside was quite scary that day. First stop was McDonald's by the Space Center. It was cool to go there since I remember doing this when I was a kid.The family photo at NASA. Aren't we cute?Jayson and Justin at the controls...Blast off in 3...2...1!
Ice Cream break...

Awesome space ship! It looked like their birthday cake.

This was a real space ship we got to tour

We spent hours there, especially on the giant floor to ceiling play area. They had so much fun! After NASA Uncle J and Lauren cake over with a homemade birthday cake. The video won't upload for some reason but they put trick candles on top of the cake. It was hilarious to watch their faces as the candles kept coming back to life!

We went to Pecan Grove to watch fireworks on the 4th of July. The kids were all sick so it was quite an adventure. Here they are playing before the fireworks started.
They look so cute even when sick!
My camera battery died shortly after this picture so no exciting fireworks photos. Just imagine...


Well the summer is calming down for us now so I assume we will spend more time at the pool and laying around. My mom bought me tickets to see Wicked, so this Saturday I will go see that with Jonathan and Lauren. I can't wait! July is half way over already and the boys start Kindergarten next month. I can't wait to take them school supply shopping! Is that weird?
