Catching Up

After we got home from Minnesota we have been super busy. 2 of Tom's siblings came into town for a week, and we've had lots of playdates and time at the pool. Unfortunately I haven't really gotten out my camera! I did have my camera for 2 events so here they are.
We had a group of friends over to play and had a great time. Here are Jackson and Kason - they are only a few weeks apart.
Baby Jena - once she woke up Elizabeth didn't want to leave her alone!

Dana, Janet, and Amelia.


Zach, me, and Jena. Zach was loving Jena, too.

Kristi (Kayson's mom) and Suzanne



Joanne with her hands full! (Jill and Jena)

There's Jane. We had pizza and other goodies for lunch.





Josh and Drew
Then the fun with the photo shoot began . It was difficult to get this many kids together at the same time - but we did it!



It was an active photoshoot!
My kids had a great time with all the babies - I caught Jena mid blink!

We also went to the Fort Worth Water Gardens. Elizabeth made a list of about 15 things that she wanted to do before she went to kindergarten (insert sob!!!) One of the items was going to the Water Gardens. Neither of our kids have been before and I think they really enjoyed it.
Here's Elizabeth and Ben following their daddy's lead and are getting in the water (even though it's not allowed).

The Water Gardens are just filled of cement structures you can climb up, and a variety of water areas to enjoy.


There's Tom breaking the rules!


Ben climbed the mountain with daddy (and mommy down below praying they would be careful!)



We had a great time - we want to go back again (maybe when it's not so hot!!)
We have quite a few more things on her list, I hope we get them all done!
I had to add this. Elizabeth took my camera outside and got a picture of this frog that Tom found in the front yard when he was mowing. She's getting so good at taking pictures!

Wow! Nice picture, Elizabeth!! The playdate looks like lots of loud chaotic fun - sorry to be missing all of it. :( I can't believe how close kindergarten is getting... I mean... it's a looooong way off Mom! :/

I agree. Nice pic Elizabeth! I haven't been to the water gardens since high school. We'll have to take Sophia. And looks like a fun playdate!
