Art Show

The girls watched an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba about art shows, and suddenly decided to do an art show for Daddy! They colored a few of their favorite Precious Moments pictures and then let me pull out a few that had already been colored. It was on the wall right next to the front door, so as soon as he came in from work, he got to see their artwork on display. Here is what we came up with...Lexi posed cause she was soooo proud of herself.

Sisters

Even though there is wrestling, biting, and hair pulling, there is also hugging, tickling, snuggling, hand-holding, secret-telling, toy sharing, etc....

I love these girls so much and can't get enough of them! It is fun hearing them tell each other stories and start to play games together. This summer they are starting to play more and more imaginative games. I like seeing one of them decide to play "going to kindergarten" and go get the other one to play.

I think it must be amazing to have had a sister your whole life and never have been alive without her by your side.

Lexi wanted to give Lilly a kiss.
Looks like Lexi had something shocking to say...

Green Machine

Ok, this is the BEST juice ever, even if it's green. Yes, I said GREEN!! I have been a fan of Naked Juice for a few years now. They sell it at my HEB in the produce section. I just had never noticed this one before, and decided to try it last week for the first time. Today I got one to share with the girls. They gulped it down like it was chocolate milk. It is healthy and tasty! I like stuff like that...check out the yummy goodness that is in there! Crazy huh? And it seriously tastes great!

I was not paid to say this either...just go try some! You'll like it too!

A Big Day!

Eric really wanted to go see a Houston Astros game while we lived down here, so we got tickets for this past Sunday. They were playing the Cardinals, which is not only a great team, but is the home of Albert Pujols. Now, I don't care too much about sports, but I enjoy watching some things in person. I like baseball games, and have heard about the Cardinals and good ole Albert for years now.

We decided to make a day of it. We had a nice breakfast at home and then headed out around 9. We decided that since we were driving right by it, we should go check out the San Jacinto Monument. I knew Eric would like it since this monument celebrates a great victory in Texas history. This was where the major battle was that gave Texans our independence...kind of a big deal!

Plus this monument is 15 feet taller than the Washington Monument. It was really tall. Not a bad thing to go see when it's hot outside.

So tall...it's hard to see in any of my pictures, but the top has a cool star on it. It was designed where you can see 5 points no matter which direction you look at it from...
Sam Houston himself...
Now, as it turns out, I took a LOT of pictures of guns and knives. I guess when you have my Dad, and husband, you know what they would want to see...Dad, I will send you a large email soon. I took some close-ups of guns with beautifully carved handles JUST for you.
Go Texas!

When I tried to pose with the girls for pictures, they knocked me down. So we just all sat together for a few shots...

The Battleship Texas is located across the street too. I don't know all the history on this ship, but googled it quickly. It was pretty cool. Once again, I took pictures of all the large guns for Eric. :) He loved it!
My cuties decided to walk ahead of us, holding hands!!
Then we made it to downtown Houston for the afternoon game. First, we stopped at Wendy's for some lunch so the girls were full and happy!

Here is the stadium...
Now, we have a LONG zoom on our camera, since Eric bought it for his investigations work. The zoom came in handy for photographing license plates from far off. :) This zoom just meant I could take some fun pictures of the ball players from our seats. Here is Jason Castro practicing before the game...

Go Albert!! I mean, Astros! :) He he!
The dude stretching is a native Waco guy...Lance Berkman.
Albert again...
Eric was so excited that you could even see his goatee! Ha!
The awesome air-conditioned stadium...

The girls were sooooo excited that they got a free puppy for going to the game...it was even wearing an Astros scarf.
Lexi checking it out...
Lilly bug...she has a HUGE scratch down her left cheek from Lexi's fingers. However, I edited it out in a few pictures because it was so sad looking.
Watching some baseball...
Lexi got scared and cried every time the fans got loud...I love the way she snuggled with me and her new "baseball puppy", as they call it.

She looks too grown-up in this one...
Lilly...
By the bottom of the 8th, they were both sound asleep in our laps!
It was a fun day!
