Loving Friends and future playmates...

Some of our sweet friends in Houston threw us a Surprise birthday party on Wednesday... what a great surprise but even better than that we got to hang out with some old friends of mine and future playmates for Pierce.

We got to spend the morning outside... another blessing.

Pierce with Lindsay and her twins Carson and Claire.

Jessica with her son Andrew and Alaina with her son Ethan...

Good friends and good times...

Carson is younger then Pierce but you could tell they were going to be buddies... just a like in many ways... best buds for sure.

Renee even made homemade play dough... way to go super mom.

Sweet Lindsay made cupcakes for all of us to enjoy... just love bday parties.

Ok... this will be a great picture as soon as I can get to my editing program on my computer... but I don't have it with me so for now you will have to enjoy the self timed photo of the gang.

Just love these girls... Renee thank you for opening up your house for this shin dig... and thanks to my sweet friends for coming to celebrate with us... we loved seeing you all...

Uncle KW in charge...

On Tuesday night... Uncle KW was in the charge... Julie and I left around dinner to go see Beth Moore... she just started re-taping live her series on David (which is awesome and if you live in Houston area you need to go to First Baptist on Tuesday nights)... KW volunteered his services so us girls could go get a little Jesus.

Pierce had a blast... first they watch 'The Reef' and had sweet popcorn, played with Grace, had a long bath and then off to sleep... And the best part was that KW did not look tired when we got home... yeah... Thank you Uncle KW you are the best...

KW did have fun with Pierce while they were having guy time... we have a 5 min rule.. when Keith was in charge he had a 6 min rule (Pierce was not happy)... we let Pierce got to bed with whatever toys he wants and Keith only let him have 2 toys... he he he... he said he taught him somethings too...but all and all they had a great time...

Thanks Uncle KW... you are the best.

Back in Houston and getting some grace...

Back in Houston and staying with Julie and Keith... and Grace... we are having so much fun with this wonderful weather and getting to go outside and play chase...

You want some water Grace????

Gig'em Aggies while wearing Auburn colors... oh boy!

Aunt JuJu trying to get Grace to sit still for a photo shoot with a treat... not working..

Finally got the picture we were after all afternoon... way to go kids...

Stay tuned to see more of our adventure so far in Houston... counting down the days until Daddy gets back home next week...

There are several reasons why I love aggieland...

There are several reasons why I love AGGIELAND... 1) is obvious... the place of Texas A&M University and everything it has to offer, 2) the Aggies for Christ and all the people involved in making that ministry happen, 3) my friends that are still there, and 4) this sweet girl...

On my way back from FTW to Houston I got to stop in College Station... first stop to visit Rachel and her children... we ran to the park and had a great time (but sorry I forgot to take pictures) and then off to the May's I went... Kathy and Sara (her daughter) hold a very special place in my heart... we love them and love to get to see them both.

Friday Kathy took off from work and we all went to the park to hang out and get a short visit with Teresa (who I also use to work with) and her new baby #4... Geris.
Sara on the monkey bars.

Pierce playing McDonald's... we don't eat there but does every kid know what that means... what is up with that.

Baby Geris...don't you just want to eat him...and take him home.

Back at Kathy's house we all got to play on our iTouches... what is this world coming to.

The Aggies for Christ minister Kelly Davidson came to play with Pierce... and I got to sit down with his wife Sarah and catch up...Pierce really loved playing with Kelly... he has really missed rough housing with a man...

Then on Saturday my old friends from college... Paige and Shannon came to visit.. oh what a great visit... and what great friends... I just love these girls...

You can tell by the progression of these pictures... a bit of how sometimes we get out of control and laughter takes over...

I just love Aggieland... love it love it love it and can't wait to go back... Thank you Kathy for housing us and making another great trip full of memories (and thanks for getting me addicted to Words with friends... yuck)... :-)
