Longest Post in History

Things have been crazy around here this past week. I feel like we have been going non-stop. But, what else is new? This IS our life!! :)

**We celebrated our 8th anniversary on the 20th. Conn planned the whole night for us. He surprised me with a nice dinner at a "hip" restaurant called Zula in downtown Houston. The food was really good and the atmosphere was pretty cool. I think it turns into a lounge at night. After dinner, we went to The Alley Theatre to see a musical/comedy called An American in Paris. It was so good and really funny. The singing and dancing were both amazing! We then topped off the night with a Frosty from Wendy's. :o) Thanks babe, for a wonderful night.


**Conn performed another wedding this past weekend. It was a brother of one of our good friends. Lily's buddy, Madi, was going to be there, so we decided to take Lily. This was her FIRST wedding! Well, that she remembers. She was only 6 days old at her first one. :) She was sooooo excited. She got all dressed up and couldn't wait to see the "princess" and then go to the "ball" afterwards. She did perfect during the wedding! I was so relieved (and so was daddy)!

Here is a pic of her first wedding (6 days old). :)

**For Memorial weekend, we drove up to our family farm after church on Sunday. We spent the night and had a wonderful relaxing time. Mammy and Pappy were able to come along, and Dustin, Kelly and Cole (& a buddy) were able to join in on the fun for Memorial Day. Oh, and Lily got her first haircut. I know she is almost 4, but I just could never bring myself to do it (nor, would her daddy let her). Mammy "trimmed" it on the back porch at the farm. Yes, we are official country bumpkins. :)
Maggie fell asleep on our big adventure ride. :)

That's our Maggie!!

**Lily started swim lessons last week. She did really well (for a first lesson). We'll see how the rest of them go.



**We took the girls to Market Street to play in the fountains and get ice cream. This was a first for them (the fountains, that is). They really loved it, but we all agreed that the ones at church are soooo much better. :)

A rainbow appeared

Cheers!!

The girls jumped in the fountains right as we were leaving. Is that allowed? :)


** Lily's last day of pre-school was on Thursday. They had a fun water day planned! She had to say goodbye to everyone, b/c she will be going to a new school next year. It will be so nice to be closer to her new school, but we sure will miss Madi and all of her sweet friends that she has been with for so long. Here are some pics from her first and last day of school.

First Day

Last day


**And finally, last night we went with my brother and Sharla to Mainstreet Coffee Shop in Tomball to hear our good friend Robbie Seay play. We had a great time! It is always fun to hear Robbie play, b/c we have known him for so long. I remember when he would hang out at our house in high school and then I roomed with his wife (then girlfriend) Liz, my freshmen year of college. Robbie would come in from Baylor sometime in the middle of the night, and I would wake up in the morning to find him sleeping on our couch. Good times!!! :)

We are country Bumpkins too. My parents' place is surrounded by the Sam Houston Nat'l Forest. That's where we were for Memorial day weekend.
