Houston So Far

OK, the kids are finally sleeping so I have found some time to post what we have been doing so far on our trip.

We arrived Saturday evening in time to eat dinner with Nana, Aunt Chandler, Aunt Leslie, Shelby, Andrew, Meghan, and later Uncle Jonathan. (They all were excited to see the boys, I don't think it had anything to do with me!) After we ate dinner, Nana lit a fire in the fire pit so the kids could make s'mores.

On Sunday, TJ and Cody picked Grandma Sandy up from the airport. Grandma Sandy was able to meet Cade for the first time. (Here is where I would enter a picture of Sandy and Cade together but I'm an idiot and didn't take one).

After a little while, Ty, Cody, Chandler, Chelsi, and I headed over to pick up Uncle Clay and go to Cody and Ty's first MLB game! Naturally, I chose their first game to be an Astros game. Ty wasn't as impressed with the game as he was with being able to sit with Uncle Clay (who is only 9) in their own seats. (I was close by and could watch them the whole time but they felt big). Cody LOVED the game and sat through the whole 10 innings.

Cody sitting on the edge of his seat, it was a close game even though the Astros ended up losing in the 10th inning.
On Monday, we took Ty and Grandma Sandy to the airport to see them off to Disney World. We then headed to Uncle Clay's baseball game. I wish I would have brought my camera to that because Cody had a blast. Cade didn't go with us to Uncle Clay's baseball game because he was with his Aunt Pammy. She kept him so we didn't have to take him in the heat with all the mosquitoes. I know he had fun because I'm sure he was super spoiled.

That night, Aunt Leslie, Uncle Brent, Shelby, Andrew, and Meghan came back over to spend some time with us. Aunt Pammy stayed and hung out too! (I think she had forgotten just how loud we are when we all get together).

We went to see Tasha and Curt's new place Tuesday night and we had a great time. Cody loved playing the Maverick and Savannah (their dogs). I forgot my camera again on this little outing and so I'll have to post these pictures when Tasha sends them to me. Once again, sorry.

Finally, today we ended up having another busy day. Cody went to the Children's Museum in the Mall with Jillian, her mom, and her nephew. He had such a great time digging for dinosaur bones, brushing BIG teeth, shopping, and playing with all the cool stuff. I wasn't with them on this trip so I don't know exactly what they got to do but Cody was VERY excited all night.

After Cody got back from the Museum, we headed to Auntie Tracy and Uncle Mikey's for dinner. Before dinner we went to the pool to work up the kids appetites.

That's all we have so far but we still have 5 days left. We're having a great time but you can tell the boys are extra tired. They're not used to all the attention. They are having so much fun though, I wish we could visit here more often.

Ty is having a great time in Disney World and I can't wait to hear all about his trip. McKinly is at Camp this week and that is why she is not here with us.
