Trip to Tx

Last week we drove to Tx for a few days. We had a great time, and it was so fun to see friends and family! We did lots of swimming in Nana's pool, we bought school shoes, Anna and I got our hair cut (thank the Lord). Amanda took us to her favorite, and now my favorite sno cone place. We went to the Barnum and Bailey circus, and we got to go to one of our favorite fast food joints....Chicken Express. We didn't make it to Cane's this time, but next time will come soon.
Before we went to Tx Nana decided to clean the pool. She fell and broke her wrist in 5 places. She had surgery last Tuesday and they put 3 pins in her arm. Who ever knew that pins were 6 inches long? Ouch!! She's doing ok. She's having a hard time getting dressed and fixing her hair, but she is still driving to work each day! She is one strong woman!!
It was so nice to see my brother Taylor! Neen loves him to death, as do ALL the kids. He painted us some AWESOME pictures while we were there! I can't wait to get them hung on the wall. He and Valerie are supposed to come and see us soon! We can't wait!!
It was also nice seeing Valerie! She and I always have so many laughs. You know, because we're from that same "ERA" LOL!!! She keeps Taylor in line, and the kids love her!
At the circus. We had a Zing Zang Zoom Time! ;) Thanks for a great night Nana!
The girls decided they could see better on the boys shoulders! Thanks Uncle Andrew and Daddy! Watching the elephants paint was so fun!


Amanda, how did it turn out that I saw you 4 out of the 5 days we were there and I didn't get a picture of you or your belly? Makes me sad, but we were so happy to spend time with you! Thanks for spending time with us, and bringing us doughnuts everyday! Boy....we miss doughnuts.

Speaking of doughnuts.....I had some test run before we left to go out of town. When we got back my results were already in the mailbox. :( It seems my cholesterol is way high, my triglycerides are just as high, and my vitamin D is super low. So...it looks like a lot of lifestyle changes are coming my way starting 2 days ago. :( I'm kind of excited though, because I've been wanting to get "healthy" for awhile now. No better time than when a doctor says JUST DO IT!!!!

We were pretty much going the whole time you were here. Looks like a lot of the pics were late night pics... and I was fast asleep by then. I did get a couple of me and the girls at the circus, but they were on my camera. We were so glad to see you guys. And it just makes me look forward to my next trip out there!!
