Saturday in Southeast Texas

This past Saturday, I took the kids to Mom & Dad's house to celebrate my nephew Clark's & my dad's birthdays. All 3 of my sisters & all their kids were there. I had such a great time visiting with all my family & the kids had a lot of fun playing with their cousins! It's times like these that make me miss living in the Golden Triangle.

Clark, Alex & Chloe playing together

Hannah took Alex outside & pushed him on the tire swing.

He had a BLAST!

My niece Hannah is such a sweet & beautiful girl!

Addy didn't want to swing, but she did pull Alex around.

Mr. Cool (did you notice how dirty his shirt is!!! It's cupcake icing.)

Addy & Gilbert the stuffed cat

2 sticks & 2 metal buckets make a perfect drum set

When we left my parents' house, we went to see Nick's parents. 

 Addy played soccer in their backyard

while Alex did this!

This boy loves to get dirty!

Saturday evening, Kelci, Jeff, Roger (an old family friend) & I went to dinner & bowling. I haven't bowled in forever but somehow I seemed to have improved my bowling skills! It was definitley a fun night!

Kelci made fun of me for wearing shorts to bowl in, but I think this is a pretty sweet look! What do you think?

I was winning at one point (frame 3 only, lol) but ended up coming in 3rd (out of 4 people) with a whopping 99. At least I beat Roger!

Sunday morning, the kids & I got up & it was back to Houston for us. But I'm sure it won't be long before we head back to Southeast Texas to visit everyone again!
