weekend happenings

This morning we packed up and headed down the freeway to sign the contract for the new house!!! Next week we'll be closing on it and moving our things in! I feel like Houston will always be home, but we are so looking forward to new adventures in another city and growing closer as a family.

We spent Sunday at my aunt and uncle's house for a family 4th of July celebration. The kids had so much fun in a kiddie pool and eating the yummy patriotic cupcakes and hamburgers.

Trent sat in the dining room talking to my grandparents for a long time, it was priceless!

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!

Rain is a good thing

Yesterday was another miserably hot day, and the kids were wanting to play in the kiddie pool. We all changed into out swimsuits and headed outside with watermelon and juice pouches.

Josh suddenly wanted to wash the truck, so the kids jumped all over that. Grabbing rags, soaking them with soapy water, and dancing while they washed...occasionally gathering soapy bubbles on themselves to get clean. :)

As usually is the case, it started raining in the middle of washing the truck. Josh grabbed the water hose and started spraying us all with it. We spent the next 15 minutes playing tag, while Josh sprayed us and raindrops drenched us. Yes, we are that family.

Now the truck needs to be washed again, but at least the kids made memories! Tomorrow we're getting together with family for 4th of July. We're bringing stuff to make s'mores, and baking patriotic cupcakes in the morning. Fireworks are banned here this year due to the drought we've had, so maybe giving the kids a sugar high will be just as fun. ;) have a great holiday weekend!

Our {soon to be} new home

It feels like we've been waiting forever to close on our new house...but we should be doing it next week! I'm so excited to start this new journey! It will be so nice seeing this every day:

Definitely a change in scenery! Now we just have to sell our lease our current house. Pray that it happens quickly so we can settle in without that weighing on us. We should be moving in the middle of July, being sure to drink tons of water since we're in the throws of the hottest summer in Texas history! Have a great 4th of July!
