Astros Game

Ryan and Tyler enjoyed some boy time together this evening at a Houston Astros game. Tyler was so excited about their special outing. I am so so thankful for all the special opportunities this move has allowed us, and special times between Tyler and Ryan.

Summer Days

It is hard to believe we are wrapping up June and about to welcome July. The past few days have been filled with yard work and bike rides. 

Yard work just got a lot faster with a new... well, new to us riding lawn mower. One of the new Administrators to our district was looking to sale their riding lawn mower. We are so thankful for this addition. It means we will have more time with Ryan on the weekends. Georgia Kate wanted to test out, but once it started she wanted of.

We have also made several trips around our block the past dew days. It is so much fun to be in a neighborhood again. We are still loving our Summer days.

Evening Stroll

I think Georgia Kate is finally getting the bike riding bug. Tonight she was all about doing it herself, well she occasionally asked for a push to get started. Please excuse the outfit, as she also likes to pick out her own clothes some days. 

I see many fun evening strolls around the block in our future. GK wants to be able  to keep up with her Big Brother and Daddy whom also have bikes. I guess I am the only one left with out a bike.... it is a good thing I like walking. 

 

Girls Weekend

The end of school also marked a fun girls weekend was right around the corner. I hosted three of my childhood friends.... I am still shocked that they wanted to come to Brookshire for a girls weekend. But, I was the perfect meeting spot as one was coming from New Orleans and two from Temple. We truly had a fun low key weekend. It was just what my heart was needing. We spent a lot of time soaking up the sun and when not in the sun you would find us watching movies in our pj's. A lot of talk and laughter filled our hours together.
So thankful for these beautiful friends. Their visit was just what my heat was in need of. I love each of these beautiful women and I have so may precious memories with each of them that I will always hold close to my heart. These are the ones that do hard with me, and good with me. I love you: Rebekah, Lindsay, and Heather.
Some days my heart longs for home and the gift of "old" friendships. I am slowly forming new friendships here, which has been an absolute blessing. However, I will admit that lonely feeling still surrounds me at times. I have learned that friendships play such a huge a role in your life, they help form you in a beautiful and encouraging way. In my life right now 'new' friends are something that my heart cries for, but I will be forever thankful for "old" friends who have walked all sorts of roads with me and will forever be by my side.

Special Delivery

On the last day of school Tyler and Georgia Kate each got some special mail from my Cousin, Claire. They each opened their box and they were filled with ring pops... they could have stopped with that, but there was also a note for them to read. Tyler and Georgia Kate both said yes to this special request. 

In November Tyler and Georgia Kate will be in their first wedding. This is extra special as we were a apart of the engagement between Claire and Marshall. This special delivery came as a surprise to me, as well. Super excited for Claire and what a joy it is to experience  and be a part of this special time in her life. 

What a beautiful wedding it will be, and what a honor it will be to be a part of it.

 I think Georgia Kate got a little spoiled by all the ring pops, because every time she goes and gets the mail with me she always asks if there is suckers in there. Such sweet memories ahead as we prepare our Ring Bearer and Flowergirl for a big day.

Pool Hopping

When you get tired of swimming in your own pool. You must find another pool spot. This week we found just that at the Katy YMCA. It is a perfect fit for both Tyler and Georgia Kate. We went twice this week. I am so thankful that there are other options semi close to us. We have enjoyed all of our fun days in the sun.

Fundraiser

Last night we went and supported the Royal Junior High Cheerleaders. The Cheerleaders were raising money for summer cheer camp, so we had a fun night of going out to eat and tattoos.
 Both Tyler and Georgia Kate were memorized by the cheerleaders. Tyler just wanted to hang out where they were, and Georgia Kate had 3 tattoos before the end of the night. Such a fun evening supporting our favorite district!
