Cheer Night at Mod Pizza

The cheerleaders had a fundraiser at Mod Pizza. We had church activities this evening, so we stopped by to grab dinner first. Lexi sat with her friends. Jordan and I sat in the front of the restaurant. The food is very tasty. 

Making Brigadeiros

The Young Women's activity tonight was at Katia's house. She taught them how to make Bridageiro. We had eaten them at her parties before and I always figured that it was so delicious, fancy and smooth that it must be complicated. It was actually fairly easy.

Pi Day

We celebrated Pi day by going to Pie in the Sky in Conroe. My mom had an appointment with her doctors today. We went out to lunch while they were gone.

Last Chemo for Grandma

We're at Grandma and Grandpa's house for the first half of Spring Break. Grandma went to her last chemo appointment today. Fortunately, the Oncologist told her that she didn't have to do it. That's because her hands and feet are very numb. She has quite a bit of nerve damage from chemo. Anyway....she is done with chemo!!! She is very excited. They took us all out to the Club House for Pasta Night to celebrate.  

Costco Lunch

Mexican Food

Papa took us out for Mexican Food this evening. It is a yummy Mexican Restaurant across from their neighborhood. Picture above includes: Lexi, Grandma, Papa, Jordan, Mom, Aunt Paige, Katherine, and Jaxson.

Dinner on Christmas Eve

After church today, we headed right to Grandma and Papa's house to let the Christmas Festivities begin. Uncle Alma and Aunt Paige were already there. We shared a really nice dinner and enjoyed chatting. Of course, we have Tutti Fruiti (the wiener dog) with us. 

Thanksgiving 2017

Thanksgiving at Grandma and Papa's house was amazing. The food was delicious and the kids got to help cook. Lexi's apple pie tasted like a regular one with sugar. 

Crawfish Boil

We have a good friend from church (Kathy Russell) that loves to have huge block parties. Tonight, it was a crawfish boil. They even had live music with lots of legendary country songs. Jordan was at my mom's house, so Miriam, Lexi and I went. Miriam could only stay a few hours before her babysitting gig. Lexi and I had a blast though. She spent most of her time with the cutie above and I talked to that cutie's mom, Jacqui, most of the time. We also ate, but not much of the crawfish boil stuff. I had one crawfish, some corn, and potatoes that were extremely spicy. I think Lexi ate mostly corn (one of her favorite things).

Dewberry Picking

There are rows and rows of dewberries on the edge of grandma & Papa's neighborhood. Katy (Malcolm's daughter), who lives in the same neighborhood, told them about these gems. We went there to pick dewberries several times and even the thorns didn't stop the kids from loading up and wanting to go back.

Costco Dinner

Costco Dinner

Swim team is keeping us quite busy. It is every day after school. We had to run errands today to catch up a little. We went to Costco and grabbed a cheap dinner while we were there.

Rainforest Cafe

Before leaving Galveston, we went to Rainforest Cafe.  Unlike the other Rainforest Cafe restaurants that I've been to, this one has a big volcano that erupts.  It also have a river rafting ride.  Since the wait was fairly long, we decided to try the ride.  You float around and look at various mechanical animals.  The kids enjoyed it most.  We were starving once we finally got seated.  After the meal, we indulged on a volcano brownie & ice cream dessert.  Yum! 

Celebrating First Grade Champ

 Lexi had a great year.  Not only were her grades all in the mid to high A's, but she is officially reading on a 5th grade level.  I told her that we would celebrate by going out to dinner.  My boss had given me a gift card to Applebee's a while ago and this was the perfect excuse to use it.  Yeah Lexi!!!
