Halloween 2009

This year we decided to go to our Church's Trunk or Treat dressed as Gotham City's favorite characters! It literally took all day Saturday to put all the costumes together, but we pulled it off and made some fun memories...

Our Papa Turns 98!!!

I know not very many people can say that they have a grandparent who is 98, but fortunately me and my family can. Our "Papa" as we call him, turned 98 this October and it was fun to get together and celebrate his special day with him!

Staycation Summer

Well, here's our summer in a quick nutshell....

We start off our summers with Ethan's Birthday...he turned 9 this year.

For our family this summer, we bought season passes to Houston's Splashtown. The kids had so much fun going on all the water park rides with their friends and cousins.

We had a family reunion in west Texas...it was an Irish theme. We had so much fun seeing family and the kids enjoyed the water balloon toss.

And last but not least, before the summer ended, we decided to take the kids to an Astros game. It wasn't the most pleasant experience, with the twins ready to go home after about 30 minutes of being there, but we toughed it out until the 8th inning!

Ethan and Greg were actually at this historical game...
