Family Time in July!

On July 23rd, my mom, sister and brother drove down from El Paso to spend some time with us here in Houston. They left this past Monday; it was so hard to see them go. We has such a wonderful visit; it was perfect and just what we all needed! I wanted to share some pictures from our visit; although these don't do it justice and only cover some of the things we did.
Aw... it's us three kids. My brother Josh is going to start his freshman year in HS and my sister Selina starts her junior year... oh how time has flown by. I remember when they were little... it is great relating to them as young adults now though. We have so much fun; I just can't wait until we all live closer!

On Friday and Saturday night Jason and Josh went out to the deer lease to hunt some boars. They had a great time even though they didn't get anything. This was Josh's first time on a deer lease and to shoot Jason's big riffle. He is a great shot! He has natural talent! Above he's trying on Jason's 'leaf suit' he uses while hunting in the deer stand. Can you see him...? I didn't think so... it's camouflage! JK

While the guys went hunting, us girls went shopping. We went to the Galleria the first evening as well as a great Thai place for dinner. We each got a manicure and pedicure and went to the outlet mall by my house on Saturday. It was great having guy time and girl time! I think we all enjoyed it.

On Sunday night we all enjoyed some time together, just the five of us! We went to Dave and Busters and had a blast. I'm not a big 'game person' so to speak, but it was a lot of fun! Here we are 'very proud' of our Dave and Busters game cards!

(Who says girls can't shoot? Selina and I kicked some butt!)

No game night is complete until you play a game or two of 'Whack a Mole'!

On Monday we went to College Station so my sister could speak with an advisor from A&M. This was a good time for her to start looking into what she needs to do to apply for colleges in a year. Two more years and my sister will be all grown up! Four my years and my brother will be too! A&M... here they come! Gig'em. (Although A&M will be a wonderful place for them, we really want them to go where God leads them. He knows best! He is the one that led me to A&M and I am so thankful! Little did I know that I would meet the best man in the world here at A&M! I love you sweetie, xoxoxoxo...!)

GIG'EM!! Whoop!

On Friday night we went bowling; it was a lot of fun. I was very impressed with some of the shots everyone took. Me on the other hand... not my best bowling night... (Do you call it a bowling shot? I don't think so... Perhaps a Roll...a Play... a Hand...I'll figure it out some day.)

We are so serious...ly in love!!!

So excited.... we went to Shoguns after bowling. It is always entertaining when they cook your meal right in front of you. I'm so impressed with their talent.

(Yum... chicken broth, or Onion Soup as they called it!)

Okay, I was really proud of myself I have to admit! I was able to use chopsticks for the first time; I mean, really use them! After how many years...?!

Our meal was wonderful; we stuffed ourselves!

And now... they are back in El Paso. I sure do miss them. Texas is just too big... I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family though. I love you all so much and I am so proud of each of you! Thank you for taking the time to come down here and visit us!
