fun

well, today was a really good day. the lewis family got here on friday and we have been visiting nonstop. it even led to a trip to los fuentes. tonight we went to shelby and justin's wedding. (many thanks to aaron for babysitting our girls and matt.... and watching hannah montana in 3d!) the wedding was beautiful and eric and i were mean cake cutters... ok so eric did most of the cutting but i passed the plates around and smiled at the nice people. anyway.. the wedding was so nice. shelby was beautiful and justin was pretty darn cute. i am so glad they are in brenham!

it was so nice being a grown up tonight. my girls are great, but we all know how nice the grown up time is.

hope you are well

7 hours

Seven hours ago I got on my face book and made my status say "Karla is cleaning Bailee's room... if I am lost later, look there." Let me tell you, it was quite an event. I now have 5 bags of things to take to the mission and 2 bags of trash. This does NOT include clothes! Well, now everything has a place... her dress-up is all cleaned up... her barbies all have heads... i put stuff away and organized stuff. This does not include the 2 days I spent going through her clothes. I am trying to make her life where she can manage her own stuff a little better. We will see. (and no, all of you people you read Jana's blog too... I am not nesting!!!)

My friends Shelby and Justin are getting married on Saturday! The Lewis family is coming into town on Friday! Amy and I went to Navasota and ate at a place called Martha's Bloomers and it was fabulous. Let's see... we played Bocce Ball last night. It rained today! I would say that in general, life is really good.

Hope you are well.

we are back!

Well, yesterday we got back from our fabulous summer vacation! I am sure I will write more about it later, but here are the highlights:

• Camping in Caprock canyon and staying up for an amazing thunderstorm
• Going on a 3 1/2 mile hike with our kids at Lathrop state park in Colorado-- yes they walked it all... except for about 1/2 a mile when Leah was on Daddy's shoulders
• Huge pancakes for breakfast and s'mores for dessert!
• Bailee getting 5 1/2 inches cut from her hair
  
• Spending time camping on "the land"-- I think there were 17 family members total!
• Going to Montrose to hang out and take showers!
• Camping at Taylor Lake where the low at night was 32.
• Going out on a boat with the Sebastian kids
• Spending a lot of time in the car
• Swimming at an RV park in Goodlett, Texas
• Playing in the Arkansas River
• Playing a a COLD water park in Walsenburg, Colorado
• Watching the guys build steps for our deck on "the land"
  

There were so many other things and I enjoyed it all. It was good to get back home too! Today starts the process of getting my life back in order. The vacation was so much fun. I will post more later, but here are a few pics. Let me know what you think!
Hope you are well.
