Finally after living here in Texas since 2004 Larry and I were proud to be able to host Kim and her kids at our house instead of trespassing on them in San Antonio. I was really surprised at how strange it was to be the hostess. Of course I failed miserably because of my lack of enthusiasm, lack of energy and large amounts of forgetfulness. Deep down I wished I could have mustered the true hostess in me and had gourmet meals, tons of great activities for the kids or more age appropriate toys for Kim's older kids....but I guess we'll have to save all that for another century when I'm not pregnant.
All joking aside, we did have a great time. I was glad to be able to have the space for Kim to crash in a real bed with a bathroom that was mostly clean. We had so much fun enjoying the pool and the local spray parks to beat the heat. Even a few spontaneous "dance offs" were a joy to watch. The best part was being able to leave the older kids at the house while Ben napped for quick trips to the grocery store. I can't wait for my kids to grow up and help out more!! Hopefully soon Ray will be able to join the family on a trip up here. I'm sure he's dying to see a house bigger then a shoebox!

It was great to enjoy this whole sprinkler park to ourselves!
Let's see how many girls can fit around 1 sprinkler
Grant was a great babysitter for Mr. Wanderer
Thank heavens Eliza has the strength of 10 men. She had to take all the kids for rides on her back...upside down!
(personally I think deep, deep down she just wanted all of them to kiss her #*&$)
Super Silly Senoritas
Boys gotta stick together in a house FULL of girls!
