Kourtney's texas style open house

I am slowly but surely coming around to being a texan. Kourtney just had her open house here in Sugar Land and made is casual and all southern themed. We had so much fun thinking of how to use all of hte things that represent Texas. So the food was Frito pie with blue bell ice cream sundaes. Lemonade in jars and super great texas sheet cake. It was also fun breaking Bretts (Kourtney's fiance) parents in the first night they got here. We took them out at 11:00 at night to a random field down the road and we cut down sunflowers to put around the house. They were great sports about everything and a huge help! The open house was a huge success and Kourtney and Brett are as cute as ever.

Summer Fun!

This summer has been so great! Kacey and Jenna my sister in laws have been here in Texas visiting and it has been so fun. 9 cousins all together can be chaos, but it also has been so fun to see them all get closer. Robby loves being "a big kid" with Ashlyn, Drew and Maddy and Natalie loves being the baby who everyone wants carry around and hug. She has surprised us all by not wanting to miss anything! We were driving to Galveston and trying to keep the kids entertained by playing I spy. Natalie loved gasping and clapping as she pointed out the window trying to play along. Our family is so blessed to have such great family around who all work together and try to get closer. Our latest family tradition is a triathlon (kid style) We stayed up till 4 in the morning making iron on t-shirts and laughing together. Then the next day we walked to the Quinlan's house about 1/2 mile away and stopped for Popsicles half way there. Then we rode bikes from the Quinlan's house through a green belt where we stopped for a water balloon fight. When we got home we did swim relays until we were tired and then we just played around in the pool. I am so excited for next year and love doing active things together. Thanks to the whole family for working so hard and having such great attitudes about everything. WE LOVE SUMMER!
