RECENT HAPPENINGS
Phahnnzie's Trip to New York City (Phahnnzie - pronounced "fa-nee" with a silent "z")   The Incident: A Short Documentary
Rebekah's First Piano Lesson
Third Family Golf Outing (March 2007)
Instead of going to Schoebel's and Columbus this year, we decided to go to Newman's Bakery in Bellville for breakfast: We played golf at the course in Bellville: .  I even took a swing at one but I spent the rest of the time in the cart! . We had lunch and dessert at Dairy Queen, of course:
Easter (2007)
Surprisingly it SNOWED the day before Easter in Rusk     . Easter morning was beautiful though and my sweet children looked so cute! . It warmed up enough for the kids to hunt eggs:
Astros Game (May 2007)
We did a tour of Minute Maid before the game but before we did anything, we got our smash pennies: . During the tour we were able to go all over the park including the dugout: . The tour was over at 3:30 and the game didn't start until 7:00, so we drove to the park to play for a little while and feed some ducks: . After Cracker Jacks, cotton candy, hot dogs, popcorn, and lemonade we walked down for a better view:
Scott's Summer Golf (June and July 2007)
Instead of soccer this year, Scott wanted to play golf. We enrolled him in the Little Linkster's tour. He participated in three clinics and played in two tournaments during the summer:
Kemah, Galveston, & The Space Center (June 2007)
We left late on a Wednesday night (after 7-on-7) to go to Kemah. We got to the hotel and got ready for bed: . The next morning, we went to the Kemah boardwalk and were the only one's there for a while. The kids got to ride anything they wanted to without waiting in lines: . After they rode everything (several times) we ate lunch at the Aquarium Restaurant. Then we drove to Galveston to go to the aquarium at Moody Gardens: . We let the kids play on the beach for a while , drove back to the hotel, and let them swim in the hotel pool until dark . The next morning, I worked out in the fitness room while everyone else was sacked out: . We lounged around for a while and then headed to the Space Center:
Oil Ranch (June 2007)
The oil ranch is a place out north of 290. It has a lot for the kids to do and it's wide open for plenty of running! The kids played in the hay barn (even though it was at least 110 inside) , rode horses  , and a lot of other fun stuff including swimming in the pool during a really hot day!
Canyon Lake (June 2007)
The kids went to Canyon Lake for their annual trip with my parents. Jody had 7-on-7 so we didn't go. We gave it up a few years ago anyway because we're not avid campers. We might be if we had a 5th wheel the size of my parents!
Texas World Speedway
There is a NASCAR size track just outside of College Station on Hwy 6 that has races for small cars. The kids loved the little cars! After the races, the kids were pretty worn out!
Katy Ruff Riders
Later that same day, we saw a Ruff Rider game and had second row seats. We were VERY close to the action: After the game, we were able to go on the field and take pictures with the players.
VBS 2007
Addie (our old neighbor) and Talon (our current neighbor) and our kids all attended the sports themed VBS this summer: Jody was able to help this year with recreation while I kept records. It was a family affair this year:
Scott's Baptism
We are so proud that Scott asked Jesus Christ into his heart this year. He told me he asked Jesus into his heart and I asked him when. He told me, "In the shower." It can happen anywhere! He was baptized in July.
Fourth of July
While Dad, Jody, and I were at the Astros game, Scott, Rebekah, and Mother were celebrating America's Birthday at her house:
A Trip to the Movies
During one of the MANY rainy days this summer, we went to the movies to see Evan Almighty: We played a round of Lunar golf after the show:
Rebekah's Gymnastics Camp
Rebekah went to a two-day gymnastics camp in Bellville.
New York 2007
Start spreadin' the news, cause we got to go to New York City this summer! We had such a great time. Click here for the play-by-play.
Splashway
We went to Splashway with my Aunt Cindy and my little 2nd cousins (her grandbabies)  .  Rebekah went down the big slide but preferred the smaller version . Scott went on all the slides  but spent a lot of time floating the lazy river .
Scott Turns 9
Scott had his cinnamon rolls for breakfast and later that day we went to Chuck E Cheese for an early  dinner then to the Rainforest Cafe for a volcano . His party is in a few weeks so more pictures will be coming soon.
Times Square
During ANOTHER rainy day, we went to Times Square to bowl , had pizza for lunch , and then played games in the arcade similar to Chuck E Cheese.
Playground Hopping
We went to eight different school playgrounds to play for about 10-15 minutes on each one. Then we rated each one to decide which one we liked the best. . They got pretty hot, but I had packed cool washcloths in bags of ice. They really liked that! . We finished the day by going to McDonald's for lunch and playing on the indoor playground there .
Zube Park
Zube Park is a Harris County park that has a small train that runs once a month for the public to ride. It took us all over the park for about a 15 minute ride. After we rode it twice, we walked over to play on the playground for a while. .
Health Museum
The health museum had a "Candy Unwrapped" exhibit this summer so we thought we'd go check it out. . There were several displays explaining the history of chocolate and the evolution of different candies but the kids had the most fun trying to burn off a cube of sugar by cycling: They also liked testing the jelly  beans . After seeing all the exhibits, we did our craft and went home .
First Day of School
Rebekah started kindergarten this year and Scott is a third grader
Rebekah Turns Six
Rebekah also had her cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then to Chuck E Cheese for dinner . Since she turned six during the school week, I went to school and brought treats for her class. .
Random Events Throughout the Summer
Fun with boxes: I got about 15 large boxes from the church and we put them down the hall and in the kids' rooms. They wanted to sleep in them so I said, "Why not?!"
Rainy day activity #37: Played with fake snow
Fun at Granny's while we were in New York. The kids really missed us...
Rainy day activity #38: Lay like vegetables all day in the bed and watch Andy Griffith reruns:
Rainy day activity #39: Torture the cat by making him take pictures with stuffed felines:
Rebekah loses first tooth. Before & After
Rainy day activity #40: Homemade scuba gear
Rainy day activity #41: Sculpy creations Scott's - Mama's - Rebekah's -
Memory verse: Each week we had a memory verse. Rebekah memorized hers and wrote it on the board for us .
Rainy day activity #42: Lego creations C3PO got loose in the city... . Lucy Lego was on the scene... The townspeople were fearing for their lives but apparently Batman, a random woman on his foot, and the cavalry (or at least one) was there to save them . The city stayed in tact although it's still under construction
Reading reward: Scott read 10 books this summer and got to pick out a stuffed animal for his prize. The kids got to put a sea animal on the board for every book they read this summer:
Stay tuned for the kids birthday parties coming up in a couple of weeks...
