Houston!

 In April, I was able to go to Houston to visit my friend Sarah Jane and her adorable family.  It's always so fun to take trips to see friends and even more fun to see them in the role of MAMA!  I was there as a designated "helper" as she is flying solo while her husband has taken a new job in TN and they are planning to move.  Carson and Noah had lots of baseball that week.  It was fun to go sit out in the night air and watch munchkin baseball.  Carson and Noah and I played catch everyday and I loved it.  I was so glad that they loved playing outdoors.  It was really humid and sticky, but worth it.  I even got a little colour on my pasty NW skin.

Miss Elizabeth and I played Barbie Princesses and Justin Beiber for the rest of the time.  She is a silly girl.  She is IN LOOOOOVE with Justin Beiber and refers to him as "the Bieb" and her boyfriend.  She's 4.  ha ha.  I took a hilarious video of her singing "Baby" on my phone.  And then there is snuggly baby Emily.  Oh my goodness she is so cute.  She loves it when you give her Eskimo kisses and will actually lean into them to get more.  She will let you snuggle her all day (and don't think I didn't take full advantage).




Emily had been sick one night and one of the mornings I had to get the boys ready for school, lunches packed etc.  You should have seen the list of notes I was taking.  I didn't want to screw anything up for them.  They told me I only missed one thing in their lunches when they got home that afternoon.  Not bad for a rookie!

I had a great time catching up with Sarah Jane and getting to know all of her kids and their growing personalities.  They're very cute and we had a very fun time.
