Space Houston

We had a really fun day today! Grandmaw came and we all went to Space Center Houston, which Matt calls just Space Houston. This is Matt and Grandmaw about to tour the space shuttle.Matt at the escape hatch of the shuttle!

He looks like he could really control this thing!

Here are Daddy and Matt about the tour the space shuttle!

Evan was enjoying his new ride. It was great to take to the Space Center!

This is the Space Center's futuristic race car!

Next we went on a Tram tour to the training facilities. This is Evan and Grandmaw standing in line. It was super high security!

This is the replica of the International Space Station. All of these are where the astronauts really train. There were people on the floor working on them while we were there.

Again, the real replica of the front of the shuttle. This one rotates up to a 90 degree tilt so the astronauts can train in real situations.

This is the bay where they train!

This is the end of the training floor. The white box is the system that they are working on right now to put on the space station that will change urine into water. We have heard about that on TV and there it is!! That was so cool!

This is the real Saturn V. It came to Houston on a ship and was pulled to this location. Then they built the building around it.

These engines are so huge!

Evan liked the astronauts!

This is the podium that JFK stood behind at Rice when he made his famous speech about the space program going to the moon.

We were looking at the moon rover.

This is Matt touching a real moon rock.

Grandmaw and Evan are looking at big moon rocks!

Matt steering a shuttle!

Matt the Astronaut!

This is called the Martian Matrix. It shots balls all over the place and the kids run after them. Needless to say, Matt loved it!!

This is Matt's souvenir Shuttle that he picked out!

It even came with astronauts to work on it!

We had a great time and can't wait to go back again.

Catching Up!

Sorry it has been so long! So many things have been happening.

I have started going to Water Aerobics in our neighborhood, so these are some pics of what Daddy and the boys have been doing on Monday nights.

This is Matt at his friend Jacob's Birthday Party. They had this awesome slide!

This is Evan's new trick!

This is the cozy coupe that Honey and Granddaddy got Evan for his birthday. They want to make it a two seater!!

This has caused a few fights!! :)

Like Father, Like Son! Matt does everything Marley does!

For the 4th of July, we went to our lake lot. It is so nice and relaxing!

On Saturday, Grandmaw and Pawpaw and Brandi, Jason, Asher, and Aynsli came to play with us at the lake. This is the wagon that Grandmaw and Pawpaw got Evan for his birthday. He loves it!!

This much fun is so tiring!! :)

Matt is really getting good at casting his line!

When we got home, our new waterslide had arrived that Evan got from Grandmother Len. The boys played in it all afternoon!

A few kisses from Evan to all of our friends and family!

Water Slide Fun

Thank you Grandmother Len for Evan's Birthday Money!! This is what he picked out. They played on it for about 2 hours Sunday afternoon. They love it!!

More Evan's Birthday

Our friends Cap, Tracy, Hannah, and Quaid came over tonight to celebrate Evan's Birthday with his favorite dinner of spaghetti and a Mickey Mouse Cake! This pic looks so much like one we have of Matt.


Matt and Hannah enjoying our pool

I love this tummy!!
All four kids got in the pool but the adults thought it was a little cold!

We went inside for dinner, all clean!

Happy Birthday to me!

Until the cake eating started!

And then it was all over Evan! And in his hair and ears!

What a mess! But so much fun!!!

Evan's First Birthday

I can't believe my baby is a year old today!! He had a great day! He went to Mrs. Kathy's and then went to school with Mommy where he could practice his walking in wide open spaces. We took him to Monument Inn to eat. When we got home, we opened a few presents. We will have cake tomorrow so I will post some more!

Month of May

The start of the month we went out to dinner with the Landry's, Johnson's and Clapp's. Here is a pic of all of the kids!

This one is of us swimming on Mother's Day!

Evan riding a horse! He loved it and Matt would not get close.

I love this face! :)

Evan can stand up and take steps now. He is almost running!!

Especially when he is pushing a toy!

Clean Baby!!

Beautiful Weather

The weather was beautiful today, so we got to play outside all afternoon!

Marley pulled to boys in a wagon behind the tractor for a long time!

As usual, we got more pics of Evan than of Matt. I thought these were cute and I have some pics of Matt when he was about this age in the same outfit. They look just a like!










Evan also decided to push Matt's truck across the yard and walk behind it. So these are technically his first steps! :)
