This past week Greys cousin Shaelin has come and spent some time with Grey and with Gramma Dee. We had Shaelin for a few nights over here and I was able to do some "girly" things! If you have not been to Libby Lu, then you are missing out! She had a blast. She got her hair and make-up, and nails done, and got to pick out some fun bath stuff as well. It was so fun to get to do something totally out of the realm of possiblity with a boy! Anna and Craig brough Alaina down and spent the weekend. It was a great weekend and I failed to take any pictures. The kids got in lots of time together and did so well. It's so great Grey has these awesome cousins who love him so much and are so wonderful with him!

Rusk State Park:



We took a few days off and took Grey to the Rusk State Park to ride the Texas State Railroad. Grey loves trains, so he was so excited to ride it! The park is beautiful and very quiet, relaxing. I would definately recommend it to anyone looking to get out of the city for a while.

Cousin Time:

This week Greys cousin, Alaina, has come to spend some time with us and with Gramma Dee. I took the kids to the waterpark in Rowlett, and they had a blast!

Fathers Day:

We celebrated Fathers Day a day early. Grey and I took Billy to dinner and to the drive-in movie theater in Ennis. We saw Fantastic Four and Pirates of the Caribbean. It was a great day just being together and enjoying Daddy's pick for movies. If you haven't done the drive-in, you should go. It was great family entertainment and a fun way to spend time together.

Decisions, Decisions:
Well, after lots of prayer, we have finally made the decision and placed membership at the Wylie Church of Christ. We really enjoyed our time at Prestoncrest, but we needed something that was a better fit for our busy family. We really like the Wylie church and are glad to have such a good church so close to home. We can make it to Wednesday night services after a work day with no problems, and Sundays are just all around less frantic! We will miss all our friends from Prestoncrest, but we feel this is what is best for our family at this time.

I'm so far behind in blogging. So much has been going on. Billy and I had our 10th wedding anniversary. We are planning a family trip to Disney World this fall to celebrate. It's been a great 10 years, marked with the highest of highs (having Grey) and the lowest of lows (losing Billys Dad), but we've stood strong together and I wouldn't change that. Billy and I married young, so we will get the joy of growing up together and celebrating many events together!

Grey is keeping us busy, as always. He is so fun and such a joy to us. He is really in to singing and goes everywhere singing his songs and playing. I love hearing him and knowing that he is happy enough to sing all day. He is a great boy and we are so lucky to have him.

Last weekend we went out to Kerrville to visit my Gramma. It was a great time. Grey got to ride the "tractor" (riding lawnmower) and throw rocks in the creek. We had a ton of rain over the weekend and the creek was really up and flowing. Grey had a blast playing there. I got in some great time with my Gramma and learned a family recipe that has not been written down, so got that preserved. I also was able to work on sewing some and with my Grammas help made a really cute skirt (if I do say so myself). So, while the boys were busy outside, the girls were busy inside and it was all around a wonderful weekend that I will cherish.
