Katy, TX

Well, it's been hot here in Texas. I've spent every day out at the pool...I'm slowly turning a golden brown, slowly. I have so much sunscreen on that the sun has to go through so many layers before it hits my skin.

I've been spending the days with my cousin Carolyn, her mom & dad, and my cousins, Aleisa, Jarrod and Matthew. Throw into the mix Rosemary, who is family, and 2 dogs, and it's exploding with fun. See below for shots from the last couple of days.

The Gang

My cousin Carolyn is on the right. She used to work for Target but is now in retirement. I'm jealous.

Matthew & Aleisa

I love this shot of Matthew and Aleisa because you can see how tall Matthew has gotten (around 6').

Jarrod

Here's a shot of Jarrod after the staff at Joe's Crab Shack sang Happy Birthday.

Memorial Day BBQ

Susan, Eric & I spent Memorial at the Turners for a BBQ. Steve made the most flavorful chicken kabobs for lunch. Very tasty. We got to spend time talking and holding my goddaughter. Here's Eric with Sophia.
