July has been busy

A little update since I haven't done that here in a while! 

July is turning out to be a busy month for our little household.  Besides having Wooky injured earlier this month (still don't know what happened to the poor animal), it's been a costly one too. 

The first weekend was 4th of July!  My DH likes to go in with his parents and buy a boat load of fireworks.  This year we skimped a little, meaning we didn't have any leftover like we usually do.  Ya, we go nuts.  Even after 9 years in Texas, crazy fireworks are still a novelty for us wayward Californians!  

Here are a few pics!!

My girls!

The following weekend, we headed to Houston for a family reunion.  Yes, I know I'm from CA, but most of the extended family on my mom's side, are all from Texas.  It was just an overnight trip for us, but it was nice to get out of town, and even nicer to be surrounded by our dear family.  My mom & grandparents flew out from CA.  My Aunt's family drove from CA and my Uncle and his family drove from CO.  After the reunion, my mom and I took the girls to the beach for a few hours.

P2 HATED IT!!!!!  She screamed for the first hour and a half.  While P1 was having  a blast swimming all around, P2 wasn't having any part of it....UNTIL the last 30 minutes we were there.  She played in the sand and had a great time.  Silly girl!!!  It was gorgeous there.  Refreshing, clear (no oil!) water, and soft sand!  I could have spent a week there.  Maybe next summer!  Here are some pics of the beach!

I also took this video and I think I need to send it in to AFHV!  It's pretty self-explanatory!

Next weekend P1 and I will be attending the theatre to see my all time favorite musical!  Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!  I LOVE this show so much!  I've seen it many times and can't wait to share the experience with P1.  My inlaws bought us (DH & I) the tickets for our anniversary back in April, but DH has since opted out.  Fine with me!  I'm always up for mother-daughter bonding with my princess!!  We'll do lunch downtown and then head off to our show!  We both are excited!  Which reminds me, I need to load one of the soundtracks (I have many!) onto my IPod so we can listen every day this week in the car!  She needs to be able to singalong too! :)

THEN...the next weekend, we have my FIL's 60th birthday!!!!! Now my DH is only 33, so to have a dad that is in his 60s, seems SOOOO old to me.  Shhh, don't say anything!  My mom is in her late 50s, but still, that sounds better than being in your early 60s.  Anyway, so that will conclude our busy July!
