Houston Activities

so, I put these pictures in backwards so you get to see what we have been up to most recent to when we first moved in... I don't have ALL the pictures we've taken but here are some highlights.

On Saturday we celebrated our last weekend with no responsibility. We went to the beach (sorry no pictures) and an Astro's home game. I had never been to a professional base ball game and it was so much fun. I was super surprised at how much Clair enjoyed it too. She would stand up on the rail and would yell and clap with every one else. She danced to the songs and enjoyed a hot dog (you have to have a hot dog at a base ball game!).

We finally got a washer and dryer! Laundry day was huge but it was worth waiting to get our own. Now we can do the laundry every day if we wanted... Clair was so excited at our new toys that she just had to help. She got a little distracted taking the clothes out and putting them into the basket when she found a sock. She then tried to put the sock on.
BLUE BELL ice cream is the brand everyone here buys. As you can tell we like it too :)
Caleb is growing up so fast. He is determined to be apart of everything when he is awake. In fact right now he is trying to balance sitting on my lap while I type. He doesn't want to be left behind. He is starting to smile and talk. Oh, I just love this little man!
I love our back porch. This is when it still had boxes piled everywhere from moving in... now it is all clean and the perfect play place for little Clair to ride her car, eat a popsicle, and feel the heat. We have really enjoyed marking up the walls with chalk.
This is after swimming in our apartment's pool. We came in and watched a movie and had popcorn. We are trying to start to teach Clair to swim. Right now is learning to be okay with our face in the water. Jason was having her jump to him when she asked for him to move aside. She then jumped into the water thinking that she had, had enough practice. Jason let her go all the way under before grabbing her hoping she would learn her lessing and know she needs him around still.
This was at our ward party. The first time Clair actually got in the pool without coaxing and actually liked it.
This is my wonderful family. We are a happy family and enjoying our many many blessings.
