RR continued...

Im sorry I didn't post sooner, Jon's Mom, Laura and I...and Noah went to Dallas for a few days to visit her parents. We had a great time..and I will post about that trip once Im finished with RR.

So...one of the best events we had while Jon was here was in his parent's backyard! We had a great outdoor BBQ, pinata, and dancing! It was such a blast! We hung super cute lights out on the back part of the house where a great cement slab is (perfect for basketball when the boys were little, but perfect for DANCING now), we hit a pinata and had watermelon! Not to mention...Jon's famous ribs! Yum! It couldn't have worked out better with all the family that was able to come: Jon's Grandpa and Grandma Houston, Uncle Dan, Aunt Linda and their sweet kiddos(all the way from California), Daniel, Paul and Claire, Sister Mary Jo, Uncle Tom, and of course, Jon's family too:) We had so much fun dancing the night away, eating yummy food, and hitting the pinata.

Here's my boys...Noah really wanted to ride the donkey...and he had fun hitting too!

Here's Noah..sharing his loot with DaDa

Our lil family...dancing our feets off!
I guess it was a lil too early to teach Noah how to two-step!

ahhh yes, don't forget the watermelon!

Some of the Houston men...surely singing to a Willie or Jonny Cash song!

Good looking men ey?

Notice the boots Noah was wearing..this kid LOVES those boots, they happened to be Jon's old boots, also worn by his lil brother Mark..and now...Noah. Yes, the are lil big on him, but he doesn't seem to mind one bit. Guess we know what he will be going as for Halloween!

Later in the week, we took Uncle Dan and kids to Canyon lake. Jon's dad has a great boat...and he really didn't mind too much taking us out. It was so much fun. They tried getting the boys up on skis, rode the inner tubes, and even had inner tube wars whilst being pulled.

I told Jon...Just go in and I will give you the boy...I thought he would be scared, but he loved it, as long as Daddy held him the whole time...he was braver than me. Mommy doesn't swim in the middle of lakes.......

Well...for photo Ops I do

Sweet lil Claire and us...she kept me company in the boat...as I do not swim out there...but I did got out on the tube with Jon...but somehow I always end up getting hurt. Plus, he's a lil misbehaved out there, always trying to tip us over etc...tsk tsk tsk!


We did a lot in the two weeks he was here. My memory is fading bc it all happened so fast. More to come....
