June Fun

While Matt was still with us, we squeezed in an Astros game with Grandma and Aunt Amanda.

We love our Astros! Even though Springer, Altuve, and Correa were injured we still enjoyed the game.

Such a beautiful sight! All things American still make me a little emotional and the National Anthem guarantees tears. 

Every time we go on a Friday night, the game always ties and we don't know if we'll hang around for the Friday night fireworks.  This time we were lucky and Gurriel scored in the 11th to wrap up the game.

We reluctantly said goodbye to Matt for the next 6 weeks because he had to get back to work in Jakarta.  The kids and I spent the rest of June catching up with loved ones and having some fun, like their golf camp at Augusta Pines.

We stopped by our old street to hug old friends and hang out a little bit.

We made many more trips to Chick-fila and I was thrilled to see their delicious new salads.

We enjoyed a LOT of cookie cakes.  Maybe 6? By the end of the summer, I was almost ready to stage an intervention wtih the kids.

We spent some time with our old friends and in lieu of birthday parties, the boys just had a friends party with everyone all together.

It was lots of fun for me, too! I miss my old neighbors!

Ben was thrilled to have the chance to drive again and won one of the two races.

It was a great afternoon with our old friends.

We were extra happy to spend an afternoon with the Hesters at Main Event.  I was so thankful that our paths met up for a few hours.

We had a fun time at the Museum of Natural Science with Jakarta friends, Lesley and Pam.  I think the grownups had more fun than the kids!

Our wild ones together.

Alex was dying to try the kids obstacle warrior course and killed the spider wall.

The boys patiently waited for haircuts at the barbershop in Conroe.  It's the oldest one in Texas and the only place they want to go, even if it means an hour wait.

More teeth were lost and Alex was happy to find out no braces this year!

The kids had a ton of fun with Grandma and Grandpa while I spent several days in Dallas, first with Jakarta girlfriends and then with Stacey.  It was a pretty wonderful month!
