Dinner with Friends

A couple of weeks ago we had the best Saturday night with some of our friends and their kids!  Alison and Lindsey came over with their husbands/kids AND Anna even drove out to Katy for dinner with little JB.  Our dinner with friends night started off with 3 trees.  Gordon has been a busy bee working on our yard these days.  He had just bought 3 trees for the backyard and needed a guy friend to help get them into the ground....I guess I'm not strong enough. :)  So, he invited a couple buddies, Cesar and Brett, over to help him (with the promise of cooking them a steak).  Being the party planner I am, I saw a perfect opportunity for a dinner/playdate night!  :)  Even the Barteaus stopped by with their new baby boy! 

The kids have so much fun together....which means the moms have a lot of fun together laughing and catching up with each other.  I'll admit there are some days I miss living in Houston.  But, on nights like this that all disappears.  I'm so happy to have more space for the kids (and all the adults)!  Everyone is happy, happy, happy!   

• They loved playing with JB (note the other tiny baby at the back of the picture).  It's so great having all the baby toys around still.  They sure do come in handy on nights like this!
•  Silly kids!  Both the boys in this photo had ear infections.  Sure didn't stop them from having a great night. 
• Taking JB on a ride. 

We sure are thankful to have such wonderful friends.  I hope these kiddos are friends with each other for a very long time!

Summer Fun

We've had an extremely busy summer (more on that later) so I've been bad about doing my weekly Wonderful Wednesday post.  So, I thought I'd post a few pictures that we've taken over the past few months.  Between summer vacations, our Sunday music class, and just everyday life we have managed to squeeze in some fun activities between all the "house stuff" we've been dealing with.

 

Made a stop by the snowcone stand in our neighborhood!  They get crazy busy on the weekends so going on a random Wednesday is the way to go.  I may or may not have asked G to stand in that outrageous line when I was pregnant.  :)

 We've had a million lunches and dinners at Memorial Park.

 

A couple unforgettable play dates at the Houstonian with some of W's best buds. 

 



Who says life ends when you have a baby?  Having fun watching Daddy play at TopGolf.  We can hardly wait to sign William up for golf lessons. 

We've even had a few date nights.  The picture above was taken at the new wine bar in Midtown, 3rd Floor. 

We've tried out a few new yogurt places.  The terry cloth outfits William has on in the picture above and below are from BabyGap.  They are on sale now so check it out!  They have been perfect for post swimming.  They dry easy and are super comfy. 

We've gone swimming with the Wilsons (great way to make the kiddos tired!).

Gone on some bike rides while we were in Florida.  Are his flip flops not the cutest things ever?!?!  Here's a similar pair that are on sale now!  They have a strap on the back so they don't fall off....perfect for babies.

 

And, last but not least, we had some yummy banana cupcakes at Sprinkles in Highland Village during one of our many play dates!

 

Hope everyone is having a great summer too!  What do y'all do to keep your little ones entertained?  I know I'll need some ideas for next summer.
