TEXAS trip

I had to put these pictures on here. While we were home, part of my mom's birthday present was to have us paint her front door red. It looks so, so, so good! It totally changes the look of the front of their house. Plus for Mother's Day we gave her red pillows and cushions for the bench and rocking chairs in the front and patio furniture in the backyard. And my dad planted alot of flowers in the planters to add color. It was fun to spice it up a little bit at my mom's house!

We went to Texas for a week with my sister and her kids. The kids did so great on the trip in the LONG 15 hour drive. We had so much fun in the warm weather being at Marnee and Pots' house. We got to go swimming, see Marnee and Pots at work, play outside in the backyard, go to Peter piper, and celebrate Amanda and Marnee's birthdays among a few other things! It was a great trip!!!

Here is Zach opening his "un-birthday" present, the kids shared "their" birthday with Amanda, and each of them got a present and a cupcake just for themselves
