| Rain in Texas! This is part of our backyard in the pool area. One thing about Houston....when it rains it RAINS! |

| Emilee is mowing the lawn! Since we have 1 1/4 acres we had to get a riding mower. The kids love to help mowing the lawn. That is great for me! |
 |
| Nice Dive Brig! The pool has a deep end and a diving board. The kids spend hours doing all kinds of flips, dives, and other tricks. Notice Mason has no floatation devices. Erin spent the first two weeks of our time here making sure he can swim without them. Now he is like a fish. He can swim from one side of the pool to the other. |
 |
| King of the tube! Most of our toys only last a few weeks. Rough play and Chloe result in enourmous holes in them! |
 |
| All kinds of creatures! These are cicada husks that we find all over the place. Houston is full of bugs and stuff. We are discovering all kinds of wild things here. At night, the kids chase toads, frogs, and lizards. They never tire of catching them. |

Dad has declared war on the pocket gophers! Sadly, our lawn was full of annoying pocket gophers. Mounds of dirt were popping up all over the place. A nice stroll through the lawn almost resulted in a broken ankle due to all the underground tunnels. This device is designed to distribute poison into their lair's. I am happy to report that I AM WINNING!. |
