F.H.S. 20 Years!!

Ahhh....20 year class reunion.  I can hardly type that without having an aneurysm!!  We had a great time swapping stories and reminiscing about the "good ole' days".  Once together, the gang fell right back into the swing of things and it felt like it'd been a couple weeks, instead of a couple decades apart. Thanks for a great time everyone...let's try and not go as long until the next one!!

A giant size beer for Wookie.

Shotgun time!!  

Free's custom bean bag toss.  He and Wenzel had quite the run going until they were hustled by Andrea and her baseball hall-of-fame hubby!

The Fab4...great planning with you girls!!

Old buds back together.  If only Rad could have attended!

Texas 2012: Houston, Part 2.

The last leg of our journey involved an overdue visit with Shane's bestie and my clueless mujera, Paul and Julie (and little Maddy)!  It was great to catch up and see their new house, even if it was just for a night!   Thanks to all for hosting our crazy family of four!  We enjoyed seeing everyone! 

Texas 2012: Port Aransas

We spent the next 3 days down by the gulf with Pop and Nana in Port A.  They essentially had a waterpark in their backyard, much to the excitement of the Riddlettes.  We headed to the beach, which Layla loved, but our usually fearless Marley wanted little to do with the water.    Well, let's clarify, she wanted to be in the deep part of the water, just not up on the beach with the dirty sand.  Weirdo.  We also took our annual boat ride to St. Joe's for an afternoon of splashing around, combing for seashells, and picnicking on our favorite quiet island!

Texas 2012: Houston

We started off our week-long Texas adventure in Houston, this year!   The girls got to spend some quality time with their Aunt Shelley, Uncle Brian, Mimi, and cousins Kade and Kenna.  It was pretty much non-stop fun for the entire 3 days.  We saw Madagascar 3 (layla loved, marley was bored), went shopping at a super cute girly boutique, spent the day at a water park, and clocked many hours in Aunt Shelley and Uncle Brian's pool! 

Vilas Zoo

First trip to the zoo this summer!  Check!   We ventured out with our pals, Jill, Abigail, and Olivia!  Notice, all the pics are from the playland...that's pretty much where we spent our day!  

Cleary, Marley wanted to be the "polar bear".

No more baby slides for this girl!

 Marley and Abigail racing to the top!

Our usually apprehensive, girl, climbed to the top of the rock wall.  Once up there, however, panic set in, and she needed some assistance down.   Proud of her for trying, though!

Our usually non-apprehensive girl, climbed to the top when i had turned around for two seconds.  My panic set in and needed to assist her down. Though, she wanted NONE of my help!

T-Ball

Layla had her first experience with organized team sports...t-ball!!   She liked getting her own "team shirt", but i fear that may be about it.  She gets extremely frustrated when she doesn't get something right away, as noted in the last picture.  She threw down her glove, defeated,  and needed a little pep talk from Daddy.  When we asked if she had fun, she said, "no.  i like swimming and dancing.  I want to go play on the swings."   What can we say?  She's our artsy girl.   Perhaps, individual sports are more her cup of tea!

A-B-C's

Marley - belting out the classics!
