Memorial Day weekend and other random stuff

So, we have been SUPER busy! The month of May flew by--as you can tell from our one entry on the blog for the whole month. We have one week of school left and I'm really hoping life will slow down just a little bit. We've been running around like crazy going to dance, baseball, end of school activites, and much more. But dance and baseball are over now (stayed tuned to posts about these activities!) We hope to be spending our days at the pool very very soon.

This past Memorial Day weekend we were excited to have our cousins come for a spur-of-the-moment visit. My brother and his family live in Laredo and so they like to get out of town every so often. We love having them! Here is Maisy and Olive in their matching dresses. They were tickled to be wearing the same dress.
Here's my brother and his wife at Wil's baseball game. That's Eliot there little boy. They were such good sports because in the 4th inning it started pouring rain. I mean the kind of one-minute-it-was-sunny-and-the-next-it's-dumping-water rain storm. But, we survived.
The kids were so good and we had a great time. Thanks for coming Cam and Kress! Come back soon!!

Okay, so here come the random parts of this post. Our rose bush has been so gorgeous this season. We love having *the yellow rose of Texas* right in our front yard. Oh, and they smell delicious too!

And I realized I never showed an updated picture of our family room. We finally found a paint color that we liked. I got the curtains sewed and mounted. And to tie up the room--a few throw pillows. I realized that gold pillows look a lot more aesthetic in the room than gold walls. So yea!

better posts coming soon...
