Better late than never

We were able to host our "end of the school year" party today! The last day of school (June 02) was a bust due to rain, and more rain, and more rain. Houston has seen its fair share of rain and storms recently. These rain and storm systems have lead to serve flooding in towns displacing homeowners and even deaths.  It's very sad!

The kids devoured the pizza, juice boxes, water, fruit, chips and cupcakes. And...the inflatable slip-N-slide was a huge hit with the 14+ kiddos too. All in all, the party went well. No injuries! Lots of laughs and memories made. WIN!!

Summer

Summer just isn't summer without a container (or two or three) of flowers. This morning after dropping M.R off at basketball camp, I some how diverted to ACE Hardware and not straight HOME. I just wanted to see what they had for annuals! Everything was picked over to be honest, but time was not on my side, as my morning "to do" list had to get checked off ASAP. I did managed to find a few okay looking flowers though that needed a home. If all goes well this brown thumb will become a green one. Just maybe my better half and I will get a fall garden planted too.

Mom-Mom arrived safely from the Hook, and will be here to help us celebrate M. R's 8th birthday!

The kiddos, well all of us get spoiled while mom (mom-mom) visits. The kids have already sweet talked their way to getting new video games. Along with a trip to their our favorite frozen yogurt place; U-Swirl, and dinner at Tin Roof BBQ this evening.

and the big kids got a "prize" too! A Coleman Road Trip Propane Portable Grill LXE. I can not wait to use it this weekend camping at Yogi Bear Jellystone Park.

The Mr. can even make his famous weekend breakfast with the swap top cast iron griddle!

Hello...its been FOREVER

 ....3 years to be exact!

It's CrAzY, how you stumble upon things YEARS later. My long lost blog! Things are constantly changing and forever busy at the Moore's. But for one we are still a family, not divorced, and living life everyday.

Michael John, Maddie and I made a check mark on the "Moore's Summer Bucket List" Dads working and we, the kids and I benefit from ALL his hard work. We love you honey, and appreciate everything you do for our family.
