Mark took a new job offer the first week in August. We felt this was an answer to many prayers and felt great about accepting the job. The catch was that he has to work in Houston, Texas first to train and until they can have California open and ready for him to take the regional position- which could take 6-8 weeks...or more. SO, we took the opportunity of two weeks left until school started and wanting to spend some time together after not seeing much of Mark all summer long, and we packed up and hit the road for a long 30+ hour roadtrip to Texas! It couldn't have worked out more perfect!! Mark finally has a steady job and me and the kids got to spend lots of time with my family!
It worked out that Aunt Kelli and Uncle Shaun had a trip planned to Destin that first week so we stayed with Mema and Grandpa for a week. The kids and I were able to visit and meet up with two of my best friends growing up, Amy and Becca, and it was so great to see them and their cute kiddos. We went swimming lots and spent lots of time just relaxing at Mema's while Grandpa and Mark worked. On Grandpa's day off we decided to do something fun and head to the Children's Museum of Houston and it was a BLAST!!! There was more than enough for the kids to see and do! We could have spent a week there! (These pics were taken with my phone so not the best quality)
Grandpa helping Kali build her rocket. Wish I was better at that kind of stuff. But so happy to have Grandpa along to help!
Lilly's favorite part was playing with the water...or IN the water! She got a little wet. Actually a lot wet.
Lilly was watching Grandpa mow the lawn.
WE LOVE YOU MEMA & GRANDPA!! Thanks for another fun filled week!!!!
Lots more pics to come from the second half of our Texas trip!!

Kari, we loved having you here for a week! It was so much fun for the kids to find the "old toys" under the stairs and play all day long!!
We enjoyed the Houston museum as much as you did! Hugs!
