August was BUSY!

What a fun and extremely busy August. The pictures are in reverse order for some reason, but we started out with their 4th birthday party at Noah's Ark. This was our 2nd year at this place and it was even better the 2nd time around. We all had a GREAT time with family and friends. Mark and Ella were very sad that the party actually had to end.

Next was their actual birthday at home. Ella loved her new Barbie house (about as much as mom does) and Mark is seriously hard to keep up with on his new bike. That kid is fast!

Finally was our 2nd annual trip to Galveston with the Trull family. Yet another fun trip for everyone. Our kids get along just as much as the adults! And this year, Valerie and Steve came down with their cousin CJ. More beach fun with CJ (who is a big fan of sand!) and even an afternoon at the train musuem. It doesn't get much better than that for Mark! If only it was 20 degrees cooler, we would have stayed longer. I don't recommend it at 4:00 in the afternoon in August!
