Celebrating Our Freedom!

Happy July 4th from our family to yours!

Owen's first July 4th.

The boys got matching tatoos.

The kids had lots of fun playing together while we waited for the fireworks to start. Owen & Kyle especially liked the pink jeep ;)

Us moms needed tatoos too. Aren't we cool?

One regular picture of the moms.

All the kids together.

After line dancing in the driveway, we headed out to the back pasture to watch the fireworks. Fun times were had by all! Thanks to the McGinns for having us over.

The Whole Rouse Family...well almost!

In my last post I accidentally deleted this picture and since it is such a pain to try to get pictures in a particular place I am making a whole different post for it.

This is ALMOST everyone in our family. When this whole bunch is together you can bet there will be some good times had!

Rouse Family Vacation

We just got home from a vacation on the Llano River in Mason, TX with the Rouse side of our family. It was a 4 hour drive from Pearland and since Luke rode with EE & Nonah & Owen stayed home with Grammy and Papaw, we had some time with Brady all by himself. It was so much fun!

Along the road we passed a little town called Brady, TX. How cool is that?

The roads were covered in hills and lots and lots of cactus. Beautiful scenery the whole way.

I love this sweet little boy!

Then we finally reached our destination... Honey Creek Ranch.

The trip was a blast... lots of fishing.

and rides in the canoe

and beauty...

and fun time with our cousin Cash...

and swimming in the river!

and time in The Great Outdoors!

A Little Boy's Paradise!

Even paradise for the big boys ;)

Caleb and Noah grilled burgers that were really good!

Luke & his cousin Cody.

Fun times floating the river :)

Lots of awesome places to take pictures.

Look at Caleb jump off that cliff! Luke jumped off the same cliff, but I didn't get a picture :(

What a wonderful weekend!

A Visit From EE, Nonah, & Cash!

The past week has been nonstop, action packed, family fun! EE, Nonah, & Cash came in town. Before they came, we planned out fun activities for each day they were here and boy did we have a blast. We celebrated Caleb & Noah's birthdays, went to the beach, went sky diving, shopping, girls night, went swimming, and finished off the week with an awesome family vacation with our whole extended family (post to follow).


Here are a few random pictures from our week...

Can't wait to see these two cuties grow up to be best cousins ;)

Girls night

It was such a fun week and we were sad to see it come to an end. In two weeks we will be heading to Oklahoma to see them for Cash's 1st birthday party and we can't wait!
