This trip is going backwards - I started in San Marcos with my 1960 basketball team (plus a few other guys and wives), then to Round Rock to see Lindy et al, off to Allen (Dallas) for Holly's family, then down to Spring (Houston) for Kevin and family. In between all that, I was able to see Janis (San Marcos), Gene Steel (Celanese connection), as well as Dale and Tommie Merriman (Hou), before coming home.
We met the kids for lunch at the cafeteria. It was the last day before spring break and it was wild in there. Western Day, as you can tell.
Kevin and the birthday girl - Kayla turned 10 on Friday and I was fortunate to be there for her birthday. What a pretty girl and the guy ain't bad looking either!
Birthday tradition at the Woodlands Henson household is a pre-school breakfast. Chocolate chip pancake and bacon made a terrific early morning celebration for Kayla. Notice the candles on the pancakes. Kerry is so creative!!
The birthday girl with loving little bro. Looked like Christmas to me.
We did a crock pot BBQ for the Thursday night celebration dinner. Is that a great looking family, or what?
Kayla is into horses (English style) and we went to this Tomball saddlery to pick up a few birthday odds and ends. Must have been 100 saddles in there, both Western and English.
A pear tart recipe Holly gave me. Just gotta' have desserts. Did this one for Holly's family, too.
Olivia's is getting long. A new look for her. I still prefer the short look, but it's not my hair, is it Liv? Cute as ever, doncha' know?
As I did in Spring, the Allen cafeteria beckoned. I went to lunch with all my girls and got to see their school and a book fair, too.
Ah, Jordan's birthday dinner (10 also). Olivia is asleep to my right. Too much fun, I guess. The servers brought a cupcake with candle and sang. I think Jordan was blushing, weren't you J?
J with shadow and new clothes I helped buy. The shawl (?) was a hit and she look maaaavelous in it and the long dress. What I'm not showing are the bite marks Shadow put on my hands and wrist. Still have 'em 2 weeks later.
Like I said, going backwards. After the Texas State game, I spent Saturday night and Sunday morn with the Kincaids in Round Rock. Sunday morning we went to a wonderful new park just a few blocks from their home. Huge park with all kinds of kiddie things to do. Riley is busy motoring on down the road a piece, as they say in Texas.
You think this cute liitle addition to the family doesn't get lots of attention?
Chris and Connor with the little city in the background. There are about 12 different "stores," each outfitted to look like the real thing. Connor's too young to enjoy this now, but he'll be a terror on the equipment in a couple of years.
More stuff for Riley to crawl through and over. I even went through and down some of it. Still sore --
Now, isn't this how a 2 yr old's play room should look? Lots of stuff and Riley knows every one by name. Granted, some of the names are wierd, but after all, she's only two (and she's Lindy's daughter!).
