We've had a busy few weeks with a trip to the rodeo with my family, a trip to Austin to see Ben's family and celebrate Angela's baby shower, and a trip to Mexico (sans kids) to attend an amazingly fun wedding. I have a lot of great photos to upload and hope to get to that soon. I had a slight set back with nasty colds, a random stomach virus that left me and Mark standing in the waiting room at the doctor's office literally dripping in vomit that kept on coming, and of course, one case of pink eye just to keep it interesting. I'll get all the fun pictures from our trips up soon though..hopefully.

In the meantime... Mark has always loved messing with sunglasses and now that Spring is here I decided it was time he had a pair of his own. It is hilarious because I thought he would play with them but he really just likes to leave them on. Here are some pictures from this weekend playing around our house and from a trip to the bayou city art festival with my parents.

He was looking at me with those big blue eyes standing next to his car...change of plans.
