Soakened.

Joshy clutches the TD remote and watches the rain.

Look out Joshy!

Man Down!

Aaron sent me these a while back and I thought I would share. Never a dull moment with these guys. Laura is probably glad the rain has stopped and they can go outside!

High School Reunion!

3/4 of the EJQ.

My handsome date.

I went to my 10 year high school reunion a few weekends ago. I can't believe it has been 10 years already! I was kind of nervous about going, but I ended up having a really fun time. I saw tons of people I haven't talked to since high school basically and I'm really glad I went. Alex went with me and was a superb date. He hung out with the other non-graduates and did his dately reunion duty brilliantly. I think he even enjoyed himself which was definitely above and beyond the call of duty! In general, I highly recommend going to reunions if you can make it, good times.

Mountain Biking

Biker chick.

Geared up and ready to go.

Trying out the new wheels.

Alex and I went mountain biking the other day to try out the new bikes. It was blazing hot and a little buggy, but we were not deterred. We went riding out by lake Hefner, but alas, the trails were incredibly steep, narrow and root filled. A little too advanced for the beginner I am. They weren't kidding when they say it is not for beginners! But we had fun anyway riding around the dirt path and through some easier trees. Maybe one day I can handle the Hefner action.

San Antonio Trip

Shamu show!

Baloogy!

Picnic time. Tasty.

"Carson! Don't throw your gum in the flowers!"
This was moments before his father threw his gum in the flowers.

Butterfly wings!

Joshy running through the tulips.

I'm pretty sure Carson didn't know what this meant, but we told him to do it anyway.

Aaron and the boys.

This was one of several different tree houses in the gardens. The boys really enjoyed the misters!

Grandma Jana and Carson.

Joshy chowing down in his ride.

I went to the Dallas Arboretum this past week to enjoy an event called Dallas Blooms. There are millions of flowers in bloom and they smell wonderful! The tulip beds are amazing. It must take a veritable army of gardeners to keep this place up.
Since I made a return trip to the arboretum the following week with my brother, mom and nephews in tow, I decided to add some more pictures to this post that are considerably better quality than the ones I previously had on here. The nephews enjoyed the time there as you can see and we had a wonderful afternoon!
