Family

I so love that my kids are getting to spend some time getting to know their cousins this week! We have a total of thirteen kids-- Emily, the oldest at thirteen, Kade and Colter at eleven, Anna, ten, Jolie and Kamy, nine, Megan, eight, Abigail, Bowen, Jack and Claire at five, Lily, three, and Owen, one on Saturday. They are just having a great time being together, on the beach, at the pool, in the house. This afternoon we've got a few napping, a few playing wahoo, and a few with the dads out on waverunners. All good. Back to the pool with the little ones when naps are done (claire is learning to swim!), then hoping to do a beach photo shoot this evening...

Also, prayers of thanksgiving for all going well in my dad's shoulder surgery this morning. Looking forward to seeing him for Father's Day.

Memorial Day Weekend

We made a short trip back to Louisiana this weekend to attend Scott's mawmaw's funeral. Mawmaw Turner was a true cajun woman, full of life, spunk, and laughter. Our time with Scott's family was full of funny stories, and good visiting. The great-grandkids all enjoyed spending time together.

We came back to Texas Sunday night, and spent Memorial Day hanging at the Noack's pool with our lovely Pearland friends. There were probably 8 or so families, lots of kids, lots of fun and good food....

Oh, and ice cream.

And some really cute boys.

This was really Owen's first time in the pool, and he had a great time!

The Pruyn family was well represented in the Minute to Win It competition, at least by Anna and Scott. Not so much by me and Emily, but it was fun.

Yes, he actually got those five cans to float on a plate in a bucket of water. That LSU engineering degree is really paying off.

Crazy kids and Twizzlers. Casey, Claire P, Megan, Willow, Claire H, and Cole.

One week until we load up and head to the beach with the WHOLE PRUYN CLAN! I cannot wait!
