Swimming Time!

For Memorial day we all went swimming in the complex here. Tatum loves the water. She always gets a bit nervous going in but than loves it towards the end. She is already 7 months old. I cant believe it! She is so much fun and makes some of the greatest faces ever. She loves going down for naps, sticking everything in her mouth, watching baby signing time, being around other kids or babies, eating , giving kisses, crawling and baths. The only thing i need to work on is her liking car rides.. yep she still cries anytime we go somewhere in less someone is sitting in the back entertaining her.

Were Staying!

Here is some pic of the BBQ

These are all of the wife's .. We have so much fun together!

Yep we decided to buy matching shirts.. I think there cute!

Well we decided to stay in Houston and finish out the summer. They moved everyone up to the Woodlands into a safer, nicer area! So hopefully this place will be a lot better. This week the boys made there incentive and the owners decided to do a BBQ and than go see the new movie Indiana Jones, but since we had Tatum(and are the only ones out here with a kid) we had to call it a night after the BBQ. Tatum is doing good out here. She is literally getting into everything. Her 2 bottom teeth are finally in. Now the next thing is teaching her to walk! Other than that nothing too exciting has been happening.. We plan on going to Galveston this coming up week so i ll post pic when we do.

p.s. Before i came up here everyone told me that hurricane season does not start till Aug..(well i got lied to i guess) Cuz i just found out that its starts tomorrow and in relief society today the WHOLE lesson was on getting a 72 hour kit for hurricane season.. I was dying the whole time.. Texas doesn't get any better than this! Texas is one dangerous state

Don't Mess With Texas

Well since last night i used to love Houston.. but than late last night around 11:30pm me and Joe were getting ready to go to bed. Joe realized that he left his phone in our car so decided to run out and grab it real quick. 5 seconds later i heard some yelling out there. I peaked my head out the door and saw 3 guys surrounding Joe and than jumped him. I heard them yelling at Joe to get on the ground.. I started freaking out and crying and having all different types of emotions in me..I ran back inside lock the door and grab my phone to try and call the cops. a couple min later a hear bangs on our door..looked out the peep hole and it was Joe.. He told me they jumped him at gun point.. All they took was the keys to our car. Thank goodness nothing else happen.. We really were watched over and protected.. as cheesy as it sounds but seriously actually going through something like that i really thought Joe was done for..We have gotten flyers on our door before about robbery's here and our cousin s had also heard gun shot here before to, but truthfully i thought that it would never happen to us.
we haven't decided on what were doing yet.. I know there is a lot of money you can make out here but having my family be in danger is just not worth it. Were suppose to have a meeting with the owners today so will see how that goes and will decided from there

Meyer Park

I know really CHEESY but we had a lot of fun doing it!

Joe's fav trick to do with Tatum. ( I hate when he does this i always get so scared but tatum always laughs)

Here you go Scott and Julie..(beat that)

Tatum is so big. She is 6 1/2 months now! She is crawling all over the place. She is also pulling herself up onto furniture and standing. Tatum is getting her 1st bottom tooth in as well. She has just started eating baby foods which she absolutely loves. She is so much fun.

I love this picture because somehow craig only has one shoe on... I think he had a Charley Horse before the picture and somehow lost his shoe! (haha)

Home Sweet Home(for now)

Well we made it safe to Texas... It took about 17 hours to get here maybe even more cause we had to stop a lot and change Tatum's diapers and feed her. So far Texas is great. I love are apts were in. There are Hugh trees everywhere around our apts. Its so pretty. Joe started selling pest control today. So hopefully everything will go good with that. It's so humid down here though.. Everything is so sticky and muggy in the air here. So far though i really like. Were only here for 3 months so me and Tatum need to explore Houston as much as we can. Will keep you updated on what were doin.... but we miss everyone and if anyone wants to come visit.. you'll have a free place to stay!
