Visits

June became the month of visits for our family. First, Mark's parents came to Texas to watch Mark's nieces and nephews in Dallas while Rachelle and Brian went on a pioneer trek with the youth in their ward. Mark and I went up to Dallas that weekend to see his parents and help out with the kids. We spent a LOT of time in the pool. Here are a couple of pics:

After Brian and Rachelle returned from their trip, we took Mark's parents back to Houston with us for a couple of days. It was a short visit with them, but we packed it full of fun. Evelyn and I got lost in the baby clothes at Kohls. They were too adorable to resist! We also got to visit the Genghis Khan exhibit at the Museum of Natural Science, and then we ate at one of our favorite BBQ places: Goode Co. If you're ever in Houston, it's a must!

A few days after Mark's parents left, my parents came to town. We had a great time showing them around Houston. My dad served his mission in the Houston, Austin, and San Antonio areas 35 years ago, and he had never been back to Houston since. We started the visit off with a trip to San Antonio to see "Wicked," which was one of the best shows I've seen. The music is just so fun! We also hit up the Galleria Mall, Goode Co., NASA, the beach, and the temple. My dad even found one of his old apartments that he lived in as a missionary. Good times!

I must say that Mark was looking pretty durn handsome in that shirt!

My mom always teases me about how I never cry when our visits are over, but I sure cried this time! It was such an enjoyable trip. I'm so glad we could have both sets of parents visit us. Thanks for making the trip guys! We loved seeing you, and hope we get to see you again soon!
