Summer is here

Summer started with a roar. Tess’s daycare send pictures when they are doing fun activities and they were dressing up like the circus one Friday. She decided to be a Tiger and they painted her face. She usually doesn’t like anything on her face so I was surprised to still see the paint on when I picked her up. When we got home she immediately said get this paint off my face. It was cute while it lasted.

The annual Guns & Hoses game this year was a bust. The game was on Saturday night and the game got cancelled and rescheduled for Sunday. Not a lot of people showed up for the rescheduled game on Sunday. The rain held out for the Dynamo game but it started raining as Clayton starts playing. Several lightning strikes ended the game and they have yet to reschedule it. Clayton did an interview at the beginning of the game which he was not really prepared for. We had celebrated Mother’s Day before the game so my parents brought Tess to the game right as the Dynamo game was ending and she was excited to see Bubba. She misses him since he has moved. He carried her on his shoulders to our new location for the Guns & Hoses games. And we were prepared for a good game. The weather had other plans.

Matt and Tess had fun dancing to our new location. Tess likes music and likes to dance but she doesn’t like loud music. She put her hands over ears because the drums were too loud for her.

Our normal summer time activity is the Astros Games. We have enjoyed quite a few Astros games and Tess is starting to learn the positions and the rules. My mom has started teaching her the game. She has the brand recognition down, anytime she sees the Astros logo she instantly says it’s the Astros, I go see them.

We have also tried to spend some time outside while the weather was still nice, it didn’t get too out till later in the year this summer. One of our neighbors has this toy motor bike thing and Tess enjoyed riding it. She was a little apprehensive at first but when she got the hang of it she took off. She was not so good at turning though.

Clayton and I knew that we wanted to get Tess a Bike for her birthday but we didn’t know what size helmet she needed. One day while we were out shopping we decided to try on some helmets. They have some interesting helmets for kids these days. We decided on a Minnie and Daisy helmet for Tess.

Lexi has spent her summer in the cone of shame, she scratched her eye again. We later found out that there were some little hairs inside her eyelid that were wreaking havoc. She spent a good amount of time in the cone until we went to a specialist and she had surgery.
