Ok so I am far behind again but I want to include our really fun trip home! and some (not all) of the pictures that we took. It was a quick trip home again but we filled it full of fun as usual:)

Trista Jade Pelfrey graduation from Miss Gloria's Daycare!!

Pelfrey Family
Lovely Livia

So Mom had a whole party planned! the kids swam and then got to make pudding art on paper that was hung up on the fence. Bex loved this!

Even Michael got caught with pudding in the face:)

Livy and Daddy watched from the back

Then they moved on to the whipped cream fight! Here is the graduate having a great time!:)

Here is Mom serving up the kids. Shelby smiling in behind. and Yes thats our wonderful Aunt Valerie to the right all the way from Ohio!!! We were so excited to see her and Stefini again!

Trista got Bekah

And she was not excited:( she said it made her sick...but she was fine:)

One night Michael had us over for some good Southeast Texas cooking. We had burgers, brauts, and yummy boudin!:) here are the kids playing wii.

Michael shared the drums and then showed us how its done!:)
