Houston 2011

Last week we took our (almost) yearly trip to Houston to visit the Beaver's. We took our first "family" trip in 2007 and have tried to get back every year since. We have missed a year here or there because of babies being born and such, but I love that Cassidee and Reagan just pick up right where they left off!





This is March 2007. Cassidee was a week away from turning 1 and Reagan was 9 month old.



Neither could walk. Neither could talk. Ahh, the good ole days---just kidding! :)






Same trip


In January 2008 Cassidee and I took a weekend trip to Houston. Cutie girls brushing teeth!
R- 18 months
C - 22 months




I'm guessing we missed 2009..... :(

June 2010, these two 4 year olds had a blast playing together for a whole week!



Still June 2010....the big girls got to go to art camp for three days that week

(in matching/coordinating outfits, of course!)




July 2011....picking up where they last left off!

The played dress up the whole time....and not in costumes, just in Reagan's regular dresses!!




Costume change!



We matched as many outfits as we could last week....hair styles too!




We were very lucky to get to go up to NASA with David and get a "back stage tour" of all the things he does while working there!

Here are the kiddos in front of the old (?) Mission Control room.





Cute daddy/daughter pic!


We got to see moon rocks.

I, unfortunately, don't know much about what happened during this part of the "tour." My kids were acting crazy due to being tired and hungry, and then Cassidee ended up falling and scraping her arm on some metal. It was a ridiculous few minutes, but very cool to see moon rocks!






This looks cute, but really they were just complaining their feet hurt and they were hungry!



David got to take us in the simulator that astronauts train in.....atleast I think that's right. I obviously need to pay a little better attention.







This was a dream-come-true for people who like to push buttons, like me!




Hope she remembered to flush! :)




C and R with the "space man" (Cassidee name for astronaut)



I think the coolest part was going to the NBL where astronauts train in the big swimming pool!





It was huge and very, very blue!










There were people in the water doing something when we were there, too.




Kiddos in front of the pool



He looks like such a little man here!




After a fun day at NASA we decided to go to Kemah for dinner since it was our last night in Houston. I hate that this picture is blurry, but I thought it was cute how the big girls colored together while waiting on our food!



Oh, and lets jump back to 2010 again. This is when Cason and Brooklyn's love affair began!

I love that she is smiling at him!


He has always loved her!





And 2011 Cason / Brooklyn picture.

Same love in their pretty blue eyes!




Cass and Brook also have a big love for one another!




And I'll end that crazy week with this crazy picture!





Thank you again, David and Jodi, for letting us crash your house for the week.....and I literally mean "crash!" We had a blast!
