Our Day

Today we enjoyed a day on Lake Conroe. Carol and Tim Simoneaux have a great waterfront retirement home. They invited the 'Thomas Clan" today for a fun outdoor celebration. I enjoyed watching the kids play in the water. Trent was a water ski hero. Redonia taught my two year old neice, Kyleigh how to tube. I'm not sure Grammy thought it was a good idea! lol Micah and Trent had fun being goofy and showing off on the knee board and jet skis. Lauren and Redonia played on the jet skis and tubes most of the day. The younger set Timo, Gentry, Madeline, and Abbey rode anything that would slow down long enough. The girls had fun being thrown in the lake by their cousin, Trent.

Chelsea and I had fun grilling. We had lots of yummy food. We had sausage/pineapple kabobs, sausage on a stick, hot dogs, and even brisket. (Scott smoked the brisket!) Of course we had cakes, cookies, fruit, and 'milkshakes'. The milkshakes were supposed to be homemade ice cream. They were good regardless!

During all the water sports Courtney set up a high chair for Kyleigh at the water's edge. While I gave Kyleigh a perm she ejoyed playing with play dough and singing with her cousins. Her hair turned out so cute! I'll have to post a picture later.

Just before sunset Bro. Simoneaux took a big group out on his pontoon boat. Kent sat at the front of the boat and looked like the tourist guide! lol Micah and Courtney enjoyed the jet skis while the little kids were boating.

After hours of being in the water and sun, Mom decided a family picture was in order. Everyone of her children, grandchildren , and in-laws were present. What an accomplishment! She has two married grandchildren, three live in Africa, and another obstacle or two. Some of the little ones were wet with towels wrapped around them, Redonia and Lauren's hair was balled up on top of their heads and wet, Trent and Micah were drenched, and the rest of us hummmmm....Redonia is a graphics designer. Mom laughed and said Redonia could fix us all up! I'm not sure there is much to work with. At least Mom will have the photo as a remembrance of a great day together.

Tonight I thank God that we were able to spend the day 'complete'. We were almost short one. God has surely been faithful! I hope your day was spent enjoying family.

Please keep Landon in your prayers. He did have a blood transfusion today. It appears the bleeding has stopped. It is still not certain if he will need a third surgery. Bro. Guidroz will arrive in Houston early in the morning. Please keep the entire Guidroz family in your prayers.
