Take Me Out to the Ball Game

In case you haven't noticed, baseball is a big part of the Hughes family life...  So, for Father's Day, the kids told daddy they wanted to have a family outing to a baseball game.  They suggested the Astros, but daddy requested we go to a minor league game which he assured them would be much more fun for everyone!  

So, a few weeks later, we hauled everyone down to Sugarland to see the Sugarland Skeeters play!

 Daddy wanted to sit in the outfield so the kids could play at the splash pad and on the huge playground!  The kids didn't really care much about the game, but they did have a lot of fun! 

 And daddy was happy because he got to watch the game!

We even got to watch a fireworks show at the end!  

Father's Day

All together for Father's Day!  Ahhh..

We all enjoyed being together for Father's day.  We celebrated at mama and daddy's house.  Papa  came over from "the old folks home" and Aunt Jean came all the way from Tennessee to celebrate!

 Mama made a delicious meal, as usual!  I love having a mother that gets so much joy cooking and decorating for her family!  It truly is one of her greatest joys!  

 We had to get Bailey in one of the pictures, too!  He is mama's "baby dog" and is spoiled like crazy!

 All the dad's received gifts, of course.  Another post will follow with pictures from Ray C.'s father's day present - a trip to a local Independent League baseball game with the family!

 My dad is not a silly person and may not be very happy about me posting this picture, but it is too cute to not include!  

 We love our daddy!

Father's Day

Our Father's Day started EARLY!! The kids wanted to make breakfast for daddy which meant we had to get up at 5:30 to make it so he could have it before leaving for church! We had yummy biscuits, eggs, and fruit! We also got to give him his gifts this morning! Normally, we have to wait until later in the day because the kids don't usually see him on Sunday mornings!
After church, we ate lunch out (because I locked my keys in my car and had to wait near the theatre until Ray C. came back past from the other campus!) Anyway...after that, we were tired. So we took a nap and headed for the pool!
The kids are all swimming so well this summer. They are all jumping off the diving board into the 12 ft. pool. They will taking swimming lessons again in a few weeks to improve their skills. I just want to be sure they know exactly what they are doing!

After an hour and a half at the pool, we headed back home to get ready to go out for our anniversary...more in the next post!!
