I'm BAAAAACK!!!

Ok, so my posting has been a long time comming...all I can say is yes, it has been that busy here in the Quick Household. Where should I begin...when we last spoke, it was Mother's day. Kendall graduated from Pre-K is now a full fledged Kindergartener. There were lots of tears, but thankfully I pulled it together long enough to take a few pics. Later that week, we joined our friends for our annual Gruene trip and it was totally overshadowed by a terrible sinus infection. So while everybody had fun on the lake skiing, I was back at the condo sleeping. The trip was fun and defintely without a dull moment!! Fast forward a few days and it's my brother's graduation. Once again, I really had to fight the tears. Mom and Dad threw David a great party and they couldn't have been prouder.Baby Caroline graced us with her presence, so a quick trip to El Campo was in order. SHe's so pretty and Jeff and Nashay will definitely have their hands full with these two princesses in the future. Phew!! THere's more... SO the next weekend was Nola's shower and we really had a blast throwing it. We stayed up till the wee hours chopping, laughing, slicing, and I think the food really benefitted from it. It was lovely to see all of the goodies Nola got and the wonderful faces who gathered to shower Nola and Isabella with warm wishes and love. The next day was Justin's suprise birthday cruise around LAke Conroe. It was fun to hang out, but I was definitely ready to get home and do nothing!!! Intermixed with all these events, was the prospect of a buisness(more on that later) a drunk driving accident (we went to render aid), a racing accident(a few cars in front of me) a torn ACL(david) and a kid who decided to cut her hair. It literally looked like a mullet and Kendall was really mad at me for wanting to even out her hair. And all in a matter of the two weeks of summer we have had so far. Man, what could the rest of the summer possibly have in store for us???

What a Weekend!!

Whew!! What a weekend. It seems that instead of the school year slowing down and anxiously awaiting summer, we find the month of May is so stinking busy! We enjoyed a little bit of "roughing it" with the Doucettes on Friday night as they invited us to their land to shoot skeet and fireworks. THe girls had never heard of skeet much less seen their father shoot a gun. They just kept staring. They got to run in the woods, ride in the back of trucks and enjoyed a great display of fireworks. If you know G he doesnt do ANYTHING small

Saturday we attended the Mother Daughter Brunch with Bunga. It was a really great time where girls 7 and older and their mothers can enjoy a time to dress up and brunch together. Bunga hosts a table every year, and the hostesses always go all out. She used Nannie's wedding china and had a fantastic spread waiting for us.




A special shout out to the H family for indulging us for dinner. That Mom made a fabulous cake that had us all raving. I think Kendall found a friend and has not stopped talking about him!!

Mother's day found the Quick girls in Houston and I really think this has been one of my most favorite Mother's days. I spent it working alongside my family, laughing, sweating,singing, giving my Mom exactly what she wanted for a present and has been waiting for for way too long.

And Kendall Makes Three...

Kendall's school held a family fitness day. The day started off with a mile run/walk and went on to different activity stations. Kendall ran the whole time!! Well maybe we can be the family that runs together!! It was really cute to see all the kids so tickled to play alongside their parents. I honestly don't know who had the better workout, us or the kids??!!! My words just don't do the day justice. Check out the pics to see how much fun it was.

I did it!!

Ok so the deal was I asked David to run with me in the 5K, but he wanted to see me cross the finish line, so I made him promise to do a guest post. Little did I know that he would write some crazy things. First of all, I did not smoke some of my friends, rather they smoked me and secondly, I will not be going out for the IronMan in Hawaii.
This was a huge feat in itself and I'm still in shock I actually did it. Thankfully there were no tears at the finish line. What a suprise to find that my family had come up from Houston to meet me at the end. A huge thank you to my running angel Kendall who if she could, would have ran the whole way with me. She was so sad she had to stay behind. I think I have a running partner in the making!! To all of the people who cheered and encouraged me to keep at it, I thank you. My friends are already talking about doing another one. As for me, we'll just have to wait and see....
