It was good to have my family here. We hadn't seen my dad and my brother in over a year and I hadn't met my nephew yet. So even though we had a full house, we had a lot of fun.

Apparently Zion's car seat seemed like a good place to sit

I don't think these two could look any different

Elise and Grandpa. I didn't realize how much she looks like my dad until he was holding her this weekend. I suppose this makes sense, though, since I look a lot like my dad.

Since my family was here, we decided to take the opportunity to dedicate Elise. We dedicated Matthew our last Sunday in California so we wanted to do it when we had some family here.

Then we went to lunch at Pappa's BBQ. My brother decided to tease poor Zion by dangling a rib in front of him.

The Stewarts and the Whittakers came over on Sunday for dinner and the kids had fun playing. Matthew and Elijah got a hold of some tissue paper and chased each other around the house for a good 15 minutes. Keep in mind that this is about 30 minutes past Matthew's bed time.

On Matthew's birthday we took him out to breakfast and then went down to Kemah. We had hoped to let him run around in the fountain, but once again, the fountain wasn't on (go figure, huh, Erin?). They had a tent set up over it for Wine Fest. However, the new playground was open and he had a good time on the slide.

Most of the family ended up in jail

It was a bit warm so we stepped into Starbucks to cool off

My parents gave Matthew the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Bounce and Spin Pony for his birthday. He loves it. Here he is testing it out.

One last birthday Happy Meal before going back to normal life and normal diet. Once again, the unhinged jaw.
