hot. Hot. HOT. Houston.

This past week I went to Houston and it was sweltering HOT!! I have lived in the south and on the east coast where there are hot and humid summers but Texas was just miserable, and it was only the first week of June! I should never move there because I would just be cranky and bothered the whole time. Besides the heat, it was a great few days with my brother's family.

Some of the highlights of the trip:
- Eating lunch with my nephew at his elementary school for his last day of 2nd grade
- shopping, especially at Lush (love that store and really wish Utah had one)
- Benjamin's swim practices and swim meet
- Houston Temple
- Benjamin's baptism
- playing dress up with cute Kylie


My least favorite moments would be the chinese buffet (gag me) and being forced to watch The Tourist...twice!

The main reason we went down to Texas was to be there for my nephew Benjamin's baptism. I was so proud to see him make the decision to be baptized and officially join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I must admit that it was weird to see him get baptized in yellow-greenish water......... the church leaders blamed it on minerals......... still weird and kind of gross looking.



Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Now that looks like a perfect dive to me :)

 After sitting in the heat for four hours none of us were feeling that great, especially not Kylie.

 Doesn't my makeup just look BEAUTIFUL?
