Trouble with Ya Ya...

A few weeks ago Weston's mom & Mark came for a short visit. Mark had some work meetings in Houston so it was part business, part pleasure. Of course, that usually means there will be many enormous hot dogs of various flavors, IBC Root beer, Blue Bell, Ben & Jerry's, donuts, razzleberry pie, chips, onion dip, BBQ'd blackened pork loin and daily trips to the gas station for a nice cold frosty beverage. You get the idea. I think they were trying to send Weston into full cardiac arrest! Weston declared responsibility upon Mark.... "He's a binge eater!" lol

He didn't get to watch Nacho Libre this time but it's football season and Mark was lucky enough to experience a FULL game day at our house. Something he does not get at home. ;) We sure are lovin our Wolverines & Utes this season!!! Woot!

I picked Jan up at the airport just before Warren got out of school. We went inside and surprised him in the hallway. He was very excited that she came to see his school and we also ate lunch with him another day. 

 This is where the fun stops. 
See that gi-normous bruise & goose egg between Ben's eyes? Yea..... Ya Ya did that. We almost had to call CPS on her.... ;)

These pictures do not do it justice (they were taken a few days after the incident). It was HUGE! Jan was lying down on our bedroom floor talking to Weston. Not realizing that Ben likes to play rough with dad in the same space, (usually giving him body slams and such) he hurled himself toward her and she was looking the other way and therefore did not catch him. He smacked his head hard on the edge of the window ledge. It swelled up so fast! His forehead to the tip of his nose were bridged by the swelling. Poor guy.


 So... we live in Kingwood and as you enter the city you see the city motto...
We laughed and laughed as we were driving down Kingwood drive and Jan asked
"so....what's the whole livable forest thing about?"

Kingwood Drive. ;) 
Never gonna live that one down Jan. Thanks for letting us tease you and being a good sport about it. :D 

Thanks for coming to spend time with us Mark & Jan. 
We enjoyed having you. :)

Oh Benjamin! It's always so freaky when things swell up that fast!

Okay Emily - so here it is. And because I have been so slow in finding the information....it is too late. SORRY!!

Sept - Downtown bat watching is often outstanding, as long as rain and cold fronts stay away.

Oct - The bats usually start migrating southward. Fall migrations, triggered by strong cold fronts, can vary by several weeks from year to year.

Looks like it starts to get good again around May and that July, Aug, and early Sept are the best.
