Houston Chilling

I had this post done and ready to go last week. I was going to put it up on Wednesday but I was thrown off by all the racial aggravated issues that happened in the country. I decided it was best to hold off on posting because I felt it was only appropriate.

Let me say that my heart weeps for the families of the two African American men that lost their lives to absolute senseless killings and also for that of the five police officers in Dallas, and might I add, the people responsible for their deaths. A lot of days, my very active mind spins out of control with questions for God. Even though I understand the root cause being sin, I still wonder about certain things. And some of those days even though, I feel like I'm not all the way ready yet, my heart cries for Him to come back so we can just be done with all the hate, pain, anger, and evil in  and of this world.

I had a very chill 4th of July weekend. I literally did nothing. I stayed inside the house for three days straight besides a "brief" run to go get suya(spiced beef on skewers) and that was it. Heck yes, I was very content!

Hubby, I, and the kids headed out to Houston on Thursday evening. It's an 8 hours drive from Northwest Arkansas. We got in around midnight, said our hellos, I gave the kiddos a bath and we all went to bed. The kids were pretty pumped but their cousins were sleeping already and mummy and daddy were done for the night.

Friday was very laid back! The kids were excited to see each other when they got up. My sis and her hubs had a cookout planned for Saturday so all the prepping began.

Demi and cousin Uyi on Friday morning :)

Hubby's sis Renny leaves in Houston too! She moved from Atlanta a few months ago. Morayo was beyond excited to see her cousin Izi. She spent the night with her on Friday night. Demi didn't realize when Mo left but when all quieted down, he wanted his Rayo. I got him in the car at 12:30a.m and drove him to be re-united with her. Luckily, Renny leaves only 9 minutes away from my sis. How awesome is that?!

Renny texted me this photo of the kids having a blast at 1a.m!

Cookout Day!

Nom Nom!! I sorta kinda contributed to making nothing. I helped clean up though!

Big ups to Collette, Emmanuel, and Sonia! Y'all did that!

Dem wangs!

Fantastic Four!

The lovely hosts. Thanks for a superb time!

More than anything, it was really awesome to have all the cousins together at once. Can't wait until we get to do this again! Good Times!
