Mark and Lara's Home

Betsy’s son Mark and his wife Lara and daughters Bay Lee and Brooke own a FABULOUS home in Seabrook, Texas. Mark is in the home-building business---so they built their own home about a year ago. It’s the first time we have been down there to see it. BUT--it won’t be our last!!!!

We were all so excited when we got to the Texas Welcome Center. (It’s a long long drive from Tennessee.)

The front of their beautiful home

A closer look at the front door and dining room area

Looking toward the garage--from the street

One more view of the front of the house

I love the ‘openness’ in this floor plan. Their color scheme and tile floors are perfect. You can see their little dog, Annie!!

This large window looks out into the back yard --and swimming pool.

This is their living room --including a big screen TV of course!!!

Looking down into the living room from upstairs

George is standing in the hall next to the formal dining room.

Mark and Lara in their kitchen; Lara is an EXCELLENT cook, and sure does keep a clean kitchen!

George took this picture of Bay Lee, Brooke, Mark and me --from upstairs, as we talked and watched videos of the kids when they were little.

Bay Lee and Brooke played a computer game in Brooke’s room.

This is Bay Lee and Brooke’s ‘play room’ --between their bedrooms, on the 2nd floor.

They have a fabulous swimming pool --and hot tub.

Mark was brave enough to swim--and the rest of us SAT on the edge! ha

Brooke --at the pool

Brooke shows off the little turtle--which looks ‘real’ when bobbing around in the water.

Jeff, Mark and Brooke play ball in the pool

Then it’s time to go in the hot tub!!! Mark and Jeff enjoyed warming up --since it was cool outside.

George got some reading done in the sunshine.

Bay Lee plays ball with water balloons in the street out front.

Brooke takes a turn... It was fun to watch them get WET!!!!

Now Lara shows both girls how to really do it!!!! Fun Fun!!!!
