Galveston

Last weekend I went to Galveston with 2 of my girlfriends. It was a weekend without cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking, washing clothes. No husbands and no babies! Between the 3 of us we have a 13 month old, 18 month old and 2 year old. We definetly deserved this mini vacation away from reality. We went to Schlitterbahn on Friday, we started out riding a pretty scary ride and after that just stuck to the tube rides and the lazy river. We went to dinner at the Aquarium in Kemah that night and walked/shopped along the Boardwalk. Saturday after breakfast we did a little souvenir shopping and layed out by the pool. Saturday night we ate at Guidos. Famous restaraunt, definetly eat there if you go to Galveston. Make sure you make reservations, if Jaime hadn't, the wait would have been an hour and a half (thanks Jamie!). Sunday on the way home we stopped at the outlet mall in Cypress. Love those outlet malls. I had so much fun hanging out with these girls. Thanks Mandy and Jaime, can't wait to do it again!

Dinner at the Aquarium. Really neat restaraunt with great food!

Best shot I could get of dolphins swimming right by the shore.

Every where you look there's still evidence of Hurrice Ike. The only thing left of my favorite souvenir shop were the piers it used to stand on. But they ARE rebuilding!

Dinner at the Famous Guidos.

More Summer Fun...

We went to the water park with Amy, Lindsey, and Miles. Wyatt had a blast and momma got some sun. We had so much fun, we went 2 days in a row! Thanks for the pictures Amy!




Couple days later we went over to our friends house to meet their new daughter "Lola Roxanne". And she is adorable! We got to see how Wyatt would do around a baby and he was amazing. As soon as we got there Lola was awake so I wanted to take pictures of Wyatt and Lola togther. Wyatt took my breath away. As soon as we sat him next to her he grabbed her hand and hugged and kissed her. I think we've got a ladies man on our hands....









Tonight when we got back from dinner we let Wyatt play outside and he put on a show! We turned the water on and he went to town. He did everything from dancing, to trying to drink the water, to chasing the water sprinkler. We haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Thanks Wyatt!

Let Freedom Ring...

We had a great July 4th weekend. It got off to a rough start with Wyatt being sick but he quickly recovered just in time to go to the lake. My brother and sister came with us. Which I loved because I got some great QT time in with them. My sister is at Texas Tech (Guns up, down, whatever (Gig-Em!)and is very busy with working and going to school year round. So glad she got to come and stay for a week! I loved it to because she was a built in babysitter! Thanks Lindsay - come back soon! We were also excited that my brother John got to come with us. He is about to make a major life change of going into the army, so I love spending as much time with him as possible. Way to go John, you have really turned things around and we are very proud of you! Can't wait to see what the future holds for you! We also got to see Ms. Lauren from the Sloan School at the lake. Her parents also have a house in Bonham. What a small world. We can't wait to spend more time with her and her family at the lake!

Here are pics from our great weekend...

Wyatt loves being at the lake!

My sister caught a turtle, which is evidently hard to do. Must be a red raider thing!

What lake trip would be complete without Wyatt digging in the ice chests. He loves to eat the ice.

Eatin some ice. Love this picture. He looks like such a little boy.

My brother tubing! So fun!


I know this is random. We bought these foam swords at Walmart and had a blast! It's quite the workout!

Daddy and Wyatt watching the silly sword show. Mommy tickling Wyatt with the sword.


My brother John the comedian! Always making us laugh!

Wyatt's first time in the lake. He's not really digging the life jacket.


"Uh Mom...Can you do something about this?" Thanks Lindsay for getting in the water with Wyatt. I'll tube and kneeboard but, just stand there in the lake...no thanks!

He likes it, he likes it!

Our fireworks show...

The neighbors fireworks. No kidding they were right down the street.

They put on a better show than the City of Bonham!

Wyatt passed out in the truck on the way home.

What a great July 4th weekend! Love the summertime!

Wyatt's Birthday Party

Wyatt's birthday party was sooo much fun! We are so blessed to have so many people in our lives that love him so much! He's having fun playing with all the new toys!

I'm walking!

Wyatt's big 1 year birthday party was yesterday and it was a blast. Lots of people and lots of fun! I'll post a slideshow later of the pics, but in the meantime here's a video of our little walker! Sorry it's a little shaky, I kept sliding back to see how far he would walk!

Happy Birthday Wyatt!

Today is such a special day...it's Wyatt's 1st birthday!
It's amazing to us how fast this year has gone. Is it really possible that 1 year ago today we held a tiny miracle in our arms. And today that tiny miracle is not so tiny and wiggles to get out of our arms. Oh Wyatt, we love you more than anything. It's been so amazing to watch you grow and turn into quite the little boy! Your are so full of personality! You can't even use your words to tell us how you feel but you show us in so many other ways. You are so smart, loving, playful, silly, just a little stubborn (haha) but most of all you are our everything. We love you to infinity and beyond!

On our way home from the hospital.

What a big boy you are!

A Day at the Zoo

We took Wyatt to the FTW Zoo for the first time on Monday. It was our little pre-birthday celebration idea. We were supposed to be there first thing in the morning, but David got a business call and the client was driving up from San Angelo just to meet with him. So we waited until 1:30 pm to go to the zoo. That's right 1:30pm when the temp was 103. It's been awhile since I've been to the zoo and was thinking there are plenty of indoor exhibits (for the record - there are NOT enough indoor exhibits at the zoo)! It was way toooo hot, but it was still fun. One of my best friends Amy came with her kiddos Lindsey and Miles. Thanks for being such good troopers guys - next field trip should be to the Dallas Aquarium! We got to see lots of animals. Wyatt's favorite were the monkeys and penguins! Here are a few pictures from our hot/fun day...

He loved watching the crazy monkeys!

I love this picture. It's a total accident but turned out great.

Wyatt zonked out on the way home.
