Our Anniversary

John and I celebrated our 6th anniversary this last weekend. We decided last minute to go to a bed & breakfast in Fredericksburg. We had a gift certificate that John had got from work so that helped pay for our room. Amanda & Coley always want an excuses to keep Ethan, so this was a perfect one.

John and I spent Saturday morning at Enchanted Rock. We climbed all the way up and over. Then we went through the cave. This is the 3rd time we have gone together, and it's always a blast. We had a picnic lunch and headed back into town before it got to hot.

We got up Sunday and headed to San Antonio. We got to have lunch at P.F. Chang's (my favorite) and see Transformers 2 in the IMAX theatre. We met Coley, Amanda and the girls to pick up Ethan. He loves being with them and really wasn't that excited to see us. We had such a great time together without worrying about nap time, sippy cups, and diapers. I recommend this for every married couple at least once a year!

Our Beach Vacation

We got to spend some time at the beach in Rockport, TX over the 4th of July week. We met my parents and Amanda, Coley, Paige, and Landri there. We rented these great cabana's at The Drifters Resort. This is us having a great picnic and we had just made smores! YUM!

We spent one day in Corpus Christi and visited the Texas State Aquarium. I got some great pictures of the Sea Turtle. John, Mom, Dad and Coley visited the USS Lexington that afternoon and really enjoyed seeing the carrier.

We spent most of our time at the beach. We would pack a picnic lunch and swim at the beach in Rockport. These pictures are at Port Aransas. We would go in the evening right at dusk and walk the beach. The kids loved picking up sea shells. This is were I was able to get some great pictures of Ethan. He loved the beach. He would wake up in the mornings and the first thing he would talk about was going to the beach.

I cherish all the time that I have with our family. We made plenty of memories and can't wait to take Ethan again.

Happy 4th of July

I had the opportunity to go and get a pedicure today. It something I had been looking forward to. I was so please with the results I had to show you my toes! Hope your holiday weekend is fun and relaxing.

Girl's Weekend

Mom, Jessica, Amanda and I all met up in Fredericksburg to celebrate our 29th birthday.  We stayed at a cozy bed & breakfast.  We had birthday cake and stayed up late watching movies on Friday.  I had planned on sleeping in but woke up at 6:45am and then forced myself to rest at least till 8am.  I am not sure why it is when you have the opportunity to sleep in your body won't let you.

We shopped almost all day on Saturday and got to each lunch at The Peach Tree, YUM! Sunday we got up, had a devotion and prayed together.  Our time was so precious together. It was so nice to have a little break.  

Update on Life!

Well we have been busy the last couple of weeks:

*Ethan & I went to help Amanda & Coley a couple of weeks ago.  Paige had ear surgery.  We had a great time just hanging out while Paige recovered.  We always love being with them and Ethan cries every time we leave.

*We have been busy at home this week.  Nothing special.  Ethan and I have spent alot of time outside.  He has this pink & purple tricycle that my friend gave me.  (He doesn't mind that it is a girls bike.) He rides it in the backyard and pretends it's a car.

Funny story....  Every time I go to the bathroom, I say " Mommy is a big girl, she is pee-peeing on the potty."  So he will go potty every so often and say " Yeah!  I'm a big girl."  I said "NO, you are a big BOY. "  he argues again that he is a BIG GIRL.  This could go on for hours.  So, I finally give up and just let him say he is a big girl.  I hope one day that will change!!!!

So our life is not very exciting right now!  I am going on a girls weekend this weekend.  I will get some pics and post next week!  God Bless!
