Summer Vacation 2012

We headed back to Florida for our family vacation again this summer. May was a better month to be there. The weather was great, and it only rained once for about 15minutes. Greg surprised me with a day resort at Discovery Cove for my birthday. Gigi came with us, so she got to enjoy the surprise too. We had our own Cabana right up next to the sand and saltwater pool. It was a man made coral reef with tons of tropical fish and huge sting rays where we could snorkel and swim among them. We even got a glimpse of the sharks through their glass home. Caleb and Lex loved seeing all the sea life so close. They even tried a little snorkeling themselves.



Greg scheduled for Mom and I to do the Sea Adventure Excursion underwater where we could walk along the bottom of the water and enjoy all the sea creatures up close.

My last surprise of the day was to swim with the dolphins. Our dolphin was named Dixie and weighed almost 600lbs. It was a totally awesome experience. They even had me stand up front by myself so she could bring me a Happy Birthday buoy. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

Easter 2012/Bluebonnets

For Easter this year, we headed back to Brady to hang out. Aunt Dani organized a family reunion as well as birthday bash for Maggie's and our cousin's son, Noah's, first birthdays. On the way home we saw beautiful bluebonnets lined up along the road, so we stopped for some quick pictures of the kids. The reunion was a success. We had so much fun catching up with everyone and just hanging out. The kids had a blast with the Easter egg hunt and getting to play with all the cousins.

Easter Sunday we all got dressed in our finest to Celebrate the Risen Christ. Then headed home to Fort Worth to find that the Easter Bunny had visited there too. He left some wonderful surprises for the kids.

Lexie antics

Lexie is 2y and 4mo now and she is super silly. She often tells me she is an animal (often a dog, lion, crocodile, or monkey). Then she tells me what I should ask her "Say whatcha doing lion." We still haven't gotten this potty training thing down yet, so when she poops she tells me "it's a lion poopy then roar's". I agree with her. She currently is going around saying "How Rude", not sure where she got that one. She often talks of her friends at school. Mostly to tell me "Audrey hit me" or "Ethan pushed me", though I think she has a crush on Jacob. After hanging out with him at last weekends party, she talks of him nonstop. His Mom brought cupcakes to school and Lex told me they were "yummy cupcakes". Last night Greg went to tuck Lex in and told her he loved her, she replied "I love Jacob". I'm thinking it's a little early for boyfriends. LOL!

Caleb Lost His First Tooth!

Greg said when he picked Caleb up from school, Caleb was so excited about having a loose tooth. Then while eating dinner, it came out! You would have thought it was the best thing that ever happened to him. He was very proud and looking forward to putting it under his pillow for the tooth fairy to visit him. This morning he burst into my room and I woke to a very excited Caleb showing me a new dollar from the tooth fairy. Now I just have to keep him from trying to pull out his other teeth before they're ready to come out.
