Summer 2013- Sea World

Once again I have fallen way behind keeping up with the blog. Boooo!

A friend inspired me to catch up so here I go! Summer seems like it was forever ago but I wanted to document our little excursion to Sea World.
Reese picked Sea World for the 2nd time this year and we had a great time. She was tall enough to ride all the rides at the water park this time and she loved them all.

We spent two days going back and forth from Sea World and Aquatica We went over the Sea World side to take a break from the sun and see a couple shows but the majority of our time was at the water park. Little miss Reese has no fear of water slides!

After the long day at Sea World we ventured over the the River Walk to eat dinner and roam around a bit. Reese thought she needed this hat!

Cabo Wabo Baby!

About once a year I get the chance to get away from work, kiddo, responsibility, etc, it is always such a welcome break from reality! This year Jeff and I went to Cabo for a few days. I'm a pretty lazy vacationer...by lazy I mean I like to sleep in, work out, and then lay in the sun all day. LOVE IT!
Luckily we are on the same page for the most part and when he gets bored or sunburned he goes to find something else to do while I snooze or read in the sun.

Hello RELAXATION!

We happened to be there on the 4th of July and the resort had a huge party. It was fun and a little odd to be in Mexico for America's Birthday but whatever:)

We did a kayaking tour one day out to see the arch! The water was rough and they were talking about a storm coming in the following day but it was a good workout and the view was amazing!

After that we snorkeled on this little island. Some of the sea life was bigger then I was...it was very cool and a little unnerving too!

I had been reading some brain rotting beach smut series the entire trip. There was a sea gull in the book, they called him Frank...I thought it was fitting to name this guy Frank!

As much as I always enjoy the time away, the best part is always coming home to this mess!

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy First Birthday Molly Molly Monster!

It's hard to believe this cray cray puppy is turning one already!

Reese and Molly kind of fight like siblings....I should say Reese gets mad when Molly doesn't mind her bossy self! ha! I on the other hand really really enjoy Molly. She's good company when Reese is gone to Bob's and Molly loves me! She's totally my dog:) She's a good walking partner and although she is not at all protective I hope she might grow into that someday!

We love you Molly Monster! Happy Birthday!

Prodigy Dance Recital

After two years of dance lessons at Primrose, this year Reese wanted to take dance lessons at a real studio. We chose Prodigy dance so she could be in the same class as her friends Landry and Elyse. Reese loved it and always had fun dancing her heart out. I happened to enjoy the once a week opportunity to catch up with Landry's momma:)

They did ballet, tap and jazz but because they are so young they only did one dance in the recital. They chose a jazz dance to the song "Call me Maybe" which happens to be one of Reese's favorite songs. Reese and the other girls had a great time...no stage fright at all!

Nanny came to watch...

She and I were both tinkled pink that this dance recital was a lot shorter and hectic then the dance recitals I used to participate in. Yay Prodigy for making it simple!

I'm so proud of my cute little dancer!

Primrose Graduation

I'm not going to lie, when Reese brought home graduation information asking for 25 dollars for a cap and gown for Kindergarten graduation at Primrose I thought that was kind of silly.

But when I saw this face in that cap and gown I got tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat.

Each class sang a song and then their teachers gave a short speech talking about some of her favorite things about each kid. They also read what each kid wanted to be when they grow up. Reese said she wanted to be a dolphin trainer. That one has been a popular choice for her every since we made a few visits to Sea World!

I am so incredibly lucky to be this little girl's momma. God has blessed me with an amazingly silly, smart, strong willed, sassy child!

I can't wait to see what big kid school has in store for you sweet Reese!

Bluebonnets 2013

Every since Reese was born I have always always wanted to have pictures made in the Bluebonnets. It seems like everyone I know with kids in Texas takes Bluebonnet pics every year! Finally at age 5, Reese is officially a Texan:)

This one is my FAVORITE! Love her!





These pretty ladies wanted a few shots too...

Of course little miss just couldn't stand not being in the picture with them:)

My friend Missy does a great job at a very reasonable price if you are looking for a photographer..go check her out.  Thanks Missy for capturing all my favorite peeps in the Texas Bluebonnets!

Mother's Day 2013

Reese was  fighting a tummy bug and wasn't feeling 100% so we had a low key weekend of celebrating Mothers Day.

We did quite a bit of this....Poor Baby didn't feel good!




My mom and Dad came just for the day and Nanny and Reese painted this super cute pot for my Mothers Day gift. Reese perked up to play in the paint and the dirt planting the flowers. Notice she is still in her PJ's in the picture.



I wouldn't trade anything in the world for the chance to spend the day with my baby, sick or not!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's we love!
