More Travel!

A few weekends back we headed to Austin to celebrate Parker and Liam's 6th and 3rd Birthday.

The day of the party was my actual birthday. I had to sneak away from helping setting up the parties and headed to Kendra Scott and Super Target. My two favorites.

The kids parties were so much and wore the kids out! Lots of jumping and sliding.

And of course my BIG kid had to join in on the fun before all the kids showed up :)




It is so sweet to see the friendship between Laney and Parker. I hope they stay best friends forever. It is so fun to watch their love grow for each other. Some of my best friends were my cousins as well!

Landon worked super hard on a table he built for Tanner and Jodi. This was his first time dealing with concrete and it defintley had some learning curves. He seriously worked months on this table and I was so happy to see the final product. He built it just in time for the parties and got lots of good feedback from people. He now has a list of 5 or 6 people that want one. (But he has lots to build for me before he starts taking orders..lol. First up... a dresser for Kip, a huge farm house table, and I could go on and on).

We headed out early Sunday morning and took the kids to Sea World. It was super duper hot but we had a blast. (We will keep in mind to go in the Fall next time and not the dead heat of the summer).




That evening we stayed at a hotel we booked with Hotwire and scored Big Time!! We got a room 4 miles from Sea World, The Hyatt Hill Country Resort. We could have stayed there for days. The kids loved the water slide and went down it probably a good 50 times. We also enjoyed the lazy river, hammocks and smores by the fire pit.




Monday we woke up for one more day at Sea World.


We decided this time to buy tickets to "Dine with Shamu". It was so worth the money. They served us an all you can eat buffet and Shamu and his friends were out in the water doing tricks. The kids thought it was so cool. Our table was right up against the pool and we could see so good.



We made that an early day and headed home. So glad we had a fun weekend with family and time away with the kids.

Now happy to have a few weeks in town so that we can do a few updates around the house.

Fourth of July in Dallas!!

My sister that lives in Tyler asked us to come to Dallas for July 4th. They had a wedding to go to on a Thurs evening and needed someone to watch Jhett. How could we decline?! 

We packed up and headed out Thurs evening. We had such a fun night. Laney informed Landon and I that this was practice for when we have three kids. Ha!!! Jhett was the best kid ever and we didn't have a single problem! First up, we took the kids to In and Out Burger, then this huge awesome park, and then for some ice cream. So glad we had the evening with him. 
I was clearly excited to see my Jhetty!!


The next morning my mom, step dad and nephew Aiden drove down. The guys played Top Golf, while the girls had fun at the outlets.

Kip is going to be just like his daddy and have a LOVE for golf!!

Saturday morning we took the kids to Sea Life and Legoland in Grapevine! There was so much to see and do. We LOVED them both and will defintley be going back.

Happy 4th of July from these cuties!!!!!!!
He just kills me with his cuteness!!!!
They loved the splash pad at Legoland. It is a must!!


We made so many great memories and had such a wonderful time with our family!!!
