Great Wolf Lodge

Fourth of July weekend we packed up and headed to Great Wolf Lodge. We planned the trip with Tanner and Jodi and the kiddos. We love our time with them, and since moving to Austin we don't get to see them near enough, so this time was definitely needed.

The kids were so pumped and could hardly wait to get to play with their cousins.

I really wish we could have visited more. Great Wolf is crazy packed, so it seemed we chased kids all weekend. Next trip will have to be at a beach house or somewhere with less people so we can just visit and watch the kids run and play around. The kids had a blast with the water slides, pools, arcades, games and shopping.

My LOVES (and little wolves) in one picture!

Sweet cousin Parker!

Sweet cousin Liam!

Best I could get with a fussy, sleepy Kingston. lol!

Pretty girls with pretty tans!

Landon and Tanner had fun on the ropes course!

Poor Kingston came down with a fever two days before we left for our trip. He had an ear infection and raspy lungs. The doctor said he would be good to leave out of town, we were just instructed to do breathing treatments three times a day.

Well, let's just say traveling with a baby is hard, but traveling with a baby with an ear infection is even worse. He was great on the car ride, but was pretty fussy all weekend and super sleepy. He lasted a good two hours in the water the first day but was done with it the second day. He had a few rough nights and go figure the day we arrive back home, he was as happy as can be. I am so glad he started feeling better because that was a little tough.

But these kiddos had the times of their lives, so it made it all worth it.

There are lots of birthday's in the month of July for our family, so we got to celebrate Tanner, Parker and Liam on this trip.

So glad we had a weekend to sneak away and can't wait for the next trip with a happy, healthy baby :)

Tyler Trip!

We loaded up and headed to Tyler on Father's Day weekend to celebrate my new niece, Josie, that will make her appearance very soon. (4 days to be exact, we will get to share a birthday) :)

My mom and I threw my sister, Chelsea, a baby sprinkle. She had already had another shower, so this one was mainly for family. We had an ice cream bar with all the fixings and had it at my sister's house that they just had built. It was gorgeous and I was so excited to see it all fixed up.

Getting SO excited to meet this precious one!

Sisters are a girls best friend!! Don't know what I would do without them!

Fun thing about my their new house is all the land and cattle! We had so much fun riding around looking at the gorgeous scenery, feeding the cows and relaxing.

I was also able to talk my sis into taking a few pics of our family on her land ;) Love the way they turned out and love even more that I didn't have to stress over picture taking because they were free. lol!

This old barn was so cool!!

We had a great weekend in Tyler and are looking forward to going back soon to meet the precious little Josie Earlene!
