Flashback #4- SEA WORLD ROCKS!

At the end of June in 2009 we took a family trip to Sea World with Randy's sister Tammy and her family. There was an endless amount of activities, however we found that most of our days were spent at the water park. I suppose it could have had something to do with the fact that I was 7 months preggo and that was just the best way to beat the heat. Did find our way to a few of the shows which seemed to captivate little Brady boy.

Brady found another way to beat the heat!

Those are some big shoes to fill little MAN!

Brady's first roller coster ride! He did great!

Thanksgiving Day

Our Lil' Turkeys

This Thanksgiving we spent with Randy's family, which was awesome because I love, love my in-laws. I didnt take a whole slew of pictures as I usually do, but I did get some adorable pictures of my babies!

No matter how challenging my day has been, I am grateful for my healthy vibrant children!

A day at the Zoo

My parents, (AKA Pawpaw and GG) came in for a visit a few days before Thanksgiving. They were among the few Texas teachers that actually had a full week off from school. During their visit, GG suggested we take a trip to the Cameron Park Zoo. It was a perfect fall day for outside activities.

Brady and this train are inseparable.

Turkey Time

Parkview hosted their annual Thanksgiving meal the Thursday before thanksgiving. Randy, Bailey and I joined Brady for a surprisingly tasty feast. Below Brady is sporting his turkey hat!

I hope everyone had a delightful Thanksgiving!

Holidize

Our first Christmas in our new home; something that we have been looking forward to for over a year now. This season, by far, is my FAVORITE time of year, hints the reason started decorating the week before Thanksgiving. We bought a 12ft. Christmas tree this year, which has been challenging to decorate. Brady found such joy as he hung each ornament meticulously, making sure that all the breakable ornaments were out of Baileys reach. Bailey spent most of the time admiring our work and pulling the ornaments off the bottom section of the tree. Enjoy!

A QUICK visit

Last Wednesday we made a visit to Dallas where we visited my dear 91 year old Grandparents. Although there has been a bit of struggle with their health the last month or so, they were still happy as could be to see a couple of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Bailey was captivated by her great-grandfather. Just look at her expression!

This was indeed a memorable visit!
