Seaside ~ Part 1

not sure which night this is... found a place for frozen custard called "frost bites."  amazing custard!  omg!

totally unedited.  SOOC.  just a day in life at the beach with a 2 & 4 yo.  trying to take the 1 millionth picture.

this was not our 'official' family photo, but i thought it turned out better than the dressy one i planned & we weren't even trying!  the girl i got to take this picture happened to be a photography major in college for the last 3 years!  thank you, Lord!  wow!

our family photo attempts.  went too early.  before the sunset.  before dinner.  note to self: will plan better next time!

Seaside preview...

the boys getting ready to go to the beach the first day after we arrived.  truly... THE best memories we have ever made with our sweet family of four!

all these pictures are SOOC (straight out of the camera).  i wanted to get a few of them posted before i lose all track of time with reid starting preschool.  :)

love ALL the scenery in seaside.  amazing. 

our fav restaurant of the week.  george's in alys beach.  *love*

"Toy Tory"

Riley LOVES "Toy Tory" as he so fondly calls it.  Wakes up everyday wanting to watch the movie.  If only, bubba.  Then we would never go anywhere! 

This week in pictures...

This has been our week.  Playing with as many toys as we can find.  Mama creativity has not so much been a-flowin'.  Riley has been sick and we have been stuck in the house for about 3 days now.  Coloring books, play-doh, puzzles, tv, snacks, tv, snacks.  Is it vacation time yet?

Splash & run

A couple of weeks ago, I finally got a chance to take the boys to this cool splash park in Allen I'd heard about through a friend.  It was so fun and the boys LOVED it!  They had a ball playing in the fountains and running around this blue wall about 100 gazillion times!  Can I be a kid again?  I wanna run & splash and not have a care in the world for one day. 

Entertainment post

emily & jef

Okay... Can I just say I seriously HEART this couple??  They are truly the cutest couple I have yet to see on the Bachelor or Bachelorette shows!  I love Emily Maynard and think she is one classy, elegant girl.  She knows how to pick 'em and Jef is one amazing guy!  I really hope these 2 make it. Really, really y'all!  I know it's tv land, but come on, someone has to make it besides Trisha & Ryan, right?  

Love this one too....

End of Summer MDO program

I love these little music programs the boys' school do every year.  They do one at Christmas & at the end of the year.  If your kiddos attend the summer program, they do one at the end of that too.  The boys only went 1 day a week this summer, but Reid expressed a strong interest in wanting to participate.  So, what's a mommy to do when her son says he wants to get up on stage & sing with his friends?  Well, of course, I made sure he was able to go to school that day & sing his little heart out!  Even Daddy got to come watch him perform since he is so close to their school now.  That was the icing on the cake!  

Yay Reid!  You did an awesome job, buddy!  Mommy & Daddy couldn't have been more proud of you singing up there with all of your friends & teachers!  Precious, priceless moments!
