Day 3

The last day, we got up and did a few things around the hotel before checking out. DSC03704 DSC03702 DSC03705

Next, we wanted to stop by the Gaylord Resort and visit the Alice in Wonderland exhibits. It was so gorgeous. It was a quick trip because the kids were tired and hungry and that is NOT a good combo!DSC03711 DSC03714 DSC03716 DSC03719 DSC03721 This was made totally out of sand!DSC03732 Giant chess set.DSC03735 DSC03736

This was a fabulous trip, and we had so much fun. Mom and I had a blast, and we couldn't have asked for the kids to behave any better. I have never seen Colton laugh so much…he LOVED Great Wolf! I can’t wait to take them back with the rest of the family : )

Day 2

The next morning we got up and headed straight to the pool. We spent the whole morning at the water park, and the kids had a blast! Colton LOVED the “blue slide” and Raelee was FEARLESS on the huge adult slides. Good thing she had her water shoes on, or she would not have made the height requirements : )DSC03619 DSC03622 DSC03624 DSC03627 DSC03639 DSC03644DSC03648We stopped for a lunch break, and took the kids to the Cub Club, where they could do arts and crafts and play. Colton played on the computer while Raelee and I made them souvenir shirts.DSC03660  DSC03664     DSC03668 Next we hit the arcade for a few games.DSC03676 DSC03674DSC03682

We headed back for a little more swimming, then down to the lobby for story time….again : )DSC03683 DSC03684 DSC03686 Raelee posed with Violet after story time.DSC03690 DSC03691 DSC03694 Poor Colton fell asleep while Mom and I were enjoying our fabulous country fried steak. Then, sleeping beauty was right behind him.DSC03698 My babies had a fantastic day!

Grapevine, Tx. Vacation-Day 1

We have been trying to plan a trip this summer, but with moving, and everyone’s schedule it has just been impossible. So, mom and I decide to just gather up the kiddos, and run over to Grapevine, Tx for a quick end of the summer trip. Our main stay was Great Wolf Lodge, but before checking in, we headed to the Children’s Museum in Fort Worth.

The kids were totally freaking out and could not wait to hit the water.DSC03604 DSC03605 DSC03607 This place is so amazing and perfect for the kids. DSC03609 DSC03615 They have story time in the lobby each night, and the characters come alive and sing. The kids loved it, and it was a perfect way to end a long day : )

Bellinis And Blowouts

Cassie had girl’s night at her house this month. She  had a fabulous hair dresser from Alexander and Co…Cabe Nowlen, come to her house, and play dress up with all of our hair. We just came with wet hair, and let him do something fun. I wanted soft curls, and he made me look like a bond girl. It was so much fun : )DSC03519DSC03522DSC03528 DSC03530

I’ve Been A Good Girl

My sweet husband bought me this beautiful new (well, new to me) SUV. It’s a Chrysler Aspen, and I absolutely LOVE it! It does everything you can image from, tell you where to go, open up the tail gate for you, dials your phone, opens the ceiling, seats 7 people, to heating your hiney…..plus much more. I am so super excited!DSC03512 DSC03518 DSC03513 DSC03516 DSC03515
