Our quick trip to Galveston

Last Monday we decided to leave on Tuesday to take the boys to Galveston. We had been trying to decide where to take Luke for a little trip before Kindergarten. We had decided San Antonio, but did not think Jake would do well at Sea World all day without a nap. So we thought we would leave Jake with my mom. Then we decided on Galveston. Luke had been wanting to go to the beach. The last beach trip we took was when I was pregnant with Jake and we had to evacuate less than 24 hours after arriving due to a hurricane. Did I mention that beach was Rosemary Beach by Destin, and we flew, and we had to drive home because our flights were cancelled. Well Rosemary beach is much prettier than Galveston. Galveston is pretty dirty, but our boys thought they were in Hawaii. They did not seem to mind the cigarette butts everywhere, they had a blast. It worked out well. We played at the beach, swam, and went to Schlitterbahn. Jake really studied all the pamplets on Schlitterbahn. It was really funny, he kept finding them a reading them. We drove home straight from schlitterbahn and decided to play putt putt. It was about 8 oclock. Luke had wanted to play in Galveston, but it was too crowded. We had so much fun. A perfect trip for 2 little boys!!

Cedar Creek Lake

Last weekend we went to our old neighbors lake house on Cedar Creek lake. It was awesome. We had such an amazing time. The boys had so much fun. They tubed, jet skied, swam in the pool and lake, made smores, and just relaxed. No kidding on Saturday they were in the water from 9-almost 7. They had such a great time.

My little fish

Most days in summer we swim. Most days in summer we swim more than once. It is a good thing my boys have always loved to swim. If not, we would have a pretty boring and frustrating swimmer. I have decided I am a much better outside mom than inside mom. I love to play outdoors. Jake is fearless of the water. He wants Scott to throw him as high as he can. He loves it. He will jump off waterfalls or anything else. We must keep the floaties on. I am much more nervous with him than Luke. Luke loves to swim, this summer he has become a fish. He is really a great swimmer. He has never been scared of the water and has always jumped from things, but I never feared him taking his floats off. I love summer...it is already going by too fast!!

Happy Birthday/Anniversary/Father's Day Scotty!!

This is Scott's big week. He turned 32 on Sunday, we will celebrate 9 years being married on Thursday, and Father's Day in Sunday. We usaully have a big celebration, but because I was out of town at a funeral yesterday, this year is much calmer. We will have friends over tonight to have cake. Scott had planned a suprise for me on Friday, but the funeral ruined it. We were going to get to go on a ride along with Dallas police men. We could not go in the same car, but were both getting to go. Now most of you would think, what a crazy anniversary present, however I think it is awesome. Scott and I are crazy and love to watch cops. It is so cool, so that was such a sweet gesture and I am so bummed I did not get to go. Scott is so precious to me. He is the best husband and dad. I am so blessed to have him to do life with. So happy birthday/anniversary/father's Day Hotty Scotty. I love you more than you could ever know. Thank you for being great!!

Football Camp and Swim Lessons

So today was a big day of summer. Luke started football camp and Jake started swim lessons. Luke was so excited. He was worried he woke up late, that would be 7 and was not going to be there on time. Not to worry, we arrived in plenty of time. We left football camp to head to Jake's swim lessons. He started with Ms. Kelly, who by the way is the best swim teacher ever. Luke went when he was 3 and could swim accross the pool within a couple of days.

Here are how camp and lessons went...

Mom, do you know what hike the ball means?

I said what does it mean.

Well, he says, it is a situation when blah, blah, blah is all I heard.

I could not believe he started a sentence with it is a situation. Hello are you 30?

Jake had a fun time at swim lessons. He is not scared at all. He is a mommy's boy, so he had to warm up to Ms. Kelly. After that he was all Jake. He was throwing everything across the pool, and he kept jumping off the step. The teachers would have another child and Jake would be under water. He is crazy!! He is very fun, but has no fear. He even went under the water to get a ring that was on the bottom step.

We are starting the summer off busy and fun!!
