Destin Day 1 recap

We packed up, caught a plane, and headed to Destin, Florida yesterday. The kiddos did great on the flight (Henley maybe not quite great, but she looked REALLY cute).


We had a short lay over in Houston and after lunch, Henley discovered gum! Thank you big brothers. After lunch...she asked to go to the rest room, for a piece of gum, and for lipstick...is she fifteen? Owen also was very interested in all the tiny babies we saw. He saw one particularly tiny baby and said, "I wish Henley was still tiny"...me too, I thought


We made it!!!! Hooray!!!


After being trapped all morning inside due to sheets of rain, we finally got to head out to the beach!!!! Henley loved the sand but ran from the waves. It was sprinkling and overcast, maybe when it warms up she'll like the water?


So excited to be back at the beach! They have been asking for months when are we going back!


Brody, of course, was last man standing! He could run in and out of those waves for hours nonstop. I LOVE his beach smile! We will have to watch our fearless wave explorer like a hawk this year.


We rolled down to the Crab Shack for dinner and it did not disappoint! We are so blessed to share this wonderful vacation with so much family! Brody the pirate, Brooks the big boy (last year he was in the carseat on that ledge), Henley the diva, Cambree & Owen as Mr. & Mrs. Blue Skies!


A glass of wine while waiting for the sun to set...ahhhhhhh


Crab hunters! This was our second night of hunting...no luck


Worn out! Sweet dreams of crashing waves!

Memorial Day 2013

As soon as school's out, what do you do? Head to the lake with the Lunsfords!

Sporting our new outfits GreatNan sent from Hawaii


First boat-nap of the season


Daddy is our favorite Super Hero!





We are sooooooo cute! I'm a lucky lady!


The dads headed home late Monday to get back to the grind and support of expensive habits! So we headed to Zilker Park in Austin with the kiddos. They enjoyed the playground but snow cones and people watching might have won out!


Next up, was a fun train ride. Then we headed to HulaHut for a delish lunch!


We had to hit up Target and World Market too. We had planned on going home Monday with the dads, so we NEEDED to go shopping for more stuff to keep us going through the week!


Back to the condo for an evening swim before dinner.


Wednesday we had another mini adventure to San Antonio. The Grays, Hoods, and Other Rogers were at the JWMarriott and we needed to see our friends. I wish I had pics to show how much fun we had! Brody, my dare devil, LOVED the huge dark tunnel water slide. Owen enjoyed the kids area with his gal, Chloe and the lazy river was a big hit with the boys. Henley enjoyed a nap! On our way out, we encountered this turtle. Truth be told, this might have been the highlight for the kids....it's the little things!


Thursday, we went over the the Yacht Club at HSB. As you can see, we had it all to ourselves. The weather looked bad, but made for a pleasant time.








We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends Todd and I and our children love so much. Thankful for a great school year and I'm looking forward to a wonderful summer with friends and family! Happy Summer 2013!

Potty Training a Princess...Day 1

Today was day one of potty training Henley...started off excited to pick out princess panties with Nana, followed by immediate accident. I was not surprised seeing as she has never gone potty in a potty before. Then success without much trouble, only to find her in a puddle in the playroom moments later. Our day went on uneventful and with success. I was proud of my little girl. When her brothers were getting ready for their T ball game all our attention was not on her and she comes to find me cooking to tell me she has pooped...I run searching the "product"...there it is...8-10 little nuggets right next to her Princess potty! And she proudly points to her work and exclaims, "ACORNS!"
Grammy kept an eye on her while Nana got to see the boys T ball game and Henley performed well. She is sleeping beauty right now, hopefully dreaming of potty training success!!!!!

Face painting

My children NEVER get their faces painted....

...Guess I can't say that anymore! At the Junior League Children's Event, Owen & Henley got their faces painted for the first time. It was only Brody's second time. I have never discouraged face painting, but I have enjoyed my kiddos disinterest which meant no long lines, no paint on me when I end up carrying someone to the car, and no paint on clothes or couches. Guess those days are a memory. They look SOOOOOOO cute!
