TEXAS! TEXAS! TEXAS!

Charlie and I got to go visit my cute twin sister and her two girls in Texas all last week. Her husband was out of town for two weeks doing stuff with the Air Force so we went to keep them company. We had so much stinkin' fun that I want to go back already! Here are LOTS of pictures from the fun trip. The first one is of Charlie on his very first plane ride. He did so well! He just took a little nap then played with the arm hair on the guy next to me (so funny!) On the way home he slept the first half then just sat on my lap and snuggled me...it was the sweetest thing in the world! The only thing that was hard about traveling with a baby by yourself on a plane is going into the incredibly small bathroom and changing a poopy bum on your lap during turbulance and trying to keep your baby from wiggling off your lap cause he thinks it's a fun game bouncing all over the place with your pants off! Good times, good times!

We went to the pool a few times and it was so nice and relaxing. Charlie didn't love the cold water the first day so he just crawled around and chilled on the lounge chair, but the second day he let me get him in and he seemed to really like it:) The girls were so fun, Maddie would just run and jump in and Bryn was a little more reserved and would just play in the waterfall with me and Charlie.









We got to play princess and yes I know that my husband is going to kill me for taking this picture of Charlie dressed like a princess, but that is just what happens when you have ALL girl cousins:) (and sorry about how beautiful I look it was 7:30 in the morning so I hadn't put my face on yet)



We went to SeaWorld one of the days we were there and we had so much fun! Charlie LOVED to see the animals, but he did get a little tuckered out and took a nap:) The girls were so fun to go with and they loved showing me and Charlie the Shamoo show:)








Thank you Nikki, Maddie, and Bryn for letting us come visit we had so much fun and we LOVE you so much!!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you all had as fun of an Easter as our little family did. Church was wonderful, the Easter Bunny came to our house, we had fun and food with family, and Charlie was a total crack up in his cute Easter outfit trying to eat plastic eggs!:) Here is what we found when we woke up, a trail of jelly beans to our baskets.

Charlie helped Mom pick up all the beans leading to our baskets.

Look at all the fun stuff we got!


Here is Charlie in his cute Easter outfit with Mom and Dad.


Charlie and Dad getting ready for the Easter egg hunt at Neena's house.

Ready...Set...GO!!

Gotta love the taste of plastic!

Sweet success!

Well Charlie loved the eggs, but he is still too small to eat the candy. Auntie Nat felt bad so she decided to let him have a taste of a sucker. You would have thought the kid had been doing it his whole life! He shoved that huge sucker in his mouth and went to town! He loved it! Mom however had to be the mean one and take it away...he is still too little for that much sugar...sorry sweetie pie!

Papa and Charlie just hangin out after all the excitement.

Happy Easter from our family to yours!
