Anniversary in South Padre Island!!

To celebrate our 4 year anniversary, Jeff took off work and we went on vacation to South Padre Island which is an island in the Gulf of Mexico. We stayed in a hotel right on the beach, so it was so nice to just go and relax. The bad thing is that we were dumb and got burnt on the first day we were there. It was also our first real far away vacation with Jamisen. He loved the beach and we are pretty sure he ingested an unhealthy amount of sand...but I guess that comes with the territory. We had such a great time...and it was an amazing way to celebrate 4 years of marriage!

We got some bubbles and a kite from the store and Jamisen loved watching the both of them.

He loves his dad...

At the restaurant we went to they had live music, and the guy playing loved Jamisen and actually dedicated and played a song for him.

We love Jamo's chunky little feet...they are like bricks. :)

Jamisen was being a stinker and kept waking up in our hotel room throughout the night, so Jeff took him out to the beach each morning at sunrise so I could catch some extra sleep. This is a cute picture he took, and also explains why he is in his pajamas.

We saw a sea turtle in the water which was amazing...

We also visited a place where they save injured sea turtles so they can be released back in the ocean.

We also had a stopover in Chorpus Christi which was a really fun town. The weather was hot and nice, and we strolled up and down the boardwalk.

Jeff and Jamisen doing some father-son fishing off the dock into the ocean...as you can see they are in heaven.
In Corpus they have this huge retired war ship called the USS Lexington. Apparently it is one of the most famous World War 2 ships. Supposedly it is haunted by soldiers that died in it...a little creepy.

4 years!!!

This post is definitely late but I wanted to quickly mention that Jeff and I just celebrated our 4 year anniversary earlier this month! I can't believe how quickly time flies. I am so grateful for Jeff in my life. He makes life fun and exciting. He always know how to make me laugh and put a smile on my face. One of my favorite things about him is his eternal optimism. He is always looking on the bright side, even when I try really hard for him to admit something stinks, he just won't do it. He can see the good in any situation and I love that! It has been the greatest thing watching him become a father. He is so good with Jamisen and it is so cute to see him dote on his little boy. I could go on and on but I will just say, I love you Jeffy and I'm so glad you're mine! :)

Weekend in the Texas Hill Country

Here are some pictures from a couple weekends ago on our trip to Austin and Fredricksburg. The weather was gorgeous and the scenery was beautiful. Nothing like a relaxing weekend getaway!

Frolicking in the Bluebonnets

Beginning in March/April the Texas bluebonnets come out and it is amazing to see field after field of blueness. When the girls came into town at the beginning of April we drove out to the country and got some bluebonnet shots. My cute little man

This pose has become a tradition for Cascia and I to do whenever we get together for girls weekends. Two years ago she visited us in Utah and we jumped near some tulips (below). As you can see, my jumping skills have improved . . . a little bit. I think I am trying to channel a crane in the one below? Keep in mind I did not do cheer in high school so this stuff is hard for a tall person like myself! ;) Anyways, after several tries and laughing fits we got the picture above. I'm pretty impressed if I say so myself!
