Family Vacation - San Antonio 6/7-6/12

We took a break from all of the craziness with getting the house ready to sell and heading to Utah. We went to San Antonio for a week. We loved spending time together as a family. The kids loved it and were really good. Cade had a few melt downs because he would get so tired. He was not good at napping in the car or stroller so by then end of the trip he was kind of a mess. Trips with little kids are not relaxing at all, but it is worth all of the memories. There were a couple of times Billy said, we are not going on another trip with kids until they are older. Kens did really well and loved every minute of it. I just wish Cade would have been able to nap.

Sea World

It down poured for a couple of hours, so we all got soaked.

The kids warming up.

Waiting for Shamu. We didn't really get a show because the whales weren't cooperating. The only thing they could get them to do was splash everyone a lot. I guess you really can't make whales do something they don't want to do.
We stayed at a resort and they had so many fun activities for the kids.

This is Kens petting a baby Kangaroo. They brought in a whole bunch of crazy animals that we could touch.
Playing in the pool
The resort had all of these water slides. The kids had so much fun on these.


Six Flags
Billy and Kens were riding buddies. They went on so many rides. Maybe next time I won't be pregnant. I feel like every time we have gone to a fun place with rides I am pregnant. Billy reminded me that I am ALWAYS pregnant.


This was Kenslee's favorite ride. She was so cute, she loved this one.

This is how Cade was staying entertained.
The fun trip is over.
Even though there were moments of us wondering why in the world we decided to take the kids on this trip, we had such a great time. I love spending time with my little family.

Utah Baby...Here We Come!!

It is true, we are actually moving to Utah. I still am in shock that after being away for five years we are going to make it back there. It is amazing how quickly everything happened. Billy has a great job in Utah that he is really excited about. We are so, so, SO, happy to be done with consulting! It has been a good job for three years and given us so many opportunities. We are just excited and ready for our next stage in life. We have loved our time here in Texas. We have a great house that we will miss, it is always hard to leave something that feels so much like home. We have amazing friends that we will miss SO much. They have been like family to us.

Our house is officially up FOR SALE. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we can sell it fast so that we can be in a house before the baby comes. We will see how that goes. Our plans are to leave by Wednesday and get to Utah by Friday. We are driving our car with a U-Haul trailer and taking the things we think we will need until our house sells. Once our house finally sells we get to have a company move us. This will be so nice. I can't imagine having to pack and move all of our stuff that we have now. I was ok with it when we had a 2 bedroom apartment. We are so anxious to get to Utah and see everyone! We can't wait to live by family and be able to see them whenever we want. This will be so fun and really weird at first, it might take some time getting used to. Being away for five years is a long time. I know we are going to love it though and the kids can't wait.
Cade thought he was really funny standing on the wrong side of the sign. He is a little stinker!

Just thought I would throw this in. 6 months prego. (28 weeks)

Kenslee Graduates!

Kenslee did it...she graduated her first year of preschool! She LOVED going to school. She had so much fun learning and getting to play with so many of her friends. She is very sad it is over. She will miss her teacher, Miss Melissa, she was so great with all of the kids.

They sang a couple of songs that they learned at school.
Leaps and Bounds Preschool Class
We have started our summer of swimming...
Cade is relaxing by the pool.
Kenslee "graduated" gymnastics! They tested her on everything that she has learned and she passed. She has loved gymnastics and it has been so fun for me to watch. This is her class plus a couple of kids from a different class.
Showing off her ribbon.
Good job Kens!
We went to a carnival in Grapevine. It was fun and super hot! Kens loved riding the dragon roller coaster. I loved her face while she was on it, she had the biggest smile.

Waiting for the exciting ride.
This lama made me laugh. I wish I would have gotten a close up of it. It had the funniest face. It was great!
Popsicles in the bathtub.

Texas Rain

I let the kids play in one of our crazy down pours. They got soaked! Kens loved every minute of it, Cade wasn't too sure about it.
Kenslee loves bugs. She is not afraid of any creepy, slimy thing. She was having so much fun finding and picking up worms.


This is where Cade liked to be, in the dry garage.
Here are some pics I have taken of the kids lately.



Cade loves his lions, but he is VERY attached to his blankies.
My cute Kids!
