A few weeks ago we flew out to Texas to hang out with Alan's family. We had such a great time! The weather was 70-80! It was very relaxing just to hang out, read and do nothing. Justin had such a blast! He loves his grandma and grandpa so much and loves hanging out at their house. I took a bunch of pictures. I am so sad I didn't get the best one! Justin really wanted to go swimming even though the pool was 60 degrees! We tried to talk him out of it but for 2 days he begged. We decided to finally let him and it was pretty funny to watch. He acted like it was so warm even though he was shivering. He was also in his underwear since we didn't have a swimsuit for him. Anyway here are the pictures I took:
Here is Alan's brother Austin tying Justin up to see if he could get out by himself.
This one is hilarious! (It only took him maybe 30sec to escape.)
At our favorite Mexican Restaurant called Rosa's. This place really is amazing!
Me and the husband
Justin got is 'first pet.' He was so excited! Can you tell how proud he is. He named him Rex. Really? Rex?
Taking Alan's dad car for a spin. I decided to see what kind of power this car really had. As I accelerated, the back tired spun out and the car started to move back and forth. Haha! Won't be doing that again! I decided to pull over and let Alan take the wheel. My Corvette days are over!
I walked in this room to find Justin going hard on the Elliptical. He asked Alan to time him to see how long he could go. He went for 11 minutes straight! Pretty impressive for a 5yr old, I must say. I guess my habits are rubbing off on this kid. ;)
I took Justin to get ready for bed one night. We thought it would be funny to put my pj's on him and have him walk out and act like nothing was wrong. I know it's not that funny but it was one of those 'ya had to be there' funny moments.
My father in law took Justin for a spin in his car. He accelerated to 60mph in seconds and it freak Justin out. He started to cry but was trying to be tough at the same time. Poor kid!
All the guys washed Austin's car together.
This is us playing the Wii. I hate video games. Wii isn't as bad but still am not a fan. Justin taught be how to play his favorite game. He was so sweet and so patient and encouraging. Pretty funny to hear a 5yr old encouraging a 31yr on a video game. Haha!
Alan with his favorite girls!
My sister in law. Isn't she beautiful? I love this girl! We had a great time together that week.
Justin was obsessed with playing nerf guns. Every day he wanted to have a gun fight with me. This one day while playing I wanted to get a picture with him (after playing for an hour!) Can ya tell by the expression on his face it wasn't a good time? I love it! So priceless!
Awe! He took one anyway!
We took Justin to an Easter egg hunt the morning we left. He's so adorable!
Justin racing Audrey
And he own.
My mother in law made this cake for the activity. I thought it was pretty creative.
Leaving Texas and headed home. He's so camera shy, I know!
Awe! I love the relationship these too have.
On Easter, we headed to my parents for dinner and a little Easter egg hunt. My nephew asked me if we were going to have an Easter egg hunt. I told him I didn't know. His reply was, "But my Mom told me that you are the boss of everything and know everything." Haha!
Thomas getting an egg. He's so adorable! I love this kid!
Little Banana. (IE: Hanna) Awe!
Thomas with my Dad
Alexis
The kids separating their candy. I love this picture of Christian.
Alan and my sister Crystalyn throwing Big T back and forth. I love that my family loves Alan so much. Some days I think they would trade me for him if they had too. Haha!
Thomas had a birthday in March. We had a little celebration for him in Easter. I just love his little curls. He turned the big 2 and as much as I love watching grow up I'm so sad he's not a baby anymore.
Our family has this tradition where we sing happy birthday in English, Spanish, French and Swedish. Spanish bc we grew up in South America. One of my brother in laws went on a French speaking mission and my other brother in law went to Sweden. Alan went to West Africa and he claims they don't sing it there so we don't add on to our already long song! It's fun to sing and the kids are getting pretty good at it!
We had such a great time and I'm still trying to 'deflate' from that day. We ate way too much! I guess that is what ya do on Easter!
