Busy Times....But Fun Times!!!

Well, the past few weekends, we have been going NONSTOP....let me tell you, it's pretty tiring! Last weekend, we went to Galveston with the McGlones and had a long weekend with both boys and our great friends Amelia and Kevin. The weekend before that, our oldest nephew, Mr. Grant, turned three....yes, thats right....THREE!!!

Below is all about our Galveston trip....Hope you enjoy....there are some FUN pictures here....

Right here is the beginning of our mud fight. LOL... we were down by the water while the boys were up at the beach. Kevin sees us throwing mud on each other and says "Dude, you know our wives are throwing mud on each other, right?" Next thing we know, we see Kevin running with the camera and here comes Mike right behind him.
Here it is getting pretty messy and at the end. If you look at Elliott, he is laughing because he thinks it is funny! I was trying to stuff mud in her pants because she put a HUGE handful in mine!
She ran into the water trying to escape the mud in the pants, so I run after her and of course Mr. Elliott is following us in....haha....

Isn't Mr. Elliott precious? Gosh he's gotten to be a big boy and has come a long way from where he started his life as a premature baby! He is still so sweet but can have his moody moments. Even though thats the case, we still love him so much!
Look how big Mr. Declan has gotten. I can't believe he is a year old. Let me tell you, this baby has changed from a baby that cries all the time to a baby that laughs, plays, smiles, and is fun to be around. We love him so much as well!

Look at the McGlone brothers together. OMG....now that Declan is getting older, he is looking more and more like his older brother! They were so fun to be around all weekend long.

There's a picture of me and my wonderful, sweet husband going for a dip in the ocean. OMG that water was freezing but was fun once you got in! I love Mike so much and am so proud to be his wife. This will be a fun picture to look back on in twenty to thirty years to see ourselves as NEWBIES still in the married life! I can't believe its almost been a YEAR!!!!

Mr. Elliott was getting a pail of water to put in his moat around his sand castle. He was so darn precious and enjoyed every minute of the beach.

Me and baby Declan... I love him and enjoyed every minute of the beach experience with him. The second I put him down, he was crawling around and digging in the sand. So much fun to watch!

Uh-oh. Someone has brother's sunglasses. Shouldn't those be on Elliott's face? LOL. Oh well he was definitely entertained!

Our New Car!!!



Well, last night we went and bought a new car. Our truck was having a few major problems that we didn't want to chance having to fix so we traded it in. It was EXTREMELY hard letting it go, but it was a decision that had to be made. We traded it in for a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. It is twilight blue metallic on the outside and jet back/beige interior.

On the way home, Mike and I realized that we are growing up now because we bought a SUV and got rid of the sporty truck that we both loved so much. Mike made the comment that with this decision it is definitely for our future family.

Enjoy a few pictures below of the new car that I love as well as goodbye pictures of the truck that is definitely missed!

This is the last picture that I took of our truck. I wish we were two years later because then we could have kept it and gotten the new car. But this decision is the best and we enjoyed that truck for a wonderful 3-4 years.

This picture is of the new car on Sunday when we walked around dealerships searching for the right one. Michael made a comment when we found it and were just standing there staring at it that this could be the car that our children come home from the hospital in and you know what....IT WILL BE THE CAR THAT THEY COME HOME IN because we now have it as our new SUV!!! :D

This is the final picture of this experience. We said hello to the Equinox and goodbye to the Colorado at this moment. Its very sad to not have the truck that we drove to Boaz, Alabama for.

We love both of these vehicles but can only afford one....It was time to say goodbye and move on to something more family friendly. We know it will go to someone good and they will enjoy it as much as we do!

This is like our memory blog for the pretty blue 2007 Chevrolet Colorado Extreme as well as the day that we bought our family car!
