Port Aransas Trip

Last Thursday thru Sunday we were in Port Aransas. We had a really good time. We stayed at the Aransas Princess with another couple and their son, Mark. Thursday when we arrived, the guys went to play golf and Kathleen and I took the boys to the beach. I was anxious to see what Tyler thought. He loved it!! He ran right into the water. Tyler and Mark had fun digging in the sand. Friday morning we went to the Aquarium in Corpus. The boys had a really good time. Here is Scott and Tyler trying to touch the sting rays.Friday night, we took the boys to the beach again while the guys played one more round of golf. From our room on one side you can see the golf course. This is actually a picture of Scott and John on the 12th tee. The other one is just of the golf course. The last picture is the view of the ocean from our balcony.Saturday morning I went Parasailing. It was cool. When you're up there in the air, it's so peaceful-you can't hear anything. You just sit back and relax. Unfortunately the lady in the boat that took some pictures didn't do that great of a job, but that is me.That afternoon, we rented a cart/buggy. It was fun riding around the town and down on the beach in it. That night all of us went to the beach.

It was a nice get away. Thanks John, Kathleen, and Mark for going with us.

Going to the beach

Tomorrow we leave for Port Aransas. We're meeting our friends, John & Kathleen there. They have a little boy, Mark, about 6 weeks older than Tyler. It should be a good little get away. I'll post pictures and update you on our adventures when we get back on Sunday.

Happy Father's Day

I'd like to wish Scott a Happy Father's Day. Scott is a great Dad and Tyler just adores him. The minute Scott gets home from work, Tyler is all about him. Dadda has to read him his books, color with him, go with him outside, push him in the swing, change his diapers, put on his PJ's, and the list goes on. If I try to do those things when Dadda is home, Tyler tells me, "no." I love that he loves his Dadda so much.

Zachary Thomas

Here are some pictures of my new nephew.

New Arrival

I would like to welcome my new nephew into the world. Little Zachary Thomas Lightheart was just born at 7:54 pm. He weighs 9 lbs, 4 oz and is 20 inches long. Congrats Val & Jason and Allissa. I will post a picture as soon as I get one.

Wicked

Last night, my two girlfriends, Rachel and Julia, and I went to see Wicked. It was soooo good! I can't tell you enough how great it was. I want to see it again. Before the show, we ate at Paesanos, which was delicious. It was a fun night out with the girls. Thank you Scott for watching Tyler!

Elisa's visit

My best friend, Elisa, from IL came for a visit with her son Caden. We had a really good time together. I can't believe she has to leave today. I'm going to miss her. The boys played really well together. They played with the sprinkler and water table. We also went to the pool, which Caden loved! We went to the Riverwalk and Alamo. The boys were so well behaved while there. We went on the boat ride/tour of the Riverwalk. Last, but not least, Elisa and I did lots of scrapbooking!! I got 5 or 6 layouts done, which is a lot in the scrapbooking world. Here are some pictures from the visit.

Tyler found a new use for the water table: cleaning off his feet.

Playdate at Emily's

Yesterday, Tyler had a playdate with his friend Emily. They played on the slide, in the pool, in the sandbox and with sidewalk chalk. They chased the kitty cat around inside and had lunch together at Emily's little table. Last, but not least, Tyler's first kiss!!

This and That

I have just a few different pictures to post. First, this is the new addition to our backyard. Tyler loves watching the birds eat from our new bird feeder. Everyday many times he tells me-Dadda, meaning him and Dadda hung up the feeder. Whenever he sees a bird there, he signs eat.

One of Tyler's new thing he loves doing is looking at pictures. He loves to look at pictures I have on the computer of him and his friend Mark. He also likes to look at his scrapbook, the dogs scrapbooks (yes, our dogs each have a scrapbook; they were like our kids before Tyler was born. Their books haven't been updated since he was born) and our wedding album. Grandma Chambers made him little scrapbooks from their visits and our visits up there and he reads those everyday.

Today is started thundering, so Tyler asked if it was going to rain. I said, maybe, and then he kept wanting to go to the car. He was very persistent, so I let him go and he wanted to get the umbrella. He was prepared if it rained-it never did by the way.
