5 Year Anniversary Trip

Jeremy and I will celebrate, 5 years of marriage bliss this September (wow, that is hard to believe). Since we are expecting our second little princess in late August, we know our hands will be full, so we decided to go ahead and get away now. We just spend the last several days in West Palm Beach, FL at the PGA golf and spa Resort.


Having tried to snorkel and kayak in Australia and Fiji while being pregnant and not enjoying it (I honestly felt like I was going to drown while snorkeling and I have never felt that way before... but with the baby already restricting my lung capacity and then having the restriction of snorkel as well... well, it was just not enjoyable), I knew the Caribbean/MX was out for us, so I decided to try and find something where Jeremy could enjoy some time playing golf, and I could enjoy time by the pool just laying out and reading plus working out (since I feel like it has been forever since I worked-out steadily, and I really miss it!). Anyway, we also wanted to stay in the States, so we were down to a couple of options and I finally decided FL sounded perfect, so I booked it. I am so happy I did. We have had the best time together.



Jeremy got to play SO much golf, that his arms are sore and his hands have callouses all over them, and I'm well... caught up on some reading (amongst other things), plus red as a lobster :-)


West Palm Beach and Palm Beach, FL are spectacular! They are such clean, beautiful cities. It is also very apparent that very affluent people reside here and even those who are not billionaires, obviously have pride in what they have and keep their things very nice.



We were are on Palm Beach.


Us, "chillaxing" at the pool...





Jeremy cracked me up, by asking me, if he should go for this look (the slick hair, with the "dirty" man mustache, no socks and to top it off a manly linen scarf).


Here is a picture of me and the baby. I am 25 weeks pregnant right here :-)


We also decided to take a day trip to Miami. We were so happy we did, we had such a fabulous time. We visited the beach, downtown, South Beach, the Art Deco district, and the boardwalk. We did a little shopping, had a lot of fun, and even ate a very nice dinner right on the boardwalk (we even saw MTV filming the Jersey Boys...or we assume that is who they were, we don't watch the show, but have heard of them).

(Jeremy was not too thrilled I made him take this pic.. hehe)


Here we are on Miami Beach

Gram's Big Birthday Weekend!!!

Kaytlin's Gram (Jeremy's Mom) had a "big" birthday this year. We had originally planned on giving her a party, but after chatting all about it, we found out that she did not want the party instead just a weekend away with family, so that is what we did. We all enjoy the Riverwalk, so we headed to San Antonio for the weekend. We had a fabulous time. Happy Birthday GRAM!


Here we are, walking back to our hotel, after having dinner at the Little Rhein Steakhouse on the Riverwalk. If you have never eaten there before, you need to go. Growing up, my dad took us there several times, then Jeremy and I went back at our 1 year anniversary because I loved it so much, and now we were there for Gram's birthday; anyway, we hope to take Kaytlin and lil' sis as much as possible as they grow up.


The next day we were off to Sea World. Kaytlin LOVED it so much!





We even fed the dolphins. Kaytlin was not too sure about it at first, but then decided she really liked it.




(I will post more pics on a slide show later)

Lovin' Cousins!

Kaytlin LOVES to spend time with cousin's, so at then end of April, cousin Ava came and spent several days with us, then we went up to Dallas and spent some time with them.



While in Dallas, we even got to watch our other cousin, Elysse, compete in a horse show. She was amazing! She won almost every competition she was signed up for. Way to go Elysse!!!

Happy Birthday Leila!!!

We have a very sweet and loving friend from our music class that we just adore, Miss Leila (and her momma Melissa). She was so sweet to invite us to her birthday party, at Little Gym and K just LOVED it. To be honest, I was wondering what K&I would do next year not only for her birthday but for her and I to hang out and just her and I do together (since lil' sis will be here late August), and since she loved Little Gym so much, I was convinced that is what we are doing :-) So.... Little Gym, watch out!!! K will be on her way to you soon! Here she is enjoying her little self.


WOW, Kaytlin, Look at you!!!



Look at ME, mommy!



I'm a natural!


FUN!!


Weeeeeeee!



Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy... I love this place!

Easter 2010

This Easter we headed down South to spend some time with my family. Kaytlin had a fabulous time hanging out with her cousin's. In fact, she became Jacey's (her oldest, girl cousin) shadow. Everything Jacey did, Kaytlin thought was so wonderful and wanted to do it as well. It was cute and so sweet. I don't think Jacey minded it too much either, she is such a perfect big cousin. After church, they had an Easter Egg Hunt (at the church), so K got to join in those festivities. She caught on quite quickly to hunting for eggs and really enjoyed it!

Kaytlin and G-Pa (or as she calls him, Pa Pa)


After all the fun we had down south, we headed back to H-town, where Gram and Granddad had planned another egg hunt for her.




Here are more pics. I was trying to save time downloading AND space on the site :-)

Kaytlin really liked the BIG eggs, and was wondering what bunny laid those... she did not know or care, but she sure did like them!

Princess #2

Well, here are the pics of our second little princess that were promised so long ago!





So Far...

- NO name... we honestly just cannot decide. We do have a list, so that is a plus and we are narrowing it down slowly, so hopefully soon, she will have a name. At this point we are calling her Deuce, and Princess #2.

- We have her bedding. This was hard for me. I really wanted to do a hot pink and black room, but I could not find anything that I was crazy about for a reasonable price. Finally, we decided to leave the furniture we had bought K in the nursery (the crib converts so it was meant to follow her through to whenever it wore out), and then we bought K new furniture (the furniture we had actually found for the new baby). I honestly cried through this process (I know probably hormones), but it was hard for me. I had imagined K would always have that furniture, and I do not want Princess #2 to think she will always get hand me downs, but I knew if I wanted to be a good servants of the money the Lord has provided us with I could not buy the $800 bedding I wanted just so she could have a pink and black room. Anyway, we ended up liking and buying some bedding. I am determined to make her nursery look as different as possible to K's even though the colors are similar (K's was mainly pale pink and white, with brown touches here and there), this one is cream, and a mauve pink with brown.

-K, is getting ready for lil' sissy as well. She constantly comes to my tummy and kisses and kisses it. I think she will make the most wonderful big sister. She is soooo loving, helpful and adores having others around (especially babies), so I cannot wait for them to meet!
