Surfside Beach

Miller and Jack took 2 trips to Surfside Beach this past week. We live about 30 minutes from the beach so I can't believe this is our first time taking the boys and summer is almost over!! My mom, Marsh, and my brother's girlfriend Ashley took the boys on Friday while I was at the doctor. They had so much fun and I was sad that I didn't get to go so after church on Sunday Charlie and I took them back!! Miller LOVED the sand and water. Jack tolerated it until nap time and then he was ready to LEAVE!! Ha Ha!! We plan on taking them back a few more times before summer is officially over!! Miller, Jack and Ashley playing in the sand and shells!

Miller liked the boogie board we borrowed from my cousin Blair!!

While we were enjoying the fun in the sun, Jack had a blow-out in his Little Swimmer Diaper!! YUCK!! What a mess!! Those things can hold a lot of water but not a lot of...

Eating a little sand!

Charlie and I went to Las Vegas several weekends ago to attend my friend Kim's wedding at The Mandalay Bay. We also took my brother along since he just turned 21!! We had lots of fun seeing old friends and seeing the sight of VEGAS!!

At the Wynn

Marshy and Me

We sat outside at the Parasol Down Bar @ The Wynn Hotel. It had this cool and beautiful water/light feature with music playing in the background. Then all of a sudden this GIGANTIC frog appeared on top of the screen!! He sang along to the music playing. It was SO cute!! Highly recommend seeing this at the Wynn!!

The Venetian Hotel

The Mirage

Outside Caesar's Palace

We took Marsh to the Eiffel Tower Restaurant in The Paris Hotel for a belated birthday dinner. It was so nice UNTIL a kid a few tables over threw up all over his table. You would think after having 2 kids AND being a teacher puke would not bother me but it kind of ruined my appetite!! Oh well the view was amazing!!

The Bellagio

Bellagio Water Show...BEAUTIFUL!!!

The Flamingo

Sad to leave...especially since we didn't win any money!! :-) But SO HAPPY to be back home to my babies!!

Happ 21st Birthday Marshy!!

My little brother turned 21 on July 17th. We had a little party at our house and then we went out to dinner at A Taste of Texas in Houston to celebrate his birthday and my parents belated 33rd wedding anniversary! Here are a few pictures from the two celebrations.

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!

My aunt and uncle got Marsh personalized A&M plates for his truck. This is just a sample of the real plates. It reads "DVM 14" (Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine and 2014 is his graduation date from Vet School) He was SUPER excited about this gift!!

Cousin Blair

This has nothing to do with any of the parties but look at Jack STANDING up in his crib!! He is growing TOO fast!!
