School has started!

Well its the time again, SCHOOL!
So Bittersweet:(
 
 

We also celebrated Hannah's 4th Birthday!!
 
She got her ears pierced and is convinced that since she turned 4, she has really grown and got bigger!
 And to wrap up Summer with a huge Bang, Chuck and BB and Alan our friend caught 130 sand bass fish. They were only allowed to keep 25 a piece, so we will need to have a huge fish fry!  YumYum!

Happy 14th Anniversary - St. Thomas, VI

Happy Anniversary to ME!

Wow, Chuck and I were able to get away(which is hard with 3 girls) with some friends and go to St. Thomas on the Virgin Islands.  For our first big vacation and get away, it was amazing!  We are pretty easy people to please, seeing that the only beaches we have ever been to is the Texas coast, we were in Awe of the Beauty that actually exist!



 The water was a color that I had never seen.... so blue and pristine!
 This was at our resort...... we had our best friends, Lori & Stephen, Lori's brother Byron and his girlfriend Shari and then some friends of ours from Peaster, Kieth and Darla.  You would think with four couples, and 8 people that we would have some conflict with something or someone, but we had the best time EVER!  We called ourselves the Super 8!

One day we Ferried over to another Island, St. John.  It was so beautiful... we went to Truck Bay which is known for its snorkeling and clear waters.  It was so fun!

 Another day we all took a boat ride to a place called Christmas Cove, thought to be where Christopher Columbus had sailed into on Christmas day (how they know that, IDK) but we were sold! LOL  We were also able to snorkel and check it out.   I have been in many boats, but had never sailed! That was neat!




There were many beaches to visit and we did just that!

 And of coarse we had our own show going on while my husband always has to catch the wildlife where ever we go! 

"Here Honey, here's your Anniversary Gift, its a diamond ring in the middle of this Sea Urchin (porcupine of the Sea) you just have to dig for it!"  NOT!

He had more fun snorkeling and finding all the new creatures under water!
 Lori and I at the resort!
 I have to leave you with the IGUANA!
They were everywhere and crazy!
We had an amazing time, it only took 14 years for us to do something like this, and I imagine it will be another 14 years until it happens again..... with 3 girls, we have graduations, proms, cars, college, weddings and braces!

Until next time Caribbean Vacation............

Summer '12

Wow! We have been busy playing all summer.......

Lots of things have happened and going on.

First things first, we got a new member to our family..... meet Dirk! (Yes after Dirk Nowitzki)  After having to get rid of our indoor cats last spring because of Chuck's allergies, the girls have been wanting to get an outdoor cat and so we got one, thanks to my brother Andy & Angel and the boys!! Thanks guys!

We are in Love!

We have been visiting some friends and hanging out with Ms. Faith!
Taking a lot of naps in the car.......

Lots of boating and hanging out at the Lake and Chillin'



 Lots of Fishing

 And of coarse eating lots of ICE CREAM!!!
 Us adults prefer the late night lake rides to eat dinner on the Lake ( without the kids)!!
Its a little quite and really nice!
 Lots of singing in the car and just being crazy!!
 And our favorite thing is to chill in the evenings on the patio and be a family:)))))
 I also had a lot of fun buying the girls some furniture and repainting them.  I really enjoyed that, and thinking about doing that and selling them.


 And the girls loved it once I was finished!
And this about wraps up how all this makes us feel at the end of the day!!!!

Tired!
