Texas Trip 2013

This was a strange trip to Texas to say the least, but despite it all we ended up having a good time and did some fun things. I think you all know Bella ended up with pneumonia and we spent a lot of time in the urgent care and at Walmart picking up prescriptions.
 
Isabella had been sick for the week before we left for Texas. She never had a fever, but when we were landing she was crying so hard because her ears hurt super bad. Below were our pictures from Urgent Care - the top one from the day we took her. The bottom one from the follow up on Sunday. The first two days she was not allowed on her Horse and that broke her heart. It was quite an ordeal, especially since the Doctor forgot to mention that they turn into demon-children with the steroids.
 
 
 
Vincent got to drive the Tractor with Popi. I love their faces in the first picture.
 Just some silly pictures of my boy - he keeps us laughing!
 
 
We hung around a lot - playing Monopoly, x-box and on the computer.
FINALLY - Bella got to see Buck and boy was she a VERY HAPPY girl. She hugged Buck right away.


 
 
Uncle David was in State with the Mariners and we met him for lunch. Still not many pictures of Isabella because she was sick and not into me bugging her about photos. The photo of Vincent and Uncle David (his Godfather) is perfect! The photos of Vincent and Daddy are two of my favorites ever!

Perfect picture of my Brother and the 'Rents.

Sunday after Bella's doctor appointment we went to the Mariners/Rangers game. We had a blast and had perfect seats in the shade!


Love these photos of my Cowboy!

 Vincent got to sit on the Donkey (he loves that) and also go on a few rides with Cousin Kristyl's fiancĂ© Matt. He loves riding the Horses and think he might like to follow Sissy's footsteps. It is also very fun to take some rides on the Golf Cart.

One of the last days we had lunch with my Mom's Aunt Betty. She is my Grandpa Vincent's sister. Doesn't my Mom look SO MUCH like her!!?
 And our last day of riding.... Until next time Texas!

Back 2 School!!

We had a wonderful first day back to school! Bella fell asleep really early on the couch and Vincent got to sleep at a decent time. They were very excited to get up in the morning and start their new school year.



Traditional pictures before school.


Both Daddy and Aunt Donna got to join the fun! It was a very special day!

Super Fun Weekend!

Friday afternoon we headed to Popi and Grammy's. Popi came home early from work and after a yummy lunch, we all headed to Main Place Mall for some back to school shopping!! Bella picked out her backpack, lunch pail, water bottle and clothes at Justice (thank you Grammy and Popi !!!). After a little 'schooling' by my 8 year old when she said, "You are being really mean Mom...not everything has to match perfectly", I let her get the backpack she had her heart set on and a lunch pail that does not go at all. It is so hard to let go control. LOL!

The kids were over shopping and Popi took them to ride the train while Grammy and I shopped in Crazy 8. I found the most awesome deals and was so happy to get both Bella and Vincent more school clothes. After the mall, we headed to Target where Bella so happily picked out everything and crossed of her list! I remember being this happy when it was time to get school supplies - no lies, I am still giddy over office supplies!!!


Saturday afternoon we headed to Papa Joe and Grammy Alice's house where we had a yummy dinner celebrating Chris' Birthday! All pictures are on Grammy Nancy's phone. Grammy Alice made a wonderful dinner and their new house is beautiful! I am so happy for them!

Today we all met up again to celebrate Aunt Amy's 40th Birthday with brunch at Back Bay Bistro! It was delicious!! Since I couldn't hold the babies last time because I was sick, I hogged them today. Aunt Amy is such a beautiful Woman and Mother! I know she will have the best year ever watching those little babies grow! And the Cousins ROCK in their glasses.


Oh, and I finished an invitation job in there too...


Have a super blessed week my friends!
