Back from Port A!

We had a great trip to Port A!! We went with both sets of my grandparents (Campbell's great grandparents), my parents, my sister and her husband Kyle, and then Matt's mom, sister Sara and Channing came down Saturday for the day. We stayed at Port Royal, which is where we stayed in October 2007 for my sister's wedding. The rooms are condos that people own, so they are each decorated differently. They come in 1, 2, or 3 bedroom setups with kitchen and living area. We took all of our own food, so we never ate out once while we were there. They have a GREAT pool with 3 hot tubs and some slides, but we ended up spending most of our days at the beach since that's something we don't get to do that often. The weather was great, and the beach wasn't crowded at all. You'd be surprised to see it, but there isn't any debris from the storm and all the boardwalks are already repaired. You wouldn't know that a bad storm had even come through recently.

Campbell LOVED the beach! She wasn't afraid of the water one bit! Probably her favorite things to do were to chase and feed the seagulls and play with her buckets in the sand and water. Kyle and Christy brought their Rodeo to the beach each day so that we could setup a tailgate party with music. They even setup a UT tent and a tarp so that we had some shade. We did this Thursday, Friday and Saturday and stayed at the beach all day. It was great! Saturday they set a wedding up right next to our car!! It was hilarious, because we all had front row seats! You can see in one of the pictures how close we were to the wedding. I've posted some pictures of highlights from the trip below, but of course I took many many more!





















































































































































































I love this pictures of Campbell and Channing getting ready to go to the beach with their boogie boards!

Port Aransas

Well, we'll be on our way down to Port Aransas in just a couple hours! We stayed at Port Royal in Port A last October for my sister's wedding. We had such a great time with all the family down there that we decided to go again this year! We'll be meeting both of my sets of grandparents, my parents, and my sister and her husband Kyle. We're hopeful to see Gigi, Sassy, and Channing on Saturday too! Please pray for our safe travels as we make the 8ish hour drive today and coming home Sunday. I'm sure there will be lots of pictures to come!! Stay tuned!!

I love the Ped Egg!

Now I know I read about this on Lolly and Janelle's blog at some point in time, and I've seen it on TV many times, but I had never actually tried one....sorry, I'm sure that was a run-on sentence of some kind! While checking out at Bed Bath and Beyond this past weekend, I was a sucker for all the gadgets that they have right there by the register. My sister and I both bought a Ped Egg finally! I'm telling you people it works GREAT! I love it! I have used it while sitting next to the tub while Campbell takes a bath. It really does make your feet so smooth!! Anyways, for those of you that don't have one, you should put it on your Christmas list!! They are $9.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond, and of course you can take in your 20% off coupon....I know we all have drawer-fulls of those! I even got the pink one with the Breast Cancer Awareness pink ribbon. Matt hasn't tried it yet, but I know he will love it too!! Is that gross to share a Ped Egg with your husband??? Maybe I need to get him one too. I hope you all get one!! They are awesome!

The Prettiest Dallas Cowboy


Sick Little Girl

Poor Campbell has had a stomach bug or something Friday and Saturday. She threw up quite a few times this weekend. She didn't seem to keep anything down, so she wasn't eating much. In attempts to make sure she was staying hydrated, we offered her a strawberry popsicle and jello .... she loved making a mess with those! This was taken after her second bath on Saturday around 3:00. We were almost to my grandparents when she threw up in the car and we turned around to come home.


Other Random San Diego Pics

This one is cute! She immediately found the phone that she was so excited she could reach! Luckily, we had two room phones, so we just unplugged this one for the weekend so she could play with it. She made lots of phone calls while we were in San Diego.



I had to take this picture in the car, because I thought she looked just like that little boy Mikey in the movie Look Who's Talking!



Talking on the phone AGAIN!



BUSTED! Yes, I caught her watching TV with her hand IN HER PANTS!


I just thought this one was sweet! She's having breakfast in bed.

This one was funny of her trying to go to sleep with her arm hanging out of the crib.

SOLD!!!

I know many of you are saddened today, because you missed out on such a great STEAL. Yes, we sold the Saturn last night!! It was our first interested buyer, and we jumped on his offer of $700!! We are just glad to be done with it, and we are honestly very happy to have gotten that much. I just thought I would update all of you since I know you were all about to pick up the phone to call us to make an offer ... ha ha!
