Making a funny face while he eats at Pier 19...he loved the boat kid's meal!

Last Tuesday, Landon and I headed to Port Isabel to meet our sweet little niece/cousin Rylen Ann, Ryan and Lauren's little girl. She is such a cutie. We stayed at my parent's house and enjoyed our time at the beach, in the pool, eating great food, fishing and relaxing!

Tammy educating herself on San Antonio landscaping...sorry I am no help!

Brian's family came down for a week and we stayed at a house on Lake McQueeney...fantastic views and a great time. We loved being able to take the boat out any time, chillin' on the deck above the boat lift, eating scrumptious food, getting caught up on stories, etc. Landon really enjoyed getting to know Cousin Elli. They made each other laugh many times and they even kept each other company on our Outlet Mall trip. It was nice just being together and having a relaxing time with the family.
**Boat pictures coming soon!

Botanical Gardens

Having a BLAST in the log cabin!

Fun times with some other kids at the gardens

Love how this picture shows his long lashes :)

Just being curious...

Happy Boy!

We went to the gardens yesterday and Landon thoroughly enjoyed himself! He loved, running around, being silly with other kiddos, feeding the ducks, fish and turtles and seeing all the sights. They had a jazz band playing so he even got to dance and drink some watermelon juice!

Brian's sister and her family came to San Antonio to house shop this past week so we got to visit with them several times! We are so excited that they will be living so close and we will get to see each other LOTS. :) Landon and Elliana were so sweet together. Landon loved hugging Elli and Elli was all smiles watching Landon. Had a great time with you all and can't wait until June!

Texas State Aquarium







Brian, Landon and I went to Port Aransas to celebrate 7 years of wedded bliss! :) We had a great time on the beach and ate at some awesome places...our favs. - Castaway's serves some juicy burgers and Beulah's was fantastic as usual. Landon was such a trooper during our "Anniversary Meal"...we did not get seated until 8:30 and left close to 10 and he was a perfect gentleman through the entire meal! Sunday, we stopped by the Texas State Aquarium and Landon really enjoyed that. Fish are his all time favorite thing in the world so he got to see LOTS of them there and he also enjoyed the sea turtles, dolphin and otters.

Landon spraying himself with water at the museum...he LOVES to do this!

We had a very busy and exciting week. We started off by going to J&R Gymnastics on Monday morning for playnastics. Landon loves the foam pit and long trampoline! Wednesday we met friends at the park and the boys enjoyed throwing rocks in the river and playing on the playscape. Friday my cousin Mary Ann and her son, Rowan, came into town and we got to see their dog's new puppies and then we headed to the Children's Museum.
