South Padre

In late May we went to San Antonio to see Lauren and Scott graduate from medical school. I am so proud of these two. They began their residency in OKC in July.

From there our whole family went down to South Padre for a few days of vacation. I did not realize how far south we were going. It was a LONG trip (and the trip back to College Station was even worse!)

Once we arrived we had a blast. Our condo was right on the beach and had it's own pool. We all had fun - especially Owen. He loved the pool and the waves. Unfortunately water and our camera don't mix, so I only got shots of him on the beach. :-)

We did get some good family shots that week.

We even got one of the whole family. It had been too long since our whole group was able to get together. I'm glad we were able to spend some time together this summer!

Spring has Sprung

Since we're suffering through what feels like the 100th day of over 100 degree temperatures, it's high time I posted the rest of our spring photos.

Here's my big boy on his 14 month birthday. Since he's not changing as much month to month, this will probably be the last surfer dude pic for a while.

And here are some pictures that I know will hugely embarrass him when he gets older, but it's my job as his mamma. :-)

Just so you know, our child doesn't typically walk around the back yard butt naked, but the bottom in question had a terrible diaper rash and we were letting things air out a little.

Owen's second Easter was fun. The Easter bunny brought him lots of goodies. He loved the eggs and the watering can his Nana gave him. He also looked very handsome in the outfit his Mimi sent him.

Mother's Day was pretty uneventful. Owen was suffering from yet another of his many ear infections and his medicine made him sick. Mamma got to wake up to a blow out in his crib, and his pants had to be changed several times before the day was out. It was also Eric and my 6th anniversary on Saturday. My boys got me flowers and a bird bath - very thoughtful!

Here's the only attempt we made at photos that weekend. We were all pretty tired, but it was a fun day.

Doesn't Owen look so much like his Daddy? He looks more and more like him each month!

Owen and his favorite pastime - helping to water the yard.
