July and Vacation

Just a cute picture after bath to start us off...


We took our first "family vacation" last month to San Antonio. Not our first trip mind you because Carter has already been on at least 10 trips and traveled to 3 different states.

This trip was our first one in a long time that did not have to do something with teenagers or dance! It was much needed and turned out great. Pleasant, well thought out by Bobby and with very minimal arguing! Ha! We spent the first night just eating dinner on the River Walk and the next day at Sea World. Carter is great in the stroller and got to ride the Merry Go Round while Bobby rode a couple of roller coasters. The next day we spent trying to get Carter to nap in a hotel room (always fun) and swimming in the hotel pool then walking the mall and riding the river walk boats which we had both seen a bunch but never done. Probably the highlight of the trip for me was going to the San Marcus outlets on the way to a students wedding in Austin and Bobby actually somewhat enjoying it (don't tell him I said that)! We NEVER shop together and I am a bit of a loner when it comes to shopping anyway most of the time. It was a great trip and I was thankful for that time.




Aunt Kirsten spend her Mondays and Tuesdays with us while she taught at the studio for me. She taught Carter to "high-five" and even let Carter drive her car to the pool!

July we also celebrated with my dear friend Stephanie Lee as she prepared for Baby Judson who actually arrived this morning! Carter is SUPER excited about a new friend in College Station!
