13th Wedding Anniversary August 2012

Also in August - we celebrated 13 years of marriage.  We love to just get away - even if its in our same town, and stay at a nice hotel, dress up and eat at nice restaurants!  It's a fun little staycation.  We had been hearing about this hotel and decided to give it a try - it did not disappoint!

Before dinner at Bob's Steakhouse

Our amazing room!

The view from our room!

Out by the pool - I love how you can see Dallas's iconic Reunion Tower or "The Ball" as some know it from here!

The Omni has this AMAZING Farm to Market restaurant with an incredible buffet - some of the best food EVER!!!

It was a blast, very romantic and a nice little relaxing getaway from regular everyday life!  Can't believe it has been 13...coming up on 14 years!

Back on Track

 Well its been awhile my blogging friends.  It is summer here in Texas and I am determined to get back on track with this blog.  Since I haven't posted anything since...well...last July (gasp!) I am going to go back a little in time and blog about some things that have happened in our lives over the last 11 months:)  Month by month...a little at a time will suffice, so check back and see what you've been missing:)!!!

Last August

Wait, rewind to Christmas 2011 - Jae, my sister, gave Kaden and Kinsley passes and money to use toward the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History...we didn't make it until August, and I'm glad we waited because they had this hilarious exhibit called Grossology that was all about the grossest parts of our bodies and how they function - pretty entertaining:)  We laughed all day!!!  Afterwards we walked around the rest of the museum - if you've never been and you are visiting Texas soon with little ones - its a must - awesome place!!!

Here we are entering the mouth entrance.  And inside the nose - which simulated a sneeze, blowing air and all:)

After the exhibit at the rest of the museum - a GIANT lite brite:)

And last but not least...Fun with Shadows!

Also in August, my sister, Jayna and family came to see my sis Jae's new baby Cash, and they spent a few fun filled days here.  This is at NRH20 - an amazing water park by our house!

We also visited the Chihuly exhibit at the Arboretum - such a gorgeous place and the exhibit was AMAZING - Chihuly is one of my favorite artists!

Here's my favorite glass blown sculpture by Chihuly! - Mezmorizing!

And what would a trip to the Arboretum be without a splash in the fountains?
