5 YEARS!

Jeffrey & I had a great 5 year anniversary! We spent the weekend in Fredericksburg & we will def be going back!

Our cabin was the Carriage House @ the Victorian Mansion

Private Hot Tub

I wanted to take all the pillows home with me! They were like 100 lbs each & sooo pretty!

For our Anniversary dinner we drove over to the Cotton Gin. A few people had told us to go there so we tried it out. It was AMAZING! Jeffrey had buffalo enchiladas which were to die for. I have had buffalo once before & I actually liked it..shocker I know!

I had a pecan crusted cherry glaze pork tenderloin..I normally don't eat pork but I LOVED it! Everything about the place was great.

Then we just walked around the restaurant which was all tied together with more cabins & a patio with live music. It was beautiful over there around sunset :)

On Saturday we drove over to Luckenbach! Def not much to this lil place. I was expecting more even tho most people told us "there's not much to that lil place!!"

But I had a good time anyway! We got T-shirts in the old Post Office that is now a general store.. had to have a beer as well or things just wouldn't have been right..

..peeked in the dancehall- I'd love to go dancin in there..

..& then here comes this guy..

no your not crazy, he was riding a Longhorn..only in Texas!

We came back & took another stroll down Main Street. I could've done that all day long :)

Just an alley leading to more parking off Main.

After we ate an appetizer at Spring Creek & had dinner at Auslander Biergarten we went over to a place called Hondo's. A lot different (& better) than our old Hondo's! They had live music as well & everyone was just having a great time!

On our way back home we had to stop at Storm's (a burger place) in Lampassas. Jeffrey & his fam ate here alot when he was little so I had to see what all the buzz was about. Let's just say they had the BEST fries ever!

We had a wonderful 5 year Anniversary~ here's to many many more!!

Barbie Jeep

Miss Thang got a new Barbie Jeep from PawPaw & Gi last weekend! Dylan & Emily have 4-wheelers at the deer lease & Kinley loves them so she had to get one of her own. She picked this one out..I think bc its got its own working radio to jam to :)

I think she likes it..

Daddy's car photography... hahaha!

Thanks PawPaw & Gi!

Memorial Day Weekend BBQ

We had a family BBQ at our house over Memorial Day weekend. It was nice getting to see Michelle & Patrick whom we only see on Thanksgiving normally! They flew in from Colorado for a few days so we had to get together while we could! Sara, Brandon & Mark came in from DFW & of course our gang was all here :)

Patrick & Mark

Emily ~ she's not as innocent as she looks folks!

I just have to get this picture framed :)

Patrick playin with the kids!

Michelle & Patrick

Hangin out!

Byron..he's really just a big kid!

Way to end the night, kids!

Michelle, Patrick, Sara & Brandon.. thanks so much for coming to the BBQ! I know we are all so busy but it was nice getting together even for a few hours!

Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day Weekend!! Continue to pray for our troops as well :)

9 years

I know I have already done a Blast From the Past post but I just have to post more pictures from High School bc this month marks 9 YEARS that we have been out of school. I seriously can't believe next year is our 10 year reunion. I remember thinking our reunion would be SO far away when I was still in school and that I probably would NOT attend. It went by faster than I ever thought possible!!

But I have to say~thanks to Facebook I will attend the reunion next year! Sounds silly but I have talked to so many classmates on there that I didn't even talk to in school. So I think that makes it not so weird. I'm actually looking forward to it!

So many things have happened in these past 9 years. We started dating 11 YEARS ago this July & we got married 5 years ago in June. I had Kinley 2 1/2 years ago... where does the time go!?

We have so many memories from high school~it's where it all began! Plenty of bad ones but lets focus on the good here :)

Corrigan~junior year

South Padre~I think the summer before our Senior year.

Oh boy, Homecoming 1999

Junior Prom.. Me & Cammy

Senior Prom

The boys at Graduation.. Alex, Jeffrey & Chris

Our Senior Trip~ we took a cruise to Mexico

Snorkling at Xcaret..uh coldest water Ive EVER been in! I don't know how we were all still smiling!

Makin Plans

We have one BUSY year ahead of us! I know I couldn't be more excited tho :)

We LOVE to travel. I wish I could just quit work & travel everywhere!!

I guess we can look forward to that during retirement tho.. 30 yrs from now!

Anyway, here is the lineup:

For our 5th anniversary on June 4th we are heading down to Fredericksberg for some wine tastings & just time to relax. We are staying in a really cute & stylish cabin for 2 nights.

Since the next trip after Fredericksberg will be our first trip leaving Kinley for 5 nights..we are taking her to Sea World for some FUN before we leave. I think she's going to love it!!

After Sea World (& still in June) we are headed to D.C.

I have a conference for work there so we are just making a vacation out of it! The in-laws are on board with us so after my 2 days of conferences we are just going sight seeing & doing whatever we want to do! Jeffrey & I went for our 8th grade trip with school- which was pretty cool but we still didn't appreciate it all like we do now.

In August we are going to VEGAS with some of our friends! We're staying at the Planet Hollywood (which I thought was a great location for a group of friends!)

We got an outrageously good deal on our 3 night trip so we just couldn't pass it up!

Last time we were there, I won $100 on penny slots & $150 on the Wheel of Fortune slot machine!

And now to the big vacation we REALLY can't wait for..

We are cruising on the Carnival Conquest in April 2011. We are going back to Atlantis (where we honeymooned), to Freeport Bahamas & then over to Key West! We booked an awesome room which we got at another good deal on since we booked so early! Cammy & Leon will be joining us & they actually got a room next to us :) This should be FUN!!!

Anyone else have any big plans coming up? I'd love to hear since we are always looking for something different/new to do with Kinley!

Splish Splash!

Kinley got to enjoy her little pool for a few minutes yesterday & she had a blast!

First time this year to suit up & enjoy some sun :)

I say a few minutes because it clouded up all the sudden & got real dark. So we packed it up & came back inside lol!

She was such a cutie though & loved her new swimsuit!

I just LOVE this picture...

There's her real smile :)

Splish splash!!

I had to get in on the action too...

Can't wait for more sunny days ahead!
