Little Elm Beach

We spent a warm afternoon at the Little Elm Beach at Lake Lewisville. Blake loved it, and mommy liked that the water was really warm. But then someone mentioned that there are "lake snakes" there...Yikes!

Our First Rodeo

YeeHaw! We decided to fully immerse ourselves in Texas culture as soon as possible. So when we googled things to do in Dallas this weekend, and a rodeo popped up we couldn't resist. 
It was very fun, and Blake really loved it. We learned a few things while there...boots are the appropriate footwear (not the sandals we were in), and we learned what "mutton busting" is. For those that don't know, it is a rodeo contest where children ride on the back on sheep for as long as possible. 
We also enjoyed the beer, popcorn, and pony rides!

Hey y'all! We moved!

Dallas or bust! After a few months of preparation, the big day is upon us... our one-way flight to Dallas, Texas. Eric has been given a great career opportunity in Dallas with his company and we are all excited about a new adventure.

Family Vacation in Cabo San Lucas

Thanks to a year of Eric's blood, sweat, and tears at work, he earned a week long family vacation bonus. We used it for a trip to Cabo! We stayed at the Dreams Resort which was beautiful, and very family friendly. The had many activities for kids, including nightly movies by the pool with popcorn. Which has lead to a very serious popcorn addiction for Blake. We enjoyed pool time everyday, swam with dolphins, and went to the beach. It was a wonderful week, and we made some great memories!

Party Time at the Petting Zoo!

We threw a great 2nd birthday party for the little man at Zoomar's Petting Zoo in San Juan Capistrano. We were blessed with a fun crowd of about 60 family and friends. The kids got to feed and pet the animals, enjoy a few pony rides, and ride a mini choo-choo train. We finished it off with an amazing train cake and cupcakes made by Grandma Linda. It was an awesome day!
