Easter 2014

After a very long time away I thought I might post something!  Most of my updating these days is all done through Facebook so poor Blogspot kinda just got pushed aside.

We bought a beach house in Galveston Dec 2012 and we go down a lot if it's not rented.  We decided to spend Easter down there this year and had a lot of fun!

Brinson is getting big, almost done with Kindergarten and will be starting First Grade next year.  We are so very proud of her.

Dancing at Spring Recital

Brinson at the CAPA spring recital.  She worked very hard to be a Robot to Herbie Hanncock's "Rockit"  I added some other photos from the recital so you could see what it was all about.

Robot arms, look at the intensity on her face ;)

 Look at all the other robots, there were 2 sets of robots.....

We were all the in the front row and she was less than 20 feet from us, but with the bright lights she could not see us.....untill they started to walk out.

Isa's 3rd Birthday Party

We were in Austin today celebrating Isa's 3rd Birthday. The theme was a princess party!  That means, dress up, tea, cookies, crafts and birthday with a princess.  Brinson had a wonderful time as did all the girls. 

Dress up first

Then makeup and jewelry

Then pictures with the princess

Tea party!  Pink Lemonade, not real tea, c'mon folks!

Isa with Mom and Dad!

Yummm tea, I mean lemonade

Every Princess needs their own magic wand....right?

She was a very good princess, both of them.

Blow blow blow!!!

Cozumel 1/3

We just got a couple weeks ago from 11 days of paradise in Cozumel, Mexico.  We had a ton of fun, lots of sun, mojitos, diving, food,and not in that order!  I've finally got around to posting the pics!  We took over 1100 so it was a little time consuming.  Ned went diving almost everyday.  He's going to post them later.   It was a very low key vacation, although we did manage to rent a jeep for the day once, and go into town twice.  Lots of shopping!  One of the best experiences was the Tequila Tour.  It's a must see if you're going to Cozumel!!!!  It was phenomenal!   After the first day Brinson was darker than any of us!  It was very safe, we had no issues except for Ned getting his Oakley's and hat stolen off our upstairs porch and Meme got her Nike flip flops taken also.  I think it may have been an inside job lol.  All in all though, it was great and we love Cozumel and have missed it.  We'll be coming back here often but next time we will either stay at the Iberostar again or try a completely new hotel.  The Allegro was okay but they are so overworked and short staffed, it's very hard for them to keep up with the amount of visitors at the hotel.  For example, ONE bartender at the beach bar.....that equals lonnnnnnng lines.  No matter, we still love the Island!!!   Enjoy the pictures!
