The rest of the Summer (part 1)..

I know I’ve been a terrible blogger. Hey, at least I’m posting this pregnancy..I didn’t even post about Caroline until after she was born. Here are pictures from the rest of our Summer.

Caroline rode in a 4th of July parade in Comfort, TX with her cousin and she loved it.


We went from the parade to Sea World for the 4th of July festivities..we won’t do that again! It was a complete mad house. I was starving but refused to stand in line for food for 1.5 hours. Caroline did have a blast at the Sesame Street dance party.

We watched the fireworks from the parking lot.

My pretty girl on the way to Galveston.

My Aunt and Uncle won a week at a bay house in Galveston in a church raffle and they invited everyone to come enjoy it with them. We had a blast. It was a gorgeous house with an elevator, outdoor kitchen, and access to a boat and jet skis. Yes, we swam in the nasty bay water.



Caroline and her third cousin Kaleigh had fun playing.

We stopped by Meme and Papa’s house on the way home (my grandparents).

Caroline did Summer dance again this year and they put on a mini-recital at the studio at the end of the Summer. Caroline did not understand why she didn’t get to wear makeup and go on the big stage.


I woke up on my 30th birthday to balloons and a sign from Mario and Caroline.

We had cake that night with my family.

We took a weekend trip to Fredericksburg so Mario could run with some of our friends in the BrAvery 5k, supporting research funding for Spinal Muscular Atrophy. One of Caroline’s friends has SMA and we are all hoping a cure can be found soon.

Mario finished 2nd in his age group and I think 8th overall. Caroline ran her first kids fun run.

We stopped in Luckenbach on the way home.
