Happy July 2 and 4!

This past weekend we went to Matagorda, Tx, to spend some much needed time with Troy's family on the beach.

(be sure to click on the collages if you want to see them better. There are some fun pictures there. :)

Alaina entertained herself in the car on the way...

Saturday the 2nd of July was our 6th anniversary. Our day started with a fun time of golf with Larry and Cameron.
We then headed to the beach house and out on our anniversary date.

We ate at this awesome little restaurant on the bay. It was in a little house, had wonderful gourmet food and such a neat atmosphere. Our meal was amazing and it was a perfect time for us.
Then we headed out to the beach to play around for awhile.
We had quite a time taking silly pictures.

The next day we had a great time at the beach with the family. Alaina was gung ho for the beach immediately. She absolutely loved the water and had no fear. Audrey took some time warming up to it.


They both had some great time with Nana, Papa and Cameron.

By day 2 on the beach we were all ready to play. Audrey had so much fun with Uncle Jeremy, Daddy and Cylus. Mommy got her second day of sitting in the surf and reading...for a LONG time. It was awesome! We love the beach.

Then on the 4th more family came and we enjoyed the day together. Here are a few family pics from the 4th (remember we had been playing on the beach all day...we're a little beached out!)

The girls really enjoyed their time with cousins (even though Alaina is crying here - she really did enjoy it. really. And Elijah didn't want his picture taken, but he had a great time as well.)

What a perfect time of vacation for our family. Thank you Nana and Papa! We love you and we had such a great time with you all! Looking forward to next time.
