End of Summer, Beginning of School and a Birthday!

I took the kids on a summer road trip at the end of July. We headed to Sea World for a day, then went to Dallas the next day for the weekend and then to The Woodlands for a week. I thought it would be exhausting to travel all that way by myself but we had a great time. We were just missing Daddy!

Here is Emma waiting for Shamu! She LOVES going to Sea World.

Trying to keep RP cool in this hot weather with a frog togg.
Always our favorite, feeding the dolphins!
Emma loves to stay in hotels. She was so excited. RP on the other hand would only sleep if he was in the bed with me.
We know how to eat on the road! Had to get a Pappasitos fix in Austin on our way from San Antonio to Dallas.
We spent the weekend with my brother and his family. It was great to finally get to see their house and Emma LOVED playing with her cousins. Here they are doing some art!
We even drove out to Weatherford to visit friends of ours who used to live in Corpus. Emma looks like she should be a Haug child too! It was so great to see them!
Cousins at Jason's Deli
A special treat... a snowball before we hit the road to The Woodlands.
Emma (and cousins) attended VBS while we were in The Woodlands. They had a blast! Thinking of doing it again next year!
We always love to see Auntie Alicia!
We had great timing and were able to celebrate Nana's birthday at cheesecake factory!
RyanPaul zonked after swimming at Nan's house.
RyanPaul wasn't sure what to think of my cabbage patch doll!
Captain RP!
Someone loves being able to sit up in the bathtub!
My sweet baby girl started Pre-k two weeks ago! Here she is on the first day of school. She absolutely LOVES Pre-K. When I picked her up on the first day she was telling me about her day.... then she says "but I didn't learn to read today" ha. So cute she thinks it will happen in a day! :)
Emma in her back to school shirt later during the week.
Ryan turned 33 and we had friends over to celebrate! Here are the kids (and Kris) having fun in Emma's room!

All the little kids (minus RP) I LOVE this pic!

The birthday boy with his cake!
On Monday evening for his actual birthday, we cooked steak and artichokes. We had brownies with ice cream for dessert... all of Ryan's favorites. Is he really 33? Seems like yesterday we were sitting in senior English class meeting for the first time.
Here is Emma before school today. Friday is chapel day, so I try to send her in something cute. She wanted to wear this new dress I got her. My pretty girl!
I am sorry I am not on top of my blogging! Will try to be better but there are never enough hours in the day!
