New Ride

This past weekend I got car fever REALLY bad!! We were driving down the road, passed a car lot (mind you I pass this everyday on my work to work SEVERAL car lots) and told Brett Im ready for a new car. He looked at me like I was crazy, so I kept giving him a hard time!

That evening we actually started looking together, to my surprise! I didn't have him convinced that we needed a new car but he said it wouldn't hurt to look. We found a lot of SUV's we liked and would love to have!

Sunday we went to test drive a 4 runner and holy cow i felt like i was driving a bus! I mean I sat up way too high, I didn't like the way it drove, and then I got bummed. I mean this whole time all i thought I wanted a 4runner and now I hated it :( We looked around at the lot and I didn't see anything else I liked that was within our budget & didn't have a lot of mileage on it.

So back to the drawing board we went. We looked and looked some more and of course found lots of other cars. I had it narrowed down to a highlander and pathfinder. I ♥ toyotas and I didn't really want to stray from their line because I know they are wonderful cars, can go on A TON of milage and the resale is AMAZING on them no matter how many miles it has!!! I didn't know much about pathfinders, but this one was fully loaded and had my beloved sun roof. I was in a bind but we finally made our decision................

TADA we went the highlander and IM in love!!!

Waterpark

We had been telling the girls we were going to take them to the waterpark Saturday, so off we went! We picked our niece up on the way so she could have fun with us too! We got to the park around 1:30 and it was CROWDED!!! The girls jumped right on in and swam their little ♥ out! Ashlyn was a fan of the water this time and we couldn't get her out!!! She splished and splashed and laughed the entire time!!! We stayed for about 3 hours and headed home.

Fathers Day

For Father's Day we decided we would spoil my hubby the entire weekend!

Friday- we went to dinner and then took him shopping for some new clothes!

Saturday- we took the girls to the local waterpark and let them swim the day away! For dinner that night I surprised him and took him to a local Japenese steakhouse! We ♥ this place! We always sit at the hibachi grill and they cook the food right in front of you. It was DELICIOUS!

Sunday- We woke up that morning and we cooked Brett breakfast! We made eggs, bacon & biscuits for him! I even made his favorite type, Overeasy, which in my opinion are hard lol I always bust atleast one! For lunch we took him to Poppa Rollo's then we made out rounds to all the dad's in our lives!

Brett,

You are such an AMAZING father to our 2 girls. I could not even imgaine life without you. You are defintley our rock in this life. Without you I would not have the 2 most amazing girls in the entire world. I love how they look at you and how you interact with them! Audree & Ashlyn love you more than you will ever know!!!

Port Aransas- Day 5

::SIGH:: I was so sad that it was our last day in Port A. We woke up around 9 and got everything loaded up. I went out on the balcony and took everything in before we left. I was ready to go home and get bak to our house and little life, but was was sad at the same time. I loved not having a care in the world and just kicking back and relaxing ALL DAY LONG!!!

We left @ 11 as that was check out tome/ We stopped at a shop and got some last minute souvnirs and we headed to the ferry. We waited in line for about 30 minutes before we actually got onto the ferry. After that it was smooth

The girls slept about halfway home and so did I.

Port Aransas- Day 4

We started our day out bright and early at the beach. We pitched our umbrella, pulled out all of our beach toys and played played played! Ashlyn had sand all over her face and just laughed and laughed. Audree got brave and was even going into the water (she was scared at first). We made sandcastles (they weren't too grand lol), buried Brett in the sand, jumped in the waves and just overall had a grand ol time!

After the beach we headed back up to the pool. Ashlyn was soooo tired so I rocked her to sleep and she took a nap by the pool on her floatie. IT gave us a chance to swim with Audree by ourselves which she ♥ ed! We swam for about 3 hours before heading in to get washed up!







That evening Brett, my dad and stepmother went bay fishing on a boat. I decided to stay at the condo with the girls and clean up! They caught several sharks and catfish but they made them throw the catfish back because supposedly they were poisonous! The girls & I went to bed pretty early that night as we were pooped!!

Port Aransas- Day 3

Today we spent the day pretty much just sight seeing. We woke up, got dressed and headed into town. We did some shopping at local stores and then went and rented a golf kart to go touring the city on. Let me tell you that was soooo much fun!!

Around 7 went on a sunset dolphin cruise! It was absolutley GORGEOUS!! The guides told us the story about the Aransas Pass lighthouse. We also learned about a ship that sunk during WW2 that is located in the channel!

The captain threw out net and we ended up catching sting rays, fish and a few crabs! They brought them on the deck so we could all look at them. They removed the stingers from the sting rays so we could all hold them. I was too much of a weenie to hold them but Brett, my dad and stepmom did.

After the mini fishing trip we headed over to see dolphins! We saw TONS of them and they were sooooo pretty! I have loved dolphins ever since I was a little girl. We went swimming with the dolphins in Mexico I was in heaven! I ran back in forth from the sides of the boat to make sure I was seeing all of them I could! They were so beautiful and I could have sat out there for HOURS wathcing them.
