Fisher Island Fishing Trip

Matt and I were invited to go on a fishing trip with some friends. It ended up being way more than just a fishing trip!! Matt's aunt and uncle picked us up at the Ft. Lauderdale airport and took us to the fairy. We stayed aboard the boat, which was docked at Fisher Island, just off the coast of Miami! It was wonderful!! We enjoyed drinks on the white sandy beaches, fished for sailfish, snorkeled, ate a lot, toured South Beach, and sunned!! Thanks so much to our parents for keeping the kiddos!

Our captain's brother caught this during our last day of fishing. We met their boat on the way into the dock and got to see what they had been working to reel in all day. It was on the news later that night. AMAZING! JAWS!

We caught and released two sailfish so we got to hang the flags upside down!! And, it is good luck to go swimming at the dock after you catch your first sailfish...so the guys voluntarily jumped in for their 'lucky' swim!!

THE LAKE

We love the water!! Taylor is doing so well swimming and Jordan has been a trooper in this incredible heat! We've enjoyed spending some time at Lake Conroe with Nana and Papa.

Memorial Day at Windy Hill

For Memorial Day Matt and I took the girls to Gruene to see some friends at Windy Hill! We enjoyed sitting in the river, eating at the Gristmill, and swimming! It was our first out of town trip with both girls and everyone was wonderful! Taylor LOVED the river and it was so pretty all weekend. Thank you Sutton Family for a great time!!

Ironman Texas and Lake Conroe

A few weekends ago we decided to go cheer on the ironman participants. It was very neat!! We watched the bike portion of the race from Fish Creek Thoroughfare and then went home, had naps, ate lunch, and went down to Market Street to watch the finish! Taylor loved it. We got there in time to see the first finisher and a few more after that. I can't wait for The Woodlands Marathon next March and the Ironman Texas next year. I think I've decided to volunteer for the races :)!! Please don't be distracted by Taylor's orange socks. Her Daddy said she really wanted to wear them, so he let her!

Sunday we went to Lake Conroe with my parents and my brother and his girlfriend. It was HOT, but so much fun! This was Jordan's first trip to the lake!

Mother's Day!

Mother's Day was wonderful! I slept in a bit, had a wonderful breakfast, then we headed over to my mom's house for lunch! It was a much needed relaxing day! I'm so lucky to be the mommy to two great little girls! As tired as I get sometimes, I wouldn't change anything!! I've enjoyed watching the grow, change, learn, play, and become such sweet little girls! I'm one lucky girl myself!

Happy Mother's Day to the women in my life! I hope my grandmothers, grandmother-in-law, mom, mother-in-law, aunts, cousins, sister, sister-in-laws, and friends had a wonderful Mother's Day too!!
