Mexico 2014!! (Part One)

After moving from College Station to Montgomery, we took an incredible vacation with my family to Mexico!  It was Jackson's first big vacation and, of course, first trip out of the country!  Jackson had to get a passport (hilarious) and got to fly in an airplane!  He did pretty good…but I think he was a little excited! Haha!  The first part of the vacation with spent with my family in Cancun at the Westin Lagunamar!  It was an absolutely beautiful resort!!  It was located on the gorgeous beach, the pools were awesome, the food was delicious, and the rooms were perfect!

It was Jackson's first time at the beach…and oh boy, did he ever LOVE it!  He loved playing in the sand, swimming in the ocean, and taking long naps! :)

 First time in the sand!

 I mean…seriously, how cute?!?!

 Melt my heart…

 First time in the ocean!

    Hi sweet boy!

Nap time! :)

Jackson also LOVED swimming in the pool!  He loved the water, people watching, and floating around!  We brought this float with a canopy…which was perfect!!  

 Loving life!

 Soooo excited!

Can we stay forever?!

We also ate at some yummy restaurants!  The food was so delicious and Jackson was so patient during the meals…such an angel!

 Jackson was not quite sure of the mariachis!  Haha!

 A little distracted…

 Just chillin'!  (We forgot his umbrella stroller in TX, so we had to buy this one in Mexico…best purchase EVER!)

 Sleeping at the table! :)

Another amazing restaurant and atmosphere!

The boys played golf one day, we kept trying for another Christmas card option, and of course, the boys had to had another dip in the ocean…

 Ready to hit the links! 

 Love y'all! :)

 Headed out to the waves…

SOOO much fun! 

We had such an amazing time on this vacation!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH to my parents for such an awesome trip!!  We love y'all soooo much!! :)

Moving Day!

After our awesome lake trip, it's was time to move!  Kent started working with Denbury Resources this past December and has been commuting from College Station to the East side of Conroe ever since (about 1 1/2 hours each way).  The Company asked us to move closer to the oil field, so we did!  We were so lucky that our house in College Station sold in 2 1/2 days, but because it was so fast, we had to make a decision about the new house quickly as well!  We found a great area in Montgomery called Woodforest!  We found a beautiful home, made an offer, and they accepted!  So after almost 2 years in College Station, the moving truck came and shipped everything to Montgomery!  It was a crazy week or so with movers, trucks, and installers, etc.  But…we made it to the new house!  It's taken us a while to get settled in, but because of the help of our AMAZING family, we're about there...and really starting to love the new house and neighborhood!  We are ready and excited for this next chapter, new adventures, and special memories!!

 Packing up the house in College Station

 Had no idea that we had so much "stuff!" :)

Hello new house in Montgomery!!

Jackson loved playing in the packing paper!  He was such a big "help!" :)

 Only minor incidents…like Kent falling through the roof from the attic…

One of the completed rooms! Yay!

Come visit us SOON! :)

Lake Trip 2014!

For the past several years, we have been doing a mini-vacation with some friends of ours!  We ALWAYS look forward to it and this year, we went to Lake Texoma!  Two of the couples that we usually travel with, unfortunately, couldn't make it this year, but Kent, Jackson, and I still went to the Lake with Benton, Laura, and Declan!  We had a blast!  The lake house was beautiful and we had an awesome time taking the boat out onto the lake.  Declan and Jackson had so much fun playing with each other…they're already best buddies! :)
