Kim told me I need to update this. I don't have much to talk about really, I mainly just wanted to put some pictures up. I think that will be the whole point of this post... pictures.

Father's Day 2009

Kellie's 'going away party' on 6/20/09 Love this! He was a little unsure of the dogs... Luckily he warmed up to them a bit... This picture might just be one of my all-time favorites of him

It's been awhile.

Well, I figured I should probably update my blog a bit. I've kind of been neglecting it. Lots has happened in the past month or so. Summer is officially here and I think I have a little fish on my hands. Garrett has been swimming so much! He absolutely loves it! He just splashes and kicks, he doesn't seem to care how much water gets into his eyes. I'll post the only video I have of him in the water below, it doesn't really show much, but you can see how much he really does enjoy it. I'll go ahead and apologize for the poor camera operating. I don't know why I turned it sideways.


This was taken 6/5/09 in the lazy river at the Hyatt Regency Resort in San Antonio.


And this is a video of him hanging out with all of us women while we were talking, a.k.a. gossiping ;) on our trip. Taken on 6/6/09.


Last video, promise. :) This was him eating a french fry or 2 on 6/6/09. P.S. ~ it wasn't so dark until I loaded it on here, sorry.


We had so much fun on the trip! We(me, Amber, Kim, Granny, Gwyneth and Garrett) left Thursday morning. We took a 12 passenger van, which was awesome because we had so much room. We stopped and had lunch at Cracker Barrel on the way. It only took us 7 hrs. to get there, haha. It was fun though! Kim had some pretty fun little games. She knows how to keep everyone entertained, she's a first grade teacher so I guess this is to be expected. When we got there we went and scoped out the resort a bit and then went to dinner. It was a pretty low-key night. I will say that I absolutely LOVED their beds and all of the pillows on it! I slept so good. It was awesome not having any dogs laying in between my legs. Gwyneth slept with me 2 of the nights, but that's ok, she's not a bedhog like Cole. Saturday morning I got up and went to the work-out room and ran 2 miles on the treadmill. It was so nice to get up early and walk there in the morning, hardly anyone was outside and it was so peaceful. Then we went and found a spot for the day and set up camp. We pretty much just swam, ate, and talked all day. We went to Olive Garden for dinner that night and then went back to the resort and watched a little of HSM3 out on the lawn. That was neat. Saturday morning I got up at 6:30 and went and did the 2 miles on the treadmill again and then Amber and I went to the spa and I got a swedish massage and she got a mani/pedi. That was SO nice! It was a great spa and one of the best massages I've had. Then we met up with Kim who was already at the lazy river and pretty much had a repeat of the first day. Well except Sara, Cindy and Avery met up with us. It was so nice not to have any obligations, we literally just hung out. That night we just stayed in and me, Amber, Kim and Granny ordered pizza and had a good ol' time in the room. I won't go into detail, but it might be one of the most memorable nights ever. One word sums it up... HILARIOUS! Oh, and I can't forget the raccoons. I never saw them, but Amber must have been like a magnet to them. I think it was 2 nights in a row that she had a raccoon just come waltzing up to the patio while she was outside. It was probably the same one, but pretty funny none the less. On Sunday we pretty much just got packed up to go and headed home. We made a stop to the outlets in San Marcos. That was a little too fun! Oh, and we stopped at the Czech Stop on the way home. Good thing that place is so far because I would be like 500 lbs. if it were closer. All in all it was a great trip and I hope we get to do it again next year!

Some pictures from the trip.


Garrett also went to Chuck E. Cheese for the first time. He went for my cousin's son's birthday. I think he had a good time. He couldn't keep his eyes off of Chuck E. Cheese.
