Some of Summer in a Nut Shell

We have had such a crazy summer! The other day a girl from work told me that she was proud of me for taking so many vacations this summer! ahhhhh! I have taken alot more time off than normal but I am loving all the fun vacations and little short weekend trips we have done! Gabe and I on our way home from our 6 year anniversary weekend getaway, decided something is wrong with me .... we have driven more this summer than ever! But I guess life and driving gets better as our kids get older and not screaming the whole way! We have had fun!

Like....

Destin....by far my favorite! If you have never been to Destin you have to go! it is my favorite beach i have ever been to! yes I like it better than Caribbean, Mexico, Bahamas.... everywhere~ The sand is like sugar! the beach is crystal clear blue green! It was amazing !

I need to get a disc from Kelsey anyway of all the amazing ones she took for us there! To Be Continued....... I have a million more but this is just a few I found on the pic files...

On the way there the boys were awesome! We drove through the night!

Gabe was so proud of our sand turtle...





I think this was on of the first days everyone was happy!






Kade found flying and Golfing! They really had so much fun!

Muscles~!!!! Isn't that water crazy!!!!





Funny Story....kade was so excited for the parrots! then Landon as you can see thought he would for his turn smack the poor parrot! the owner guy was so mad at Landon....can't blame him...but it was way funny!the guy grabbed Landons hands! It was sooooo funny!

Kade ate a meat and cheese SANDWICH! I don't know what it is but when Kades with other kids he will eat things he has never eaten before! Its funny!

Then there was Seaworld! Hot! And I got was sick but It was soooo fun! It was 4th of July weekend. It was so busy! The kids had fun! Other than the sick part and really bad luck with rooms at the Red Roof Inn! Blahhhhh! we had a blast! Thank goodness for waterparks in the heat of the day! We didnt have many pics cause we forgot the camera the first day and the second day....well we just forgot to pull it out some:)

Landon went on his first ride! He LOVED it!

Then Garner State Park! The only truly comfortable place to camp in the middle of July in Texas!! You might think we are crazy but it is sooooooo much fun! I had not been able to go in about three or four years so it was so nice and fun to take Kade and Landon to our favorite place to go camping! The river was quite low but that didn't stop us!

Then of course there has been the weekly boat days mondays or tuesdays sometimes both! Our or at least my new love is the wakesurf! Its so fun! Its nice you don't fall hard like wakeboarding(which is still fun) just don't get the aches you get when you go wakeboarding! Landon has gone 3 times and freaks out when mommy wants to go without him~ funny stuff!

I can't believe summer is half way over!

Best Dads Ever!!!

It's Father's day! I feel so blessed to have such a great daddy! Michael Joeseph Moses He is the best. He has been such an example to me of loving sweet, Kind, full of service. My Dad luckly lives very close to us (like 2 min away) Kade and Landon are so close to their Papa. He takes them almost every Saturday for us and plays hard all day! Kade lights up on Saturdays when its Papa days! I love it. I don't know to many Papa's who play and do so much with their Grandkids! I love you Daddy!

Now for My sweet hubby! Gabe is such a blessing to us! He is a fun loving daddy! the boys just eat him up when we are all off and every night! Gabe gets teary eyed when the boys do cute stuff. I love that glimpse of that sensitive side he has. Gabe is a way hard working Daddy who is working hard for his goals! we are so proud of him and all he does for our family! some things Gabe enjoys is wake boarding, wake surfing, surfing the Internet for who knows what, playing with us, he is a good and fast little cleaner(thank goodness one of us likes it) He likes biking when he gets a chance, He loves Flying... most of all he loves his family!! I don't know what I would do with out him! We love you Daddy!!!

And to all the other Dads and future dads in our lives... thank you for being great dads and friends! Life just isn't the same without all of you in it! Keep up the good work!

I cannot forget to thank our Heavenly Father! He is always there through prayer when we are in need and has made it possible for us to be parents and has in trusted two of his sweet children to live on this earth with us! We know that we are privileged to be parents. I hope Heavenly Father knows How much we all appreciate him and love him. He is truly the example of sacrifice and love to us for sending Jesus Christ to atone for our sins, so we could all return to live with him some day and have eternal life as a family! Wow for him we are grateful!

Happy Fathers Day to everyone!!!! We love you all!

Kade is 3!!!

My Kade man is 3!!!! Yikes that is really crazy! I love every stage that we have been through with Kade~ even the whole birth with unexpected c-section and NICU visit~ and the fun acid reflux and colic! He was soooo lucky he is so cute and I found a workout ball and bouncing made him much happier!

Then Thanks to Kelsey she took such fun Pics of him all the time! He grew so fast this is 3 months.

Kade playing santa at 6 months

Kade loves the Camera(Sometimes) and he loves balls! 9 months

Kelsey will kill me because he had such cute 12 month

pics she took but I can't find them on the computer and Gabe is sleeping.... but this is one of my favorites! Kade hated the car seat rear facing so finally we turned it around and got a new one that was forward facing..... roadtrips had a whole new meaning!!! happy!!!

He started loosing the chubby baby look and turned into my little man! just intime for me to get prego!

Two years!!! awww! big Brother Kade is getting bigger! No more mi-mi( binki pacifire) and big boy bed!

I just had these made I know I already posted this one but havn't had his 3 yr pics done yet. Between Kelsey feeling sick and our crazy schedule. 3yrs. potty trained ....for the most part still having accidents! He is So sweet. My favorite thing is driving down the road or sitting making dinner and he will just sweetly say "mommy I love you" talk about melting my heart. He is definatly full of energy! I think he is tring to phase out naps which somdays makes life really interesting.... I love every bit of our time together for the last 3 and some years! I really can't believe some people choose to not have kiddos! They bring so much joy to our lives! I truly feel blessed to have two sweet boys! Happy 3 Kade!

I love texas!!!

Watch out Caleb Kades making his move!
Oh but they are so innocent!

Yeah they are all looking happy!

Just a few pics I stole off Kelseys Blog( our amazing photographer.... Kelseycallphotography.com). Hurry and call her to get your bluebonnet pics taken! The flowers are only in bloom for a few weeks and they have already been around for a few weeks! They look soooo pretty! even for my boys!

One Down!!!!

Finally I think Kade is good to go with out accidents for the most part! Who would have thought a Monster truck would have made him work so hard on no accidents! We tried candy other toys, books, nurf guns, But its been two whole weeks and we had just one accident at the rodeo! i guess he was just sick of pooping and peeing all over himself. now I am soooooo excited! I still carry extra everything... but thank goodness we are I think home free! sigh of relief! Man I think that was way crazier than i had expected but he is a boy! He did pretty good but the first month or two were rough.... so Kade took about 3 or 3 1/2 months to get it down! We started Jan 1st. I am pretty happy! he started eating more lately... Gabe and I some times whisper ..."do you see that hes eating"....sad but true! We were happy for a while if he ate a dang cracker not just those drinkable yogurts and or "daddy yogurt" which are just regular yogurt. Its crazy how things change when they get close to 3. He has been playing with Landon and being sweeter.... not always but more! But I love all the stages! He cracks me up to the stuff he picks up on from his letters and sounds to how to spell his name. They are really like little sponges! I love it!!!! Anyway..... Just happy that that is done!(I hope)wink wink.......
