Vacation May 2011

We decided since Adam only has his internship left that we would take a small vacation. We wanted to make it fun for Parker -

Our vacation started Thursday Morning with both of us getting haircuts by the fabulous, Tiffany! Then we ate lunch with Adam's dad and headed to Lufkin. We watched Hunter play a little bit of his ball game and then headed to Andrea's (Adam's Sister) graduation from Police Academy. Then we ate at Casa Ole to celebrate... We stayed the night with my sister and got up Friday Morning and headed to the Lufkin Zoo.

We bought a family pass at the Lufkin Zoo for $40 that gets us into 60-70 zoos across the country for free or half off depending on the zoo - It gets us into Houston Zoo for free!!! I'm pretty excited about that - Houston Zoo has gotten expensive $12 for Adults and $8 for kids 1 and up! That's crazy! After the zoo, we headed to Incredible Pizza in Conroe, then went to the Houston LDS Temple, then hit up Jamba Juice, then checked into our hotel, went to Katy Mills Mall (I bought two pairs of jeans in a smaller size that I have been wearing! Oh Happy Day), ate at Rainforest Cafe, went back to the hotel and then got up Saturday Morning - Headed to Houston Premium Outlets in Cypress, found a Buc-ee's right down the road from it, went to the Children's Museum in Downtown Houston, and then came home and met my dad for dinner! Here are tons of pictures! Enjoy!

The Lufkin Zoo

We got a 2 room suite hotel - it was huge and pretty nice except for the fact that one of the bathroom doors squeaked so it was loud, the air conditioner in the bedroom wasn't the best and there was a long hair in our bed so we had to change our sheets at 11 o'clock at night - I'm pretty sure we'll get the two room suite every time we take the kids on vacation with us!

Parker loved Incredible Pizza in Conroe - let me tell you 1000 times better than Chuck E Cheese - It has bowling, putt putt, bumper cars, go carts, plus all the arcade games, a room for toddlers to play in and it's a pizza, pasta, salad, dessert buffet!  I went when Adam's family when we were dating and we knew Parker would love it!

Do you see Adam's big feet?  Yep he went down the slide with Parker!

We couldn't Pass up Jamba Juice!! Parker was a fan of the Chocolate Moo'd and Adam and I love Strawberries Wild!

We ate at the Rainforest Cafe - Parker loved it!

During the rainstorm - this elephant (that was right at our table) would move its trunk and trumpet.  Parker was scared at first since it was so close to us - but when we told him it wasn't real, he was okay with it!

We found a Buc-ee's!!!

We didn't buy any Beaver Nuggets - but we did get some amazing fudge and beef jerky!!

The Children's Museum

Firsts

Saturday May 18 - First spoon feeding - I wasn't shoveling it in fast enough -

First Movie in a theater - Rio



This is just so I can remember later in life :)

Roll Over

Yesterday Rigs was laying on the mat on the floor and I was in the kitchen working on dinner - she was fussing a little, but nothing to crazy...I heard her start crying louder and louder and I could tell she was getting frustrated - so I came in to check on her and she had rolled over from her back to stomach and was mad!

Today she rolled over from her back to stomach and then again back to her back...

Cute, Modest Swim Suits

It's hard finding a cute modest swim suit - especially one for a girl my size (don't worry I'm still working on that - I've lost about 25 lbs since Riglee was born and only 5 of that was pregnancy weight).

Parker Haynes Loves His Mommy

Parker was on the news today! My sister is friends with the news anchor, Jessica, and she sent the clip to her just to show her (Jessica has become all of our friend and we call her Parker's boyfriend haha). The Co-Anchor (he wasn't in the clip - he was off today) heard it and told Jessica it had to be their clip of the week! haha

Enjoy!!

Mother's Day 2011

Adam and Parker wrote a poem for me last year - and this year Parker was big enough to actually read it to me himself!  Adam took him in the back and recorded him saying it and put it to music.  Tears came to my eyes when I heard it!

  Dear Mommy by obviouslyadam

Here are the words to help you understand what he's saying:

Dear Mommy
By: Parker
Dear Mommy I Love You
I swear that I do
even when I'm bad
Or make mean faces at you
Dear Mommy I Need You
when things scare me at night
I’m ever so grateful
that you're in my life
