South Padre Fun...

We are having a blast in South Padre! It has been so relaxing and fun. Awesome trips to the beach, building sand castles, swimming, cooking, and playing games with The Mosiers and The Bacaks has kept us busy, but I am learning so much from Jenn. It's amazing how great of a Mom she is. I am realizing through this trip the main reason why God placed the Bacak's in our lives. I have pictured exactly what I imagine I would want to be as a Mom, and now I see that Jenn is what I could only hope to be. She is so patient, and in times where I could see myself screaming, she doesn't at all. It's so awesome and I'm so blessed to know the Bacak's. God gave me an AMAZING Mom who I learned so much from for 23 years who I am still learning from. So, when God blesses us with children I know we are going to have great role models. (If you can't tell I'm definately ready for children)

Anyway...back to the trip. Today was a great day! Jenn, Erin, Treston, and I hung out at the house and watched movies, ordered pizza and played with Treston, while the boys and Emma went to Schliterbahn. The kids (and by kids I include Nick and Matt) had a super time at the water park. Nick and Matt are so cute with the kids. My favorite parts is seeing them take Emma out in the waves of the ocean, and play hide and go seek with them EVERY night!! What great husbands and one day Dad's we have Erin.

Here is a picture of sweet Jax playing in the ocean! We are pros at "Oh Simmer My Timmers." Erin and I love to sing it with him - and we love to sing it when he's not around. We just looooove him!!!


And by the way Emma is a fantastic sand castle builder. Such a beautiful little girl!

Yesterday I was walking along the beach picking up seashells and Justus came running up and wanted to help me. It was so cute. Everytime he would bend down, his little britches would come down and show his little brown bootie. It was adorable.


Tomorrow we are taking "family" photos! It's also our official last day of the trip, but not to worry - we decided it is going to be annual! Anyway....when we get more pictures we will post. Hope everyone is having an awesome week!

Hey Vann's...I'm so glad that you added me to your "blogs that you read." Now that we are grown-ups (or atleast trying to be)and in different cities it's going to be hard to keep in touch. But blogs are amazing and make it a litle bit easier. I love hearing about you guys. Love ya'll and miss you both!!

Hi - I don't have your email so I'd thought I's send this to you on your blog. We're friends of Lynseys. Carissa, I really want to talk to you about photography sometime - I live in Houston and am starting up myself! My reason for tonight's post:

Ladies and Gents,

I know it's late but I have a prayer request that needs some immediate attention. One of our VERY close family friend's children had a brain aneurysm this afternoon while playing in the yard outside at his house. He was taken by helicopter to TX Children's hospital in Dallas, TX but he is currently on life support. Surgeons should be operating on him any minute now - they have already drilled a hole in his skull to relieve the pressure. The child's name is Spencer Squire and he is 7 years old and he and his family need all the love and support we can offer them right now. Please send this to everyone you know and lift this little boy and his family up in your prayers.

Thank you and God Bless,

Daniel & Sarah Shalley


Talk to you soon. THANK you for your assistance in prayer.
