FINALLY!!!!! I get these posted, I am so sorry for those of you that have really wanted to see these! Texas was fabulous this year, as it is every year, but I didn't get to go last year since I was about to give birth to Aves and my doctors didn't want me to fly, so I was a happy person when we got there and settled in! The plane ride with Avery was awsome going to Texas! She slept for an hour and played or ate the rest of the way, a really content girl. We spent most of our time swimming, taking walks, eating and shopping in Mexico, headed to the Zoo and South Padre all in one day, and spending some quality time with Nama and Pa. Nama and Mom even got a pedicure in, while Dad got a shave in Mexico, time for ourselves! As we were leaving we found out that Nama and Pa were going to put an addition on the back of the house with an extra bed room, family room and golf cart garage! They tiled the whole house, no more carpet and also redid all the "popcorn" ceilings and added a "wet bar" kind of a thingy! I might have forgotten a few updates, but thats the majority of them. We have seen pictures and we are looking forward to seeing it in person for next years trip!
