Weekend at Camp!

Emma playing in the sand!

Fun times with Uncle Travis!!

This was the only way they could get JC to go down it!

Swimming in Pawpaws pond

My little fish!

Lake T

Emma is a mess!!

So this is how she gets when she is thinking about standing!!

This little girl is a freakin MONKEY!!

Yep she climbs and she falls!!

Emma is turning one very soon and she is into everything!!  She is for sure the climber out of all three of our kids!!  A couple of weeks ago she tried to climb into my bathtub and she was getting very mad she had one leg going up to get in but of course she is to short so it just really made her mad!! Then she was trying to climb out of her crib!!  She was hanging out and had her leg up to get out but once again to short and very mad!!  Well today I have a air mattress in the living room along with a twin one for the boys they had a sleepover and she was in heaven!! She could crawl onto the couch!!  Yea she was excited!! Well I was sitting there talking to Justin and his back was to here and I thought I was watching her and before I knew it she had climbed all the way to the top of the couch like it was nothing!!!!  That little girl is fast and she gets into everything!! Besides the climbing she loves toilet paper!!!  She will have a trail of paper all over this house that she has torn into millions of pieces if we don't put it out of her reach!!  Lord help us when she starts walking!!

Crazy Hair!

I still laugh about this!!  Emma's hair is getting  very long and after her bath I didn't let it dry completely before bedtime and let me tell you it was the craziest hair that morning!!  It stuck straight up!!  The boys had church camp that morning and I guess in the rush of things I forgot to comb her hair down so we went to church and Justin was holding her and I wasn't paying much attention to her and I overheard a guy say "Look at that hair" and I kinda turned around hoping it wasn't me he was talking about and he was laughing and I looked up at Emma and was like oh lord I forgot to comb her hair down!!  I was like sorry!!  The guy was like I think it is cute her hair must be growing so then I wondered if he really thought her hair was like this all of the time!!  It was a good laugh because it just goes to show how I forget things that usually would drive me crazy when we are rushing out the door!

Grilled Cheese and Oreo sandwich!

Yep that is right a Grilled Cheese and Oreo sandwich!!  I know you are probably thinking how disgusting but if you are any part of the TRAVIS family you know what this is!!  This is our Uncle Clayton's famous sandwich!!  I learned about this sandwich after working for him at the hardware store and yes at first I was like your crazy that is gross but it really isn't!!  Try it!! You might like it!!  I made it for the boys and they LOVED it!! Imagine that!!  Justin just thinks we are crazy and has not tried this family sandwich but he will in time!!

Camping!

The last fish!!!  Right after this picture was taken that fish flopped around and I am not sure who was scared more Emma or Pawpaw!!

Everyone fishing!!

Emmas first boat ride!

Carter and Braden!

Two very tired little boys and dog!

This was a very last min camping trip with mema and pawpaw!  Took the kids fishing and they learned to run a trout line and chase our jug lines all over the lake!!  We had a great time!!  We are going on another camping trip with the whole family which might be a little better because there will be swimming involved with this trip!  We went to damn b for this spur of the moment deal it was nice but swimming would have been better but there were some big gators watching us!!  So no swimming for us!!  It did rain for a couple of days which wasn't bad like we thought me and the boys actually played in it!!  We kinda acted like it was our first time to see rain (which it was really for us in a really really long time)!  It was a very nice and relaxing trip!!

Camp!

We have spent some time (not as much as we like yet) at our camp that we are remodeling!!  We have came along way and thanks to my wonderful dad who let us borrow his crew for a couple of days!!  We actually have all of the walls up and now we need water and some electricity!!  I will post pictures soon only because I forgot to take them the last time we were there!! Ooops!

Summertime!

Braden trying to surf!!  I was very surprised he did this and Carter  would not have anything to do with it!

Braden had a blast floating around the river!

And the slide!

Carter was just as happy as can be as long as he had his life jacket on and was on the kiddie slide!

And lets not forget his food!! This boy LOVES to eat!

Oh and he loves meeting new people (girls)!

I had the best time with them!!  Love them to pieces!!

I am enjoying this time with kids as much as possible!! I make sure on Justin's days off we are busy going!!  It is hard to do things with them by myself with all three of them but I do and we manage but it is alot easier when I have an extra hand!!  Plus makes me less stressed and able to enjoy each of them more!!  Yes as a mom you learn to do many things at once by yourself just sometimes it is better not to for many different reasons!!  So far we have gone to Pirates Bay Water park in Baytown and the kids and I enjoyed it very much!!  This was also a daddy and little girl day!!  I was a little concerned for them but he did very well with her all by himself!!  And no I don't doubt my husbands abilities to take care of our children but for some reason he seems to act like this little girl of ours his is first and things are so different, so lets just say there were lots of questions before I left that morning to spend the day with our boys!

Weddings!!!

     

 This was a busy time with all of the weddings!!!  My younger brother got married and so did Justins!!  It was lots of fun!!!  Carter was in Uncle Wes and Aunt Sarahs wedding and he LOVED it!!  He was very very handsome!!  Everyone looked wonderful at both weddings and we had so much fun hanging out with our families!!

Last day of school!!

Wow where has this year gone to!!  It is such a bittersweet day for me!!  My baby will be a first grader!!!  We are so ready for summer and have such big plans for our family , but it still makes this so hard!!  I was a basket case when he started kindergarten and now that it is over I am even more sad!!  His teacher Ms. Hicklin was amazing!!  We loved her she was so good with him!!  Braden made several new friends and it has been such an amazing thing to watch his little adventure with them!!  I know he still has his click of friends from daycare which I know they will always be close but this year he has made good friends with some other kids and we tried to tell him now next year you might not be in there class again!  You will make more friends but you can still be friends with them!!  I think he feels like if they are not in his class he can't be friends with them!  But him and his good friend Mason have hit it off great since the begining of school and I hope they will continue there friendship thru the summer!  We are looking forward to the summer I will try to keep everyone posted through it!!

Walmart!!

So just for the record I do not shop at Walmart unless I really have to that usually means I have more then one kid with me and I have to get a variety of things that I can't get at HEB and keeps me from bringing my kids all over town so with this said I am so SHOCKED each time I go!!  I always tell my sister in law that there are major FREAKS in Walmart and each time I go that seem to get closer and closer to me!!  What is bad is I usually have Emma and she just smiles at these people which then they think they can come closer to her and talk with her and I am like REALLY people just wave and walk by don't come to us and talk to us!!  Well yesterday  I thought we were doing great was getting a few things and checking out and all of sudden he shows up and I was like on lord please don't touch Emma or talk to her!!  He was so dirty  had so much hair on his face that I barely could see his eye so I tried to hurry up and get out!!  So he started talking to Emma and she was just looking at him like oh my!  So I have my back to this man and all of a sudden he starts talking to (really I am not sure if it was me or the cashier) us and telling us have  you ever boiled eggs and had them explode and I was like oh lord!  He tells us that he boiled some eggs for lunch and went to eat it and it exploded in his mouth and it made his lip swell up and so by this time I am like are you really telling us this!  I had my back to him at this point trying so hard not to bust out laughing and he goes to tell the cashier you want to see what the inside of my mouth looks like!!  REALLY!!!  Holy freaking camel crap!!!   He opens his mouth shows her the sore and tells her green pus has been coming out of it all day and it hurts really bad!!  I about lost my lunch!!  I am thinking if this just happen nothing should be coming out of it already so there is other issues besides a freaking egg exploding in your mouth!!!  So really and truly I just don't understand why people that shop at walmart can't be normal !!! I mean really!!!  I am still just so amazed at what people just feel free to tell you!!
