Labor Day 2010

This Labor Day we went to San Antonio to stay with my cousin, Jessica and her sweet husband, David & their 2 boys, little David & William. We had a BLAST!

Did a little swimming:

Nana & her babies

Emme had so much fun swimming with her Daddy!

She was so brave - she would even let us let go of her

when she was in the floaties.

(The water is freakishly blue in these pics!)

Jackson, on the other hand, did not want any part

of this pool. He was content to be an elephant instead!

Jessica & William

William is a miracle baby. Jess was pregnant with twins & had problems from the start. Sadly, she lost the girl baby, but William held on and was born at 30 weeks. He was in the NICU for months and is now a prefectly healthy, tiny little almost 2 year old boy! He is so stinkin' cute!

This pic is blurry, but Brennan was such a trooper with

these WILD boys! He played & swam & allowed them

to beat him up, all the while with a smile on his face!

We went to Sea World on Sunday:

The whole crew:

Jessica, David, William, David, Clay, Nana, Emme, Aaron,

Me, Jackson, Yaya, Pops & Brennan

Tiffany, JC & Hailey met us there:

Jackson & Hailey ADORE each other and will marry one day! ;)

Emme loves Hailey too - they will be such great sisters-in-law!

Emme also loved the cotton candy JC gave her!

Eating Brennan's doritos

Clay shared his popcorn & the kids are forever his!

The kids loved the sea lion show

Emme pointed at everything!

We love hanging out with Tiff & her family - wish we lived closer!

Emme pooped out on us in the penguin house

Sweet Williams girls!

Jackson liked being splashed with water at Azul.

Fish out of water! (Ok, it's really a mammal)

Jackson pooped out on us at Azul!

It was 4pm and he hadn't had a nap - it was bound to happen!

We brought our bouncy house & the kids jumped:

We rode bikes indoors:

William & Emme

Emme laughed & laughed when I tooke her for a spin

on the plasma car!

Right before we hugged bye & headed back to Houston

Jackson had to hold Daddy's hand in the car.

So sweet!

I think a fun time was had by all! We hope to go back VERY soon!

Labor Day

This Labor Day we had a BLAST! We went to Canyon Lake and met my mom's side of the family at a friend's lake house. The house slept 12 and we had that many people and then some! Jackson got to play with his cousin, David who will be 3 in two weeks and with William who is 9 months old. We refereed many a fight over toys, but they loved each other's company. Emerson played a little with William, but was mostly held and loved on by older family members, which is just the way she likes it! We journeyed into Gruene one day, went out on the boat & jet skis, ate like it was going out of style, and visited. I got to meet my brother's girlfriend, Megan. I approve! She is super sweet and was quite helpful with Jackson. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. The ride home was less than relaxing - Jackson is still having bouts of car sickness. Thankfully, he never actually got sick, but he was sure nauseated! He was crying and swallowing hard. I kept feeding him crackers to settle his stomach and we stopped to take breaks. I don't know what we are going to do with a car sick child....I got nauseous from riding backwards looking & tending to him. It's awful! I'm hoping he grows out of it and grows out of it SOON!
