Relaxing

I am in Austin for a quick trip, and I received the cutest pictures by text.  My children are relaxing with Dad, and he had a few special requests.  Reed wanted to take a bath, and he needed a towel to rest his head.

Ridley and Ryland relax with a little Nabi time before bath.

Relaxing with a view

I enjoyed a relaxing massage with an amazing view at the Viceroy.  It was nice to step away for an hour and slip away into a truly stress free place.

Lake fun

We spent the afternoon and evening enjoying Lake Grapevine with the Bunch family.  The kids were ready to get on the water, and the parents were ready to relax! 

We played in water, cruised around the marina, ate dinner on the boat, and watched the firework show.  It was awesome! 

 

Toy dreaming

The Toys R Us Christmas catalog arrived in the mail today, and Ryland immediately took possession.  He looked through it hundreds of times and refused to put it down.  I noticed him watching his nightly show while flipping the pages.  He was using Cooper as a pillow and dreaming of all the toys pictured.  He has already marked the special things we need to share with Santa.

It's a hard life

Ryland and I made a deal.  If he took a quick bath and didn't whine, he could watch one show on TV.  He chose to watch Doc McStuffins.and he quickly fell into a trance.  When I looked over and saw this, I just had to snap a picture.  He sure has it hard.

Mommy's morning out breakfast

The MOPS group that I belong to wrapped up its first semester with a breakfast for moms. It was a laid back morning with a catered breakfast and time to chill out. I really enjoyed visiting and chatting with the gals at my table while Ryland played with his friends and created the cutest sticker nativity scene. What a wonderful morning of blessings!

Relaxing with Cooper

Ryland figured out how to push his toy over to the ottoman, so he could climb up in the chair. He crawled right over Cooper and made himself comfortable. He grabbed the blanket and started relaxing. It is crazy how much he picks up from just watching others.
