Excercise, here we go!

So while I was in San Antonio for the week we celebrated my 35th Birthday. I've been wanting a bike to do a little excercise and for something Blake and I could do together that doesn't involve TV or video games. My mom and I went to numerous Bike Shops and tried a bunch out. Below is 'Ol Yeller as I named her, and we are sure to have lots of fun riding around the neighborhood and bike trails in the area. I got the basket so I could carry a picnic if I should choose, but it is now on the shelf in the garage as I got many stares in Dallas with it, but don't worry I will break it out when the time is right to be used. Thanks mom and dad for a great birthday present that is sure to give me much enjoyment!

Tubing

My favorite day of our vacation was floating down the 'ol Guadalupe River. It was so relaxing, except for the part when you first get in and it feels like 20 below zero and you just know your back end will freeze and break off. Anyway, we went to the part that is called the Horseshoe which took about an hour and a half...we did it 3 times. The pictures here are from a picnic we packed and ate between the rides. Just have to add, the one thing that is also great about vacation with your family is that you don't have to get all beautified for them, I got to hang out all week without make-up. What a treat for me... that is until you look back at the pictures. Who cares, that's why it's called a vacation. Right??? I wish I had taken pictures while on the river but I didn't want to chance dropping my camera in, a good decision since I did fall out of my tube once, I completely dumped over and oh was it ever cold.

The Alamo

One morning after breakfast taco's (mmmm, breakfast taco's) dad and I went to the chiropracter so I could get my rib popped back into place (thats a whole other story) and Mom, Blake & Robbie went to the Alamo. It wasn't quite open yet since they got there so early, but it was still a good time.

Mowhawks are cool!

Since I don't have a little girl to dress up and make cute, I decided to have a little fun playing with my son's hair. I wanted to give him a mowhawk during the summer, but my husband would have no part of that, he said he would just shave it off completely...then I would be left with a skinhead as a child and that ain't happening. So this was my attempt at one with the gel. I think he looks adorable!
