We just got back from visiting my in-laws, in Bermuda, where they have a beautiful house and spend the summer. All four of us flew down on the 9th, Reif stayed the weekend and then had to return home, to work; the kids and I stayed until this past Monday and flew home with my in-laws (Thank you again, Kim and Martin for the help! I would never have made it with both kids, all by myself.). I have to say the traveling part getting there and back was not the most pleasant experience (traveling with two young kids, luggage, cars seats and strollers in tow), but we all had a wonderful time while we were there! Both of the kids really loved it! Here are just some of my favorites from our trip! (Bear with me there are quite a few!)
Reif, Thatch and I on day one getting ready to go on a treasure hunt
that Papi (aka Martin) set up for Thatch!
Martin helping Thatch discover the treasure
(that he so cutely planted & drew a map for)!
Daddy and son...
All geared up for a boat ride!
(Juls was not a fan of the life jacket....hence the face!)
Juls asleep on the boat, at lunch.
Thatch in Heaven, driving the boat, with Papi!
Kim and Juls, in front of the beautiful house.
Juliet on the beach, checking out the sand
(which she for some reason enjoyed eating).
Taking a stroll down the beach with Papi.
I loved getting his little foot prints in the sand....
A man, his boat and a mission...
Thatch and I in a Banyan tree.
He thought it was pretty cool being able to climb all over it
and swing from it's viney roots.
Juliet curiously checking out a shell.

I have some of the cutest pictures of Thatch on this gate,
from his first trip to Bermuda, so I wanted to try and get some of her too.
I think I got a few...
This is her new laugh, mouth wide open.
She is very proud of it and laughs like this all the time, just for fun!
Thatch at the Aquarium.
Thatcher was scared of the boats and the waves, when we first got there,
but by the end of the trip he was all about them!
This is him paddling the kayak in Hungry Bay, where their house is.

One night we went down to the big beach,
to take some sunset pictures of the kids and the water.
Our precious babies...
So this past weekend, the kids and I, went to Austin to see my parents and relax for the 4th! We had a fabulous 5 days! Thatcher has been dying to get out in the "big" boat (vs the "little" boats, aka "wave runners") since they got the house and this was the big weekend! He could not contain himself.....that is UNTIL we got out on the lake. "There were just too many waves" he said, or should I say cried. He was ready to call it a day, pretty quickly, but at least we got a little ride on the "little" boats too. Maybe next time he'll be a little more in to it. Neither of my kidos were really boat goers. I grew up skiing at two, but both Thatch and Juliet might have been better off leaving the on the dock! Other than that we really had a great time. My brother came up (with some friends) and my cousins, my uncle, my great aunt & uncle and my Nana all came up too! It was a full house, but it was great to see and be with everyone.
I hope that you all had a great 4th as well!
Thatcher just loves to "cook" with my mom and she found the cutie little apron last time we were there.
"Unc Penc" as Thatch calls him, with Juls.
My cute uncle brought sidewalk chalk to play with Thatcher. My parents actually have a pebbly drive, so they had to revert to the deck, but aren't they cute!
My cousin Danielle with Spike here!
Thatch and G-Dad washing the "big" boat!
Little Juls bathing away in the sink...
And yes, that's my 2 yr old in the sink too. He actually crawled up a chair and started taking his clothes off, all by himself, to take a bath in the sink! My silly Goof-ball!
Brotherly love! I love it!
My little non-boaters...
(she's out and he wishes he were)
Me and Baby JAC
Thatch and I on the "little" boat
This is what my brother does to play with my kids.....he's got her in a rolling cooler! Anybody need a babysitter????
This is the life....A little higher Thatch!
Juliet fell in love with this little rocker. She had a bit of a problem getting turned around right, after she crawled into, but who cares....she definitely doesn't.
My TV baby, in her rocker....
Last weekend, Reif & I flew to Milwakee, WI for a wedding of a friend of ours, from Law School (that he was in). My cute Dad and brother, drove in to keep Juliet and Thatch for us, so that we could attend (thank you again Dad and Spenc). It was a wonderful weekend and we had the best time! The weather was amazing up there, especially compared to our hot Texas summers! We saw friends that we had not seen in a couple years, got all dressed up, stayed out late and had a blast! We can't wait to all get together again soon!
Nikki & Colby are two of my best friends from St. Louis!
Andrew Gray, Jonathan Knisley, John Remmington (the groom), Andrew Kinworthy, and Reif
Colby Gray, Nikki Kinworthy, Katherine Gale, Me & Kate Seib
The whole "Wash U Gang"!
My cutie husband and I at the wedding...
A few weeks ago, we kicked off out summer by meeting some goods friends of ours (from Law School) in Austin to visit my parents at their lake house. Unfortunately Andrew and Reif couldn't make it, but Colby and I had a blast with our kids!
Our first night at one of my favorite resturants The Oasis, overlooking Lake Travis!
I loved this picture of my dad and the kids!
Cutie, Little Peter and his Mommy, Colby.
Yes, that's my 22 year old brother in the wagon with the kids, being pulled by my dad!
Thatch and Juls with Gam and G-Dad in the wild flowers.
Colby and I with our boys.
Spenc and Thatch posing with a fabulous antique car in Fredrickberg.
Juliet's first time in the pool!
I thought that this was a pretty funny picture!
Peter and Thatch at the front of the boat. They seemed to love the wind and watching for other boats and the little door, was just perfect for both of them! Unfortunately our boat day was pretty chilly so we could not get in, but we still got to enjoy a little ride.
The infamous pots and pan drawer!
When we got home, we spent a day at our neighborhood spray park.
Here's Thatch, shooting me with a water gun!
Peter checking out a pool toy!
