Update

I've been browsing this blog on and off all morning. I love looking back at life. These kids grow and change every day. Where have I been these last 6 months. Why have I not posted anything. What happened to project 365.

Oh, I know. We sold our cute but small for a family of 7 house and built another house that can actually fit all these growing kiddos. That has been exhausting, time consuming, emotional, overwhelming, did I already say exhausting, etc, etc..

Even though we've been in our new home for a month now, I still feel like I'm catching my breath. I'm still unpacking boxes. And I have NO intention of moving for a very, very long time.

This is the first Saturday in a few weeks that we haven't had visitors or something to do. It's our first Saturday to relax and get some projects done and spend time as a family.

Picnic time with Rose.

Assembling a new dresser.

She's enjoying the new bed in her new room. :)

Painting Project

Scary..

San Antonio Zoo

Bobby's sister came to visit us and we took a quick trip down to the San Antonio Zoo.

Thelma and Louise a two headed turtle!  She was REALLY small and it was difficult to get a good picture.

The monkeys are always my favorite!

Crystal Beach, TX

Last week we were blessed to spend a week at the beach with all 7 of us, my grandparents, and Bobby's mom. We had a blast together!

These pictures are a mixture of cell phone and camera pictures.  I had them in order but after I uploaded them they arranged themselves.

Bobby's mom caught a Bonnethead shark

The first morning sunrise.  This was taken with my cell phone and no filter was added.  It was beautiful!

One of my favorites, too bad this was with my phone.

This boy….. fell in the water

And this boy did the same

Covered in sand

She actually liked the water and sand this year!

I have the best grandparents!!

My grandparents were reminiscing on their first date 55 years ago to that day (Oct 30)

Dom loved fishing.  He spent over 4 hours on the beach.

Great-grandpa and Dom

Letting all the fish go

This guy thought he'd stick around for a little longer

Always building or taking apart things.

Last morning coffee

This sea gull was trying to catch the shrimp off my fishing line as I casted...
