Galveston 2010, Memaw's 90th, Much More !!

Moody Gardens Hotel - Galveston 2010



Just arrived and already ordering room service

So excited to be here!

Palm Beach at Moody Gardens

Hangin' with my cousins Austin & Ashlyn

Grandad and me at the hotel pool....if only he would give me a sip of his Pina Colada!

Seeing who can hold their tongue on the lime the longest

Mom-mie, Dada and me

Ashlyn, Austin, Dada, Grandma & Grandad at Fisherman's Wharf

Waiting patiently for our table

After a goodnight's sleep Jaxton was seriously hanging like this and taking a MOMO :0

Then he joined me for "pretend coffee"

1st time back to the beach in a year...not too sure

He's wondering if the seaweed are his Ewww's like he plays with at home

Trying to figure out what he is standing on ( he doesn't like sand at all usually )

Now I put him closer to the water and he still trying to figure it out

Here comes the ocean!

Now he is digging his big ole feet into the sand

He wasn't happy after that so he chilled on the beach chair for a bit

So we fed the seagulls his cereal

And he LOVED that!!

So much for the actual beach time....20 minutes maybe!

So we headed to Schlitterbahn for the day with everyone

Jaxton loved the "tubes" and the lazy river with the BIG waves

Playin' with Dada

Chillin' out in the tube

Didn't want to get out...but he was way tired so we headed home!

Happy 90th Birthday Memaw!

LOVES the gas pump!

Only picture I had with Jaxton and Taylor together :)

The other kiddos all playing together in the smallest ball pit they could find!

OMG....he found the COW BOOBIES...this is his favorite thing OF ALL TIME!

( u would b surprised how many books and puzzles actually have cow boobies!)

The drum AGAIN! He remembered it from the last time

Snacktime at Coupon Day at MOMS group

Mimi taught me how to finally whistle with this flashlight/whistle

Finally, I have had a chance to sit down and update Jaxton's life! We are just about to start counting the days down until Birthday #2....holy cow!

We have been running around all over the past few weeks and looking back at these new pictures I can see my little boy actually growing up....changing so fast and learing so many new words!

A few weeks ago we went to swim at my sister's house and experienced what the Caddy Shack Pool part was all about!! As I was spinning Jaxton around and bobbing him up and down singing "Ring around the Rosie" in the pool.... Inoticed a cloud that appeared around me and him and immediatley knew it was MOMO that had escaped Jaxton's diaper! Unfortunatley it was not like what you saw in the movie BUT it was more like oatmeal flakes with flaxseed!!!!! I haven't seen anyone jump out as fast as I did when my sister and her husband knew what it finally was...LOL!! Poor Jaxton had no idea!

Other than that...the pool trips have been without MOMO and alot of fun! I took Jaxton to Noah's Ark Pool at First Methodist Church and he finally decided to start jumping into the pool and going all the way under and closing his mouth so he didn't choke! He did this I know for 100 times...seriously! He kept saying "AGAIN!" He has continued to get braver and braver with the water so hopefully next year we can sign-up for swim lessons and have success!

After having my camera for almost a year now I remebered it had a video on it too so I have tried to use it a few times so I could download him in action...hopefully it works because our really nice video camera is too powerful!

Ross's grandma, Memaw, celebrated her 90th birthday this month! We drove to Tyler to celebrate with almost 70 other family members and it was a perfect day for her I think! I enjoyed meeting the rest of the family I had not met yet and enjoyed seeing all Memaw's Great Grankids playing together!

And to end our last few weeks, Ross's parents asked us to join them down in Galveston at Moody Gardens with their other Grandkids for a couple days of water fun!! We enjoyed the Palm beach at Moody Gardens, the hotel pool, Schlitterbahn and the beach! Jaxton did really well at all the water activities EXCEPT THE BEACH....he hates sand and so do I so I couldn't blame him. I had enough time to capture a few pictures in his sailor outfit Mimi gave him before he was ready go "Bye-Bye"!

As we count down the days until Jaxton turns TWO, I am in awe of how much this little guy has learned and changed in just two short years....I am so BLESSED to have such a PRECIOUS and LOVING child!!
