Trip to San Antonio and Happy Fourth!

Happy Fourth of July! This is one of my favorite holidays. This year, we left for San Antonio on July 1st (my b-day) and returned in time for my Aunt Donna's 4th of July party at her new house. The whole week was loads of fun; Madison's birthday, my birthday, San Antonio trip, July 4th party and then church and rest day to end the week! I'm tired, that's for sure!

Of course I got matching outfits for the kiddos for the 4th...

This was taken in Aunt Donna's backyard. They closed on the house on the 1st and had a small gathering on the 4th! Exhausting.


I got my family the red Old Navy shirts and Shay's girl's the white ones...cute...


They even had matching red, white and blue bathing suits but you can't tell b/c Maddie is holding the babies in front of her. I actually forgot Maddie's bathing suit at home so she and Todd had to make a run for a bathing suit when we got to Donna's. She still scored! She came home with a really cute red, white and blue one!

Get ready for some ultimate cuteness..

Seriously...

What's up homey?

Like his friend Zach (see the Caraway's blog), Coop has also started doing this thing with his tongue. This is what he looks like most of the day!

This was taken at my favorite Mexican Restaurant in San Antonio. We went there for my birthday.

I was making Maddie be goofy in one of the little shops. It's really not hard to do.

Back at the hotel...I HIGHLY recommend the Wild Oak Ranch Hyatt Resort. It was so nice and truly you never have to leave the place. They have tons of activities planned for the kids, indoor/outdoor pools with waterslides and a lazy river! I was wanting to stay another night but knew that we needed to get back for the party. We will return for sure.

I love this picture!
And this one...

The babies loved the lazy river!

Perhaps we need to invest in some waterproof mascara...:)Thank you Nana for helping us out this week! We love you and know that we wore you out! Thanks to Nana the big girls were able to go to Fiesta Texas while she watched the babies back at the hotel. Cooper didn't make the day very easy on her either. If you were to call her this second you wouldn't be able to hear her because she has NO voice!
