Trip To Houston

Well, we actually took the whole family this time since the kids haven't been to Mema and Grandpa's in a year and a half. We thought it was time. Actually it was totally last minute planned because Mark had a weeks worth of business going on in Texas and asked me if I wanted to go too. I told him as long as we could take the kids this time, I'm there! Now, normally we would not even think about taking the whole family because of how expensive it costs to fly but we were in luck this time. Because Mark traveled so much last year he earned a companion pass which means I can fly free with him anytime so that's one ticket. We also had earned a rapid reward ticket and then his business paid for his ticket so we ended up only having to pay for ONE ticket!! Whoohoo!! Family of five for the price of one ticket! We're there! So we had a great time (10 days to be exact) in Texas and the kids had a great time visiting with my parents and my sister Kelli and her little girl Alexa. I was also able to be there for Kelli's baby shower which was tons of fun! So glad I could be there and actually get to hang out A LOT! Here are som pics of our trip.

Excited to go to Mema and Grandpa's house in Texas! The flight there was great and the kids did awesome! Love the dvd player! Don't ask me how the flight back home went. Let's just say it wasn't as smooth sailing.


My sister Kelli's baby shower. Tons of good food and fun. Kelli looks great and I can't wait for that baby boy to arrive soon!!


My childhood best friend Becca that I grew up down the street from. Known each other since 2nd grade!




We love Mema and Grandpa!


PJ's and a movie almost every night at Mema and Grandpa's house. Our nightly ritual while we were there. Zach and Kali loved spending time with their cousin Alexa too! :)

Sounds like a great trip- i didn't realize it had been that long since you had been back to Texas. A much needed visit for sure. How come you didn't post about the trip back - now that's a story you DON'T want to forget - haha!!!
