i just got back from a long long vacation. i was gone almost two weeks by myself with the kids. mike had to stay home and work and i needed to get a break so me and the kids went to dallas to see some of my family that i havnt seen in 10 years or more, and then we went to my dads house to visit them and my grandparents. it was a lot of fun but i am glad to be home.here are some pictures from our trip.
here is scarlett looking for the car in the parking lot with her "binoculars"
here is owen on his first plane ride. notice the giant gash in his forehead...he scratched himself with his sharp talons.

this is my dad stepmom and grandpa at the sea center. owen was sleeping so that is why he is not in the picture.
this is my dad and scarlett at the beach.
here is owen, my handsome little man! and he has a little spit up to look extra adventurous.
we stopped by africa on our way to houston and took a picture by an elephant really quick before he charged us.


these are my cousins boys and my kids. owen and rhett are the only ones that like to pose for the camera...the other two only like to make silly faces...so i took what i could get. the the bottom picture is scarlett and rhett. ha ha.
here is scarlett in owens carseat. it was so funny to just see a head sticking out.
this was on our way to dallas, we are in my parents RV. it was a great way to travel with little kids. however i have a tip if you ever travel in an RV:hold on to something if you feel the need to stand up while the RV is in motion...or you will get bad bruises all over your body.

I'm glad you had a good vacation. I couldn't imagine braving an airplane alone with two kids either...You're my hero! Owen is so much bigger already and so handsome!

OMG! Those pics of the "second cousins" are so cute! I have a few pics of Scarlett and Grant, and they are both acting like fools in each of them as well. Typical!
