Fredericksburg Trip w/ The Tapellas

What an incredibly relaxing and wonderful time we had in Fredericksburg w/ The Tapellas.  We spent 2 nights in the most adorable little bed and breakfast, that was decorated with so many cute ideas that looked like they came straight out of Pinterest.  :)  We enjoyed several wine tastings, good meals, and great conversations.  What a fun trip!  We will definitely have to do this again sometime!

On the road!

First stop: Torre Di Pietra Vineyard & Winery:

There was a jazz trio playing while we were there, and it was the perfect ambiance!

Next up: Becker Vineyards

After Becker vineyards, it was time for some Mexican food & Margaritas!

Day 2 of wine tastings, started off at Grape Creek Vineyards:

After Grape Creek, we went to another vineyard.  I can't remember the name of this one, but it was our favorite relaxation spot.  The wine wasn't overly awesome, but we sat out here in the sun and chatted while we leisurely drank our wine and ate some cheese, crackers, and salami.  It was awesome! 

If anybody can tell me the name of that cheese that is the white cheese with the very light brown tint on the edge, I would LOVE to know.  It was SOOO good!

Jacqueline and I kicked the boys tails in Spades.

And then we wrapped up the last night's events with part of the Partini game: a little humming game of guess the tune.  It was pretty hysterical at times.

WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!

My Seester is the Best!

One night, my sister sent me a text that said "check the porch".  I went outside, and found this cute poster.  Sometimes it's the littlest things in life that make us feel the warmest feelings.  I decided to tape it up inside my closet so I can see it everyday while I get ready.

US Women's Soccer

My cousin, Lori Lindsey, plays on the US Women's Soccer Team.  I believe this is the second time she has made the olympic team.  She also went to the World Cup last year with the women's team.  I hadn't seen my cousin since I was about 7 or 8 years old.  We got a call from my aunt, letting us know the soccer team would be playing a match against New Zealand in Frisco.  And would we like her to get us some tickets?  YES!  It was so fun to go cheer the team on, even if it was 30 degrees outside!  Later that evening, we went to dinner with Lori, and got to catch up.  It was great!  I forgot to take pictures at dinner, but here are some of the team warming up before the game started.

It's really hard to see in the picture above, but Lori has the ball and she is about to pass it.

BRRRR!!!

Yee-Haw!

Sick Days

The past month has been kind of a sick one for our household.  Jackson kicked it off with a fever and ear infection.  I caught a sinus infection and pink eye.  Scott got sick, and then Jackson got croup.  :)  'Tis the season for being sick!  I am so thankful for doctors and medicine to get us back on our feet again.

This doesn't happen very often...so you know he must be sick!

He's getting to be a pro at these breathing treatments.

Ice Cream & Library Date

I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to introduce the public library to Jackson, but I finally did!  A few months ago, Jackson and I went on an ice cream date.  Afterwards, we headed to the library to pick out his first library books.  He loved it, and we will definitely keep going back.
