Port Aransas, Texas

September 6th & 7th we went to Port Aransas, TX on Mustang Island for a weekend getaway. Our friends, Tobie, Jeromey, & Breckin Hannel went with us. The kids had so much fun in the sand and ocean they were absolutely exhausted by the end of the day!

Happy Birthday Lana: August 2008

I had a wonderful birthday this year. Mark and Olivia gave me their presents on my actual birthday and then on the 23rd we had a pool party with friends. It was a good time.


Yummy Pina Colada cake made by Kelly!

Woo Hoo! A massage gift certificate from Kelly & Brandy.

My homemade fruit-cicles were a hit with Olivia and Breckin!

The Hannel's

We haven't gotten together with our friends, Tobie & Jeromey Hannel, as often as usual this summer. We had them over for dinner and dessert in honor of Jeromey's birthday, Tobie's birthday and their anniversary.

Olivia and Breckin had so much fun playing together. As you can see by the pictures, they were pretty much the focus of the night... as they should be!

At the end of they night they sat together and watched Barney. They were so tired they just sat, catatonic, watching the big purple dinosaur.
