Layton's Baptism

 We are so proud of Layton!  He decided to follow Jesus and back in May sat down with us one night and prayed and asked the Lord to be his Savior.  We spent some time this summer making sure he completely understood this life changing decision and also went through a new believers class at our church.  He got baptized and it was a wonderful day with family!  His testimony was amazing and he did such a wonderful job!

Anniversary Date Night

On our 11th Anniversary we ended up going with a big group of friends to Pappasitos and then to the Exit Room game.  We had so much fun and it was so good to laugh and have fun with our friends.  We celebrated Christel's birthday that night too!!  I'm so thankful we have so many sweet friends that are all going through the same season in life as us.

 We made it out of the room just in time.

August Wrap Up

 Had a great visit with Grandma Hill one morning too.

 Headed to Meet the Teacher night for Layton in the pouring rain.

 We enjoyed our last full day of summer at Game On with the children's playgroup at Cowboy Fellowship.

 Layton left this in my bed one night lol.  It says I'm a snake haha he was trying to scare me.

 We had a fun outing one raining evening at the Tower of Americas.  The kids enjoyed going up to the top and checking out the beautiful view of San Antonio.

 This boy was so proud of his little boots that finally fit him.  These were Layton's when he was little and now Parker wants to wear them every Sunday to church :)

Cruise to Cozumel

We stayed in Houston the night before we headed to Galveston with Jerrod, Amanda and Winston so I got a chance to love on Winston the morning we were driving to Galveston.  He is such a sweet baby!

 Just walked onto the ship and got my first tropical drink.  We were so excited to have a few days to ourselves and to hang out with Daniel and Lauren and their friends.

 See you in a couple of days Texas!!!

We booked the cruise two weeks before we left it was a last minute thing so the only rooms available were interior.  We have always stayed on the outside of the ship with a balcony so I was a little nervous.  It wasn't too bad we just never knew what time it was because our room was pitch black once the lights were out.  I didn't really like that I couldn't see out but we didn't spend much time in our room.

The next morning Lauren and I went to the spa and I booked a massage.  The view out of the window was awesome.  All I could see was the pretty blue water and the massage was amazing!!!

 We spent the majority of the day out by the pool relaxing, people watching and listening to music.

 Here we are headed to dinner our first night on the ship.

 On the second day we arrived in Cozumel, Mexico.  We have been to this island multiple times and we always have lots of fun!

 We took a cab and headed to Mr. Sanchos beach club.  The weather was a little over cast when we got there but it ended up clearing up and being a really nice day.

 We had fun climbing everything in the water, paddle boarding, swimming and lounging on the beach that day.

 Here we are headed to the port to eat at Pancho's Backyard

 Here we are at the Love and Marriage show later that night.

 Our last day on the ship we did more laying around the pool and relaxing.  Soaking up our last day of vacation.

 The sunset the last night was beautiful.

 Here is our crew at dinner the last night.

 This was the last night after dinner we were headed to go listen to a band play.  The sunset was so pretty.  We had such a great vacation and it was nice to have a short getaway before school starts up and our busy fall schedule of activities with the kids.  A big thank you to the grandparents that kept our three kids while we were gone and taking such great care of Molly as she ended up catching strep while we were gone.
