10 days till the big 0-2!

We've been on the road yet again. On 9/10/09 we headed out to see some great friends for the weekend. Reese and I left around nap time and headed to San Marcos and hit up the outlet mall. Reese got a stylish new pair of kicks from the Stride Rite store and I can't even tell you what a big girl she looks like in her new sneakers. It's crazy. I will have to take a picture of her in the new kicks to post. They are super cool and according to her (and she will show you if you ask) they make her run SUPER fast. After the short shopping trip we drove over to New Braunfels and stayed with some friends at their river house. We had an enjoyable first night, all hanging out and muching on some yummy food at a local favorite (which we've been to before since it's close to Geronimo).
Saturday we ventured out into the overcast weather to Schlitterbahn (America's #1 water park...and the "hottest coolest time in Texas") and had a BLAST. We were sans kiddo, which was a nice break for me, and we rode TONS of rides with our good friend Monica and Wayland. What was even better, since it was the 2nd to last weekend they were open, and the weather was sort of cloudy there were hardly any lines and we got to ride everything we wanted to multiple times. We're already talking about going next year. SUPER fun. Reese hung out at the Bading house in Geronimo and got to spend time with her Oma and Opa (along with Chewie).

Sunday we departed and made the trek to Houston for a little Kingwood R&R. We of course, visited with all the grandparents and enjoyed every minute of it. Reese loves her great-grandparents. It's really cute seeing her walk right into their houses saying hi to each one and giving them big hugs and kisses everyday when we headed back home.

She also got plenty of time with Mimi and Grampy when we were there. Sister and Sean came over for one night as well. It was a swell time had by all and we were sad when we had to head home.
This week we're back to the normal routine and counting down the days until Miss Thang turns 2!!!! AHHHHH! She's a piece of work this one...today she told me that she wanted to go to College Station to stay at the condo. We'll see about getting that kid to Aggieland soon enough. At least she knows about College Station now...since she'll be living there in college.
Only a few pictures this week...sorry I will try and take more for next time.
Feel asleep with her toy mustard bottle
She passed out on the bed around 7:45 the night we got home from Kingwood. Poor baby was pooped from all the entertaining she did.

So happy that Sister is visiting

Reese loves Sean-e (as she calls him)
