And that my friends is South Texas weather!

Well we've had a wild weather week in Corpus Christi. Last Monday (the 21st) it was HOT HOT HOT. Tuesday we got a cool front with some rain, and by Wednesday I had to put Reese in jeans since the high was 68 degrees. It was AWESOME...we've been waiting for that for MONTHS! Thursday it started warming back up and by Friday we were back in the 80's. Today we had a great beach day, about 87 degrees, water temp of 81, it was perfect.
I have to say today is one of the nicest days at the beach we've ever had (weather wise) the water was so nice you didn't even hesitate to get in and the air temp was not too hot so you sat there and weren't sweating while you played in the sand. Such a great day. I would bottle these types of days up if I could.
Sorry this pic appears to be fuzzy...that's what happens when she runs "super fast" while you try and snap her photo

Cooking dinner for Chewbaby!

Can't you tell how much Chewie LOVES when Reese plays with her?

Smiling for the camera

Reese insisted we take Chewie's picture. This was right after the hug, neither would pose in the hug long enough to snap the photo

Off to the beach! (if Daddy ever finishes doing his fantasy football crap)

PIGTAILS!!! and they lasted 45 minutes. Then she told me her head hurt and she had to take them out.

But as you can tell we moved onto a ponytail! Today at the beach Reese didn't even hesitate when it came to getting in the water. She ran full steam ahead as soon as we got there and went in about waist deep to jump waves with Ryan. Then she played by herself, with her bucket and pail for 1.5 hours.

Dancing in the water!

Strike a pose!

Reese playing, and Ryan flying the kite

Checking out the pelicans

Wild beach hair, but check out that nice line in the center of her chin. She took a header into the pail while at the beach and landed right on the edge of it. I'm not sure how you trip on sand (when it's perfectly flat) but she did. She should have a nice little bruise for all her birthday pictures on Thursday!

We're hoping for another great week of weather and we know we'll have lots of birthday pictures for later this week. Wednesday I'm tackling the art of making the Wilton Elmo cake and icing it with homemade buttercream icing and dying it all to look like Elmo. Pray for me...as this will be my biggest challenge yet.
