Beach August 2016

We made it to North Padre Island beach in August a couple of weeks before Abbygale started Kindergarten.  We had so much fun as a family and made lots of fun memories.  We played in the sand and made mermaid tails and castles, played in the beach water, swam in the pool, shopped, and rode around.  A great weekend getaway!

Abbygale 5th Birthday Party

Abbygale had her BIG 5 birthday party at Splashway water park!  It was the very best and so much fun!  The kids ran and played, ate cupcakes, rode the slides, swam, and just had the greatest time!  It was so much fun and full of so many memories!!  The guest list included: Us, Claire, Mawmaw, Pawpaw, Preston, Tyler, Grandpa, Nany, Kristen, Clayton, Colton, Kailyn, Kamryn, Courtney, Brittany, Bridgett, Brooke, Chelsea, Georgia, Melinda, and Daxton.

Sea World #1 2016 Summer (July 2016)

We went to Seaworld with Courtney, Brittany, Bridgett, & Brooke.  We had so much fun watching shows, playing in the Splash pad, and riding big rides.  It was a fun and hot day with lots of memories!

Summer Cousin Fun!

Cousins are great friends and always have lots of fun together!

Abbygale First Tooth Out & Tooth Fairy

Abbygale lost her first tooth (front-bottom) on July 26, 2016 at 4 years old (almost 5 years).  She was beyond excited the tooth fairy was coming for a visit.  She has been saying for a month she wanted $135 from the tooth fairy and she would hit the jackpot!

She took her tooth and put it in a case and then in the princess tooth fairy holder she has.  She tucked it right under her pillow.  In the morning she looked and she had $60 ($40 for savings and $20 for a toy), a tooth fairy wand, and a little letter from the tooth fairy herself.  She was so happy!  Not quite $135 but she still was thrilled!

Her adult tooth had already started to come in before her baby tooth even fell out.  The dentist said this was common.

She can't wait to lose her second tooth!  Who wouldn't right - she is one special and lucky girl!

YO Ranch Headquarters

We went to YO Ranch Headquarters for the day and had a great experience.  We had a home cooked meal, ranger ride looking at African Safari animals, and even a hands on encounter with a giraffe.  We got to put cookies in our mouth and the giraffes would come and eat them and give us a kiss!  It was a once in a lifetime experience that we will have the memories of forever.
