So Sleepy Today!

It's been a busy weekend here. Soccer practice and games, Alex has a stomach bug, my friend Jennifer's 30th birthday party, MOMS Club BBQ, the list goes on and on. I bought the flowers for Mass at St. John Vianney and dedicated them to my mom. Today is the 25th anniversary of her death. It is surreal to me. 25 years that she has been gone. I've been having a little bit of a hard time with it. There have been years that have gone by where I haven't even remembered that the date has passed, but I guess since this is a milestone year, it has really been bugging me. Plus, I have read so much sad news about people I don't even know - children that are sick or dying... Ugh. I'm not even PMSing and I just want to cry all the time!

On a happier note, I was finally able to go through some vacation pics and post them to Shutterfly. I'll try to post them here, too. Let's see what happens. Got some great ones! We had such a blast. We will definitely be returning to Horseshoe Bay. It was only about an hour away. The hotel was more like an apartment. We had a full kitchen and the suite had two levels and two and a half baths. We got a really great rate. The resort had 4 pools and a beach. We rented a ski boat and went tubing. I don't think I've ever seen Colin have more fun in my entire life! He was so happy!! Alex had such a blast in the pool. He got sick on Monday but he was still able to enjoy most of the vacation. He is a real trooper, that kid!

There were beautiful Oriental Gardens with Flamingos and Parrots. Water features and fountains were everywhere. The place was pricey, but it was well worth it. Sometimes it's just worth it to pay the extra money and be surrounded by the beauty and not have to be stressed out about where the kids are going to sleep and what you're going to eat, etc.
