PARADISE!!

What a WONDERFUL trip! Fabulous friends, beautiful emerald water, and all the food and drinks you could ever want. The Sandals resort in the Bahamas is truly PARADISE!!
We left Temple at 3am...yikes!

When we got to the airport, the resort had overbooked the van....so Holly and Rusty sacrificed for the rest of us. :) 
 CHEERS! Finally checking in and ready to GO!
1st stop- pool bar
 The first night we ate at the Pub and then headed to the piano bar- SO FUN!
We convinced the entire place that we were triplets from Texas :)
 AMAZING!!!!!
 Holly and I relaxing before lunch on day 2
I'm usually not in to doing anything physical on vacation, but I know how much Travis loves to get out there and try all of the water sports, so I joined him. 
I really enjoyed paddle boarding... But it was hard work!!
 my favorite spot
Trivia Challengers
 I'd say Camryn has him wrapped around her finger....as soon as he saw these straw bags he had to have one for her!
 Getting ready for Junkaroo Island Party!!
There was all kinds of fun entertainment including fire eating...by Jeffrey!!!
After the party we went to the Hibachi restaurant. (yes, we ate dinner twice...)
 Day 3 we headed to the private island- it was breathtaking
Hope was feeling the island vibe
Day 4- back to the island
 so sad to see our last day come to an end

We spent the end of our last night at the fire pits....I'm so thankful for these friends and for a few days of adult time. :)
Happy Graduation and 7 year anniversary Travis!!!

Ortho Graduation

Friday night we were invited to the ortho graduation for the 5th year residents. It was SO nice! It was fun to meet and talk with the other residents and staff and their wives as well as celebrate the past 5 years of the graduating chiefs. Their wives made the sweetest slideshow including drawings and recordings from all of their kiddos. It was extremely emotional and also exciting to think that we will hopefully be there 5 years from now. 
hanging out with Dr. and Mrs. Stahl :)
Proud of this guy

Port A- family vacay

We got to spend Memorial Day weekend with great friends at the BEACH!! Despite a stomach bug for Colby and a teething Camryn, we managed to have a blast and not get anyone else sick. 
Thank you to the Schneider's for sharing your beach house and your weekend with us!!! Can't wait to do it again. 
14 adults and 16 kids... never a dull moment!!
Sweet Melissa made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for ALL of the kids only to get this in return...
I am sure she didn't appreciate the fact that I was rolling on the beach laughing and insisted on taking a picture before I would give her a baby wipe...
super fun night time boat ride and wine with fabulous friends
 Sweetest and happiest baby ever!!! Love this little Jaleigh Bug
 This little man tried crawfish....and liked it!!! (too bad he was in stomach bug recovery and daddy wouldn't let him have more than a bite)
