Gulf Vacation

Last week Jeff and I headed to Galveston for a day or so to relax before my Doctors appointment in Houston.
 
 
Galveston.
If you ever visit Galveston you must eat at this restaurant!! Oh my goodness good!!
 
 I was scheduled for three days of testing that would last hours each day. Dr's in Longview were concerned that I had MS, ALS or Lyme's Disease. We got to the hospital on Tuesday morning at 6:45 and by 10:30 the Dr had the results of the (very painful) tests they had done. I was diagnosed with Benign Fasciculation's. You will see, I'm sure, at some point my eyes, arms, and legs twitching for no reason at all. Anxiety and stress may or may not make it worse, but I am fine! He kicked us out of the hospital and said "Go de-stress and live your life!!" Since the kids were taken care of by sweet friends and family we left Houston at noon and got in the car and took off! We had no idea where we would end up, 3 1/2 hours later we ended up at Padre Island!

One of my favorites.
 
 
Until next year!...
 
 
This was my little project after we got home. We bought the jar in Padre and collected our own sand, shells and sand dollars from the island. Yes I know they frown on that but this is my little piece of
Padre!

Summer so far

I am so far behind on my post it's not even funny. So I am just going to post some of what we have been up to the past several weeks. So yes, this is a picture post over load. ;)
 
The second week of summer Jared was off to Oklahoma with the Scouts for summer camp
 He ended up having fun even though he was not fond of going this year.
The week he was gone the other two kids and I enjoyed swimming with friends and hanging out at the movies. We also drove to Tyler and visited the Brookshires Museum. What a neat place. We really enjoyed it!
 
 Last week it was Caden and Grace's turn for summer camp!

Her first time to give it a go all by herself!  She did so good!

She caught her first catfish, and she was very excited!
