Heat and humidity does wonders for gardening...

Most of the plants you see were planted from seed about 3 months ago, it's amazing how thing grow down here.



Our Bradford Pear tree (a gift from mom and dad for my birthday!)


Morning Glories, planted from seed, now they're HUGE!

Wildflowers galore, I actually have a bunch of perennials planted in there, they are justs dwarfed by all the new growth!

Port Aransas

We spent the last few days in Port Aransas, just outside of Corpus Christi. It was beautiful but unfortunately we had torrential rain and cut our trip a little short. The kids LOVED the beach, boogie boarding and the little beach town. Here's more info about the town: http://www.cityofportaransas.org/, http://www.portaransas.org/

Jordan and Ashley LOVED the water!


Little did I know when I was taking this picture, but Jordan was actually standing there PEEING! I was wondering why she was standing so still!


Relaxing after a long swim.



Jacob and Sam couldn't get enough of the water!
