Galveston with the Brents

Tyler, Austin and I went to Galveston this past weekend to have one last vacation before summer is over. We had such a good time. Mia Jo had a BLAST playing fetch in the shallow waters.

We drove to Huntsville, which is where Tyler lives now, Thursday night after we both got off of work. We woke up Friday morning ready to be at the beach!!! When we FINALLY arrived in Galveston, we checked in and headed to the beach right off the seawall for the afternoon. We had a good time relaxing and doing nothing. Since it was 5ish when we were at the beach, there wasn't too many people around us, so we could let Mia run around without worrying about her running off. That night, we went to Mario's Italian and Seafood. It was a complete mess.... That is a whole other story! On Saturday we headed out to the ferry and headed to Crystal Beach (our favorite). It was so nice on that beach; we were there ALL DAY! We got a pizza and ate it in the tahoe on the beach!!!! We had a great time spending the weekend together. We went to Joe's Crab Shack on Saturday night for a WONDERFUL dinner.... It was good! Sunday, we woke up slow and packed up. We got out of the hotel right at the check out time and headed for some lunch. We grabed food and parked on the seawall to watch the waves during lunch. Then headed back to Huntsville.... It was sad for it to end, but we had a great time so it was worth it.

Enjoy the pictures and video!

Jackson is FOUR....

On August 7th, Jackson turned the big 4. I cannot belive he is 4 years old. He was just born... right?!?!?! :)

I made the trip to Temple for Jackson's Transformer party to represent the Brents. They had their HUGE slide/pool thing and it was awesome! I wish I would have taken my swim suit and joined the kids. I decided to sweat on the sidelines instead. It was good to see everyone there; it is always nice to see a little family! After the kids swam and played, it was eating time. We had hotdogs and chips (my kind of lunch!!!). We headed inside to the AC and had cake and sang to Jackson. And the best for last, opening presents! He got some really cool stuff.

We love you Jackson!

Dr. Johns..

This post is dedicated to my Auntie Lisa! I saw her this weekend and she was curious as to what I have been up to with work. I didn't even think about keeping people updated on here! So here goes... One full summer of work crammed into one post! (It won't be that bad)

Work has been GREAT! I love it so much. The days are hard, but all in all I have really enjoyed being witht the kids and teaching them different activities. This week my activities to teach are Four Square and Disc Golf.... last week I had a science project (they had to build something around an egg so when we dropped it the egg wouldn't break) and jump ropes.... The week before that I had floor hockey! I am no expert at these things..... but I had fun learning from the kids and teaching them what knowledge I did have...

I have accumulated quite a tan from swimming almost everyday of the summer! This week my activites are BOTH outside so I will be using the sunscreen in the mornings. It is supposed to be between 99 and 102 all week. Makes it hard on the kids during activities, but it makes going swimming all that much sweeter!

We have 9 days of summer camp left... :( I think the kids are ready to head back to school. When school does start, after school program starts back up. These hours are so much better. I will be there from 2-6pm therefore I will get to sleep in a little. This waking up at 5:30am is getting the best of me! I am tired all the time now. I just can't catch up.....

Hope everyone had a great rest of the summer!

Boring....

Well... not much has been going on lately.....

HB and Lynnsay have officially moved to Shallowater and we dearly miss them. I am excited for them though... They are married and finally on their own. Can't wait to see all their new adventures unfolding in their lives :)

Yeah, thats about it! I told you nothing has been going on... I meant it!

Life is good right now :)

My baby brother... MARRIED!

I think I am still in shock of my brother getting married... He should still be sliding down the steps in Cameron on his tummy.... or dancing to Elvis for the Cater Talent Show.... or getting his driver licence.... or starting his first year at A&M.. just thinking about how grown up he is now makes me tear up.... I think it is starting to hit me that he really is married and about to start his life together with Lynnsay! They are in for an adventure, but it is the best adventure ever. I cannot wait to see where God is going to take them. I love them both so much.

Post one memory of HB and Lynnsay (Pre or during wedding) or from one of their childhoods! I have so many, but I want to hear some from you!

Happy One Year Anniversary Brents!

On June 6th, we celebrated our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! It has been such a great year and I couldn't imagine being married to a greater man. He has taught me so much in the almost 4 years we have known each other. Life is great.

For our one year, we headed down to the beach in Galveston and spent a relaxing 4 days. We stayed in a house that belongs to my father in law's boss and it was an awesome house! It was just perfect for us and had great views of the bay. We enjoyed watching the sunsets and the birds. I hope we will do this again. It was so peaceful and nice not to worry about anything but what we were going to do that day. It was just great. Here are some pictures from our trip.
