Camping over Labor Day Weekend

Well if any of you know us very well you know that we do a lot of vacationing. As I briefly spoke of our RV a few posts ago our new hobby has kicked into full gear. All of Corey's side of the family (that lives locally) and the Chamblee's packed up and "camped" at Eisenhower State Park on Lake Texoma. Below is the entire group.

Miss Payton Chamblee...isn't she gorgeous!

Look at that beautiful blonde hair! I don't think I'll ever get used to how breathtakingly beautiful she is.

On Saturday we all packed up and took the speed machine pontoon over to a wonderful beach. We built sandcastles and played in the water. Nate missed out though bc he was napping back at the bus with MiMi.

This is my beautiful baby sister, bREA. Isn't she BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!

Chamblee Fam (I took the pic from wrong angle though and it's too dark)

Cayman even got to learn to play horse shoes....she could really use some work on her throw! Well....so could I for that matter!!!!!!

Bring out the Margaritas....Lane was so desperate for one he used a measuring cup! You crack me up Lance....I mean Lane!

At this point we started playing this animal game that I thought would be totally stupid but it turned out to be one of the funniest games I've ever played. My sister even busted blood vessels in her legs from the intensity. Holy cow that's funny!

Lane are you attempting to be a bear or a chipmunk???

Oh Brea...I don't even have words for this!

This is where we were saying our goodbyes and packin up everything. She wasn't ready to come home bc she just loves camping.

Visiting Gramma Joyce

The weekend before last we got to go to Lubbock to visit Gramma Joyce. She's not doing the greatest so she could use lots of prayer. We love you Gramma if you get to see these pics.

She really loves her Grampa Bud & Gramma "Leef" (as Cayman calls her)

Galveston Trip

This was our trip to Galveston about two weeks ago. We had an absolute blast. It was my precious family, my mom, stepdad, brother Cody, sister Brea, and my grandparents. It was the most special time I've ever spent with my family. And the fact that I am blessed enough for MY grandparents to be as active and alive in my babies lives is beyond any words. I will never forget this trip and I know it is only one of many that we will get to enjoy.

Our house was right on the beach so we could dive right into boogie boarding at any point in time. I even got to learn to surf! Successful....NO! But the guy who attempted to teach me was so sweet. It was some random 16 yr old boy who was surfing all by himself. I think he thought it was quite humorous. We also got to enjoy Cayman's new found excitement with the waves. She thought it was so much fun. Nate was a bit leary but I give him 6 months tops before he's diving head first.

Ta Ta for now!!!

Cayman Turned 2!!!!!!

Like I promised, here are Cayman's birthday pics.  I probably have more coming as Aunt Stef has this amazing camera that takes ridiculously great pictures.  If I get time I will post them as well.  Thank you all for making Cayman's birthday so amazing.  

This is the cake I made.  I had one ordered then Corey was so bummed that I wasn't making an annual homemade birthday cake.....talk about a guilt trip!  GEEEEZ!  I think it turned out alright.  It was a carrot cake with cream cheese icing.  It was pretty good.... I guess!

Cake TIME!!!!

Cortney & Nate....ladies man

Cayman's friend Georgia & her mom Angie

Nonni & Papaw

Look at face....is that trouble or what?!?

Aunt Jammi, Uncle Cody and their son Hayden...he actually was smiling 2 seconds before my camera snapped the pic.  Stupid cameras.  

She got an enormous amount of presents so this took a LONG time!  I think she had a blast doing it though.  Makes me realize how fun Christmas will be this year.

Look at this DCC uniform!!! This will be perfect for Nate's first birthday which will be a Dallas Cowboys themed party since his bday falls right during football season.  She will def be showing her spirit at the party and games this year.  Thanks Aunt Stef....Which by the way is one of the newest members of the ACTUAL Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders!  I'm so proud you are one of my best friends!

This is the new jeep Corey and I got her.  It's the Barbie Jeep and even has AM/FM radio...which is def her favorite part

Even Nate likes it

Look at this chair Grama Barb & Grampa Willy got her...she absolutely loved it....or maybe because it was the closest possible thing to the CAKE!

They all colored a flip flop colored sheet to follow the whole shoe theme!

Courtney I think kiddos have taken you over....you fit right in though with that new skinny body of yours!

This was our first venture in the new Barbie Jeep. 

I think she's going to need some practice.....

This is the other adorable outfit Aunt Stef and of course Uncle Joe helped pick out.  It is so stinkin precious!

Look at that arch in her foot....just like her momma!  

Happy Birthday Cayman!!! Hope it was special for you!!!!!!

Love Mommy & Daddy....
