1ST VACATION IN 5 YEARS!! THE BEACH!!

We finally went on a real vacation. It is horrible that it took this long. We went to South Padre Island and we had a blast. Here are some pictures of Kaycee having fun on the beach!!

She was spinning around in circles!

Kaycee building sand castles. I forgot how fun that was.

Kaycee sharing her Cheetos with the seagulls!

I caught her in mid run -- I love this picture -- isn't the water really blue?

I already miss it -- we are definatley going to make this an annual vacation!!

The Zoo

M'nina, Sam, Kaycee and I went to the Zoo on Saturday. Kaycee had a blast. We were a little disappointed because the did not have any panda bears or gorillas. They were also in the middle of construction so you could not see the elephants, which Kaycee really loves. She didn't seem to mind though. She had a lot of fun. She really enjoyed the petting zoo because she was able to hug a goat.

She was watching a river otter.

Kaycee was facinated by the hugh fish.

Kaycee and her Daddy. I love this picture!

This was after luch when she was getting her second wind. She was running around and having a blast.

STRESSED!!

I have be studing for my PCAT that is this Saturday for 7 hours straight today and I am getting very stressed out. If anyone out there as any suggestions on how to ease the stress level I could definatley use them. Oh and maybe say a little prayer for me...that might be the only thing that gets me throught this. For anyone in the Kerrville area, we will have a "Amber's finished with the test" party Saturday night. I plan on drinking to the point where I no longer have to think. Just kidding .... no I'm not!
Wish me luck and keep in your prayers!

I'm sooo excited to be out of school for the summer. The only thing I have to do now is study for my PCAT test that is scheduled for June 21. Other news... Kaycee is completely potty trained. She has not had any accidents in over a week and has even gone through all her naps and overnight with out getting up wet. We are so proud of her and are excited that we no longer have to buy pull-ups! Everything else is pretty normal, just working and trying to save $$. I was figuring the other day that if gas gets up to $5.50 a gallon by the end of the summer then we will be spending almost $900 a month for me to to drive to school. That's not counting gas for Sam's truck either. Does that suck or what? Well I hope all of you are enjoying your summer. Have fun and be safe.

Summer is almost here!

Well, Ma'nina isn't here anymore because she is living in paradise as many of you already know. Kaycee has been looking for Ma'nina since her vehicle is still here, she thinks shes here too. We are very excited that I have finals next week and then out of the SUMMER!!! I am so tired of school this semester and tired of paying these ridiculous gas prices to drive to SA. I will get some new pictures up soon.

Our little Tom Boy

Our neighbors were over and they have 3 little boys. The boys were playing football and when they put down their helmets Kaycee decided she wanted to play!

Now playing with a gun at Storm's birthday party. She loved this gun. Doesn't she look cute?
