Jaron and the kids decided to spoil me this year for my birthday and they did a good job of it!
My birthday happened to fall on a Thursday this year and my favorite thing to do on Thursday is go to institute. Jaron kept the kids home with him this time and I got to ride with my sweet friend Julie Bahr. She's so great and keeps me laughing nonstop.
After institute Julie had planned a lunch with some of our friends which was super fun and thoughtful. I have met so many amazing people here in San Antonio and feel so blessed to have their influence in my life.
After lunch Jaron came and picked me up and brought all the kids (plus two of Julies that he had been watching).
Then it was off to Padre Island. Jaron did an amazing job at pulling everything together WHILE watching our two (and Thomas equals atleast three or four) and my fiends two. He is great! I had packed the kids and my bags but Jaron did EVERYTHING else...(which I must admit was a little scary:))
Padre Island was just perfect! We stayed in this great hotel and our room over looked the ocean. We were literally twenty steps from the beach. Since it's technically "off season" it wasn't too crowded and we all just had a blast! Our hotel had three pools and a hot tub that sat on the edge of the beach so that was nice when we were done with being covered in sand!
We also brought our bikes and road up and down the beach. We fit couldn't Jaron's bike on the car so he jogged, ( but I think he enjoyed the extra exercise:))
I felt like Jaron deserved a kiss....especially since just before this pictures Thomas was stuffing sand IN Jaron's ears! Jaron was such a good sport!
Miaja and I finally got to ride our "beach cruisers" on the beach! It was every bit as fun as I had imagined!
The kids made countless sand castles. I love how much fun a beach is...it reminded me of living on the beach in Maine...which does almost seem like a dream now...a great dream though!
Jaron was just like a little kid on the beach with the kids! They named our kite "Shamu". Seaworld has had a HUGE effect on my kids! They have no idea how fortunate they are to live five minutes from Seaworld!
Oh how I love these guys. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday! I guess 33 is off to a good start!
(I do have a ton more pictures....these were off Jaron's phone but my camera is in Jaron's car...at work. I'll post more pictures later!)
