Port Aransas 2009

Finally...... we made it to the beach!!! My mom and the kiddos made our way to Port A on Thursday. We were having a great ride when we heard a loud pop like and then another noise that we knew was not right. Long story short we lost part of our plastic casing that is under the car, so we were stuck on the side of the road with half of it hanging down to the road until 2 nice men came and took it off for us so we could be on our way!! The first night we stayed at a hotel, Tyler was up at 4:30 ready to hit the beach, he was so super excited. We made our way to the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus which was really cool! The next two nights we stayed with my aunt and uncle and my cousin Jake. We went to the beach, ate a ton, and watched the boys fish. It was awesome seeing the boys enjoy the beach so much, it was Carter's first time to the beach and Tyler's first time to remember. I can't wait to go back again!!!! Next time Brad will come with us, the stinker had to work

BOYS, they will do anything to get out of shopping!!!!

Do you think a trip to the ER will stop me from enjoying my day at the San Marcos outlet mall?

No Way!

Do you think a bump on the head will keep Carter from running in stores?

No Way!

Carter and Tyler were "playing" in a store sunday and Carter fell and hit his head just right on one of the table legs. Blood everywhere, Carter waling at the top of his lungs, people staring..... just a day in the life of the Hubbards! The dr's were able to glue the wound instead of stitch it up, YAY!

Back to the outlet mall when went, no we did not go back to that store again, pretty sure our picture is up as banned forever!

SWT girls 09

I loaded up the car with swim suits, pjs, and two boys (ok, so a lot more than that because I am not a light packer) and headed to Dallas to see my old SWT friends and their families. We had so much fun catching up and talking about old times. We went swimming, visited the Wet Zone, did a little boutique shopping and did lots of laughing and talking! Can't wait for the next trip!

Have I mentioned how much I love summer!

Summer is so fun! We love to hang out in our backyard on summer afternoons, Brad usually makes something yummy on the grill while the boys play baseball or in their kiddie pool. Ok, so Brad and I play in the kiddie pool too. The other night after it got dark we laid on our towels and looked at all the stars in the sky! The kids had a blast! Here are some pics from our Saturday afternoon.

Our little Austin Adventure

Summer is coming to an end and I am starting to get a little restless. Since we have had our house on the market (yes still on the market :() all summer, we have tried to get out of the house so I don't have to constantly clean it! We have done EVERYTHING and the boys (and me) are getting bored!!! So I found a park that I thought looked fun in Downtown Austin complete with fountains that the boys could run around in and cool off. I packed a lunch and we were off..... the park was great, had a great view of downtown, only one (or two) little problem....

That is right, off for repair..... two sad, hot little boys!

But there was a cool hill you could climb to get a great view of downtown

and a little pond where we saw some turtles

The boys ran around the fountain to see what it would be like if there were water and decided they liked it and we could come back another time when hopefully it will be OPEN!

The other little problem was there was no where to eat our lunch, there was very little shade and no picnic tables that I saw. So we hiked back to the car and had a picnic while I drove home.

Tyler and Carter's Homemade Pizza

This blog has been titled by Tyler himself! Today the boys made their own lunch for a change!!! They had so much fun creating their masterpiece and had more fun gobling it all up! Amazing how they eat everything on their plate when they make it!

ready to cook!

finished product

I also got a little crazy and actually make something from a recipe I found in a magazine for dinner tonite. Those of you that know me know that I hate to cook so this is pretty huge for me! It actually turned out pretty yummy if I say so myself! I actually blanched something (had no idea what that was until today)

July 4th Family Reunion

We started a tradition 3 years ago with a Wilson family reunion at my parents lake house. This year we super fun despite no water being in the lake! It is so sad to see Lake Travis so low, you can't even get a boat in right now. The weekend was filled with family, fun, sun and lots of food and drinks! Can't wait until next year, hopefully we will be back in the water!!
