Girls Weekend

Last weekend I was very blessed to be able to get a little time away on a girl's weekend with some friends. This is the second time we have done this. We went down to the Hyatt Wild Oak Resort in San Antonio. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you were wanting to spend a few days in San Antonio doing Sea World, Fiesta Texas, etc. It is right next to the larger Hyatt Hill County Resort and right across the highway from Sea World.

This place has a lazy river...which I LOVE! A sandy beach area, poolside cabanas with hammocks, water slides, hot tubs, gameroom, campfire night with smores and lots of fun stuff for families. They have a great room set-up...they offer two bedroom units, with two baths, a living room and full kitchen. The only downside is they only have one on-site restaurant. But, you are right next to the larger Hyatt Hill Country resort which has lots of eating options.

Our weekend also included massages/facials at Academy for Massage which is a training school and has very affordable services. We also went to Target...which was very funny...we get out of town and we go to Target.... We all had so much fun though just looking at things we wanted to look at, without kids and no time limit. This Target stayed open till 11pm...it was great!

This weekend was a definitely much-needed relaxing time for this mommy. Thanks friends for joining me!

Silas's 1st Birthday!

We were so excited to celebrate Silas turning 1!

He is such a sweet, easy-going little guy. He is definitely and snuggle-bug! He has lots of energy and can really "hang" with his sister and brother. He is currently everywhere...I often find him crawling out the back door (left open by the older ones), across the yard and crawling up the playscape slide! He likes to play outside, especially on the "big" kids playscape and play in his water table. He loves our dog Laci and will often just sit and watch her eat and pet her. He loves wrestling with daddy and Caleb and Ella. He likes to crawl and push a little car in his hand around the house....making car noises. He also likes pushing the shopping cart around and having all of us take turns pushing him on his airplane walker. He is thrilled about airplanes and immediately if he hears one outside will look up in the sky trying to find it. His favorite book is probably The Hungry Little Caterpillar. He can say a few words - fish, dog, mama, dada, all done and loves to do the sign for airplane. So, we had a small, family airplane birthday party for him.

Hope you enjoy the pictures and get to know our little Siley a little better.
Not easy to see from the pictures, but I put a little picture of Silas's face flying the airplane.
Daddy even made paper airplanes and hung them from the ceiling. Silas loved looking up and pointing at those.
How big am I? Soooooo big!
