Cory Visits

I was so excited when Cory told me he was coming here to visit us. He came for work and he flew to Austin on Monday and spent the week there for work. On Friday he drove down to San Antonio which is only about a hour n half drive. He arrived Friday early afternoon. After Ben got home we ordered pizza and then we took him on the town. We showed him the temple and where Ben's corporate office is. Then we went and got ice cream. Then the next day, Ben and I got to spend Valentine's Day with my dear brother. We went to the Alamo during the day with the kids. Then that night we got a babysitter and spent the night on the town. We took him to the famous "Rudy's". Ok here I thought we still could go somewhere, somewhat romantic but nope Cory wanted to try out the true Texas food. So at Rudy's its truly a Cowboy Dinner, so much for any romance!! You get a tray and they slab a bunch of meat on it give ya couple of sides in some plastic bowls and give you a half loaf of bread and call it good!! I have to admit the ribs were fantastic!! Ben and Cory loved it. Some what Barbaric but the guys loved it!! Then we made our way to the famous Riverwalk. We took the boat ride and it was great. We loved having him!




Here is a picture of us at the Alamo if anyone didn't know what that was!!


Here we are on the boat ride down the RiverWalk.





Down on the same street as the Alamo is the Museum of the Guinness World Record, so you tell me what they are standing by?I think it's pretty self explanatory!!

Taylor Swift

So for Christmas Kaylee got Taylor Swift Concert ticket from Ben and I. For those of you who don't know who Taylor Swift is, she is a young Country Singer and Kaylee loves her and sings all of her songs. Well the concert was the day after Canyon's Surgery!! Since I was still so sick Ben had to step in and take her to the concert. I felt sooo bad that I couldn't take my daughter to her first concert and I myself was looking forward to going with her but other than that, she had a great time with her dad. She was able to get all dressed up and I did her hair; she looked so cute.  She had a great time with her daddy!!


Daddy and I enjoying the Concert!! For those who don't know this is my dads first time at a concert, lucky him!! He gets to see Taylor Swift and 
I know he's been waiting for this!!




Oh Yeh! Im at my first concert too, I feel like a major adult!




Here's my girl Taylor Swift!!






Canyon Surgery

So Canyon finally had his surgery!! The surgery was on Feb 9th well the Saturday before that I had to go to the Urgent Care because I had the flu but I also had a Kidney Infection at the same time. I was so sick. I hadn't been out of bed all weekend and didn't know how on earth I was going to be able to take care of my little boy. Well our Home Teacher and Ben gave Canyon and I a blessing. Early Monday morning I felt so much better and I was able to take care of Canyon. I couldn't believe how good I felt. Well later that night it all came back. But Im truly grateful that Heavenly Father blessed me enough to be able to get Canyon through the day after his surgery. Im so grateful for the priesthood power. Canyon is finally perking up and has a lot of energy! Im so grateful everything went well during his surgery.


I don't know why Im here but there are a lot of cool buttons and things to explore!!
