Miami/South Beach Trip!

We had such a great time on our trip to Miami & South Beach! Despite the poor performance by our Ags, the beach was great & it was so fun to hang out with friends. It was a nice little getaway and the girls did great for Mama G & Papa G. We can't wait to take another mini vacation!

On Friday, we woke up early to eat breakfast and got to South Beach around 10AM. We rented some chairs to lay out on & enjoyed the sunshine! We took a lunch break a couple hours later and walked along Ocean Drive to eat some pizza and buy some t-shirts. Then it was back to the beach for the afternoon! It was so relaxing to lay out and swim in the ocean!

Time away from Mommy & Daddy...

Last Wednesday, we loaded up the girls and made the drive to Houston to see Mama G & Papa G for the weekend. Here are the girls ready for the road trip!

That evening, we ate dinner at Texas Road House. The girls quickly made friends with the waitresses and got to line dance with a couple of the girls! They had so much fun!

After dinner, the girls enjoyed sitting outside on the benches and watching the pigeons...

On Thursday morning, Mommy & Daddy woke up early to fly to Miami, Florida. They met some friends there for the Aggie football game & to go to the beach. (Miami pics coming soon). This was the longest time to leave the girls (2 nights). Thanks to Mama G & Papa G for taking good care of the girls & letting us have some quality couple time away!

Here are some pictures of the girls over the weekend...

Shae LOVES to watch Hayley & Hayden, their dogs

Kaelyn loves playing dress-up, such a girl!

Aggie Chicks!

We picked the girls up these cute t-shirts at the Aggie game last weekend. They say "Aggie Chicks" and are too cute!

The girls meet Reveille, the Texas A&M Mascot, for the first time...

Kaelyn wasn't too sure of her at first, but quickly warmed up to her saying "dog" repeatedly.

Shae loved her & barked at her nonstop.

Look, it's Reveille!

Playtime At Noah's Ark!

We met our sweet friends, Allie & Brooke and their Mommy Brandy, on Wednesday to eat lunch & play at the Noah's Ark Play Area at our church. The food was great at The Main Street Cafe & the girls had a blast trying to keep up with the big kids. This was the first time I had taken the girls here & they seemed to enjoy themselves! I like the fact that they can't escape because they can't climb up stairs just yet :) That didn't stop them from running in opposite directions to check out the place though.

Football Season Is Here!!

The Arrington family definitely loves football season, especially AGGIE FOOTBALL! We have season tickets this year & we are out of town every weekend in September. It's going to be a busy month, but we can't wait!

This weekend, we packed up & headed down to Spring on Friday night to stay with Mama G & Papa G. They watched the girls on Saturday while Ryan and I went to College Station for the first Texas Aggie football game vs. Montana State. We had a blast & it was great to walk around campus, eat lunch at Freebirds & hang out with friends! We felt like we were in college again!

Heading to the game!
