"Look at me I'm Sailing!"

Ryan and I just recently went on vacation to the British Virgin Islands. No Grace did not go with us but it was good for us to get away for awhile. We were gone for 2 weeks!! It was wild. We really had such a blast. It was kinda a crazy getting there but it was worth it in the end. We fly into Tortola and that is were the boat picked us up. We were on a 7 day chartered boat. There were a total of nine of us that came from all other. Ryan parents Tamy and Roger (Brenham, TX), Ryan's aunt and uncle Karla and Ken (Austin, TX), Joan and Bill (Houston, TX), and Sheryl (Colorado). Our Captain's name was Jeff and he was the BEST! So many stories so little time! There was also a crew of two great women Kim and Heather! The meals were unbelievable and the company was great! We went to all the islands except for Anegada....but that is another story for anther post. We went scuba diving, snorkling, exploring, shopping, sailing, you name it we did it. It was an experience of a life time. Thanks Karla and Ken!!

Enjoy the pics!!

"Take me out to the Ball game!"

Here is the family at a baseball game on Friday night. It was the first I am sure of many games that Grace will be attending with her daddy! We were at the Frisco ballbark. Go RoughRiders!!

On Saturday we went to Adam Spence's wedding here in Dallas and saw all the old gang again. What a gorgeous wedding!! Some people we haven't seen in so many years. It really was like a college reunion. I will have to get Janie to send me the photo of us in fun sunglasses at the end of the night.

More pictures to post later!- O

Aunt Lolo's House

April 19th, 2008

Austin, TX

Grace is seriously a born to be traveler. She loves to be on the go, just like her mom and dad. She loved visiting Austin for the time. Aunt Lolo was a generous host. I think Lolo held Grace more than her mommy. Gigi and Papi also came in town for the big visit to A. town. The weather was beautiful that weekend. We went on a walk then went to Shady Grove and sat outside for lunch. It was all around a fun weekend.

Thanks!!

Beach Babe....

April 8th - 13th, 2008

South Padre, TX
What a great trip! It was Grace's first time ever in the pool and in the ocean. It took her a little bit to get comfortable in the water but then she loved it! She was a good little beached babe.

Thanks to Tamy and Roger for a fun trip!

Just a Swing'n!

March 29th, 2008

Here is Grace in Tyler,TX. This was the first time for the Brumley grandparents to meet baby Grace. Grace loved her Great Uncle's famous backyard. She loved it so much that she fell asleep swinging. I bet she was in that swing for almost 30 minutes!

A Vision in White

Here is a picture of Grace from this past weekend in The Woodlands. She is holding herself up so well. We were of course very close to Grace just incase she fell. Mom was the one that helped us capture this photo. We had a really great time at the wedding we went to in Houston on Saturday. It was one of the most interesting weddings I have ever been to in my life. We went to Market Street Sunday afternoon and everyone said how pretty Grace looked in all white. I think this might be a picture that we might have to submit to some baby photo contest. Well we can't wait for you all to meet Grace. She is growing up so fast. We enjoy spending time with her everyday. It is so neat to see how she is growing up so fast.

Love to all,
Olivia, Ryan, and Grace (and Buffett)
