Memorial Day Weekend in Houston

So we decided to take a last minute trip down to Houston for the 3 day weekend to spend some time with Sam's family. Many of his siblings were coming into town and we didn't want to miss the party! The flight was pretty tricky with a 1 year old. And I think tricky is actually an understatement. It was the first time since Ivy was about 6 months old that she has been on a plane and it was veeerrryy different from when she was that age, lol! She isn't a huge fan of sleeping in our arms anymore (at all!) so we had to get pretty creative with keeping her preoccupied without getting super cranky. Gummy bears saved the day for the last chunk of it, I'll just say that. haha! Here is a pic of her literally 20 seconds after getting in Jeff's car after our flight. She was pooped!

Dancing with cousins! Ivy had so much fun getting hyper with Sydney and Jessie. She just loves them!

We had a couple visitors on Saturday before the huge crowd of Robinsons arrived, Tiffany and Kynlee came to play! Ivy had a blast with her new friend. It was so fun seeing them finally able to play together. These two will be besties for sure. ;) such cuties:

My child is not photogenic haha..

Finally the party all came into town! Pretty sure we went swimming 3 times that day. Sam decided to go festive that afternoon:

Ivy was in love with this bear. She kept wrestling it. And also, had to get a silly shot with my girls:

Sunday afternoon, takin' a break with dad after being around soo many cousins, lol:

On Monday we drove up to spend the day at Dad's house at Lake Conroe. Ivy strangely woke up with a high fever that morning and pretty much wanted to sleep the whole day (which was fine by me!). Seriously. She napped on the way up, was still tired when we got there so I put her back down and she slept for 2 more hours, THEN took another long nap that afternoon. I think she was teething. Her gums seemed pretty swollen and the fever was gone by the evening. Strange. But it was nice to be able to spend some time swimming and boating with everyone.

Cranky girl waiting with Jesse while mama was getting dressed. Jesse was her favorite person for giving her a yummy sucker. :) She was one happy girl after that:

Finally a boat ride for some mabling and wake surfing before we left. Ivy was asleep during this so she didn't get a chance to ride on the boat. No worries though, Lake Powell is just in a few weeks!

Wavy hair from the morning humidity. Just had to include a pic because it was so cute:

I'm kinda bummed I didn't get more pics of everyone who was there but it was so fun to spend time family who we haven't seen in a while. Especially Patrice and Amy and their families. I'm glad we were able to see yall before we head out to TN! And thanks so much to Jeff and Michelle for everything! Yall are so awesome!
