If you follow me on Facebook, you have probably seen all of these pictures and videos over the last couple of weeks or so. I feel like I've "discovered" my iPhone over the past six months, and lately I've been posting updates and photos to Facebook to the point where I probably need to abstain from ...

On Saturday afternoon, we decided to take an impromptu trip to Galveston with the kids, and we had a blast!
