The Reynolds Bed and Breakfast

The first weekend in October we drove to San Antonio for my friend Shelby's wedding. Our amazing friends, Ryan and Paige Reynolds, were going to be out of town that weekend and offered their house as a place for us to stay. We were so grateful for their generosity and hospitality!!! I wasn't surprised at all though. They are some of the most selfless people we know. We slept in their beds, cooked in their kitchen, watched their tv, played with their toys.....it couldn't have been a better place for us to comfortably stay for the weekend. Traveling with kids and being in new places is sometimes stressful for me because I want to make sure that all their needs are met and that things go smoothly...and they did! Thank you so much to the Reynolds family for opening up your home to us!

Right as we pulled up they were about to leave town so we saw them for about 10 minutes before they left. We planned to stay an extra day though so we could spend some time with them when they got back home.

As you can see from the pictures we totally made ourselves at home. Probably pretty awkward for Paige and Ryan to see us camped out in their house and using their things while they were gone but they insisted we did and we complied....

Watching a movie in Hannah's chair and snuggling up to her Minnie Mouse

Such a happy guy to be able to roam and play with toys!

Sibling love



On Saturday night my mom, stepdad, and Brianna drove in from Corpus to watch the kids for us while we went to the wedding. Here's to more awkwardness Paige...

Pictures in Ray's bed

We were so happy to have the Reynolds come home on Sunday so we could hang out and let the kids play together.

Ray showed Ava how he plays the piano...
They jumped in their indoor bounce house! How cool is that?!

We spent some time playing in the backyard...

Such a gentleman pushing Ava up the hill


Adorable Hannah

Good thing Kay Kay brought Connor this dinosaur hoodie and pants....it got chilly!


Princess Ava in her castle
Ray is seriously cute! He asked to watch their Cold Play DVD and much to my surprise he picked up  his guitar and played along and sang every single word to their songs. Very impressive and so so cute to watch!


Ava became best buds with their dog Bella. She was so sweet to her and just kept give her lots of hugs and pets. 

Ava and Ray quickly became good friends as well. They had so much fun playing and being silly together. Wish we lived closer to these sweet friends...


I'm so mad at myself for not getting a single picture of Paige and I or any pictures from Shelby's beautiful wedding! :(

Thanks again Ryan, Paige, Hannah, and Ray for a wonderful stay at your "Bed and Breakfast" and also for my mom, David, and Bri for driving so far to watch the kids!!! Love you guys!

They are so wonderful to have done that for you guys! But I too am not surprised, because they are so great and because y'all are so great! : ) That Connor is getting so big and is sooooo cute Vaughanie! I miss him! And that is pretty funny about the way Ray is such a music guy already! Our boys will have a sweet and "cool" older guy to look up to!
