Cute Braids

Caleb and Caroline both got their hair cut this week. After Caroline got her hair cut the lady did braids in Caroline's hair. I was telling Nana all about it and how much Caroline loved it and she insisted I post pictures on the blog! So, here are some pics of my sweet girl with her braids! I need to learn how to do them myself---anyone want to teach me?

 
 
 

Going Away Party

Last weekend we had Uncle Bradley and Aunt Molly, Uncle Tommy and Aunt Tamara and all of the cousins over to grill out and play in the water! They are all moving soon so we wanted to have them over one last time! The kids loved playing in the pool and on the slip 'n slide. Once it was time for dinner, most of the backyard was wet so we let them have a picnic in the living room and put on the Cars movie! We had already moved the rugs (b/c of potty training) so it worked out great! All of the kids were so quiet during dinner and the adults enjoyed a nice dinner and we were actually able to talk to each other!

We are so sad to see our fun aunts, uncles, and cousins move away from us but know that God has great things in store for them! We can't wait to see everyone again soon!

 

Hanky Panky Party House

One more picture I forgot to post....

We were driving through town one morning while visting Nana and saw this lovely establishment. Brett and I couldn't stop laughing and had to get a picture of the Hanky Panky Party House! 

 

San Antonio-Day 3 & 4

On Wednesday and Thursday we pretty much did the same thing...had a lazy morning, went to the pool, beach area, and lazy river, had lunch, took naps, and then went back out to the water. On Wednesday night they showed The Lion King so we sat out on the lawn, enjoyed some popcorn, and watched the movie. Caleb and Caroline thought watching a movie outside was so fun! Thursday night we went out to dinner and then had ice cream (Caroline and I) and chips (Caleb) at the park! 

Friday morning we ate breakfast and then got on the road for our long ride home. We had such a great week and really enjoyed seeing Caleb and Caroline have so much fun. They keep asking me about Shamu and about floating on the lazy river again! 

So, this week we're back to reality and have started potty training! 

Here are some pics from days 3 & 4. I think Caroline is sad b/c she doesn't want to walk through the sand to get to the water! Also, notice how sweaty and dirty Caleb looks in the last picture! He had been playing at the park and was eating Doritos!

 
 
 
 

San Antonio--Day 1 and 2

On Monday morning we left Nana T's and headed for Sea World in San Antonio. When we got there our camera stopped working (we realized later is was the battery) so, we have no pictures of our day at Sea World. We did have a great time and Caleb and Caroline loved all of the animals--especially the dolphins and Shamu. 

After a long day at Sea World we headed to the hotel to check in and then went for a quick swim. The kids were exhausted so after dinner we had baths and then they went to sleep.

On Tuesday morning, after a yummy breakfast, we played at the hotel park and took a nature walk. Then, we went to the pool and stayed there until after lunch. After lunch we had to say good bye to Nana. We were so happy she was able to join us for part of our trip! 

The rest of the day we spent swimming and playing. We took a horse carriage ride and then went out to dinner that night. When we got back from dinner we had some smores. Brett and I loved them, Caroline liked the chocolate, and Caleb enjoyed the graham cracker!

Here are a few pictures from our first day at the hotel....

 
 
 
 

Visit with Nana T

Last week we headed down to spend a few days with Nana T. We got there on Friday night and met Nana, Mudder and Pappa (Brett's aunt and uncle) for dinner and then went back to Mudder and Pappa's house for some delicious strawberry cake! On Saturday we went to the park, went out to lunch, let the kids swim in the pool, and enjoyed realxing around the house. On Sunday we hun out at Nana's house and then after naps we all went over to Gigi and Pops (Brett's other aunt and uncle) for some hamburgers. We had a great weekend and loved getting to see everyone!

 
 
 
 

Children's Museum

Yesterday we went with some friends to the Children's Museum. Chloe got to ride with us and Caroline and Caleb thought that was so fun! The museum had lots to do and see and the kids loved it! I was exhausted after chasing them around all morning but we had a great time with our friends!

Thankfully, Courtney brought her camera b/c I totally forgot mine! Here are some sweet pics she took....

 
 
 
 

Bahama Buck's

On Tuesday night we went to Bahama Buck's with the Christianson's.  We had yummy snow cones and let the kids run wild for a while! It was a fun way to spend an evening! Thanks to Courtney for the great pics!

 
 
 
 

Happy 3rd Birthday Sweet Caleb and Caroline!

Today my little munchkins turn 3 years old! I really don't know how that happened...it seems like just yesterday that they were born! 

Both of them woke up very excited that today was their actual birthday. They both asked about having a party today and I had to remind them that they had one on Saturday! But, they were happy that Nana, Amy, Maddie, and Emma came over to play, go out to lunch, and go the park to feed the ducks and eat cupcakes! 

Your mommy and daddy love you more than you can imagine and we know that this year is going to be so much fun!

Here are some pics from their 1st and 2nd birthdays and then a couple we took before their party on Saturday.
