Just Tubein'

What's taking you so long, Daddy??

Taking it easy with the little man

Our friends Jeff and Julie invited us to go boating with them this past Sunday. It was the first time the kids have been on a boat, and they had a blast. JP giggled like a madman when he put his hand in the wake beside the boat. When we put the tube in the water, Julia was dying to get in the water. JP....not so much. He would have climbed on top of Roger's head had he gotten a foothold. We docked for a picnic lunch and headed home in the early afternoon. Definately a great time had by all and we hope to go again soon.

They call me The Fireman

We went to the Fire Expo at Dallas Convention Center this past weekend. They had several antique fire engines on display. One of the exhibitors was nice enough to let the kids get in the seat and let JP crank the siren. Definately the highlight of the day for our little fireman!

We were coming home from a dinner out and I took off my shoe and put it on the window to enjoy the breeze. I looked in the side mirror and saw that Julia had done the same. Like Mommy, like Daughter. Little sweetie!

The Zoo

Ever had a bird on your head?
















Ride'em kangaroo-girl!
















All Aboard!










Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa, the kids got to go their first trip to the zoo. The kids have become interested in trains, so we thought we'd ride the DART train to the zoo since it drops you off at the door now. When we got there, our first stop was the aviary. We bought some seed-on-a-stick for the kids to feed the birds. As soon as we walked in one of the birds landed on Julia's head. She didn't know it was there at first, but soon realized it and WAS NOT HAVING IT! She was sooo upset the bird was on her head, but now she tells us the story and laughs about it. There was also a great play area that has a wading creek and playground. JP thought it was fun to pretend to be a spider on the big rope web. Now that it's cooled off, we're going to make a couple more trips there this year. Fun times!

The Little Mommy

Julia has finally become interested in dolls, and she is such a good Mommy! On this night she told me that her baby was going to sleep with her so she could take care of her if she got scared. She also keeps telling me that when she goes to heaven she wants to help Jesus take care of all the little babies. Aaawwwwww!
