Let the games begin.....

Another season of soccer has begun. Madeline is on the Killer Bees this time, she is a very fast runner, and really is enjoying playing this year.
Mackenzie is on the Purple Pandas. The coach finally got smart this year and put Mackenzie and her friend Trista in at separate times. Mackenzie also loves to run, and is getting more aggressive. The 4's and 5's are the most fun to watch, most of them have a hard time with running and kicking the ball, but they are great entertainment.
Mackenzie is #3

Dolphin Watch

On Friday we went on a field trip to South Padre Island for a Dolphin Watch tour. We were able to take a boat ride for about an hour and we were really lucky to see quite a few dolphins. Mackenzie really loved the boat ride, and was very excited to eat her lunch on the boat.View from the back of the boat, the water was a little choppy at times, but thankfully it wasn't to warm out.
The only picture I could get of a dolphin

Some weird sea life the kids wanted to touch.

Field Trip

We also visited a hands on exhibit where they were able to hold all kinds of strange sea life.

Maddy and the starfish
Mackenzie and the sea cucumber- it looked really gross, but she wanted to hold everything.

Dare Devil

Micah really wanted to play fuse ball, and tried his hardest to get the ball out from the hole. He later fell off and hopefully learned his lesson.

Happy 9th Anniversary Ronnie!

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Micah has been all boy lately, keeping me very busy. Yesterday he fell head first down the stairs (16 in all), he has a little carpet burn on his face. Today he got out a box of vanilla wafers and dumped the whole box out, which I then gave him a lesson in cleaning up after himself.
First you throw them away
then you vacuum them up
and after you throw your lunch on the floor you have to sweep it up! Mom can't wait for my nap time today!

Easter

I had bought these dresses and found a matching outfit for Morgan, but the girls decided they couldn't wait for her to be born so they wore these last week for Church. Happy Easter!

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

Since it was spring break we decided to go to San Antonio for a few days. We of course went to Chipotle twice to eat (sad that we have to drive 4 hours to eat good food) We also decided to try Six flags Fiesta Texas. I do not recommend being 7 months pregnant and going to an amusement park. First it is so much walking, you can't ride anything, and naturally I got sunburned! But the rest of them had fun. Micah was trying his hardest to touch Pepe La Pu without having to get too close. Micah so wanted to drive, but they said he was too little, as soon as they got out of eye sight Ron switched places with him.
the girls favorite ride
Waiting a long time for the cars, at one point I think Micah was in a headlock with his daddy- he didn't want to wait his turn and kept running away.
Driving in the pink car

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

The train ride~ the only thing I was allowed to ride on. Ron was really good about taking the kids on the rides, normally I get to ride everything with them. A favorite of Micah's he loves to say horse!

Heat Wave

The pool opened last weekend so we told the kids when it warmed up they could go. Well today the thermometer read 105*! The water was a bit chilly, but they loved it anyway. Micah loved the little water spouts
Two little fish
Please can I stay forever!

YUM-YUM

So Micah is a true Texas baby, tonight at dinner he was begging for the bag of Cheetos so we let him dig in. he really enjoyed them and yelled when I took them away. (all children in Texas start eating Cheetos as soon as they start solid food-it's really disgusting!)

I wanna be......

an artist, or maybe a ball player
or something to do with computers, or
maybe I will build things, the possibilities are endless!
Maybe a model? I love the camera and never have clothes on in my pictures!

Party at Bath Junkie

Make a postcard - it's easy!

Mackenzie was invited to a birthday party at a place called the Bath Junkie~ definitely a girly-girl place. They were able to make their own bubble bath and lotion. Each were able to pick out there favorite scent and add it to the bath beads. It was alot of fun- and no place for a boy. Thus Micah spent most of the time confined to his stroller- way to much breakable stuff!

Make a slideshow - it's easy!

We went on a "field trip" to Klements Farm~ we took a hay ride through the orange groves, got to feed the animals, and at the end we each got a grapefruit and orange to take home. Micah was not real anxious to feed the animals, but he enjoyed the hay ride and was the only one to start throwing hay, he also kept throwing the oranges, as he thought they were balls.

Crazy hair and twin day

This week at school they are having different contests. For twin day Madeline and her good friend Camila were twins. Camila's mom bought them matching shirts, and they wore black skirts. Crazy hair day- well we did the best we could- Mackenzie has 6 ponytails in her hair.
Madeline ended up with 9 pony tails in her hair. She was so excited!
Silly sisters- we did a practice run the night before.
