SEA WORLD!

Yay!!! We finally were able to take the kiddos to Sea World. Teeny was super-excited to see the Orcas. (She watches Go Diego Go.) It was so much fun to see the shows and all the animals. It was even more entertaining to watch the kids reactions to everything. We have some pictures that turned out pretty well, but I am convinced that if I hadn't left our camera at home, we would have more and better pictures. (We ended up renting a camera that isn't as nice as ours, but it served its purpose.)


Surprise!!!! We're going to Sea World!




Teeny being a goofball and ready to see the Orcas




Monster's ready to see the fishies, sharks and whales




Lil Chicky all ready to go to Sea World

All of us watching the fishes--If you click on this one, you can see Monster in his ready-to-run stance. He did that a lot that day. He loves to run!

Pre-show entertainment--There were all these little platforms that had fountains that would spray at different times. This guy would get sprayed randomly. Then he decided to try to stop the water from spraying and end up soaking the audience. It was quite amusing!

So, I'm sure you're wondering why I have a picture of one of the trainers cuz that's not at all interesting. Well, in this picture, she is actually explaining to the audience that the show got delayed while they tried to re-focus a particular male dolphin. (It is mating season, and there are 6 females and 2 males in the show. I'm sure you can figure out why he needed re-focusing. ;)



Dolphin "swimming" backwards (Random side note: We also saw them swimming upside down under water, but I guess we didn't get pictures of that.)



I like how the Beluga looks so human-like in this picture.



Dolphin during the Azul show--I loved watching them jump out of the water and do tricks. They're so beautiful!



Teeny really wanted to go on this little ride, so I decided to take her and Monster. It was nice and relaxing. (You have to click on this picture to see the look in Monster's eyes. It's priceless!)



Penguins (In case you can't tell. ;) A sign said it was 27 degrees in there! Burrr!!!



Afton and me after the Shamu show--You can't really tell, but we were both pretty wet. We almost didn't make it into the last show of the day, and the only seats we found where we could all fit was the second row of the Splash Zone. Needless to say, we weren't able to get any pictures of the whales or the splashing for fear of ruining the camera.

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
