Nana and Papa's Visit, Part 2

I didn't want to make the last post any longer than it already was, so I decided to put the rest of the pictures from Nana and Papa's visit on this post. So, here are the pictures from the USS Lexington Museum in Corpus Christi.

The kids enjoyed pretending they were shooting the guns.




 
All five of the grandkids in birth order, which is obviously not size order.

Love this picture!

This was pretty neat to be able to walk "the plank." They had a sign about what these really were. I think they might have been something that was added when they retired the ship and made it a museum, but I can't remember.
 

 
Tink loves getting her picture taken and almost always poses.
 

 
Daddy being, well, Daddy.
 

 
They threw us in the Brigg! (I absolutely love Skinja's facial expression!)

 
 

 
We also took Nana and Papa to the San Antonio Zoo. So, here are a few pictures from there.

I find this picture fascinating.
 

 
Okapi--looks like a mix between a zebra and a giraffe

All the animals were sleeping/resting when we went. It was rather warm that day, especially for February.

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 ...
