Visit from Nana and Papa, Part 1

Back in February, Nana and Papa came down for a week for Auntie N and Uncle J's temple sealing and to visit all of us. We had a blast with them! We love having visitors!!

This one is my favorite! (And, I took it. Yay, for me!....Now I just have to figure out how to edit it just right.)


After the sealing, we all drove up to Driftwood and had dinner at The Salt Lick BBQ. YUMMY!!! I love that place and that's why we went there because I suggested it. I'm glad my family goes along with all my crazy adventurous whims. (It took about an hour or so to get there from the temple, I think. It's a really pretty, scenic drive, though, through Hill Country.)


While Nana and Papa were down, we also went down to Padre Island and went to the beach. I think it was the perfect time to go because it wasn't hot and wasn't crowded. We were able to just walk up and down the beach, playing in the water and collecting sea shells. The kids LOVED it!

The kiddos had a fabulous time playing in the water and running from the waves. It was entertaining to watch them play.







I love how the water is splashing up and hitting Tink in the bum, especially since she is trying to run from it.





These two had a blast playing together!

I just like the view of this picture.



Almost all of us


After we went to the beach at Padre Island, we stopped at the USS Lexington museum on our way home. Those pictures will be in the next post.

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 ...
