Glass bottom river boat ride.

After the 4th of July, we went with our awesome cousins to an aquafer that was so clear from the underwater spring that you could see 28ft down into the water. It was beatiful.

Sand, Block Party, and Museum!

We've had a lot of fun the last couple of weeks.
Mara let of brothers bury her in the sand box! I guess she really trusts them.
The block party we had was awesome and my house was the place to be! We had a bounce house in the driveway, a snow cone machine on the sidewalk, the fire truck on one side, and the obstacle course on the other! This was our 1st annual HOA party so we went big. There were more fun and food too. There was a clown making balloon animals, free pizza and drinks, and basketball. Lots of fun!!!
We went to the Children's Museum on the kids half day. I love Sam's face in the mirrors!

Sam's new glasses

He looks so handsome.

Time to Catch Up..... Again.

Okay we're going to take a trip back in time, starting with today and going back to the holidays. I'm uploaded at Brent's work so it's MUCH MUCH MUCH faster. Sorry I haven't put much on here for a while. Okay, Let's get started!

We went to the zoo today. Here are my 4 monkeys. Mara was supposed to fold her arms and do "Do No Evil" but it's funny anyway.

We saw our cousins at the zoo too. Cute Capuchan.

We got really close to some animals. Black Bear.

Montrous Pig

Lion 1

Lion 2

I did not zoom in on any photo.

We got some bags of food to feed some animals. This goat practically kissed me!

I taught them how to hold their hands flat so they wouldn't get their fingers bit off.

Ready for a egg hunt! Video wouldn't load.

Bluebonnet pictures. If you live in Texas, you HAVE to do this!

Kenneth.

Evan trying not to smash them.

Mara likes to talk to flowers.

Sam is too darn cute!

We went to a small park with a lot to explore. Me and my girl.

Boys love to be on top of rocks!

Closest we ever got to a live armadillo. Walked right in front of us. Their supposed to be nocturnal.

My crew posing for me. I love my family.

This is a nice place.

Kenneth won 2nd place at the Regional Science Fair! WOO HOO!

Sam's birthday party with a few friends.

9 years old.

His first Pinewood Derby. He did really well.

Brent wanted sugar cookies for his birthday cake. He was so happy.

Wishing he could eat them.

My family rocks. I got 2 birthday parties. I got to see my sibs, because my Awesome grandma Norma passed away. I'll miss her a lot. Last summer when I saw her she told me nothing brings people together like a funeral. Well it brought all of us together, she was right, and my sibs threw me a surprise party in the hotel. Love you all and I miss you Grandma.
Back home with my kiddos who worked really hard on my cake. Thank you.

Back to Christmas! It was an awesome year. check out the videos too.

Precious Treasure.

Christmas with his broken foot. He still had a great time.

Mara and Daddy.
This is the kids with their Great Grandpa Wheeler at Thanksgiving. We went up for I short trip, too short. Hopefully we can see everyone again soon.




Battle between good and evil.

Wrestling daddy out of bed Christmas morning. In the end, I flipped the mattress over and got him off. They really need to work together. This is a tradition that carries onto this generation. Brent use to wrestle his dad out of bed on Christmas when he was a kid.

Sliding down rocks and Mayfield park.

The Little Matching Girl

Mara and her Cabbage Patch dolls got a few matching outfits over the holidays. So cute!

Crutches for Christmas

Two days before Christmas and our monkey Evan decides to jump off the couch and kick the door. He was trying to kick off the door and land back on the couch, but instead he heard a pop, felt a lot of pain, landed on his back, and knocked the wind out of himself. One trip to the ER showed us a buckle fracture on his left foot. He'll be wearing this for a while, and he'll have to wait to play with some of his gifts until after his foot heals.

A NEW CAARRRRR! and an ELEVEN YR OLD!

Oh My Goodness! He has gotten so big, it makes me want to cry. I made his cake with sour candy. He loved it, and he loves that king crown too. We gave him his own key to the house, and some other things. By his next b-day, he will be as tall as me.

We GOT A NEW MINIVAN! 2011 Kia Sedona. We will be driving it until it dies! Needs to last at least 10 years.
