Sea World

End of August we spent a day at Sea World enjoying all the water features the park had to offer. It was a super fun day!!!

First Day of School

August 23rd was the first day of school! I can't believe we have a 2nd grader and a Kindergartner this year! They were both so excited to start and have been loving school so far. The house has been so much quieter with just the little two at home. It has been nice to have one on one time with Timmy, I haven't really ever had that. We've been working on letter and number recognition. Some days he's into, others he just wants to play though. Oh well!

The Magic Time Machine

While the kids were in Dallas...we got to go on a fun double date +1 (Elly). Laura & Doug came down to pick up our old washer & dryer. Laura had been telling Doug about The Magic Time Machine, so we went. We had Indiana Jones for a waiter, Dora the explorer told us a hilarious joke, and saw many other characters. Dave got sang to for a late bday, and best of all Dave was pulled in by the staff to "perform" a happy bday song and dance to another group in our section...my little buttercup...it was loads of laughs!!!

Another Trip, Houston this time

August was the month of travels! After Dallas, and after Bryan, but still before school started we took one last road trip for the summer. We had a lot of fun just hanging out with Mom, Dad, Laura, & Doug. We played, we did a bunch of swimming, saw some family friends, and just had a really good time. Oh and sometime in early August Elly's oxygen changed from all the time to just at night... so she was finally cord free during the day, allowing her to go swimming for the first time! She really liked the water!

Tummy Time

While at Mom & Dad's we put this mat down for Elly to have tummy time, and Willie the cat thought he'd join in on the fun! Elly didn't seem to mind as they played together for quite awhile.

Safari

While in Houston Dad took us to a Safari Park. We rode a tram and saw all sorts of animals. We had buckets of feed that they would come and eat. At the end there was a petting zoo, and horse rides for the kids. It was a one of a kind, super fun outing! Thanks Daddy!

Forgot One

Before the small road trip to Bryan we did one to the Dallas area. Our nephew was being blessed and we were able to go be there for it. It was really fun to see so much family! In the last year we have become an Aunt and Uncle to our two cute nephews, but with all that has been happening we haven't been able to see them much. So this weekend trip was a great opportunity to really play with these little guys! At the end of the weekend the kids weren't ready to leave, and since it was still summer the 3 oldest ones stayed and played a little longer with Nana & Papa.
