Random Summer Pics

 We have also spent several evenings at our neighborhood pool.  William insisted I take this picture at just the moment he hit the water.  It took a few tries...

 Westin about to....

 .......splash me!

 Putting the boys to work.  It's nice to have a little help with all the pool gear.

Spaghetti anyone?

Happy Memorial Day!

Last Day of Pre-school

William on his last day of pre-school at Freihite.  He will be going to a school closer to home next year that won't start quite as early and isn't 5 days a week.  We figure he will have 13 years of that 5 day of week thing. 

Schlitterbahn Summer 2012

 We have already made it to Schlitterbahn 3 times and each time it gets a little easier to take both boys.  By the advice of friends I have been able to figure out which areas are easiest to keep both boys safely entertained. 

 William in the car wash. 

 Westin is getting a little braver each day.  I'm not sure if this is good or bad.

 This was after the first trip to Schlitterbahn..pure exhaustion. 

Sleeper #2.  It was a great day.

1st Fiesta Event

Gabe and Nina invited us to our first Fiesta event.  It was the night parade with the lighted floats.  William had a great time!  I had no idea how popular this Fiesta event would be - people were packed in everywhere. 

Learning to Ride a Bike

 My big boy is learning to ride a bike.  He's had a few crashes, but we are working on the process. 

I am explaining the basics. 

 We are also learning how to maneuver the new rope swing.  William is a big fan of this swing.

Westin spends his time playing in the water table. 

Mother's Day 2012

 Westin is now 19 months old and learning new things every day.  We just had his check-up and everything looks great.  He is in growing taller and gaining weight as expected.  His vocabulary is growing by the day. 

 My precious William is 4 1/2.  He is learning to ride a bike and is currently interested in any kind of bug he can catch (especially rolly pollies). 

 My two precious gifts from God.  I am so proud to celebrate each Mother's Day with these two little guys. 

Our Crew - Spring 2012

Snake Farm

 William checking out some very large snakes.  

 Westin and the baby crocodile. 

 Mimi, Westin and Papa enjoyed their day at the Snake Farm in New Braunfels.  The weather was perfect for an outside outing with animals. 

 Papa and Westin watching the buffalo drink water. 

 The monkies were the biggest hit.  They reminded us of two little boys we know.

 No, no, no.....

 The goats were attacking William for the feed.  When I turned around they were trying to eat the bag. 

 Westin and I were admiring the turkey who was admiring the peacock.
