More from Texas

We went to the stockyards. The boys had more fun than we thought they would.

A stagecoach for two.

The cattle drive- we were told they brought out all the cattle for this big day! They looked so sad walking down the road.

And then they got thrown in the pokey.

Mecardo Juarez, mmmmm...

Since they weren't able to be in town for their birthdays. Adam and Christy had a party for them while we were there. This is the Superman cake Paul stayed up late to decorate. We decided not to go with a traditional Superman.

Saying goodbye.

Let's just plan on me catching you up for a while

Over the Thanksgiving break we went to visit Aunt Christy and Uncle Adam in Texas. We had a fantastic time. It was the boys first time to fly on a plane. They did really good except they were pretty tired when we landed at 10 pm and still had to get to Adam and Christy's house.

Ready to fly...

The next day we went to the zoo. Ahh, just look at the sunny day. I miss sunny warm days.

The meerkats were funny.

He was pacing pretty fast.

Somewhere in there is a rhino.

Next we went to the museum and had a picnic in the park.

And played football

and soccer

Then we went to the natuarl history museum. They didn't seem that excited to look at dinosaur bones.

But digging for them was lots of fun.

They both fit in a dinosaur footprint.

And of course swimming at the hotel pool.

There is more from our trip but I don't want to overwhelm you. I'll save them for next time.

New post for a new year

So, it is much overdue but my baby turned 4 years old! It seems like from the beginning he has been in a hurry to grow up. I am sure having an older brother has a lot to do with it but some of it is also just Benjamin. Here are pictures that remind me he once really was a baby.

His First Christmas

Such a happy baby!

One year old but still has the baby face.

I got lots of cute pictures of him this day.

Happy Again.

I am pretty sure he has grown 6 inches in the last month and gained 0 pounds.
This is at his birthday party-he had sooo much fun. However he has decided he does not like to eat cake. He only tried it because I took the frosting off of it. Notice the tiny bit he took and then prompltly threw away.

New post

So, you've probably been saying to yourself- My seventeenth favorite blogger hasn't posted in a while, I wonder what is going on? Well, the answer would be life. I have been taking pictures of our adventures and fun but I haven't had time to tell you about it. And, I really don't have time now either. :) So, all 9 of my loyal readers, I will post again. It just might be a little while. In the meantime, here are a couple of pictures to get you through these hard times. :)
