San Antonio Vacation

We took our first summer family vacation last weekend and ventured to San Antonio to see our friends. Little Man and Ax were so excited to see Madison and Jordan. As soon as we arrived, we did the most authentic Texan thing and went to Chic-Fil-A... well, maybe not the most Texan thing. It was so fun watching the kids run and play and eat lots of ice cream right before bedtime:) But how can you resist with such a cute face like this???

While I was packing I thought that I should pack some "boy" toys like cars and muscle men, but what they really wanted to play with Madison and Jordan's cupcake set...

We had planned to go to Six Flags on Friday night, but after arriving at the park at 5:00pm we quickly noticed the park closed at 6:00pm. However, I don't think the kids cared because the mall nearby had a perfect jumping spot next to Cold Stone (yes, more ice cream right before bedtime). And for Jen and I they had a Buckle store for us to try on every pair of capris....

Check out these professional jump shots!

The second day we headed off to Sea World! The kids had so much fun and we attempted a group picture, at least the adults were looking in the right direction....

Alex was fascinated with Shamu and I loved seeing these cuties together in almost matching outfits.

We fed the dolphins at Sea World which was on the top list of favorite things. I thought the boys would be a little freaked out, but they did great. I may have been a little paranoid that they were going to fall in.... Nonetheless, it was so much fun and memorable!

Pure Happiness, the faces say it all...

The last day Little Man came down with a fever and stomache, so we stayed around the house until it was time to leave. He was a trooper and loved playing with the camera and attempting to smile real for the camera. Jordan has a true model smile and loved playing along....

I loved all the green outside and they have a perfect swing in the front yard!

Thanks Friends for a fanastic weekend. We love you and miss you bunches!

Awana Celebration Time

Little Man was in Cubbies this year for Awana and he loved every minute of it. He's not a big fan of new places (that's an understatement), especially when Mom isn't by his side, but he loved going to Awana. It was probably because he had a wonderful chaperon :) Thanks Kel!

During Cubbies, I realized what a sponge he is for God's word. I love hearing him say the verses and look forward to how God is going to use these in the future. Both Adam and I teared up seeing his name on the program (we are suckers, I know). He even sang on stage, which is A LOT more than he has done the past two years in his preschool Christmas program! Can you tell he is a little nervous???

Apparently when Little Man is nervous he likes to stick out his tongue and lick his lips... Neat trick.
Little Man loved being able to sit by Miles every week and enjoyed having Daniel in his class too. And it doesn't matter how old they are, it's still difficult to get them all to look and smile at the camera at the same time.

Little Ax really thinks he's one of the boys too, someone please tell him he has another year until he can be in Cubbies...
