Help me support the National MS Society!

This October I am riding in the National MS Society’s MS 150 Ride to the River.  I have done this ride for several years and it is always a great time.  However, the real reason I continue to enjoy and support this ride is because of the support given to the National MS Society.  I believe in the work they do and want to be an active part of it.

Thank you for supporting me and the National MS Society and I am looking forward to counting you as a sponsor for my ride!

Thanks & Gig 'EM!

How to train a whale

From our SeaWorld trip today, a behind the scene’s look at how to train a killer whale.  I always wondered how they did this.

Grandma also got the kids some fish so they could feed the dolphins.

And he was finally tall enough to ride his first real rollercoaster!

Kiddie Park

Today the kids and I met some friends down at the Kiddie Park.  It may not look like much, but the kids always seem to have a great time.  It’s also a neat adventure to teach them a little history about the area.  The Kiddie Park has been around since 1925 and the Carousel was even featured on a postage stamp in the 80’s apparently. 

Here they are living it up on some “old-fashioned” carnival style rides….

Driving the boat!

Shooting the bad guys!

Shooting his sister!

Riding the WILD & CRAZY bus and  more boat action with friends!

All in all is was a fun day at the Kiddie Park.  The summer sun stayed behind the clouds just long enough for us to enjoy the morning on the rides, share a picnic lunch with friends and one last round of rides before heading home.

Kids in the Kitchen

We’ve been having a hard time getting Dalton to eat much of anything the last few weeks.  So to encourage him to eat, I thought I would let the kids create their own dinner earlier this week.  We had some dipping sauce left overs from pizza the other night, cheese galore from a dinner party we hosted over the weekend, some pepperoni the kids were tiring of for lunches and after some rummaging, decided a can of biscuits could serve as the crust. 

What’s more fun that making your own personal little pizzas?!?

Chef Addie

Chef Dalton

Addie’s finished work!

Dalton’s finished work!

Enjoying some yummy dinner!

Both kids loved making dinner.  Addie helps often, but I’m pretty sure Dalton would be fine if food were an option on most days.  Having him help seemed to do the trick on this particular night.  I guess I’ll have to come up with more ideas of having him help in the future. 

Little Chef

Our little resident chef.

Whoa! Nice Kitty!

The nice jaguar at the San Antonio zoo.  He loves kids. 

Naptime

Addie was being a little fussy this afternoon, so I sent her to go take a nap.  After about 30 minutes of silence, I went to check on her. 

This is what I found…..

I guess I did not specify she had to be in her bed or even in her room.  Where should a princess take her nap?  Well in her castle of course!

Man’s Best Friend?!?

Uncle Tyler came to visit earlier this week.  I’m afraid the dogs have found their new best friend….traitors!
