Sea World San Antonio!

This past weekend we went with our good friends to San Antonio to Sea World and stayed at a gorgeous resort hotel with lots of water fun for the kids.

This is at the entrance waiting to get in.  The girls were so excited to be skipping school for this :-)

Me and the boys with Shamu!

SHARKS!!

Brad took the girls on a big roller coaster.  Only Cora agreed to go on a second time.  I think Isabelle liked it but is a little more like me when it comes to scary rides...

The whole crew (minus me behind the camera)

I think Clark was looking for cookies...

Clark went right up to Bert without any coaxing, it was the cutest dang thing I ever saw!

The whale show, so fun, we all got a little wet because of the seating choice, but had a great view!

I took about a hundred shots of everything, this was the best one

Tuckered out

Some more tuckered out

Aaaaand some more.  I also am tuckered out - with a little pneumonia on the side (not too bad, mostly not knowing what was ailing me bothered the most)

Feeding the dolphins! So glad Brad took this video because I had to bail to the car with a sleeping Clark and an ill self...

I've always loved this

Here's our little stinker in the bathroom, his favorite playroom.

























Isabelle and Soren being cute...












The girls ran the Tiger Fun Run at Klein Collins again this year. Soren tried also to participate... :-)

Spring already

Poor blog. It's been a busy couple of months, although I'm not sure what I have to show for it! Still putting our house together, keeping the kids busy and watching Clark chunk out into a nice solid toddler who has most certainly busted past his 50th percentile height and weight. It could just be my sore arms talking. We've had some visits from Auntie Erin and Nana! My mom hasn't been here since Clark was born, so it was so great to see her again and for the kids to get the time with her.

Mom just bought that coat she is wearing, and didn't think she'd have to actually wear it here! It actually got cold a bit for awhile...

Erin and the kids had a great time with the xbox kinect kids dance games. SO much fun!

"Hiking" in Pundt Park. And there's Soren's plastic sword stuck down his pants. Next time I'll be sure to equip him with a belt and sheath...

Christmas!

I keep forgetting I have a blog! So, here's our Christmas video:

Halloween

We actually made some decorations this year, after constant "encouragement" from the girls :-) Isabelle found many ideas from familyfun.com, which is where we got the instructions for these bats we made with little pumpkins. So much fun to make together, and looked great on our mantel. I also made the wooden pumpkins at a Relief Society Super Saturday.


And the costumes!! Everyone loved their costumes and had a lot of fun dressing up for the couple of parties we went to as well as trick-or-treating on the day... Soren was the cutest little batman ever, look at him on his trike in the last picture--he ditched it early on in the trick-or-treating as it slowed him down :-) Clark was the perfect little Superman. I plan to make that his costume every year until he figures out that other kids aren't always the same thing every year. How can I not? He's got Superman's name!

Some stuff

I ran my first half marathon!!! October 23. Here I am before the race with my running pals, Alison Morriss and Elena Rodriguez, my old neighbors. It was hilly and turned out to be a lot harder than my training had prepared me for! But I'm glad I did it, it was a great experience. I might stick with 10K races in the future :-)


Soren and Clark here, so cute! We go for bike rides sometimes around the lake in our subdivision and feed the ducks...

Cora is so cute here - she has lately been obsessed with multiplication. She'll write out on paper or chalkboard any ones she knows. They aren't teaching it yet in 1st grade of course, but she's been learning it from Isabelle!
