Back To School

Last January when Kylee was born I told myself all I had to do was get through the next four months until summer.  Surely by August, at six months of age, Kylee would be sleeping well and I'd be ready to get up and get Kendra going for school.  My expectations were way too high!

 

Megan wanted a turn:

 

 Bye baby Kylee!

Kendra's note in her lunch:

 

2nd day of school...look at that cute hair!  I should scan some photos from my school years...then you'd understand why I like Kendra's hair to be so cute!

 Every wonder how they get the google maps?

Dresser

Sometimes I just get itchin' to do something creative.

Oh you poor old ugly dresser, what shall I do with you? (This pic was taken from craigslist)




I had grand plans for you dresser; but you ended up a simple blue with sand colored handles:

 

So pretty.

Padre Island

We first headed to Schlitterbahns, the ultimate waterpark in San Antonio.  That place is HOT! 

 

Initially we got life vests for both girls so Kendra would be safe on the rides, but then she didn't want to go on any.  This place will be more fun when our kids are older.  We saw our neighbor's son there who just moved to Texas with his mom.  What are the odds.

Padre Island; my new favorite beach.  The weather is perfect, the water is warm and shallow, the sand is fine and soft, and it's in Texas.

 Wake Board:

 

 

 

 We found a dead fish!

 

 

This is how we park at a Texas beach. 

 

And another day at the beach:

 

Mark and I together for 5 minutes without kids!

Thanks Aunt Shoni and Uncle Robb for playing with the girlies.
