Boating with Friends!

June 30th, 2010

Chris and Dawndy invited us over to Chris’s parent’s house and we went out on their boat and went swimming in their pool and had a nice dinner.  Everyone had a great time.

She had no fear jumping into the lake!

Cousins!

The kiddos spent the night last Friday night so Niki and Dennis could celebrate their anniversary.

The next morning we went to Crown Center and visited the Clifford Exhibit.

Chris, Dawndy, Lilli & Luna joined us as well.  Here’s a pic of Grif and Lilli coloring.

There was a fundraiser/icecream thing going on.  They had children’s bands and bouncy houses.

Grif & Kate were huge helps with all the kiddos.

Breakfast with Aunt Brie

June 17th, 2010

We met Aunt Brie and Baby Atticus for breakfast at Ingredient.  Maya was excited to play in the fountains afterward.

Baby is 3 1/2 weeks old.

Welcome Baby Atticus!

Maya is very excited that her new baby cousin came out early!  He was born on May 22nd and weighed 6.7lbs.  He’s very sweet and just as much of a snuggler as Maya was.  Brie’s doing well and is even back to watching Maya while I work.

Daddy’s in love.

Proud Uncle Dustin.

Maya was a hit on the dance floor.  We couldn’t keep her under control so we gave up.

The wedding was beautiful.  Everything about it was perfect, congrats to Kyle & Jen, enjoy your honeymoon in France!

San Antonio, TX (Part 1)

June 1st, 2010

Dustin was in Kyle & Jen’s wedding this past weekend so we made a little vacation out of it.  Here we are on Day 1 (Dustin’s bday).  We stayed at a great hotel near SeaWorld.  Maya loves to ride the hotel carts.

They had a great pool with little fountains for the kids.

Day 2 of vacation we went to SeaWorld.  It was wonderful, we saw several great shows and Maya loved it.

Maya and Daddy got to feed the dolphins.

Twins are on the way

May 12th, 2010

Wait, are there two babies in that sonogram?

11 Week Sono

That’s right! We’re excited to say that twins are on the way with a late November due date. Since twins are usually early, it will most likely be the beginning of November. It will be another 4-8 weeks until we’ll be able to find out the gender.

We told Maya that we had a surprise for her and after we told her about the babies on the way, she continued to ask for her surprise, thinking she was getting a toy or something else. We’re not sure she completely understands it yet (she’s 2 1/2), but I’m sure she will soon (video below).

I guess it’s time to change the blog title and spruce it up a bit.

Maya wants an iPhone

May 3rd, 2010

Like all kids, Maya likes to play with mobile phones and electronic looking devices. We’ve given her our old mobile phones to play with and she always has a least one of them at her side.

Maya wants an iPhone. Why? To play monkey games.

She’s crazy for both the iPhone and iPad, and the Disney and Discovery Channel apps in particular.
