Day 534

Caleb had to decorate a mask for school. It was supposed to be a family project, so the whole family got involved. Samantha left some stickers on the art table and Hannah found them. Hannah walks up to me and says, "Momma! Look me!!!" So cute!!!! Of course that evening Samantha was trying to round up all those jewel stickers.

Day 533

Day 2 at Sea World started early! The night before was LATE, so I was tired...kids don't understand sleeping in though. We were in the park before it officially opened. The dolphins were playful AND hungry. We headed there first and beat the crowd. The dolphins were jumping after their fish!

Here are some dolphin photos. Josh was waiting for with Hannah and Caleb for me to buy the fish.




Caleb wanted to ride this little coaster, so we headed over there. I missed the picture of him with his arms up. He is finally starting to like rides!
Dolly the Dolphin dressed up like a princess....Josh ignored us while I took this photo. I think he was afraid I was going to ask him to join. LOL
We also got to feed the Sea Lions. They will do tricks for their fish!
Awwww, sweet girls!
Ahhhhh..... Caleb!!!!
The boys got their picture with "Jack"

Caleb wanted his picture with this skeleton. I missed taking a picture of the Village People group of skeletons....
The kids watching the daytime Shamu show

Day 532

Day 1 at Sea World--

I know, we go to Sea World all the time! This was for Caleb's birthday...sort of and because they were having special Halloween things. We got a late start because Samantha had a soccer game, but no biggie. All the special activities started late anyway. Here are the kids with the "Bones Brothers"...later they came to life and started singing and telling jokes. It was hilarious.

Hannah was reading her map trying to decide what she wanted to do next.
We saw a bird.
Then this HUGE turtle that walked really fast. It was coming straight for Hannah. She jumped out of the way when it got near...even though there was a fence there.
Say cheese!
In line for Trick or Treat Street....
After an eternity in line I realized the cones looked like candy corns. LOL
Hi horse!

Here is "Jack" during the "Shamu's Hallowscream show" It was a really good show too. Lots of singing, dancing, and the whales of course!

Here is a video of the "Jack is Back" show at closing time---gotta pause the playlist if you want to listen to this

Day 531

This was catch up on laundry day! I had been doing laundry all week, but never managed to get a full load folded. I also had to get all our clothes clean for our weekend trip to Sea World. Everyone was helping out with picking up the house, except Caleb. He went and hid. He hid so well that he fell asleep. I found him while folding laundry!
Of course after I get all caught up on the laundry Josh goes and digs for crawdads in the ditch. His arm is ALL the way down a hole!

Day 530

Today (Thursday) we went to visit Aunt Betty. Hannah had a grand time chasing a cat. We finally managed to get her IN the house and Uncle JC gave her a balloon to occupy her. She had lots of fun playing with it. She also didn't realize the balloon gave her away when she tried to hide from us!

Day 529

Here are the kids recording Christmas Angels for the cd. How cool is that???????

Day 528

Tuesday we had Donnie's birthday dinner/Uncle Jimmy's farewell dinner. We went to Cafe Adobe for some good ole tex mex. Here is the whole crew...minus me---the photographer.

Day 527

Monday was Monday! Apparently I don't have a photo...at least not one I can find. The only one I have is of Hannah's eye and that will be on her blog later....or tomorrow. :)

Day 526

Day 2 of the reunion! Again I am avoiding picture overload. I will say this day included many adults hula hooping and other than one cousin I was the youngest. :) If you are not on facebook and would like to see those photos contact me and I will send them. It was a ball and well honestly I wish I would have video taped it! I did include a few of Marc since most of you know him. Can ya' tell how funny it was????? The trip did include one mishap...Hannah has a nasty black eye. That story will be in her blog later...really later, so don't go clicking right away!!!!! If you notice on the right side of the screen down a little ways there is a "blogs I read" section. It will update shortly after I update there. I have a few things to do this afternoon, so it may be tonight or even tomorrow. I will say, we are still calling her "Spot"...it is that bad.

Her is Marc....laugh away!

This is the only time the hoop did a full circle around his body.
Uncle Buster and Samantha
Caleb and some of his cousins
Hannah got on stage and started to sing and dance
Josh won some slime stuff in the drawing.

Day 525

Day 1 of the family reunion! I really did try to not do a picture overload this time, especially since ALL of them are on facebook this year! For details about the town you can go back to this post. The reunion was fun, but the crowd was so much smaller this year. My time seemed to be spent keeping track of Hannah. Now on to the photos...cause that is all ya want to see anyway. :)

Josh

Marc and Uncle JC listening to the UT/OU game
Yup, they are playing catch in a tree....this is the same tree Caleb got stuck in on Sunday.

Day 524

Friday afternoon while I was trying to finish packing up for our trip to Central Texas for a family reunion Samantha tried to teach Caleb how to jumprope....it didn't go over well....
