Too Cute To Skip

This is Jacob's favorite thing right now. This horse has 6 different songs that it plays and he loves that he can finally climb on it and rock! He's so fun!

Champion

This year, Josh attended the 1st grade bike rodeo. And like the good husband he is, he took lots of pictures for me! Ethan did great (this was his first year without training wheels) and even won 2nd place! So proud!

Maze and Missing Teeth

Today we headed out to the Hondo corn maze with our best friends. We hit the maze first and I have to say, we are either a bunch of lazies or dummies! We couldn't find our way out of either phase of the maze! After exiting the 1st phase from the ENTRANCE, we decided to give it another go in the 2nd phase. We were all so hot  by this time and Josh and I were both tired of carrying Jacob, that we gave up again and headed for the ENTRANCE. We were desperate for a breeze! We let the kids play on the fun stuff for a bit, took a hayride to pick some pumpkins, then let them ride the tractor train. We were pretty beat by then and decided to head home. We stopped for some Sonic drinks, and while waiting, Ethan pulled out his loose tooth!! So excited for my big boy...and he can't be more excited about what he'll find under his pillow in the morning!!

Here he is with his first lost tooth! They grow so fast!

Port Aransas Beach Trip 2012- Day 1

*Note* There a LOT of photos on the next few posts!!

It is finally time for our family vacation..yes, in September. Two reasons: 1. It was the 1st available time we could all get together and 2. It was way cheaper to go after Labor Day. So Ethan played hookie from school and we and the Ebroms left pretty early Friday morning to head to the Aquarium. The kids had a blast! After, we met Chris and Ashley for lunch and then headed to the ferry. Once we were checked in at our house we waited for the Harrisons before going to the beach. Despite the chilly wind, we had a great first day on the beach!

The kiddos could not wait to get to the water! I snapped this shot of their first impressions of the chilly water!



Unfortunatley, Jacob wasn't walking exclusively yet, so he was on the sand a bit. Not much though. I guess he got his parent's dislike for the sand!

 Jacob didn't like the water much, but Josh was determined to take him out in it anyway.

Busy building a sandcastle

Ainsley played here almost the entire evening!

This picture cracks me up! Jacob got his diaper wet so Josh took him to the water to rinse off!

Mike was so happy to finally get the kite up!

And the boys
