It's been a long time



Kenna receiving her end of the year awards. She took home the first place trophy in the entire second grade for talent in math! She received a medal for top in her class for math!




Perfect attendance/conduct/AR points, can't remember....



Jack and his Buddha belly in his swim trunks



This is my lizard who lives outside. I named him JJ. I'm not sure if he's albino or what, but he's been around for awhile. He left for a little over a week recently, and I was worried we'd killed him with pesticide, but I saw him last night, so all is well!








My poor, poor van....I do not recommend trying this at home....It's been 29 days and counting, and they still aren't done fixing it....I miss my van.









As you can see, the person I hit had VERY little damage....grrr...








The outside of the Great Wolf Lodge in DFW. The red and yellow is a ride that is AWESOME!!!! (Kenna does NOT recommend this ride, in fact, she hates it)








Large bucket of water dumping......






One of the kids' areas






Jack chilling in the stroller






Kenna





Another ride, personally, I liked this one the best....






A couple of the slides. I don't think the picture does it justice. Can you tell how high those stairs are? I climbed them at least 8 times to ride rides.







Nic and Katrina





Lobby





One of the wolves on the outside (obviously)






This is barely half of the park, one of the kid areas and the wave pool....yes, a wave pool indoors....







It really was not nearly cold enough to be sitting by a fire, but, what the hey?







Jack gnawing on a biter biscuit during K's awards










Here is her trophy



































I forget what I was trying to do with my camera, but Jack kept getting in the way...it was kinda cute, so I kept the pictures.











Little Chunk







Another biscuit picture....he wasn't too thrilled to be stuck in the stroller

America's Next Top Model

So here we are on Sunday morning, taking pictures before my Dad leaves, and Kenna says to me, and I quote, " Mom, take a picture of me posing." What I say??? "Posing," she says, "like on America's Next Top Model." So I obliged. Here are Kenna's best "Top Model" looks....I think we've got our work cut out for us!









May 3rd, A big day!

It is official. Jack is now mobile...okay, semi-mobile, he's still trying to get the hang of it...He thinks he should be walking instead of crawling...too funny to watch!




Up on all fours!




OK, taking a breather...




Up again!




And away he goes!







What to do in Texas on a beautiful Saturday

As odd as this may sound, one of my favorite memories with my Dad would be when he would tie me to a chair and then I would try to get out. Then of course, I would get to tie him up....for some reason, I never was able to tie him up for more than a few seconds. So, since Dad was here this weekend, we all tied each other up.

Kenna had a blast, and although the pictures aren't showing it, I assure you that she had her turn to tie us all up as well....



Trying to get a pic of Dad, Jack and Kenna....Jack was more interested in the fact his sister was in a tree I think.




Jack wasn't interested in looking at me at all!




Arg! She's tied to a chair!






The grin says it all...she was having so much fun knowing that not one of us could tie her up and keep her there for more than a few seconds!





Kenna tried to play chess with Dad....here she is concentrating....





Kenna and her "Pa"
