Riding Bikes

every night we go to get the mail and the kids love to take that walk. most of the time they ride the bikes. so here they are on are small ride to the mailbox.

Flying High

just about every night when john is home, him and the kids play on the ground. as soon as john lays on the ground, the kids jump on him like a moth to a flame. so after some rough house playing, this is what they do. john throws them in the air and they have a blast. here are some pictures of the kids in action.

some more in the air pictures...

the kids just resting between throws

andon shows off his standing abilities

Going For a Ride

we went to a wildlife museum the other day and in the back, they had a playground with these old historic vehicles. the kids had fun playing on them. this is a 1952 fire truck and the kids climbed all over it.

they loved to pretend to drive

mikenna is standing on top of it

we had to pull andon away from the wheel, he loved it

just a side view with the kids in the front

they are in the front again and andon is at the wheel again

this is a caboose of a train that was there as well

these are seats that had bars around them and you had to climb a ladder to get to

here is the back and mikenna's hangin on

The Chidren's Park

when we first got to texas, we stopped at this children's park and let the kids play. ever since, mikenna is asking to go back to the park with the bears so last night we took the kids back the park. the weather was beautiful and the kids had a blast. here are the pictures i took from there. this is why mikenna called it the bear park.

the park also has a little creek filled with orange fish and tadpoles...

lots of green trees and grass... 

and two waterfalls that mikenna likes to climb and andon tried to climb.

we took some bubbles with us to play with and this is the kids chasing the bubbles.

then the kids wanted to blow the bubbles themselves...

well, actually andon just stuck the stick in his mouth.

while we were sitting there i wanted to capture some cute faces that my kids make in front of the camera. so here are their good smiles...

and here is when they said cheese...

and these are their silly faces.

I'm Still Here

hello everyone i am still alive and here.  i know i haven't blogged in a month but it has been a weird month. moving is very strange and takes a lot of change which i am still getting used to.  i am finally settled though and ready to get bloggin again all the time.  so for a little catch up, my mother in law came and visited me for a week while john was out of town, and here are some things we did.  we went to the kids discovery center and it was way cool. they had three rooms full of stuff to do. we could have easily spent all day there. 

here is andon, mikenna, and my mother-in-law irene hiding in the cave.

there was an area that was like a hospital baby nursury. i decided to try and get andon used to a new baby and he didn't like it to well.

mikenna, on the other hand, did everything for her baby like a little mother. i guess i know what to look forward to in a few months.

andon enjoyed these blocks a lot 

this was a highlight of the place. the kids are in the back of an ambulence. i couldn't get andon away from it.

three monsters in space

the kids liked the big dinosaur. there was a tunnel behind this to walk through and it was pretty cool.

mikenna was taking control of the ship

andon had no real interest in the ship's wheel

me and the kids at the top of the tunnel

here we are at the zoo. apparantly i didn't too many pictures but we did see lots of animals and the kids had fun

these last two pictures are of the kids playing  with a ball on the grass.  nothing special just thought i would blog them since i had them.
