Beach babes!

So more about our trip to Houston!  On Tuesday we went to the beach!  We were all so excited!  We got up early and headed down the road to Galveston.  

Hunter could hardly wait to get his feet in the sand!  He was so excited! 

As soon as we got the tent up, Hunter and Grumpy got in the waves! 

Maggie really liked it!  She was running in and out of the water!  

Stompin' in the water with Nana

And run back up to the sand... she then would turn back around and run into the water again. :)

Miss Gracie's first time at the beach!!  Yay! :)

All covered in sunscreen! :)

Splashing in the waves!  Jayne, Gracie, Grumpy, Hunter and Daddy! 

Playing in the sand! 

Hunter and Maggie played together for a while.  We just watched.

They really are best friends.  

Maggie did eat a little sand here... yuck! :)

Sweet kids! 

Sand castles with Nana time!! 

Maggie wasn't really into building a sand castle, but Hunter loved it! 

They sat out there for a while building their castle. 

Hunter was very serious about their sand castle. 

Almost done... as you can see Maggie was gone a long time ago.  She can't sit still! :)  She was busy with Grumpy...

They played in the water for a while! 

You see Maggie would run and knock Grumpy down and then they both would laugh and laugh!  It was so cute to watch!!!

Oh and can you see Mag's hair??  Well she would not wear a hat, so I sprayed her head with sunscreen.   Can you imagine what her hair felt like?  Yeah... it was pretty gross and it took a couple of days to get all the sunscreen out, but her head did not get burned!!!  And her hair is even lighter!  Maybe next time I'll put sunscreen in my hair, too... :)

Hunter loved fighting the waves!! 

He would punch them, 

chop them, 

kick them

chest bump them, 

even hiney them! 

His eyes were all red from the salt water, but he didn't care!  He LOVED fighting the waves! :)

While Hunter was fighting waves, Maggie was chasing the birds!  She would see a bird sitting on the sand and would run to catch it!  It was so cute and fun!  She never caught one, but had a lot of fun running after them! 

So before we headed home Hunter, Maggie and Daddy had a huge mud fight! 

Maggie was really getting into it! 

Just look at that boy! 

Hunter loved it! 

Maggie got a little muddy, too! :)

And the winner of the mud fight... Hunter and Maggie!!!  Daddy was by far the muddiest! :)

Gracie had to put her toes in the water one last time before we left! 

Isn't she soo cute!!  Nana and Gracie right before we headed home. 

We had such a great time at the beach! 

Maggie was asleep before we put the truck in drive! 

And Hunter really tried to stay awake, but was asleep before we were out of Galveston! 

What a great day at the beach!  Thank you Nana and Grumpy! :)

Houston! :)

Did you miss us??  Or did you even know we were gone? :)  Last week we spent the whole week in Houston!  Yay!  The kids and I both are adjusting to no Daddy during the day.  It was so nice that he was off last week.  It was sad to see him leave this morning. :)  

We had a wonderful time in Houston!!!  So what all did we do???  LOTS!  It might take me a few posts to tell you about it all!  But to start off we left last Saturday around lunch time and made it to Houston in time for dinner.  The kids did pretty good in the car!  We made one big stop and walked around for a little bit.  Sunday, we got to meet lots of Nana and Grumpy's friends.  We had a great time meeting and seeing people we haven't seen in a while.  I personally enjoyed seeing Miss Janet! :)  Anyway... Then on Monday we went here...

Have you ever seen real dinosaurs??  This was my first time! 

Hunter was really impressed!! 

Here he is with Nana looking up at a big dinosaur!  

Me and Mags :)  She was roaring at them! 

Okay do you remember this picture from 2 years ago at Mickey World??

Hard to believe it was 2 years ago! 

 They had to do it again!  This time in front of a real dinosaur!!  

Here I am with the kids... I know I am huge!  Less than 2 months until baby #3! (still no name... any suggestions???)

Hunter loved the dinosaur museum!  He wanted to see more dinosaurs, though.  He didn't understand that there just aren't a lot of dinosaur bone laying around.  I thought it was pretty awesome!  Our God is amazing!!  How did He come up with dinosaurs?  Wow!  

Okay... well I am trying to get our naps back to regular time, so I will blog more about our awesome trip later!  Hope you all have a wonderful Monday! 

Pooh!!!!

Guess what we saw today???

Yep!  Winnie the Pooh!  It was Maggie's first time to be in a theater and she did pretty good!  We went at 3 after a pretty good nap.  She watched some in my lap and then walked down the aisle a little.  We were the only ones on the row so it was okay.  She didn't bother anyone.  She did have to bounce like Tigger when he was bouncing. :)  So funny!  Over all she did awesome!  

I didn't get a picture of them during the movie.  We got in there a little late and I didn't want to take a picture during the previews.  So we took a couple of pictures with pooh as we were leaving.  

Hunter really liked the movie.  It was really cute.  For those of you with little ones, it's not near as long as Cars.  I would recommend not getting there right on time.  There are lots of previews!! 

Oh and when this came on...

Maggie yelled "Ga-Ga''!  Her word for Mickey!  We can't get her to say anything other than ga-ga for Mickey.

Thank you Honey for taking us!  And thank you Disney for making a cute, shorter movie for little kids.  We enjoyed it! :)

It's a 10!!!

Well today was Hunter's last day of gymnastics.  For the last 6 weeks, he got to go to Beamers and learn some new tricks. :)  He has really enjoyed it.  He's not...

Jonathan Horton, but he did have a lot of fun!  I don't think gymnastics will be his sport, but it has been a blessing this summer.  He has enjoyed getting to do something new and special.  Now he is ready to show his cheerleaders (HSU) what he learned. 

Okay... I know this is not the best picture.  I didn't have the good camera and I should have turned off the flash and it was behind glass, but you can see him having fun on the bars!  

I do have to say, I am impressed with Beamers' preschool program.  The coaches were great!  They seemed to really like what they were doing.  They also not only taught gymnastics, but they played games (while waiting for their turn on an event) to help them learn colors or shapes.  It was just a great!  I don't think we will be able to do it this fall... new baby, cheerleading, football season. But we will be back, Beamers.  Next time you might get Maggie, too! :)
