GO SPURS GO!!

WE LOVE THE SPURS!! Today we are festive= hoping they can wrap it up tonight! GO SPURS!

King William Fair--FIESTA

yes- we were VERY brave and ventured downtown on saturday for the King William Fair and Parade. It was actually pretty fun, and the kids had a great time looking at all the frieks in the parade! LOL!! one of the rides in the kids area was ponies, and they definately had to do that!

Sydnee and her pony--by the way she acted on it, you really would thing she was a princess!


Brian on his--he loved it too!


Sydnee catching a ride!

Canyon Lake

So last Friday Matt had a day off--WOW!-- and we decided to take a picnic to canyon lake. it was so cool! there were lots of picnic tables set up by the lake and there was even a little rock beach. it will definately be a neat place to go in the summer. as you can see, it was a cloudy-overcast day, so we didn't venture into the water. but we still had fun all being together!

Our little picnic

rental car

Hey- so some idiot ran into the driver side door of the van- AT A STOP SIGN!! and he was uninsured--so we've been dealing with a mess of crap from the insurance companies and what a fake mean man he was/is. ommmm....anyway, everyone was all right AND I got to rent this super cool car for 2 weeks. I'm in love with it! It's a mazda CX9. Awesome!

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!

Sea World Water Park

hey all--sea world opened it's water park early this year! it's now open Saturdays and Sundays! so we decided to get out the swim gear and go this past saturday....well, it was all hot and beautiful, but there was a breeze and the water was like ICE! hahahahaha anyway- the kids spent half the time in their towels on the chairs, but they still had fun...i just thought these pictures were cute!

Brian going down one of the slides...notice how he's all sitting up straight! LOL!!!


Umm..yes, that little blob of hair under the water is Sydnee....needless to say, she wasn't very happy about that!

Brian is finally tall enough to go down the tube slide- so fun!

Poteet Strawberry Festival

We went to the Poteet Strawberry Festival this past Friday night and had a blast! For those of you who have never been-it really was fun, just get there EARLY!! We spent an hour in the car waiting to park-BOO! But eventually we got in...there were TONS of rides, food and most of all YUMMY, DEVINE, DELICIOUS Strawberrys! My favorite!



The kids and Matt on the carousel=these things make me sick! LOL!

We went to the Zoo! and it was soooo fun!! The weather was gorgeous--warm and sunny, but with a little breeze so we didn't DIE of heat! LOL!! The kids had a blast! Enjoy!


Riding the train--so cool--it goes through Brackenridge Park, and it is beautiful right now!

I don't know if you can see it real well, but there is a beautiful brown bear back there. and the tounge, again.
