June 2012 Wrap-Up

Well, June was a super busy month for us -- we tried to cram alot of super fun activities in when Robert was off work, and that pace seemed to continue throughout the month!  Here are a couple of misc pictures from some more things we did!

Vacation Bible School at our church!  We had a blast learning about the Amazing Wonders that God has made!  This year, I was a teacher in the Pre-K class, so I was with Luke!  It was lots of fun and very high-energy (12 boys, and only 5 girls!)!  We all enjoyed it, but were super exhausted by the end of the week!

Here's a cardboard airplane that I made for our classroom.

 Here are the Pre-K kiddos about to sing their songs up on stage -- Luke is in a black shirt, turned toward the left.

Our Pre-K Class

Daniel in his 3 yr old class

 Seth in the Toddler class

We were able to meet up with some great friends at their families' lake house to play and relax for a few days in Granbury.  The kiddos had so much fun swimming, jumping from the high platform, fishing, riding in the boat and jet skis, and just playing with friends!

 Luke had no fear, and jumped down at least 2 dozen times!!!

 Jumping with Uncle Chris!

 Seth just watching...

 Daniel was happy to just swim from the banks.

So that was June 2012 -- another fun and busy month!!!

Potty Training -- Round 3!

Well, my littlest boy, isn't such a "little" boy anymore... he is potty training!!!  I had actually been putting this off the past month or so because we just had too much busyness going on to stay home and really be able to focus on it, but I have procrastinated enough!  He is doing great so far, and loves being a "big boy" in "big boy unna-wears"!  

The 2 big boys are super proud of their little brother and give him lots of encouragement!!!  And they think that it's a good excuse to run around in just their underwear!  Silly boys!  But, hey, it is summer time in Texas, so it's HOT!!!

Who's a BIG BOY??!??!?!!?!?

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Schlitterbahn

 Another fun-filled day of adventure at Schlitterbahn (in New Braunfels)!!!!  We had a blast riding the tube rides and Luke was tall enough to ride several of the "big" rides!  He is so brave and fearless!!! His favorite was the black tunnel 2-seater tube ride... he said it was his favorite "because the line to wait was so short!"

Daniel giving me a silly look!  His favorite things were the tube river rides and the kid slides.

Seth and Mommy -- getting ready to get wet!

Collecting tubes for the next ride!

Watching Daddy and Mr. Brian go down the giant slide on their bellies... the boys were happy just to watch that one!

 They were waving from the top of it.

Noah and Seth taking a little break for a quick snack!

 Noah and Daniel "playing" but they WEREN'T tired or anything!!  Ha -- silly boys!

 Luke and Daddy on the big raft slide!

Time for hugs as we said good-bye to our dear, sweet friends!  It was so great to get to see them all and play and have lots of fun!  The boys love getting to play with their buddies!!!  And we miss them already!

In the car on the way back home!

 Luke wanted to take a picture of Mommy and Daddy!

 After being on the road  ~30 minutes!

 By the time we got home, the boys were fast asleep -- they were pretty tired from a fun, long day!

Sea World

 The boys have been anticipating this trip to San Antonio and Sea World for several weeks now!!  They are so excited and ready to get going!!!

Dressed and ready at the hotel room!

Near the entrance of Sea World!  We made it!  (We had a little rough start -- Seth was sick that morning after eating breakfast, so we had to make a quick stop to get him some meds before going to Sea World.  Thankfully, the meds helped and he perked up!)

Riding the Shamu roller coaster!

 Brian and Jacob, Luke, Robert and Daniel!

 Getting ready to see the Shamu show!

 Whoa -- did you see that trick?!?!

 Luke and Daddy road the big boat ride (Journey to Atlantis) 2 times and got SOAKED!!!

Going up the hill...

 Coming down...

 Yay -- a big smile afterwards!!!!

 Standing on the bridge afterwards to get completely drenched!!!

 One happy boy!!!

 Watching another show.

Riding on the Rio Loco -- I think they rode this one 3 times!!!  Luke loved it!

 Robert and Luke, Jacob and Brian

 Everyone getting wet and having fun!!!

 A family pic at the end of a long and fun day!

Sea World was a blast... we all had a great time!!!
