So Thankful

I have so much blogging to do and lots of pictures from this week. We have LOVED having Daddy home all week. I just thought I would post a list of some things I am thankful for this holiday season.

• Our loving Heavenly Father who takes care of all of our needs
• My sweet husband who loves me so much and does so much for our family
• Our beautiful little girl who puts a smile on my face every day
• Our wiggly baby boy who I can't wait to meet
• My parents who set a great example for me and are fun to be around
• My sister who always makes me laugh and listens to my craziness
• Our chihuahua, Macy
• Our home
• Our car
• Being able to stay home with my babies
• Chris' job and that it is so close to home
• Wonderful friends who are always there for me
• A large extended family
• Our freedom

I could go on and on, but there's just a few. We are so blessed and have so much to be grateful for. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. You are a blessing to me!

Aaahh the Life!

Hopefully I'll get back to blogging soon, but for now here's this.

San Antonio Vacation-Friday Part 3-Roller Coasters

Chris rode The Great White and the Steel Eel. He took videos while ON both rollercoasters. I know, crazy, but they are really cool. We have insurance on our camera so I was able to allow this. I can't make it all the way through watching them because it makes me sick. Actually riding a roller coaster to me is a lot different than watching someone else ride one. If you can stomach it knock yourself out. They are great videos. I captured Chris on one of the roller coasters. He is in all three of the first three pictures, but I just circled him in the close-up. I think he rode the Great White 3 or 4 times. On Friday it was not busy at all...you could walk right on....and he did that for a little bit while Mckenzee and I played games.

THE GREAT WHITE

THE STEEL EEL

Happy Halloween!

She let us dress her up AND put make-up on her AND she wore her wings. What a great night! She was not too interested in the pumpkin insides, but liked watching her Daddy do it. I can't blame the girl. I don't like pumpkin insides myself. She had fun trick or treating at the few houses we went to and liked eating "sussers" (suckers). She really liked it when the kids came to our house too and said "kids, kids!" We had fun with her tonight. She was a cutie and even went to bed by 9:30....not too bad. I must add that her gorgeous costume was only $5 and brand new. Thank you sister for pulling it for me from the costume sale at the studio!

This video cracks us up. She's so rotten.

Goodnight!

A Little Conversation I had with Mckenzee Today

Kenzee: bru-er go?

Momma: brother's in Momma's tummy, he'll come out after Christmas.

Kenzee: m' out bru-er......m' out now!

San Antonio Vacation- Friday Part 2-Whales

Next, we went to the Shamu Show. The first picture here is of Kenzee waiting to see the whales. We were sitting in the splash zone, but after we saw the first set of people get splashed we high-tailed it out of there. You didn't just get splashed you got completely soaked. That would have been okay in the middle of the summer, but we didn't want to walk around wet the rest of the afternoon. Kenzee will tell you "whale spash me" but he didn't. We watched the splashing from way up in the stands. She liked the show very much.

San Antonio Vacation- Friday Part 1-Dolphins

Friday was the first day we visited Sea World. Mckenzee was very much looking forward to seeing the whale. We decided to rent a stroller which worked out nice. Out of character for me you say? I lysoled the whole thing and added a quilt that we brought which ended up being great when she fell asleep. This day started out a little chilly, but warmed up nice.






We started the day with the dolphin and beluga whale show. It was cute. I like dolphins. All the dolphins and whales we saw just seemed to act like big dogs to me. They loved on the trainers and begged for treats.





Although Mckenzee was intent on this show, for the most part, she did turn to her Daddy at one point with her hands out and asked, "da whales?" That was all she cared about at Sea World was seeing the whales. She still tells me every time we get in the car that she wants to see the whales.

Here is a video clip of the dolphins and the next clip is of the crazy jumping divers that made me nervous and I did not enjoy watching.

After the show we went to the dolphin feeding tank and that was a lot of fun. They are just so cute and friendly. I wish I had been braver about petting them. I touched one for just a second and it was very smooth. Chris was right at home. I don't think I got us feeding them on the video. It is just of them swimming if I remember correctly. Mckenzee liked seeing them, but they made her a little bit nervous.
