Major Catch Up!

Wow...time flies when you are having fun...we have been so busy, but don't have much exciting to show for it! Here are just some random pictures from the past month!

Last month, we went to Maddie's 5th birthday party! Such fun! It was at Pump It Up...unfortunately, Amy still hates Pump It Up...not sure why, I think she is the only little one who hates it...This time she was even worse than at Tyler's party, she wouldn't let Matt or I play on anything either! I guess she is just playing it safe :)

Here she is before we went in...
She and Daddy sitting on the side...as long as we were all on the bench, she was okay :)

The birthday girl with her Scooby cake! Happy Birthday Maddie, thanks for letting us share in your party!
She has really been wanting a pillow in her crib with her, we won't let her have one, so she decided to use her bumpers...so cute :)

On Labor Day, Matt worked on the bathroom all day, it is getting much closer, just a little more plumbing and sheetrock...hopefully soon Amy will have a working bathroom!
She decided to get in on the plumbing and learn some things from Daddy...she can now say "pipe", "elbow" and "joint"...such a superstar :) She sat and watched him work for over an hour, so funny...and Daddy loved the help!
Silly face...
Flash was jealous of the pictures, so he had to jump in too :)

Another random day, Flash and Roxy earned their spots in puppy dog heaven...Amy really, really loves to be with them and play...I am pretty sure some of the things she does to them have to hurt...but they just sit patiently as she climbs and whatnot...
For instance, she sat on Flash's back to work her puzzle...the entire thing, the sweet boy never moved! It was precious!
Her new look when I tried to take her picture, must get her love of pictures from Daddy!
She then went on to the living room to read to Roxy...Roxy was super thrilled! She loves a good book! This is also Amy's new face...anything you say she gets this super shocked face...it is hilarious :)
Mimi and Amy made some mini apple pies for dessert while Matt and I worked in the bathroom...they had fun! Amy spent a lot of time testing the ingredients...
She also got a new toddler chair, since she is obsessed with sitting in chairs, we decided to get her one of her own...she loves it :) She also got a new backpack, which she is super pumped about!

South Padre - Part One

Last weekend we headed down to South Padre with Mimi and the Gaffords...such fun! We had a great time and it was so fun to see all the kids play together!

Now for Picture overload...sorry, I just couldn't narrow them down more than this!

Mimi and Amy watching Mickey Mouse in the truck...
Mimi reading everyone a story...

Ryan - ready to get out to the beach...
Amy - ready to go with him!
The next morning, Tyler and I had to race like the crabs he had seen on the beach the night before...he won the race!
Amy "charing" (sharing) with "Ry-Ry" (Ryan)
Before she could head to the beach, she had to get some important emails out of the way, apparently...
The crab racing wasn't the end of the racing...Matt also showed Tyler how to run a wheelbarrow race...
I had the bright idea we would take some family pictures on the beach...Amy thought otherwise! She wanted no part in them, she just wanted back in the water! This is the best of the three of us there is...
We thought she might look up if she could move - Nope!

She did finally smile and look while Mimi had her!
Three Generations! One of which is checking out the water :)
Sort of looking...
Daddy and Amy going after waves...

South Padre - Night On the Town!

On Sunday night we all loaded up and went out to dinner...Afterwards, we went to ride go carts. It works great that Tyler is so tall...At 3 he was the required 42 inches to ride!



Mimi and the kids...

Tyler and Galyn racing Matt and I...Tyler was the winner!

But I am pretty sure the big kids had just as much fun!!!

A group shot...Tyler watching the track!

Again, checking out the track!

Mimi and the kids...Tyler apparently is doing something worth watching :)

Round 2...Amanda wanted in on the action, so Matt rode again with them...Tyler giving her a quick lesson and a thumbs up :)

Ready to Race!

The little ones watching...

Here they come...

Amy dancing in the bed of the truck :)

South Padre - Last Day

On the last day, we took Amy to the beach to try one last ditch effort at some pictures...she was a little more in the mood that day!





She spent most of her time at the beach like this...filling up any container with sand, one scoop at a time...seriously, she would do this for hours...

Finally she looked at the camera...a little at least!

Helping Daddy write her name in the sand...

My favorite picture of the entire weekend!

Running!

Back to checking out the water...

Weekend with Tyler

This weekend Tyler came down to stay with Mimi and we had so much fun playing with him!!! Expecially Amy! They were so sweet together! She woke up from her nap and asked for Ty-ter...very cute!

Thanks Aunt Amanda, Uncle Galyn and Ryan for letting him come to play! We all loved having him here :)

Friday, Tyler and Mimi picked Amy up from school and they went to play at Mimi's "department" aka. apartment :)
Reading together...
And piano!

Saturday morning we took them to Discovery Green to play at the splash park...if you haven't been, you need to go, it was such fun!
"What Ty-Ter?"
Amy flashing gang signs...starting kind of young...
Not sure what this face is :)
That's better!
Waiting on the water, I guess!
Such cuties :)
Come on water!!!
The beginning of a slow speed chase...
Choo-Choo...or move out of my way...not sure :)
Amy was scared when the big water came on...not Tyler, he was all over the big water too!
Snack time...
And afterwards, they hit the playground...
And played a little music...
After a long morning at the park, this is what we got home to...just precious!
