Dallas had a Convention for work down in San Antonio this last week so we went down and spent a night in his hotel and day seeing the sights. Wow, what an awesome city! It is definately one of my favorite cities to visit now. This Riverwalk was so beautiful and fun, so visitor friendly with tons of restaraunts and entertainment. No we didn't eat at Waxy's Irish Pub, it just happened to get in our picture :)
It was a bit of a challenge managing four kids in this huge city without Dallas (he was in meetings all day), Ellie was so tired and woudn't take a nap and yes it was just a tiny bit hot, but we had fun. 
They are just so cute when they are asleep. It was a tight squeeze to all fit in this bed, Miah only fell out once, Ouch!
Ethan and Abbey floating down the San Antonio River on our boat tour. I know it looks like an engagement pose but it was actually a pretty spontaneous shot. What cuties
more on the boat
Here it is, the famous Alamo. We toured the inside but weren't able to take pictures in there. It was neat to re-learn this part of history and remember all those who died there. Abbey said this was her favorite part of our trip.
Thank heavens for the pack-n-play! If it wasn't for this Ellie would have eaten a lot of sand today!
We spent the day at Mustang Island right across from Corpus Christi, Tx this last Saturday and had such a fun time! The water is so warm in the Gulf of Mexico!
Miah looking for seashells. The sand or should I say mud, was so soft and fun to play in. 
Their first time seeing the ocean was a hit! They didn't ever want to leave. It was about a 4 hour drive for us so we'll definately be back.
I had gotten out the pioneer outfit because I'm doing a Pioneer Sharing Time in Primary on Sunday and Abbey immediately snatched up the clothes and spent half the day in them. She was so cute pretending to be "Lucy" a pioneer girl riding in a covered wagon. "There's room for you mama", she says
Hey we finally got a pet! Her name is Charlette and she has made her home in our front window! So far she hasn't written us any messages but she's actually kind of pretty. I know, it's a spider and the first day she showed up I was really freaked out. Then I learned that she's a garden spider and that she can't hurt me :). Thekids and I get a daily science lesson watching her catch her food and suck it's blood!!
And it's so cool watching her re-spin her web occasionally, such talented creatures.
Dallas took Ethan to Walnut Creek to try out his new Mountain Bike. As you can see, Ethan did great. He even rode through his first river!
