Schlitterbahn on Galveston Island

We went to Schlitterbahn on galveston island, it was so much fun! We went for my baby brother Jace's Choir concert! The Boys had a blast in the kiddie pools and the lazy river! TessLea wasn't a fan of the water but she had fun in the sun anyway! It was such a beautiful day to go swimming too, not too hot or too cold! Just perfect! Josh had baseball, so he didn't get to come so it was just me and the kids, my mom and brother, and my friend Stephanie and her little boy Kinsler.

 "She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini, that she wore for the first time today!"

Perfect song for her because that was her first time wearing her swim suit and first time swimming!!

 Taking one of her many naps

 Pretty girl, she was so good! Not cranky at all for the 8 hours we were there!

The Kiddos

I love my kiddos!

Houston 19 months!

Houston is 19 months today! I can't believe it! He is such a funny kid! He's growing up so fast! He has turned into a tiny little spitfire! Him and Braiden are like fire and gasoline right now! They play good together for maybe 5 minutes then they start teasing each other or fighting with each other, but i know it's just a phase!

Wearing my funny glasses at texas roadhouse, he loved them!

Houston and his baby doll, he is so good and sweet to that baby!

18 months!

Houston is 18 months old! Can't believe how big he is getting! I recently got my baby doll for Houston to practice with before his sister get's here because i have been so worried! He has been so good! He is so gentle with the baby doll, and is so sweet! Talks to her in a squeeky high voice, it is adorable! josh doesn't like that i have him playing with a doll, but i explained he doesn't play with it, he just carries it around and is sweet to it as if it were real. I know its a guy thing, but he will thank me later!

houston is so independant, but he still loves his mama! he loves to follow Braiden around and do what he does and also mommy and daddy! He is growing well according to his charts! he is still very small for his age, but he isn't in the "danger zone" so he is just taking after my side, poor guy, i hope he grows out of that! He loves to sing and dance and watch Bubble guppies, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!

15 months!

Houston is 15 months today! Enjoy some pictures!

Houston loves to be next to his mommy, he was ready for his nap, but instead of going in his bed and sleeping, he went in his room and grabbed his pillow and blanket and laid next to me in the living room, it was so adorable!
Houston sleeps with his eyes partially open, it kind of freaks me out a little!

Houston wearing his 3D glasses

Houston is getting so big! He talks a lot more now! he doesn't really say too much, that makes sense but he does talk a lot! He says ma (mom), mama (grandma) dada (dad), babah (bottle/which is actually just milk now because he's off of the bottle! yay!) No (no) poo (poop) i (eye) DD (jd for uncle jd) and WOW (wow). That's all i can't think of at this moment!

13 months!

Houston is 13 months! He is getting so big it's crazy!!! i can't believe how fast he is grown up!

Houston loves about everything! He is such a character too! He loves to be the center of attention and when he doesn't get what he wants he screams like a little girl and when i look at him and tell him to stop he tries to flutter his eyes and smiles with his most cheesiest smile! Yes he sure knows how to push my buttons and still make me smile! Josh tells me all the time to not give in but its so hard not too! He talks up a storm and he started doing that out of no where! He knows what he is saying but no body else does lol.

He can say:

Mum (mom)

dada (dad)

bahbah (bottle)

and i can't think of anything else off the top of my head. He loves to dance and he's pretty good at it too, he's got pretty good rhythm ! when you ask him if he has poop in his pants he points to his stomach and shakes his head yes, pretty funny, and he loves to sing itsy bitsy spider and he can do the motion of the spider but that's all so far it is very cute! i will have to try and get it on video. Well that's all i can think of about Houston right now.

Here are a few pictures of lunch.

And yes he loves to get food in his hair every meal!

Houston's birthday party was at cedar brake park down the street in montgomery! The origional spot we had picked out was taken by the time i could get there and reserve it so we had to move to a different spot but it worked out! It was really humid and it was killing all of us but by the time it hit 6:30pm it was nice outside! Here are pictures of his party!

We had a dinosaur theme party! And got him a matching shirt! His signing book! Cake i made for him! turned out really cute for last minute!
