Zoo!

The weather is cooling down in Houston, so we decided to goto the zoo. We all went and met Lucie, Susan and George there. Here are a few pics:

Yes, Trevor even got in the prarie dog tunnels! He went to check onthe kids and I was not expecting him to pop up in there...it gave us all a good laugh!

No zoo trip is complete for us without a ride on the train!

June and July happenings!

Kaitlyn is 3 and NOW potty trained!!!! Looks like there will be about 5 months of a diaper break here!! Woo hooo!!!

We had a cute little party for her at the house. We had Honeydew the Clown come and the kids loved that. Kaitlyn was so scared at first, but eventually warmed up. She loves telling people about it so do ask!

I'm in my second trimester, at about 18 weeks and feeling pretty good. Im still anxious to see what we are having but think the surprise at the end will be great. I think its a boy, as does Trevor. Ask Kaitlyn and Ryan and you will hear a cute little arguement over what the other thinks that goes something like this "girl, no boy , no its a girl, no its a boy"...and on and on till one of us breaks it up. The baby will be next to Ryan's room and everntually share a bathroom with him so if its a boy, were set! If its a girl, we will probably have a room swap. Loving how we painted their bathrooms in a very ender specific way before we knew about our surprise! Kids are still very excited and love watching my belly grow...which by the way it is HUGE.

Were all unpacked and mostly decorated. Life is good!

Fathers Day 2008

Popsicles are a must!

Kaitlyn thinks mashed potatoes are yummy but will only eat them off the beater??

Silverlake 4th of July party and our winning cake! Note to self...tricycles should not be allowed in the bike parade. That was a LONG half mile

Hawaii trip

We had an amazing time in Honolulu this past week. There are tons of pics as we were there 8 fun filled days! It was so great to see Grandpa Bob and Grandma Jill! Kaitlyn and Ryan are still talking about our big trip, especially wondering about their dog, Copper. Ryan told us today "I bet Copper is looking for us!" Hummm, possibly but maybe not, he took a lot of abuse from a tiny, almost 3yo girl that week as you will see in the photos.








Are we there yet????






Greeted with fresh flower leis...look at the happy fam!









Copper, Kaitlyn's new best friend
