Dallas Trip

Look at me! I'm soooo happy!













Kei was in a super good morning our first morning there. He's a little sunshine in the mornings!

















Aunt Heather is going to love me for this! She names all her duckies, so Heather, forgive me since I have no idea what their names are. Heather, Kei and duck.










Cameron kissing duck 2. He was just being silly!













"Hey, guess what?! I love you!" IT's one of the cutest sayings Cam has. My favorite current one is "Hey! I've got a great idea!" It's usually the idea he's been trying to sell you on for the past half hour.









Gotcha! Kei rolled all over this thing for 30 minutes.












Me and the boys stayed with my sister and brother while Daddy went to Best Buy supervisor training. We swam and ran errands with Aunt Heather.

Me and my baby blue eyes.








Cameron used to absolutely love being in the water. Not so much now. He totally freaked. I'm guessing it's because we moved into the house and didn't have the wonderful apartment pool last year. Here's aunt Heather trying to get him to relax...Don't you love that face?








Aunt Heather and baby Kei making big splashes.













"Dallas...STARS!" Cam showing off some muscle in Uncle Josh's shirt!













Yes, the boy is wearing shorts on his head.













Cam and I were playing this game with Aunt Heather earlier and Kei picked it up and actually started playing with it how we had been. Cam LOVED that his baby brother was playing with him.









Then Cam wanted to hold it with his "bruder" while I jumped.












Since Adam had to go home early, me and the boys stayed a bit longer with Heather and Josh so we had to ride back in their car. Don't I look soooo comfy squished between two car seats?










Aunt Heather and Uncle Josh took us to the Dallas Zoo (Thank you guys!) so of course the first thing we had to do was play!











Have to show off some of uncle Josh's photography skills. Cam like the big cats.












How 'bout this wildlife?













...and this?













Yes, the giraffe is licking the building.













Did you know emporer penguins got this big? I didn't.
















I have never gotten to see a gorilla before so this was pretty neat.












Cam's giraffe was hungry, lol!


















Cam thinks his hotwheels shades are so cool.



















Cam is really warming up to the whole big brother thing. He loves Kei except for the "slollering" part.











This was taken barely 10 minutes after the previous picture. I'd say he was pretty tired!

Family Vacation!

So it's been a long time since I've posted. In that time:

• Kei has learned to pull up
• Kei has started 3rd foods and table foods
• he's started crawling on his hands and knees
• Cam is starting to play with Kei
• I've decided to start back to part time work
• AND we went on a family vacation to San Antonio

Whew! That's a lot! I've been so busy I've really not had the time to get any coherent thoughts even together. So we did go on vacation and so here are some pictures! We had a great trip and because of naps we didn't get a whole lot done, but for a first vacation we really did get a lot done.

Kei making some silly faces. He was so tired during the Sea World day.
Uncle Max was one of Cam's favorites.
It was absolutely mad. We went May 18th thinking it wouldn't be bad. I could not have been more wrong. We did, however, get to see the Shamu show. Kei DID NOT like the splash zone...AT ALL!
After every show we would put Kei back in the stroller and he would crash.
We got to see the penguin exhibit. I think Cam was a little disappointed they didn't dance like in Happy Feet.
Yeah, we had some seriously tired boys. Aunt Vikki got Cam a Shamu doll that he "splashed" us with the rest of the trip. He LOVED being splashed by the way.
We got Kei a cute little bitty walrus. His eyes were as big as Kei's.
Cam showing off his red tongue.
We rode the trolley the whole time. That suited Cameron just fine. Although trying to get Kei's stroller everywhere was a pain.
We went to the San Antonio Children's Museum. Cameron had lots of fun. They really had a lot of interesting exhibits but mostly for older children. Cameron was not at all interested in listening to the stories.
Bubble rig was neat.
I'm not even sure what this was, but both boys thought it was neat.
Everything was connected so Cam turned the wheel and Kei looked at the pretty circles.
Cam was crazy about the excavator. He did this most of the time we were there.
Kei just crashed everywhere and anywhere poor little guy. He did super good.
We walked most everywhere and ate great! We were on our way to the Rainforest Cafe and had to stop so Cam could feel the "blowdryer."
Cameron and Aunt Vikki on the river tour. We all really enjoyed the boat ride. It was nice and comfortable considering it was mid nineties the whole time we were there.
Kei got a kick out of just being out of the stroller I think.
We had a great time although I felt like I needed a vacation FROM the kids after it was over. They were great and we so couldn't have done this without Aunt Vikki! I wouldn't have gotten a hot dinner if it weren't for her holding Kei. Oh, this trip is when I discovered Kei was ready for solids. He ate so much while we were gone and hasn't quite quit yet.
