My sister the photographer

While we were home, we had my sister take some pictures of our family for us--She has a studio set up in her house and has a real eye for pictures. Here a few of the many AWESOME pictures she took for us. Thanks Krista!

Fun in the Texas Sun

We got to go swimming in the good old NWC pool. My girls had a blast with their little aunts! I love seeing Abby on two feet--so cute!



We went to the Inflatable wonderland with my family too. It's a kids heaven! So many fun bouncy toys--Abby kept trying to run away too.



My parents took us to this awesome place called the Natural Bridge Caverns wildlife ranch. You drive really slow and feed animals as they come right up to your car! Our kiddies were a little wary at first, but loved it in the end! So cool!



We went to Sea World with my family too. My girls actually sat through and enjoyed watching the Shamu show. It is AMAZING what those trainers get those animals to do!



Grace rode her first roller coaster and LOVED it. She rode it a total of 3 times and grinned her way through them all. Craig even got her to hold her hands up for the last ride! Thanks Mom and Dad for such a fun week! We miss you!

July 4th

We enjoyed a great 4th of July 2007. Craig's brother Jeff came down from P-town to hang out with us and Craig grilled up some mean carne asada and hot dogs that we shared with some friends. We also had our first successful (and very large) batch of homemade root beer turn out GREAT! That morning (7:30 a.m.) we went to our ward's picnic breakfast where Grace got to be in the bike parade. They ended things up by giving all the kids HUGE pixie sticks to ensure a nap-less holiday. :) Overall, it was a relaxing and great day and we have enjoyed having Daddy home and Uncle Jeff to play with!
