Mr. Cool...

Uncle Seth was Mr. Cool when we visited family in Dallas. I guess there's just something ridiculously cool about someone you can jump all over. I have to admit I discourage them from jumping on me. It just doesn't feel that good to me but Seth doesn't seem to mind.

What happens after being stuck in the car for 5 hours...

So we took a short stop for dinner since the kids needed a break and some food. Grandad was kind enough to entertain them at the window watching birds, cars and anything he could find to point out while Zinnie and I took a break from the insanity. Thanks a ton Dad!
A short video of some of what my Dad endured. It went on MUCH longer than this and unfortunately I have to admit my child started the craziness. I think my Dad says it all.

What do you do for 5 hours in the car...

Apparently chew on toes is pretty near the top of the list! Although Marie is making faces in most of these she was the one to get it all going.
Overall the babies had fun and survived the torturously long trip to Dallas. And finally the best way to survive any trip...
sleep through it! :)

Bows and Jo

Thank you to Aunt Zinnie for making all the cute bows that we put on our little gal.These were made just before we put them on and once we pulled out the camera Jo had to jump in and get her picture taken as well.

Bed Head

I just have to laugh when Marie wakes up some times. I'm not sure how her hair does what it does but it sure is funny.
Marie not all the way awake yet.Still not quite awake but trying to make her scrunched up face for the picture.

Fabric shopping with Marie

Hmmm... got the basket now what.
It didn't take long for stuff to go inside.
In the basket.
Looking for more.
Marie found the bottom shelf to be too much fun to try and climb and I actually quite enjoyed the time she spent there because it meant a whole lot less time chasing her around the store and keeping things on shelves.
Climbing and the Plie of our little future dancer.
Oh so much fun and just too cute to resist!

So tired

So we decided to go shopping one day and we were out for quite a while. The kids were great and did a lot of walking, running and quite a bit of complaining at the end. I think it was quite a successful trip and this is good proof of that.

Maja makes a great Texan! I think it's safe to say that she is adopted into the crowd.My Munchkins were so worn out they couldn't even make it through dinner. They both fell asleep while eating.


Sam has never had a history of falling asleep at the table but yet here he is...
I'm pretty sure he wasn't comfortable at least when we moved him he wasn't anymore when his feet woke up.
