Fun at home

February is almost over and time is just flying by. We have been living with my mom since we got back from Texas so we could look for a house and save money. Since we live at Grandma's house we get to see lots of cousins...

Hayden and Jaden looking all grown up. They love to playing together (most the time) and Jaden likes to copy what Hayden does.

Kari lost her first tooth on January 29. She was way excited that it was loose, but really scared about pulling it out. It was quick and mostly painless. I just wrapped dental floss around it and popped it out. She was so brave. She lost one of her silver teeth on the bottom and the tooth behind it was almost grown in when we pulled it.

Rockwell is hard at work.

Posing for a Valentine's picture with all the cousins.

I asked Kari and Mae to give me a silly face, and Jen just couldn't resist getting in on the fun!

Rockwell is getting so close to crawling. It is so much fun to watch him try. He is growing so fast! I always think he is so chubby, but I found he is rather lean at his 9 month appt today. He was 18 lb 13 oz (25th %) and 28.5 in tall (70th %).

Kari is always such a big help with Rockwell. Most of the time he loves Kari's attention, but other times not so much.

We had lots of birthdays in February on both my side of the family and Buck's. Happy Birthday again to you all. This is one gift my mom was especially excited to give my dad. A Jazz jersey signed by Al Jefferson.

The two old men in our family. Buck wanted to shave Rocky's head as well, but I wouldn't let him.

Tessa and Hayden hang out a lot. I just thought this was a funny picture with the way she is looking at Hayden. She's probably wondering if she is really ok with sitting so close to him. Maybe she is keeping a close eye on him to keep her hot dog safe.

Merry Christmas!

Lots and lots of family at Christmas time, and lots of fun too! We had some fun parties and a wonderful Christmas day. It was great to see those we could and miss those we couldn't.

Don't boxes always make the best presents.

San Antonio

A few weeks ago we spent the weekend in San Antonio. We spent one night in Marble Falls with Kristen and Mikey, then my cousin Ashley and her family were nice enough to let us spend a night at their place. Thanks so much by the way! Here's what we did.

We went to Sea World with Mikey, Kristen, and Tessa. We checked out the aquarium.

Sea World was all decked out for Halloween, so we took advantage of the scenery.

Rockwell is getting so big! He rolls over now and tries so hard to sit up.

I'm not sure if this turtle was brave...

or oblivious.

Some whale tricks.

This show is new down at Sea World. It's got some dolphins and other animals, but it's mainly about divers. It was like going to the Mayan but way cooler!

We sat in the Splash Zone at the first show, and the kids didn't exactly enjoy it so much. All the kids were screaming and crying. Rocky was protected somewhat by a changing mat. From then on, we sat near the back.

The kids were completely enthralled by the whales.

We met up with my dad and Mary (Grandpa Moose & Nana) at the Riverwalk.

Here we are all together.

Grandpa and Nana love to check out places they've seen on the food network or read about in magazines, so we got to enjoy a 42 in pizza. That is one inch less than Kari is tall.

Rocky was about the size of one slice. The place is called Big Lou's and is very popular.

We also had dinner at a cafe with other enormous food items like the 3 lb cinnamon roll...

a chicken fried steak bigger than the plate. The sides were on their own dinner plate.

It was a great weekend. Thanks to all those who enjoyed it with us.

Rocky at 3 months

We did a little photo shoot for Rocky over a month ago, and I am just now posting them. By the way, he recently had his 4 month appointment and he is 16 lb 5 oz (75th %) and I think he was 26 1/4 in (85th %).
