Chinnie's Birthday

In the midst of a rockin party a celebrity named Sistow Dea came to deliver this cookie

Bronco Babes

Notice the football players in the background!

My Little Cupcake

Yet another photo shoot by Aunt Brieann. Love it!

My favorite

By far Chinnie's favorite outfit. She will go through all her clothes to find the pieces. She'll try to wear them in the heat so I hide them in the summer.

I love this theme. She had little plastic cupcakes in the center of her hair bows, cupcake earings, and cupcakes on her skirt.

Brie said that when Chinnie saw the shoes for the first time she gasped and said, "Glass slippers!!!" They are the cutest shoes I've ever seen and really do look like glass slippers even though they're jelly shoes.

Halloween Party

Ethan

Knight, Dorothy, Witch, Dragon and Baby.

Bridger did not like his costume. The dragon head bothered him to wear it. He wasn't afraid of it, it just felt weird.

I love that Chinnie wanted to be a baby this year. Outfit complete with diaper bag, diaper (not shown), a binky and a bottle.

Dorothy found the actual green witch on Wizard of Oz and had a little chat together.

Lego Land

Cooling off in Lego land's waterparkAt closing time Natalynn had been waiting in line for this ride. They didn't have to let her on but they did. Then I realized I was alone with Natalynn and Bridger. I had no way to take Bridger on the ride and he wouldn't have been ok with me leaving him behind. Then a park worker offered to take Natalynn on the ride. He was so nice to her and really let her help with the pulling of the rope. You had to use some muscle to get up, then you let go and you float down. I think she had more fun with him than she would have if I had been able to take her.

Natalynn's "pet fly" Jolie came to visit Natalynn. She was upset about something and when I told her Jolie was on her hat she started laughing. Jolie is so nice to follow behind our car all the way to California. It's going to be a sad day when she realizes there are millions of flies.


amazing things made out of nothin but legos!
At the end of our Lego Land day Chinnie finds a pet ant. Then it dies. She tells Aunt Kathy that her aunt dies. Kathy feels so sorry for her and we have to tell her it was an ant, not an aunt.

San Diego Zoo

We had a great time at San Diego Zoo. Man that place is huge! We got a good 2 day deal where the kids were free. I took my kids and Stetson by myself. I couldn't have done it without Stetson. He's awesome!

The first day we tried to see the pandas. That was what Stetson was most excited about. The panda had it's back to us and was sleeping. So we tried again and he was eating and facing us! At that point my camera had taken a dive in the ocean so we only got some pictures with my phone but it was fun to see.

Bridger tries so hard to keep up with everyone!
Stetson was the designated animal photographer and I think he did a pretty good job!

Beach again!

We went to the beach twice during our San Diego visit. The first time we had Ty, Amari, Aunt Kathy and Grammy with us. The second time Chinnie, Stetson and April had so much fun being gutsy in the ocean. We went as far in as we could. A bit challenging with a four year old in your arms. We made a game by going waist high into the water and trying to outrun a large wave. Chinnie thought that was hilarious.



The only way we got Bridger into the water this time was to have him fill up a sandcastle's mote with water. Fear overcome by purpose.

Bridger was more interested in chasing seagulls than anything else at the beach.

We had a clean diaper with our belongings and when it was time to change Bridger's bum it was gone. A few minutes later a lady came up asking if it was ours. She said a seagull had carried it off. It must have been hoping for... something stinky to eat? Sorry to disappoint you birdie.
