We got the "girls" (LuLa and Sophie) to sit still long enough to get a quick picture. Kris has finally figured out that he is bigger than them.

Spring Break Part 2
It was a very long, snowy, and cold winter here in Kansas City. The morning we left for Corpus, we had our 36th "Snow Event." We were more than ready to head to warmer climates!!!
On our way down, we stopped to visit my AX sorority sister Dorothy and her husband, Mike and son, Sawyer. Sawyer and Kye are only a year apart and it seems everytime we get together, they act as if they've never been apart!! It's so wonderful to see Kye and Sawyer developing the kind of relationship Dot and I have after 4 years in the same house together!!
We also stopped in Waco to visit my cousing Brianna and her boyfriend Jeff. Although we've heard about Jeff for over a year now, we'd never met him. He's everything she said and more. He was so patient and kind with the boys, who were a bit rowdy after being in the car for a day and a half!! We sure wish we lived closer to Brianna, we miss her lots!!
Our next stop was at the San Antonio river walk. We were able to find a river side cafe and enjoy a little snack while we watched the boats go back and forth on the river. It was very relaxing and the boys enjoyed it a lot! We even saw one of our foreign exchange students and his host family go by on a boat while we were there!
Kye had some friends join us that he wasn't too sure about.....
One of the biggest entertainments of the week was feeding the birds. The boys made quick friends of ANYONE who had bread to throw out and had a ball!
One of the T-shirt shops had a JAWS replica out front, Kye insisted we get a picture.
This is in front of the Corpus Christi aquarium. We picked a great day to go as it rained most of the day and we were inside!
They had a touch pool and I think Kye picked up EVERYTHING in the pool, he especially liked the sea urchins. Kris did a lot of looking!
Ba-ba and the boys at the aquarium.

The next day we went to visit the USS Lexington. Dave and I are huge fans of military ships and love looking all around them. We made it about 3/4ths of the way through the ship, that took about 6 hours. The boys did great!! It was VERY windy that day, especially up on the flight deck. We held on the Kris for dear life, we were afraid he might just blow off the deck!!!
For some reason, this was Kristopher's favorite place on the boat. Hope this is not a premonition!!!

Spring Break-Part One
We got to go to Corpus Christi for Spring Break this year to stay on the boat with BaBa. It was the first time Kris has seen the ocean, well technically the bay..... Dave's favorite part was having coffee every morning in the cockpit. My favorite part was sleeping in a bit every morning while BaBa dealt with Pop Tarts. Kye's favorite part was sleeping on the boat and Kris' favorite part was "WATER!!!!!"
Fishing was one of the favorite pastimes, the shrimpers at the neighboring dock were so good to the boys, giving them an assortment of by catch. Starfish were a favorite. Fresh shrimp everyday was hard to deal with, but we managed :)
Kristopher managed to hook his shoe, we finally convinced him there was nothing after him, not sure he completely believed us
The dinghy provided lots of entertainment for Dave and the boys
Fishing off the pier, waiting for the boat race to start. It was VERY windy, can you tell? I'm very glad I was not crewing that boat!!!!
The last day we were finally able to get out on the open water. Each of us took a turn with the rudder. The boys liked the going out and coming in, but kind of bored in between.
We made it over to Padre Island for an afternoon, it was COLD!! That didn't stop the boys from running in the waves. Kye got really good at jumping waves. Kris really liked the sand. We were able to collect several shells as well.
There's more to come, check back in a couple of days!!!

HOCKEY!!!!
We went to our very first Hockey game ever. We have a team here in town that several OE kiddos play on. One of them invited us to a game yesterday. Unfortunately Zak was sick and we didn't get to see him play but it was a lot of fun to watch. Kris especially was excited, Kye really just liked it when they slammed into the glass right in front of us. I have a feeling we will be attending another game or two.....
Kye has lost ANOTHER tooth.....no connection to the hockey game....I think that makes 6 now, before we know it he will have a mouth full of big boy teeth!
