RAIN!!!!

San Antonio is known for droughts. During the summer you can usually only water your yard one day a week. This summer, it rained for over 30 straight days. Peyton has developed a little fear of all of the storms. Being the good big sister she is, she took means to protect herself and her baby sister.

Sea World Part 2

Landree's favorite animals are the Sea Lions and this is her favorite part of the show. When Clyde hollers- she hollers back.
Landree was finally able to fall asleep. However, unlike all of these other kids that we see sacked out for hours. Ours only recharges for about 30 minutes.


I snuck in both girl's rooms that night and they were sacked out with their Shamus.




Sea World- Part 1




















Now that we live in San Antonio, we have a few luxuries that we didn't have, the main one being Sea World. Season Passes are pretty cheap and the girls love it.

Peyton's favorite ride is Journey to Atlantis. It is a huge water ride and she loves it. Can you see her and Brian in the back?















Peyton's favorite animal is Shamu of course.















Who would have guessed that a girl in a stroller could have so much fun.

Peek-A-Boo

WHERE'S LANDREE?

TADAH!

Attack of the hives


So we have had 3 pediatric allergists tell us that they thought Landree had outgrown or was in the process of outgrowing her allergy to milk. Well, she got ahold of her sister's empty milk cup and got hives from just contact. Needless to say, I think the milk allergy is here to stay for awhile. As you can imagine, I didn't get much sleep that night.

Taj Mahal


Brian and Papaw have put the girl's playset together. We are jokingly calling it the Taj Mahal. The box said it should take two average skilled workers 15-16 hours. It took them 26 hours without getting the roof put on. They put it on next time they came to visit this summer. The girls just love it.

I apologize

Okay, so it has been over 2 months since I have blogged. I'm going to blame it on pure craziness. Two sets of friends from Little Rock have moved down also. So with the friends we had here from Brian's travels, other Louisiana transplants and our friends from Little Rock, we have got a great group of friends. I have been watching Marcus and Haley's two girls since they got here in July. Kacy is 9 and Abby is 5 and my girls have loved it. Being one of two girls and raising two girls, it is fabulous to watch these two girls and know that is what my future is going to be like. They will start school on Monday and I will probably cry like they are my own.

Landree is now 18 months- can't believe it! She had her checkup today and was 25 pounds (50th percentile) and 33 inches (90th percentile). She was in great health. I did get tickled when the doctor put her tongue depressor on her bottom lip and she immediately opened up and said "AHHHH." The doctor was shocked and did it two more times just to see if she would do it. She also said that she thinks Landree doesn't talk a lot because she has an older sister to take care of it and because Landree doesn't wait for things- she just goes and gets it. I really liked this pediatrician and I think we will stick with her.

I'll catch up on some pictures and post some they I have meaning to over the summer.
