Jojo makes all sorts of funny faces. She's got this new face now that she makes every time you touch her nose, especially with water. It's like she's a toy, it's so automatic and everyone in the home laughs and laughs and presses her nose all day.

New Nursery

We just finished a big renovation project on three rooms in the house. Someone donated really nice quality tiles to put down on the floor and the guys worked hard to refinish the walls and build nice closets in the bedrooms.

One of the rooms is now our nursery and since this is the first time that I've painted any wall murals in many years, I thought it would be fun to post some pictures of how it turned out.

Trip to Six Flags, San Antonio

James (of Cristina) and their kids invited us to go to Six Flags with them. So Kenny, Alan and myself went to check it out. The water park part of the park was closed but there were still many more amusements and games. We spent the whole day there and the boys had a blast.

Thankfully we went on a weekday when there were not as many people and the lines were not very long for each ride. Apparently on weekends the lines get to be 30 to 45mins. long.

Alan and Kenny about to start their bumper car rides.

The boys had a blast on the bumper cars and wanted to do them over and over again.

Shelly (of James and Christina) breaking forth in song.
We took a roller coaster ride and it made me sick to the stomach instantly, so we rode the relaxing train around the park for 15 mins. to recover.
The place was massive and it took us all day to try out the different rides and see all the sights.

Here we are on the kiddie cars Alan and kenny really though they were neat.

Meet the team: James, Steven, Shelly, Kenny and Alan.

On the ferris wheel
Kenny went on the gas powered go-carts, I didn't know how he would do, but he had a great time and handled the go-cart without a problem. He finished last, but was pretty happy for having figured it out.
In all we had a great day. And the best part was it was all for free!
Thanks so much James for inviting us along.
