Kylie's Kayak Adventures!

Hi! We had another great weekend! Friday evening we went to the Island again. Jeremy finally bought a kayak. (For those of you who know him, he's been talking about buying a kayak for a LONG TIME!) Anyway, they had a great time with it ~ Jonathan took Kylie out on it & like always she loved it! Even when they got dumped over!! When it was on shore this is what she kept doing!! She's learning more words every day. She said 'puppy' this morning and always say "Korey" now! She pointed to our family picture on my table yesterday and said 'dada...drama (grandma). She finally said "memy" (Jeremy) this weekend too! Sorry to you other uncles -- I try to get her to say your names too, but right now you arn't special enough! :-) Don't feel too bad, she don't say 'momma' very much either! Its 'dadda' all the way!! Korey figured out he has hands this weekend too! Its pretty funny to watch him. He'll just sit and look at them while he's playing with his hands! He always smiles & laughs at us now when he sees us or we talk to him! Ok, I gotta go!! Today is the laundry/cleaning day!! (I'm on my lunch break! ~ LOL!)

My Greatest Claim to Fame

I read in a book once that you should always say that about your spouse. Well, I've been thinking about that alot lately. I'm always posting about the kids, so this post is about my 'greatest claim to fame'!

First, I want to thank him for marrying me. It's not always easy living with me I'm sure! Some days I can't stand living with myself! Where we've not always been wealthy, (still are not) but he's always provided for us! I have a roof over my head & a vehicle to drive (2 if I would take the time to learn to drive the 4-Runner)! We all have clothes to wear & food to eat! And when I know he really desires to be in Mexico, he's here working to take care of his family! I really appreciate that. I know God will honor that some day in His time & allow us to be in Mexico. I gotta tell ya too, my husband looks great in his job right now, but he looks best telling someone about Jesus.

I love you, Jonathan, with my whole heart! Thanks for being 'my greatest claim to fame!'

The beach!!!!!!

Yesterday was another interesting day! :-) Jeremy came over around lunch time & we sat here wondering what to do - when someone suggested going to the beach!!! We all agreed very quickly, so started to get ready to go. When we got to the causeway we could tell there was not alot of people around, so I asked Jonathan if we could try the 'public' beach ( where they have showers & bathrooms!), & he agreed! It was awesome! The beach was nicer than the other area & the water was clearer because of the jetties! They were diving to find shells & found to big ones!!

Kylie's love for water is growing, so Jonathan bought her this baby inter tub thing & took her out in the waves! He said she was having so much fun! They were jumping waves and she would say 'wow'! When he brought her in close to the shore, & tried to get her to come play in the sand, and she kept saying, 'no, no, no'!

Kylie & Daddy having LOTS of fun!!!!

Jeremy also buried her in the sand! She loved it. We tried to get her to come out & she'd go, 'augg'! She finally got out, I can't remember if he helped her or she did it on her own, but then she turned around to get up & put her face in the sand!

We ended the evening by eating at the Pirates Landing restaurant. We usually go to this Mexican/Seafood place but it was closed & we were all hungry for more than 'whataburger'. It was good food, but I did feel a little under dressed. That pretty much sums up the day! We got home around 10:30-11:00 I think & went to bed because Jonathan had to be at work at 5AM again today! A crab we found on the roadKylie & Tio Jeremy outside Pirates LandingAsleep after a long day of play!

Reading books together

Hopefully, they'll always do things together, but if not, I'm gonna enjoy moments like these!! By the way make sure you check out my parents blog!http://www.ralphnritafetzer.blogspot.com/ Sorry this is short -- I gotta go make supper! Jonathan is just getting off work right now. (8:30PM) "Look Korey, this is how the wheel turns"

The Zoo

Yesterday, we took the kids to the zoo in Brownsville, finally!!! It was a fun day! We got half way though it & it started raining. We didn't have anything else to do - so we sat under a 'shelter' (one made of straw that leaked) and waited it out. It cleared up some and then started to rain again, but it was still fun! Kylie loved it!! The petting zoo area was her favorite I think. Jonathan took her in because you were not allowed to take strollers, so I stayed with Korey. We didn't get any good pics of her because she kept moving around so much. She went up to the goats & said 'awe' and then petted it. It was funny. Her other favorite thing was monkeys! (We all enjoyed them!!) She would pound on the glass & laugh!!! It was too dark in that area to take pictures, we tried but when I put them on the computer they are really dark. Korey did really good too, he slept most of the time! We ended up being there around 6 hours! Petting the goats!Checkin' out the birds!

Just chillin'
