Oh What FUN a Chair can be!

Austin and his friend Briley had a lot of fun playing peek-a-boo with his favorite chair today. I got this chair from Ikea for Austin and he just loves it. It spins and the orange cover comes all the way down so the kids can hide inside of it.

FAMILY PICTURES!

Today we had our family pictures taken at the Japanese Tea Garden. I think they turned out really cute. We won this free photo shoot at a Ward Valentine activity. Melissa Kroll in our ward was the one who took them. If anyone in the San Antonio area is interested in having your family pictures done, you can check out her website at www.eternityphotography.com. She is having a special right now for $100. That includes the copyright to all of the prints!

Playgroup at the ZOO!

This Tuesday we went to the San Antonio Zoo for playgroup. The best part was feeding the birds. I have been to the zoo multiple times since we moved to Texas, but I never even knew that you could feed them!

Ashlyn and Austin's BIRTHDAY party!

On September 27th we had a combined birthday party to celebrate Ashlyn's 4th birthday and Austin's 2nd birthday. We had the party at Artworks. The kids had fun painting and making tie-dye t-shirts.

Santiago's trip to Elko, Nevada with the kids

Ashlyn and Austin had a big early birthday party while they were in Elko.

In September Santiago took the kids to Elko to see his family one last time before he leaves for Iraq in November. I couldn't go because of school. The kids had a lot of fun playing with their cousins, while I had a lot of fun studying!
