This week the kids school hosted the Fall musical. Ryan and Krystal got speaking parts and they both had other parts as well. This was the first time that Krystal was a narrator at her school and she did a fantastic job. On top of that she had a dancing part and truly enjoyed that part as well. Oh, and a big shout out to mommy for getting these great shots!
Oh, Ryan was a speaker and a member of the choir and did a great job as well
Just happen to have my iPhone 3Gs rolling when Warren Peters came in and put a good hit on the other team. And, in my opinion this was the game changer that put Grand Rapids on their heels and Texas scored the game winning goal shortly after this hit.
To finish up the summer we took a couple of days and went to Sea World in San Antonio. Well, guess what? Krystal is now tall enough to ride the 2nd largest roller coaster, The Steel Eel. This is a pretty intense coaster and the largest one she has ever ridden on. She had a blast and at the end of the ride she made statements such as, My stomach felt funny, and my bottom came off the seat
This pic says it all… (Krystal is front left, next to the goober with his hands up that covered mommy’s face, while no fear big brother is behind Krystal )
We went to Okmulgee, Oklahoma for the 4th of July this summer and while staying Grandpa allowed us to “help” him burn his brush pile. Needless to say his brush pile was only about 10 feet tall and the fire was a little more intense than I expected. Enjoy this video preview
I took these picture on my iPhone since I got it in 2007. I was looking over the photos this evening and I just happened to notice how much both of them are growing…
This weekend we went to Lake LBJ Yacht & Marina to try the water park. We were very pleased with the blow-ups on the water and the slides. The kids had a blast and they have a nice shaded patio next to the water for the parents to hang.
Ryan had a blast jumping off the trampoline to catapault Krystal in the air. Both of the kids struggled to get on the tall blow up mountain but they get to go more times this summer to build arm strength!
I guess it is that time, Ryan is now 11 and it is time for him to learn how to mow. This spring we started off with our yard and leanring how to go into a straight line. Uncle Mike A. was in town and got to see this comedy at the beginning of the spring.
He learned quickly and took care of the house.
Then one afternoon we saw the person mowing the yards in our neighborhood yards that are realtor maintained and Ryan asked us if he could see if he could mow those yards. We said, sure…
So off he went to go ask the realtor if he could mow the yards. Now near the end of the summer he has mowed 5 yards for the realtor.
Now for the ultimate in learning to mow Grandpa Whitlow took some time with him while we were in Oklahoma to show him how to work a riding mower. See the video below of that fun.
