Christmas at Sea World Continues

I am so behind in my blogging, it is April and these are still Christmas pics. I have been really slacking on the picture taking but it is pretty hard to lug around the Nikon and two toddlers at the same time. Suck it up I know!

Anyway, I don't know what I was looking at and I don't know why I am including this pic but oh well. Maybe I want to remember myself in the younger years, ha. The big 40 is approaching, yikes a rama!

My mom and Tryst, he has changed so much. He is talking up a storm and copying anything you say, which is not good for Dusty because he has a potty mouth. I am just waiting for Tryst to say a bad word.

He is saying a bunch of phrases but his fave are: Stop it, candy (which is not a phrase but is one of his fave words, and don't ask me how and 21 month old knows the word candy, ha. We eat a lot of sweets in our house), poo poo and then runs away because the boy loves to sit in poop. He hates his diaper changed.

He loves animals and loves dogs to death. I am truly missing my bestie, Harley, boo hoo. We are planning to get another dog once we find a permanent home, the house is still on the market and my husband is a cleaning fool, ha. Going off on a tangent, it is so nice not to have to clean.

Tryst's new thing is his blankie, he just started it a couple of days ago. He is carrying Harlowe's old blanket around and will not part with it. I even bought him a fancy, Restoration Hardware fuzzy baby blanket, but he loves the old tattered one, who knew.

Everyone will be happy to know his temper is still in full swing but he is becoming easy going and much easier to manage. Thank the Lord, ha.

Dustin said I almost broke this poor horses back, ha.

My baby girl and I on this big net thing that you can climb to reach a big slide. She was scared at first but loved it after a while.

Very good exercise, I was sweating by the time we did it a few times, or I am just that out of shape.

We got to take some pics with some characters of Sea World. My brother and his fam left early so they missed out on these pics.

The lights were so pretty, every thing seemed to be lit. We got season tickets again to Sea World this year, thanks to my very generous mother. I just love Sea World, if I lived in SA I would go all the time.
But my mom is trying to get this fancy condo in the Hyatt hotel on the Riverwalk so hopefully we can visit my mom a lot this summer if she gets it, fingers crossed.

Me and my baby girl. She is three and such a character. She has got a little tude on her lately and Dusty does not appreciate it at all. He says she has my attitude which I totally see, yikes. She still is such a caring and nurturing little girl. She absolutely loves her brother and watches over him when they are with other kids, it is the cutest thing.

It was hard at first having two so close but they really love each other and play so well with each other, it is so fun to watch.

Harlowe is in gymnastics again and we are making an effort to take her every week. Last year we didn't take her that much but this year I think she really enjoys it. She is learning how to do a cart wheel and slowly but surly she is doing it. It is so funny to watch, but I can tell she is making progress each week.

We also signed her up for dance classes which I don't like as much but she seems to enjoy it. I think this summer we are going to do gymnastics and swimming lessons. She is asking to do swimming this year so we will see. Hopefully I won't drown her again this summer.

I don't think I blogged about it because it was so short lived but we signed Harlowe up for the soccer team, total disaster. I signed up for the fall season thinking it would be kinda cool but in Texas, it doesn't get cold until December. So needless to say Dustin and I were sweating our butt's off watching her and we literally had to make her go out there crying and all. After a couple of practices Dustin and I threw in the towel, it was just too hot and Harlowe is not an outside girl when it comes to heat. I know bad example about quiting but hopefully she won't remember the soccer mishap, ha.
