If you missed out on a week in Texas...

... Then you also missed out on:

Lots of up-close-and-personal time with nieces and nephews
Watching Little League All-Stars while simultaniously watching the kids



Some serious Tetris Attack. To those who were off chasing babies, this looked more like seriously relaxing, but who's to judge?


Visiting museums that were closed for the holidays (oops!) and making the most of their outdoor sculptures instead.


Visiting presidential museums that were closing in 10 minutes but getting to visit anyway because the tour guide is SERIOUS about her job. Then leaving an hour later.


Blowing up a double pool with palm trees, dolphines, and a slide - all by yourself at only 17 months old! (well, maybe a LITTLE help from mom).

Playing in awesome double pools, complete with slide and spraying dolphin, with all your cousins!
Drinking the yummy pool water!
The swimsuit competition (Kalena won!)
Drinking more soda than any of us care to admit (we went through HOW many 12-packs?)
Lessons from Grandpa in grilling


Getting patriotic with pregnant bellies
Getting in touch with the retaining-water side of pregnancy - aghhhhhh! Thank goodness for flip-flops.
Taking field trips with everyone up/down the stairs


Diaper parties!

Pusher-toy parties!
Breakfast, served a-la carte



Haircuts

...and the best hosts in the world: Elsha and Brian van de somethingsomething (okay, Boogaard)! Thanks for letting us come play all week! We miss you and the chaos already.

What great memories! And by the way, Tetris Attack is super stressful! ;)

ok so let me get this straight...you and both of your sisters got married all in the same month and now you are all pregnant? That is bizarre, well kindof bizarre. I guess my sister and I are both pregnant too!
