SHAMU....Here We Come!!

A couple of weeks ago, we headed to SeaWorld with the Raymundo girls.  With Moses's new found love for fish, it was going to be a WINNER for sure!

This was the only group photo of Moses, Reese, and Rowan.  It isn't that great, but better than nothing. 



SeaWorld is filled with fish, but we never made it passed Sesame Street's Bay of Play.  Here's Moses and Reese on Abby's Sea Star Spin.

"Watch out!  I'm coming through the tunnel!"

And here comes Rowan through the tunnel.

Moses and Reese had a great time building with the huge blocks.

Moses ran around in a crazy frenzy of fun!

The BEST part of the day was saved for last.

"OMG!!!  IT'S ELMO!!!!"

AAAAHHHH!  Big hug for Elmo!

Check Me Out....

Moses has become obsessed with fish.  Every time he sees fish anywhere, he yells, "FISH! FISH!" and puckers his lips to make fish sounds.  So of course when he saw a big, red fish on his swim diaper, he HAD to put it on and pucker up his lips. 

"I'm ready for a swim with the fish!"

Just Trying to Earn My Keep....

At 19 months, we have decided that Moses is quite old enough to help out with the household chores.  His first duty was vacuuming his playroom.  He did it with a smile! 

He's such a GREAT helper, could be better than his Daddy (hee!hee!)!

CHOCOLATE...CHOCOLATE....CHOCOLATE!

Since Moses is allergic to dairy, he hadn't ever had chocolate.  Luckily, Grandma Annie found dairy-free chocolate chips.

What better way to eat chocolate chips than chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast?  At first, Moses picked out the chocolate chips.   

However, after his first taste of chocolate, he was hooked!

"YUM! YUM! I'm stuffed!"



Down in the West Texas Town of El Paso....

A couple of weeks ago, Moses went to go visit his Grandma Annie in El Paso. 

Grandma Annie had all of her friends over to meet Moses.

Emilie, Grandma Annie's best friend, brought over a rocking horse for Moses to ride.  It was great practice for later.  You'll see in the pictures farther down.

Moses had to try on Mason's shoes to make sure that they were comfortable.

With the weather being quite cold, there wasn't much to do.  Since Moses needs constant entertainment, we headed to Chuck E. Cheese

Moses rode the firetruck over and over.  He had a lot of fires to burn out!

All that practice on the rocking horse worked!  Moses was quite the jockey. 



Daddy, on the other hand, should have practiced more.

 Moses got to ride on a balloon bicycle.  It was a lot of work for Mommy and Daddy because they had to do all the pedaling, while Moses enjoyed the ride up and down.

"You are pedalling too slow, so I'm outta here!"

Moses is definitely a quarterback in the making!  Mommy is sooooo proud!

Out of all the rides and games, Moses's favorite thing was putting the coins into the machines.

Moses's one and only meal that wasn't Mexican.  Just kidding....kinda!

BIG HUGS....

.....and KISSES TO GRANDMA ANNIE!

"I LOVE YOU GRANDMA ANNIE!"



I've Got Manners.....

"I'm ready to EAT!"



"OH! WAIT! I need one foot...."

"Let's make that two feet!"

"Now I'm ready to eat!"

Tough Guy

Moses got his first shiner as a toddler.  Notice we said "as a toddler", because he has already had one before he turned one.

He didn't cry much when he got it, because he's a genuine TOUGH GUY!
