The first trip to see Rockefeller's sister!

Tonight we got to meet the puppies for the first time!! There are two girls in the liter and they are so cute...they were born on the 4th of July. So they are 6 weeks old today! Kevin and I went to see them tonight and there are two to choose from...we cannot decide which one we like the best. Puppy number 1 is really sweet and is regular size for a puppy. She looks a lot like Rockefeller when he was a puppy. The only problem is that she wasn't super interested in me...she was more timid and scared. But, we woke her up from her nap as well this is the first week that they are seperated from their mommy for part of the day. So...i am hoping that might be why.

Puppy number 2 is really cute, although she is TINY!! She fits in the palm of Kevin's hand! She was born really small and hasn't been growing. She is so cute and sweet and she really liked Kevin and I today. She kept licking our hands and Kevin's face. But, if she doesn't have a growth spurt from eating the dog food in the next 3 weeks there is a chance that she is only going to be 1 1/2 lbs to 2 lbs. That would be neat, except scary because Rocky is 7 lbs and I think he is small!

We didn't have to decide because we are going to see them again in 3 weeks with Rocky. By then we will be able to see if Puppy 2 grows any, if Puppy 1 likes us more and which one Rocky bonds with! I am sure that it is not a big deal with anyone but us...but I thought I would share the pictures with you! We will keep you posted.

Puppy #1 - she is a cutie!!

Ryan, Laura and Baby Kately come to visit!

My cousin Laura, her husband Ryan and baby Kately came to visit from Missouri! It was so fun! Kately is about to turn 1 on the day before Kevin's birthday. We swam at my Mom and Dad's house, went to Sam Moon, went to the movies and just hung out! Oh yeah, we also learned so much about having a 1 year old...Kevin and I were so tired...I guess we aren't quite ready! hehe...we also got to watch some Baby Einstein dvd's and I have to say they are pretty interesting!!

Laura and Kately...she is so cute!

Don't you like her bathing suit!

She liked Kevin!! Their hair kind of matches!

Mom and Dad baby sat when we went to the movies...they really liked it! I told them to REALLY enjoy it!!

Simons Family trip to Sea World!

We went on a family trip with all of Kevin's family...Pop Phil, Mom Rosie, me and Kevin, Kevin's sister Malisa and her boys Paxton and Blaton, sister Kathy and Charlie with baby Charlie and baby #2 on the way, brother Rodney and Chelsie. So 12 all together!! It was a fun time but, hectic with so many people. It was fun for Kevin and I because on the way down we got to stop in Austin and see Jamie and her new puppy Jax...he is too cute! (see picture below)

When we got to San Antonio we relaxed then got up early the next day to start our first day at Sea World...lots of fun! We saw some neat shows with fancy dolphins, synchronized swimmers and crazy aerobic jumper people. Then it was so hot, we decided to go to the water part of the park. We ate lunch saw another show and then were done for the day.

That night we went to the Riverwalk...I think I had been once before a long time ago...so, it was neat to see again. Not the greatest day to go since it was Saturday night and we were trying to find a place to eat with 12 people! The Lord must have been looking out for us though because He provided a GREAT mexican resturant that had great food. As well, they had this band that played songs for money...Kevin of course had them play...he chose devil went down to georgia...you wouldn't think that it would sound that great with those three guys...but it was AWESOME!!! Worth a bunch of dollars!! After dinner, some of us went to ride the boats around the Riverwalk and hear all about the interesting buildings and stuff.

Day 2 we got up and went to Sea World...we saw the Shamu show, which was a pretty cool show, but somehow I remember it as a much bigger show when I was younger. Then we went to see the horses (which baby Charlie was REALLY excited about) and then I got to feed the dolphins...pretty cool...stinky, but cool!! After that we left the park and went back to the hotel to relax and swim.

Other than that we just hung out and finally made it back home late on Monday! Here are some pictures of our trip below...enjoy!

Here is Jax!! He is so cute!

4th of July with friends!

For the fourth of July we decided to go to the Rangers game with our friends Chad and Chantelle. It was a really fun time except that it rained and the game got delayed like FOREVER!! We were super lucky because our seats were one row back from getting wet...it was perfect. Except when the fireworks started and we couldn't see them very well...It was still fun...

Chad, Chantelle and me at the game

Me and my sweet hubby Kevin

Here is the view we had for like 2 hours during the delay of game...and all the wet people with umbrellas!

Fireworks!!

more fireworks!!

Goodbye USS Haslet!

So, I know this is late, but I finally took a picture of the USS Haslet at night time...As you can see it is very much like a space shuttle launching. It is a sad day because I guess they finally got done digging because it is gone. All we have now is the picture...
