I decided to take some pictures of my neice for my sister in law's birthday..here are a few of my favorites. Lexi is definately a highlight around here :)

Seaworld 2010

We  had been planning a Sea World, San Antonio trip since we went last year and Blake fell in love with a little guy we met there named Shamu.  This girl LOVES Shamu, we watch videos on you tube of his cool tricks, we sometimes sleep with his mini-stuffed replica and we had been counting down the days for this trip  for atleast 2 months.  

It happened to work out nicely because some of our very best friends' parents live about 15 minutes from Sea World and are expert grandparents that offered to keep Kate while we took the two big girls to Sea World :)  So we packed up all of us and headed out to San Antonio.....where we later met Austin trafffic, to which will always be lamented in our house.  Oh, Austin, we will never again be in your great city during rush hour, you conquered us and we have learned our lesson.  

So after VERY little sleep on the big girls' part we headed out bright and early.

Our first stop was the Shamu ride, I couldn't believe our girls were big enough to ride, but they were!

Daddy, Blake, Brandon and Lane ready for a big roller coaster.

Daddy taught Blake how to hold her hands up.



They all four did great!

Next we headed over to our main attraction.. SHAMU, which come to find out is probably a "she" since she had a little baby shamu swimming with her that day. 

This was one excited girl.   I will never forget her squeals...


Watching intently.











Some of us held on better than others...

Back at Gemaw and G-pa's house watching some Dora

Back home and so glad we got to spend a weekend with great friends and see Shamu.
