New puppy

We picked up our new puppy today!!

She is a miniature dashund and she is just too precious!! So precious that I decided to call her PRECIOUS!! How cute is that?!? The babies absolutely adore her!! She has her moments of activity and long moments of sleep. I wish I could sleep like that!!

Our mini vacation

We took a mini vacation to Moody Gardens this year. With the girls being gone and Makayla already missing 6 weeks of gymnastics we really can't afford for her to miss anymore so we had to settle for a mini vacation this year. We left Friday late morning and went out to Space Center Houston. The girls played and explored new things about space. Makayla and Julie climbed in the ropes and Isa did the bunjee trampoline jump. They even had the Star Wars exhibit so we got some interesting pictures, of the girls, and even Ruben!!!

We left Space Center and went down to the Kemah Boardwalk and had dinner at the Aquarium.

We didn't have much time to play but we saw a juggler and listened to Andy and the Dreamsicles. Saturday morning we headed down to Moody Gardens. We saved some money and bought a yearly pass which got is access to all the attractions. We explored the aquarium, the ridefilm and the 3D Imax adventure of Sea Monsters. We then headed over to the Moody Gardens hotel where we played in the pool until dinner time. Sunday morning we went back to Moody Gardens and continued our exploring. We went to the Rainforest Pyramid and the 4D Theatre.

From there we headed over to the strand for a little shopping. We took the girls to the Candy Factory and ice cream shop. Overall I think they all had a great time even if it was just a weekend.

They're home!!!

Makayla and Julie are home!!! We are very excited to have them home. Isa and
Alayna have been their shadows. They are getting back into their routine especially the gymnastics. They missed it!!!! Makayla bounced right back in all her events despite missing 6 weeks of workouts. Julie struggled a little bit with gymnastics. Julie also started art camp today. I think she is getting more out of it this summer than last year. She was excited to hear she was going again. Tomorrow is bring a friend day so she is taking her best friend Emily. Emily is spending the night and spending the day with us after art camp. Isa has school tomorrow and I'm worried it will be a difficult day for her knowing that her sisters are home. I hope she goes without any problems. Our little Alayna is finally weaned. After Mommy's night out on Friday she couldn't nurse for at least 24 hours so we just called it quits. She was doing fine with it until today. Today she has been tugging at my shirt and really trying to get it. Maybe it has a little to do with Mommy. Mommy was okay until today when the pain set in.

Our blog

Since our PC died and our Roadrunner account converted to comcast, we've lost access to many things including our blog so we created a new one. There have been many accomplishments with the girls since our last update on the old blog over a year ago! We had a beautiful baby girl shortly after the last update. Makayla traveled to Australia and made it to State with Team Cypress. Julie has become quite the artiste!!! Isabella started school this summer and enjoys it more than anything. All in all the girls are ALL excelling to their very best!!
