The wonderful treehouse built by grampa!! Well, and me, and Lex!! It is huge! 7 1/2 tall and 10 feet off the ground! The kids love it, of course... who wouldn't! Thanks grampa, you so totally ROCK!!!

Lexie took some adorable pictures of Olive in her cute little, okay I mean BIG tutu I made her! She is so stinking cute. And as usual Lexie did an awesome job!

for some reason I couldn't get Indie's video to upload so here it is!

the kids figured out how to video on my moms computer... at first they didn't know they were recording and we found like 75 videos on her computer! Here is some for your enjoyment!

The butterfly pavillion

We went to the butterfly pavillion with Naunie yesterday and had a great time. We saw tons of butterflies and cool bugs. Some big ole tarantulas! The kids, well not Indie even got to hold it! Even Olive and I held it!

Rosy the Tarantula!

The boys trying to hold still so a butterfly will land on them

Caught one!

So did I!!!

Indie was very excited to hold this one

Naunie and Olivetta

The butterflies loved this guy's shirt!! They were landing all over him

Here is a picture of Olive's new face.... real adorable. (Her eyes are during a hazel/green color! You can really tell in this photo)

My brother just went on a 4 day painting hike in the mountains. Besides it being one of the best experiences in his life, next to me beating him in arm wrestles when we were kids, of course. He has painted some of the most beautiful paintings that he will be selling at an art gallery next month. Some of the proceeds will go to the area where he hiked to help preserve it so the miners don't come in and destroy it. Check them out HERE....

Sea World

Ok, I really don't feel like typing so here are a few photos of Sea World... More to come!

The cool glass tank
The cousins

This Shamu was HUGE!!!

They do some really really amazing tricks. It makes you wanna just jump in and swim with them. Sadly I don't think my doggy paddling would make the cut.

This trainer was pregnant she did a cute little routine with this baby whale and its mama!!
