Arts and Crafts with Lexa

The Lembergs came to visit San Antonio for the Valentine's Day/President's Day weekend. We had a great time with Melissa, Mike, Lexa and Jamie. Here you can see some quite, 'down' time, which we did not have much of during the entire weekend, and some nice, creative art projects that are now hanging on our kitchen bulletin board.

Pony Riding Day at Preschool

The ponies came to school last week! What fun...at least for Sam, who was very happy to feed, pet and ride the ponies, but not so for Tyler. YOu can see Martha trying desperately to get him on the pony, but to no avail...maybe next year!

Sam's Basketball Debut

Here is Sam playing on his very competitive JCC team. He has the dribbling down and the shooting, but the travelling is a very difficult concept. As you can see, he really does have a great shot!

Time to Make the Doughnuts

Thanks to Martha, the boys LOVE going to the Krispy Cream donut factory where they can see the donuts falling off the conveyor belt into a vat of oil and follow their production. Here they have decided to make some donuts on their own...mmmm.....yummy.

Talk About A Tourist Video!

Here Mike is video taping our ride from the Las Vegas Airport to the Mirage Hotel. Anyone who has not been to Las Vegas before, will be surprised by the big buildings that look very familiar, like New York and the pyramids....only in Vegas!

Vegas, Baby!

Mike and I took a weekend trip to Las Vegas with our good friends, and neighbors, Christina and Todd and another couple friend of theirs', Betsy and Mike. We had such a lovely time. We gambled, took in a Cirque De Soleil show, slept late and ate very well. The boys had a nice vacation of their own, they were kept very busy by Martha, even enjoying a train festival.

Sick in San Antonio

These pictures span a two week period of time where 'Typhoid Tyler' was sick and proceeded to get both Mike and I very ill. Luckily, Sam miraculously stayed healthy. You can see Tyler sitting on the couch with Sam eating raisins, his only real food intake for a few days. Then you can see Tyler and Sam 'running' in a 4-mile road race with me pushing the stroller, which now weighs about 80+ lbs with both boys loaded up! You probably cannot tell, but the night before the race, I was up all night with a GI bug, sadly, though Mike was also up with a similar bug and he won the 'rock, paper, scissors' game and I got to take the boys out to the Stock Stampede Rodeo race! Lucky me. We finished, but it was a poor showing for me timewise, no marathon qualifying here.
