Zoo Day!

On one of our first visits to the Dallas zoo the kids got to hand feed giraffes! It was amazing! Kennan got slimmed by a giant tongue. We went to a bird exhibit and fed some birds. Kyler was so brave to let a bird sit on his arm for the first time.

Welcome Coco!

We welcomed "Stinky Coconuts" AKA "Coco" the Beta fish into our family this afternoon on an impulsive visit to Petsmart. It was fun setting up the little aquarium and letting him into his home.

Our New House in Dallas

Here is a picture of our new house in Dallas. I am so excited! It needs some updating inside but I am looking forward to putting our personal touch on it!

Kyler's First Attempt at Dressing Himself

This is what happens when you let your kid pick out his own clothes for the day. I say, at least he is color coordinated!! I finally convinced him to put on a shirt after I told him that the policeman will come get him because he will think you are crazy (plus it is too cold).

Under Contract

We have been under contract for 6 days now. Almost done with the option period. Now to find a house in Dallas!

Dinner at Truglios

Another yummy dinner at the Truglio house! I think I was exhausted from Kennan keeping me up all night at the hotel because I didn't take many pictures.

Christmas Evening at the Roth House

Round two at the Roth house! My kids are so blessed! Kennan received a pink tricycle from Uncle Mike and Uncle Tom. Kyler received a Razor rider from Uncle Tom and Uncle Mike. They had so much fun trying them out.

Christmas Morning at The Hood House

The kids woke up to many gifts from Santa! Kyler had been working very hard on earning these gifts over the past several months. Thanks to Grandma Hood for making this such a special morning! Kennan loves her stuffed animals... kisses, kisses, and more kisses!

Hood Family Christmas Eve

Here are some pictures from the Hood family Christmas Eve party. Fun Times! The shot of Aunt Melissa and Kennan is priceless!

Aunt Renell & Kids

here are some cute shots of the kids with Aunt Renell around Christmas time.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Hood family.

Tug Boat Island

We took the kids to a local park called Tug Boat Island, which is right next to the Port Neches River. It is probably the most interesting park I have ever seen. Kyler had so much fun running around and exploring. Uncle Jeremy sure got a work out following him on all the stairs and slides. Afterward, we walked over to the river where we watched some boats coming in, and we fed some seagulls. Then Jamie and Jeremy took Kyler to another slide. I call this slide the "death slide".

Thanksgiving Day

I didn't take as many pictures as I had thought, but here are a few. Kennan started walking the day before but refused to put on a show in front of all the extended family. Of course, as soon as they left she started walking around again. Kyler had fun playing around with the car walker and even pretended it was a train (with Aunt Renell as the caboose). It was great having lots of family to help entertain the kids while mom and dad took some time off! Kennan got tuckered out from all the excitement (Exhibit A.. laying flat on the floor!).
