Look-a-Like

I have been told how Brett looks like Doug. Some of the same people then said that Zach also looks like Doug. However, Brett and Zach could not look more different! I do see both traits of me and Doug in both boys, however have always felt they each strongly favor one of us. Brett favors Doug, especially the Socha side....while Zach favors me! Proof below! A picture is worth a thousand words............I have keep silent long enough, now I speak through the pic below. Laurie at 2yrs old: Zach at 2yrs old.

Our New Home!!!

Schliterbahn 2009

Every year we go to Schliterbahn. This year in no exception. So when Brett asked to visit the Alamo, we just added that onto our usual Schliterbahn trip. Hard to have pics when you are at a water park. They have started taking your picture throughout the park for you and you can get them as you leave. Great, now we can have photos of our trips there.

Dinner with Shamu

At Sea World we had a very special dinner. We at with Shamu. We got to go back to her swimming pool behind the arena and have a wonderful dinner. After eating, we got to get up close and personal with the whales. We even got to spend some time with the trainers asking all kinds of questions. What a great memory.

The Alamo

We took a small, Texas family vacation this summer. Brett studied Texas history in 4th grade and he wanted to see the Alamo. So, we went! We visited the Alamo, the wax museum, and the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum. Boys had a blast. The really got into the history of the Alamo battle! Bridge on the river walk.
