Nafziger Weekend 2011

We had another great Nafziger weekend at the lake this year! We headed down Thursday afternoon and got to the lake around 5:00, we headed to Larry's at the Lake with Grandpa and Uncle Blake for dinner. Kinley and Riley love feeding the fish.

Friday we managed to find time for one of Riley's favorite things....tubing! Riley had a long list of things he wanted to do while we were there. We had to keep reminding him this wasn't our annual week long trip and that we were just there for a weekend. I think we are all looking forward to our annual week down there! :)

Of course Kinley had to tube too and wanted Grandma to ride with her. :)

I love this picture of the kids. They were playing together so nicely when I took this. :)

Just floating...

I really wish I would have taken more pictures of all of the fam....but it was so hot I was too lazy to get out of the water to get my camera all the time. I snapped a few here and then then I had to get back in the water! :)

Cousins...

Little Fish....

"Daddy,

can
I

jump

off the

diving board?"

Kinley LOVES to go off the diving board....and asks when she can go off the diving board even when we are not swimming. She's such a little fish. I'm so glad she loves the water....but she's almost too fearless! :)

Last night she walked to the end of the diving board and did a "twist"....and preceded to tell us that she can do a "twist" because that is what Riley does. She jumped way too close to the diving board when she did this so she had us all worried. We had to explain to her she can't do a "twist" until she is 8 years old, and "twists" are not for 2 year olds. She said, "Mama, kids can do twists"......uggg....so sassy. But so far she hasn't done it again....we'll see. :)

I can't wait to take her to the lake!! I hope she likes it as much as the pool!

Riley showing all of his moves......

Grandma Steinkamp and Aunt Amy came to visit this week....it was so nice to have them around! The kids loved having someone else to show off for. :)

Happy 4th of July!! Sunday night we met the Hitt family in Hopedale to let the girls ride the rides and they had SO much fun! They rode the carousel, train, motorcycles and went down the BIG slide. The look on their faces coming down the huge slide was priceless....they were laughing when they got to the bottom though and wanted to go again so it must not have scared them too bad. :) I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pictures of them together. :(

Monday morning we went to the parade and the kids got LOTS of candy. We spent the afternoon by the pool we were HOT after the parade! Then we went to watch the fireworks in the evening. Such a fun 4th of July and such great weather!

Happy Father's Day!!

We had a pretty relaxing Father's Day around here. Matt wanted to grill out and hang out by the pool. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Nafziger's for lunch and came back and all took naps. Then we headed out to the pool before dinner. It was a great day for a Great Daddy!! We love you Daddy! :)

It's a Boy!!!

Kinley and Riley will have a new baby brother in October!! They are so excited!! (And so are we!)

When we were in San Antonio we went to a 3D Sonogram place so we could find out what the baby is! We wanted both of the kids to be there with us when we found out so it was really the best time for us to go. We're so glad we took them. Riley was super excited and jumping around the room. :) He wanted him to come out now. Kinley all of the sudden decided she wanted a sister when we found out it was a boy....but she soon warmed up to the idea of a brother. She had never really had an opinion before, but I think when she saw Riley so excited she decided she wanted to be difficult. Brotherly and sisterly love. :) Now all she can talk about is feeding him a bottle and giving him his paci.

The lady that did our sonogram was so nice! We got to see him on a huge projector screen across the wall. We only had a 2D since I was only 18 weeks along...and were just trying to confirm gender....but she turned on the 3D and took a couple of good pictures for us! :) It was easy for Riley to see what was going on and see his heartbeat and all his parts. It was great to see his reaction...he was pretty into it.

I can't wait for him to be here and have all of the kids together. He will be such a great addition to our family!!

I took pics of both of the kids in their Big Brother and Big Sister shirts a while back....but I must have accidentally deleted them....so here is a couple of Kinley for now. I will try to snap another and post it soon!

~San Antonio~

We headed to San Antonio over Memorial Day weekend to visit Becky and Terry. It was so nice to see them and get the kids together, we all had a ball! It was HOT, but we managed. We went to Sea World during the evening and visited The Schlitterbahn Waterpark one day to keep cool.

Kinley loved her first plane ride. This was Riley's first commercial flight and he was a little worrried when the plane was flying so high. He got used to it by the second flight though. They both were troopers on the plane rides....and we left at 6:15 am on Thursday morning to get down there. It was a very long day!!

Cousins

Fun on the Slip n Slide.....if you were outside you needed to be in the water.....the kids had a blast!!

Matt wanted to visit a restaurant he saw on Man vs. Food.....Big Lou's Pizza. They serve 42" pizzas. We got the 20" and it was delicious!!! The had the best sauce and crust.....we wanted to make it back for more but didn't get there again.

We visited the Alamo....it wasn't open to walk through...we went too late. Kind of a bummer. But it was still neat to see.

We went to Sea World and saw the Shamu Show, Matt and Riley went on a water ride and the kids played in the waterpark there before we headed home.

Happy Mother's Day!!

We headed over to the Peoria Zoo today. It was so nice to get outside and enjoy the nice weather!! Kinley had a great time and loved seeing all of the animals. We asked her what her favorite animal was and she said the fishy...she had seen giraffes, rhinos, zebras and many other things and her favorite was a tiny fish in an aquarium....go figure. :) After the zoo we headed to Texas Roadhouse. Yum!! What a great Mother's Day!! :)
