Trip to Rockport to see Sea Turtles

So in early February we went down to Rockport to see the Sea Turtles that the Marine Biologists found washed up on the shore. They were taking care of them until it was warm enough to release them back. But most the turtles were sick or missing fins or something from shark attacks so they are keeping them because it is very likely they will not survive long in the wild. It was so neat and fun. We are so lucky that we know a Marine Biologist who show us neat thing that are not open to the public. We always have a blast when we go to Rockport. We just can't wait until this summer so when we go it is warm enough to go swimming.

Kyle wanted to get in the water so bad and touch the turtles












After looking at the turtles Lucas had to go to the bathroom so he picked the nearest tree. Toby was so proud.

So it is Spring now and so green and beautiful with tons of wild flowers here. It has been a really wet year so now the humidity is really crazy. But I love how beautiful it is here so I don't mind. We are doing really well and loving life right now. Toby is going to be leaving on several trips soon so we will be sad to see him go. Also we found out he is going to have to have another heart surgery. I just hope this one works so we don't have to go through more invasive surgery's. Also he is going to have to have ankle surgery as well. I swear he is falling apart and he isn't even 30 yet. I (Kelli) am doing pretty good. I have recently lost 20lbs and still loosing. I feel great and loving it. Before too long I will have all my baby weight gone. Pretty sad it has taken me almost 4 years since I first put it on with Lucas. I have been keep really busy with these 2 crazy boys and everything else that is always going on here. Lucas is growing up so fast. He played soccer this year and today starts baseball. He also has been taken swimming lessons and is such a fish. I can't believe he is almost 4 years old. I don't know where time goes. Kyle is finally starting to grow and is getting big. And along with growing his attitude sure has grown too. But he still is the sweet little boy too. He is really starting to talk and of course that is exciting. He is just so fun and we love it. We just love having these boys and they bring us so much joy. We just wish that they didn't fight ALL the time. I am afraid of how it will be when they are older because they are already wrestling and punching each other all the time. They are definately all boy through and through. They are really excited because this weekend we are taking them camping for the first time. It is all Lucas can talk about right now. Lucas and his buddy are so excited because they are going to be sleeping in a Lightning McQueen tent all by themselves. We will see how long they stay in there before they get scared and climb in bed with us.

Lucas at his swimming lesson (What a fish)



Lucas loves to jump in all by himself over and over. The only kid in his class that can climb up the ladder and jump in with no fear.

I'm a slacker

So I have been a major slacker lately! Lots has been going on but not much time to blog. But I will try harder. I will try to post pictures later. The boys are getting so big and Lucas has been in swimming lessons and soccer. In a couple of weeks he will be starting baseball and he loves it. Keeps him busy. But of course his favorite thing is swimming lessons. He is a little fish. He is very advanced for his age and swimming level. So pretty soon we will have a little swimmer. Also I am a new aunt. My brother had a beautiful baby girl in January. I am excited because in May I get to go see her and stay and visit with my favorite brother and sister-in-law! Toby has had several health problems but things are getting a lot better. And for me I am looking in going back to school soon. Scary but exciting. We will see where that goes! Also back in January me and Toby were able to go to Hawaii for our 4th anniversary! It was so amazing. We also got to take yet another trip down to Rockport and it was amazing. I guess there are perks to living in Texas. Other than that we are enjoying life right now.
