All about Alli and Hannah

Our Pirate Ship Adventure

2009-06-26T11:30:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of the pirate ship that we cruised on and also a picture of mommy as she got knives thrown at her and yes they were real knives. It was quite scary for her. We all had a great time on the Black Dragon Pirate Ship.

Allison our little Pirate Girl

2009-06-26T11:15:00.000-07:00

Thursday afternoon we went on a Pirate Cruise on the Black Dragon Pirate Ship. Allison became a pirate after learning how to clean the deck, pistol fight (water guns of course), sword fight, get face mustaches and tattoos (of a Caterpillar, not sure why but that is what she wanted). It was a great show and Allison really enjoyed it.

Our Fishing Trip

2009-06-26T11:00:00.000-07:00

Thursday we went on a boat ride and fishing trip. Right off the bat Allison caught a fish. It was a snapper. She then caught a trout and another snapper. We decided that daddy and Peeps needed to take Alli out fishing with them everyday as they haven't brought home many fish and maybe she could show them a few tips. Here are a couple of pictures of the boat ride and fishing. The pictures of the fish are on another camera so will be posted later.

Just Hangin' at the Pool...

Fun at the Beach

2009-06-24T11:24:00.000-07:00

This morning we went to the beach. It was so much fun, we built sandcastles, played in the waves, and found lots of shells. Then we came back to swim in the pool for a little while. Here are some pictures to show how much fun we had.

South Padre Island Lighthouse

2009-06-23T14:55:00.001-07:00

We went to visit the Lighthouse today. The girls were too little to climb to the top so we just viewed it from the outside and then found a dolphin to ride on.

South Padre Island Sea Turtles

2009-06-23T14:32:00.000-07:00

Today, we went to see the Sea Turtles which are on the endangered list. The girls really enjoyed seeing the turtles. Here are a few pictures of them and the turtles.

The Hock Family Reunion

2009-06-22T09:12:00.000-07:00

Before we started on our trip to South Padre Island (SPI), we spent the day at Great Memaw's family reunion in Brownwood. We enjoyed getting to see everyone and had a good day playing. Here are a few pictures of us enjoying the day.

Backyard Fun

2009-06-07T20:23:00.000-07:00

Here are the girls swimming the back yard in their fun pool. They love to swim and then play at the beach, which is what Allison calls the sand box.

Allison the Super Swimmer…

2009-06-07T18:34:00.000-07:00

Allison took private swim lessons this May with a really great teacher, Jesse. She listened to him and learned so much. Here are a few pictures. She worked on the crawl, the back stroke and diving for sticks as well as floating on her back and treading water. She is our little fish. Hannah is a little fish too. They both love to swim at the Y.

Good Friday

2009-06-07T18:29:00.000-07:00

Allison got her ears pierced on Good Friday after we went to the zoo with Granny Donna. It was a really fun and eventful day. She was such a big girl and didn’t cry at all, we were so proud. Here she is showing off her new earrings.

Easter 2009

2009-06-07T18:26:00.001-07:00

The girls showing off their Easter attire. Don’t they look pretty?

Coloring Easter Eggs

2009-06-07T18:23:00.000-07:00

Allison colored some Easter eggs. Who needs a spoon to get the eggs when you can just use your whole arm…

Easter Egg Hunting 2009

2009-06-07T18:14:00.000-07:00

Aunt Heather, Baby Faith, Great Memaw, Hannah and Allison all had a great time hunting Easter eggs in the back yard. Here are a few pictures of all the fun.

A Very Cold Spring Saturday

2009-03-28T16:03:00.000-07:00

We spent the day playing inside since it was really cold outside. It was a very nice relaxing day for everyone. We'll be ready for Spring to be back though so we can play outside again...

Building of the Play Set - Spring Break 2009

2009-03-28T15:56:00.000-07:00

Peeps and Daddy worked really hard building the new play set for Allison and Hannah. Hannah and Allison tried to lend a helping hand occassionally but mostly they just played with Nana and Mommy.

Thanks so much for all your hard work Nana and Peeps the play set turned out great. We all love it!!!

2009-03-28T15:38:00.001-07:00

Here is Allison swinging on her new swing. I think she likes it...

2009-03-28T15:24:00.000-07:00

Here are Allison and Hannah waiting for the new play set to be finished. As you can see, they found a few things to keep themselves busy and entertained.

Six Flags Trip - Spring Break 2009

2009-03-28T15:03:00.000-07:00

During Daddy's spring break, we took an afternoon trip to Six Flags. We had a very fun and full day. Here is a picture of Allison dancing with Tweety and Daffy. She loved hanging out with them, but Hannah just wasn't so sure about a big black duck. All in all we had a great day.

2009-03-28T14:51:00.000-07:00

Here Alli and Hannah are enjoying their ride on the carousel.

2009-03-15T17:32:00.000-07:00

Wow! They really do love each other.

Allison at Six Flags

2009-03-15T17:25:00.000-07:00

Here is Allison's first trip to Six Flags. She loved it, especially the roller coaster. Mommy and Daddy were very happy about that since they both love roller coasters. She frequently asks about going to ride roller coasters again when we head to Fort Worth for the day. Guess we'll have to plan another trip to Six Flags soon and work on getting little sister to like roller coasters as much as Alli does.

Daddy and Hannah at Jumping Party

2009-03-15T17:17:00.000-07:00

Here was Hannah's first time to jump with Daddy at Jumping Party. As you can tell she is having a great time. Well maybe not so much...

The girls after their visit to "Who-ville"

Daddy thought he would fix their hair when he was washing it. This is why Mommy fixes their hair for church and other special outings.
