The Cathedral had this beautiful sculpture of the Pieta in the main entryway. When Drew started getting fussy during Mass I took him here and paced from this statue to the one of St. Anthony (see below) until he fell asleep. 
Evan took this picture of the statue of St. Anthony and the Christ Child in the main entryway of the Cathedral.
Here is Elliot making his sand castles. Our condo is right behind him. As a matter of fact the balcony just to the left of his right ear is ours! When I say we were "beachfront." I mean we were BEACHFRONT!! You looked out from our balcony and you saw beach and water. It was a great view.
Inspired by the Fullness of Truth Conference, I attempted to make a rosary in the sand. Between Evan and Elliot constantly wanting me to do something, and the surf that kept intruding on my space, I quickly realized that it would be next to impossible to make a full rosary, so I tried to make it look like a one decade rosary.
The very first night we were in Corpus, we passed by this souvenier store and you know the boys were itching to go inside. Not only did the giant shark really appeal to them, but on the side of the store it said that they sold "Shark Tooth Necklaces" inside. Well, we finally made it to the store on Sunday evening and Evan and Elliot both got their shark tooth necklaces. Evan wore his immediately but Elliot was "too grumpy" to wear his.
Evan took this picture of us after we all ate dessert in the fanciest Dairy Queen in the world.
This is what the view was outside our window every night. Simply beautiful and wonderfully peaceful.
This is the home of the Houston Astros' AA affiliate, the Corpus Christi Hooks. The boys and I bought hats while Kim opted for a Hooks' T-shirt.
We celebrated the boys' birthdays together in style. The decor was Power Rangers (his mind changed several times, but it always came back to Power Rangers), and we had a big Moonwalk delivered to the house for the kids to bounce around in. This was the first time we had a "friends" birthday party and it was very exciting for both Evan and Elliot.
Right after everyone sang Happy Birthday, Daniel Farace (little boy in red shirt just to the left of Evan) blew out Evan's candles! Evan did manage to get the last two out.
Jared Berkovsky, Evan, Alex, Nicolas and Daniel Farace, Tyler Scott, Josh Berkovsky and Elliot. Where was Kate when this picture was taken?? We'll just have to Photoshop her in!
We rented a moonwalk and everyone loved it. The people actually set it up for us on Friday night and we did a little "pre-party" test to make sure it passed muster. Boy was it fun. Saturday morning while I was doing the dishes, I heard the sprinklers come on in the back yard which could only mean one thing: they had already been on in the front yard! I open the door to see the moonwalk drenched with water. I had to blow it up and let the sun dry it out. Again, the boys got in and played for a while before the party started.
They really enjoyed playing in Brian Hall's Lincoln Truck. We were "truck sitting" for Brian while he was in Dallas for a few days. We went riding with his sunroof pulled back and played "Superman" by Five for Fighting about ten million times. That's one of the boy's favorite songs.
The boys were the recipients of some 50+ year old blocks from Kim's Grandmother (affectionately known as "G.G." to the boys). Here is a picture of the boys enjoying them.
This picture is especially for Gran!! He was teething bad that day and I couldn't resist but to take a picture of ourselves. Couldn't you just eat him up?
We celebrated Kim's 33rd Birthday with a Strawberry Cake! Gina came over and we ate dinner and had a real nice time.
Elliot picked out the flowers for Kim. He first had yellow roses but then said "Ooh, Pink ones!!" I think he did an outstanding job.
